@Empire1872 Looks like it hits his hand there mate, thats the thing, its completely subjective. The ref and var agree its a handball, end of. Any videos of the keeper emptying maeda in the first, by any chance? Cos its obvious af

Confirming what everyone (apart from Celtic fans) knew already.

@EejaytheDJ @Empire1872 @Baldy_Bassey Rangers???? What tf has this to do with them? They won one league in 20 years ffs

@Empire1872 @Baldy_Bassey Imagine losing the league title on this If Hearts and Rangers don’t go nuclear on this corruption after Sunday. Then both of them will be taking it up the arses for years to come

@Kyle_Gunn97 And does anyone give a fuck what you think?

My view on the Celtic v Motherwell penalty. Never a penalty kick and I attach no blame to John Beaton whatsoever. All on Andrew Dallas for me.

@The_Forty_Four Yes i can. Thats doesnt clear anything up. The ref and the var saw it wtf is the problem.

Not even Celtic fans can say it hits his hand now… Clear as day

@EwenDCameron @LennieJim @shebahn @MotherwellFC @chris_sutton73 Fair enough, so whats the issue? Justice was done. Btw that video still looks like a handball to me.

@LennieJim @shebahn @MotherwellFC @chris_sutton73 It would have had Celtic lost the game or drew it

Those who questioned the integrity of Sam Nicholson owe the boy an apology. The @MotherwellFC player swore on his kids life that the ball didn’t strike his hand. This new video clip is the clearest evidence of that. I’m looking at you @shebahn @chris_sutton73

@HHHendricks1 @ScottishFA Wtf haha crazy fuckwit

@ScottishFA At least you are openly admitting why Beaton & other's are so shit scared to make fair, honest & correct calls. They are shit scared of reprisals from Celtic fans. When it comes to the crunch, human nature is to protect oneself & loved ones. Thus a desire to gift them everything.

Scottish FA statement.

@billyc1990 @MGGA1874 Wtf are you even trying to say here? You crazed paranoid fool

@MGGA1874 See the funny thing is also, Motherwell Celtic second half started 3 minutes before we (hearts game) did, they had 5 mins added on we had 3 mins, we got just over the 3 and ref blows the whistle and our game finished first 🤔 then soon as it did Celtic get the pen! #cheats

By the way they can debate the penalty all they want, but yet again its a case of playing on well after stoppage time ended. Nearly 97mins when Beaton goes over to the monitor when only 5mins were to be added. Just keep playing till they get a decision or a goal.

@nffc999 Hearts fan enjoy singing about being up to their necks in irish peoples blood, you gimp. Universally hated in ireland, expect a few 17th century blow-ins, the syphilic brushings of english jails.

The whole of the UK/Ireland on Saturday #Celtic #Hearts #SPL

@nffc999 I can tell you 99% of ireland is supportimng the hoops

@mev1508 @OlaniRose @alanshearer The ball hit his hand, even if yoy think thats doctored, you can clearly see it the video and other still images. You can just refuse to look at evidence😂 plus why on earth would beaton and dallas give a penaltyto celtic, what do they get out if it.

@Mochloceart @OlaniRose @alanshearer Well thats that then. Good thing there is no technology these days that can doctor images otherwise I might think thats fake. Motherwell boy should consider changing to volleyball as force he can get on hitting ball with hand without any force would make him unstoppable.

But we were told it was for absolute howlers ONLY and they WONT re referee and maximum benefit and minimum interference!!! 🤷🏼‍♂️ #GETRIDOFIT

@Leisham38 @henrywinter How do you its fake?

@Mochloceart @henrywinter If you believe that photo is real can I suggest you don’t open any emails about Nigerian lottery wins 🤦🏻‍♂️ Then get your grandkids to explain what AI is

Celtic’s penalty was certainly a debatable decision. Impossible to be definitive either way, hence current widespread inquest, so they really should have stayed with original on-field. No pen. Understandable anger amongst Motherwell and Hearts coaches, players and supporters. Hearts now travel to Celtic Park for a title decider. The Foundation of Hearts, which owns 75% of the club, has called “on those responsible for the officiating of Saturday’s match to ensure that the highest standards of decision-making are applied, so that the game is decided by the players on the pitch and the team is given the fair opportunity it has earned”. Strong words. North and South of the Border the quality of officiating - and consistency – has been questioned this season. The problem is not the technology but those using it. There are some very competent officials about. But more are needed. Whether the Fir Park hand-ball was the worst decision ever is a moot point. Here are a few that spring immediately to mind, clear-cut mistakes, bound to trigger some frustrated flashbacks, in no particular order…. Diogo Dalot on Jeremy Doku, somehow only a yellow. Michael Keane on Doku, somehow only a yellow. Jordan Pickford taking out Virgil van Dijk. Harry Kane foot up on Andy Robertson. Tomas Soucek stopping a shot from Conor Gallagher with his hand. Rodri hand-ball against Everton. On it goes. Elliot Anderson on Ollie Watkins, cleared on review, mad. Kelechi Iheanacho denied a goal for Celtic against Braga when VAR ruled he’d handled when the ball came off his cheek. Gabriel not being dismissed for lowering his forehead into Erling Haaland. Luis Diaz punished for a non-existent offside when scoring for Liverpool against Tottenham. Lee Mason left his VAR job “by mutual consent” and PGMO apologised after he failed to draw the lines and spot Christian Norgaard offside in the build-up to Ivan Toney scoring for Brentford, costing Arsenal two points. And many others. The problem isn’t the technology; it’s the people using it, with the additional issue in Scotland of whether there is sufficient investment in the technology infrastructure. VAR is the safety net - but currently with too many holes.

@Cadarn82 @alanshearer 100% mate. I wasnt really meaning everyone, more meant we didnt really rise a fuss. In terms of scottish league i 100% understand why people want hearts to win just doesnt mean celtic shouldnt be given clear cut penalties.

@Mochloceart @alanshearer Be careful about speaking for 'all'! Many people, like me, didn't want VAR 'beforehand' and a great deal of football fans aren't fussed who stumbles to the Scottish crown ... they're just enjoying the climax to the season (again - like me) or don't really care / even know!

@brz_1872 Yea, cant believe oldco were allowed to buy leagues and cups with illegally registered players. Shambles

If Hearts go and do it on Saturday, they’ll have not only won the league against all odds, they’ll have done it while being governed by the most corrupted group of officials in any football league in Europe. It will be the most commendable title win we’ve ever seen in Scotland.

@shaunvlog_ Well actually celtic fans are correct. The neutrals want the fair tale hearts league win so they arent looking at the incident rationally. Youd be screaming for that pen if it was your team fs

Everyone in the world is wrong apart from Celtic fans?

@Cadarn82 @alanshearer We all wanted it beforehand tbh. Id probably agree that its made the game worse but last nights incident was actually a good example of var working. Missed by ref, quick check and celtic got their pen, correctly. I know everyone wants hearts to win but there are rules.

@Mochloceart @alanshearer I'm not writing about that specific incident ... the damage done to The Game, by allowing the tenticles of VAR to creep in, and the existential threat to The Game in the years to come is more concerning to me (and it should be to every football supporter) than one penalty call.

@MMcculloch2563 @BarryAnderson_ @sharon1208 Remember your club used illegal side letters to pay players they wont have been able to afford normally......maybe just sit tf down you hun dog

@BarryAnderson_ @sharon1208 Where have you been when this has happened literally every season in their favour and cost Rangers numerous titles and cups?

Hearts owners question refereeing decisions as the club seek answers after Motherwell and Celtic incidents impact the Scottish Premiership title race. edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football…

@sellar_james @BBCSportScot And he called it right

@BBCSportScot The Arsenal v West Ham game incident involved the possibilty of 3 or 4 fouls whereby VAR has to run through them all to see which should take priority and whether you agree last night, the ref had one decision to make, did the ball hit the raised hand, yes or no!

'If that's a penalty that is absolute garbage' Ryan Stevenson gave his thoughts on Celtic's late penalty last night. #BBCFootball

@BBCSportScot That cunt literally decided to tattoo his face and i have to listen to his opinions? Wtf haha

@Leisham38 @henrywinter Why? Celtic should have gotten the penalty cos its a handball. Are you fustrated by the rules being applied fairly?

@henrywinter Henry, Hearts were denied a penalty on Saturday evening at the exact spot Celtic got theirs. The referee was called to the monitor and didn’t give it. Hearts have since had an apology from the head of refereeing for that not being given. This adds to the obvious frustration

@Chris_Gilmour @henrywinter This is clear and obvious mate

@henrywinter The VAR audio will demonstrate whether it's a clear & obvious error that was being pointed out, or if John Beaton simply didn't have a clear view of the incident to make a decision. That's something entirely different & is one of the main reasons VAR was brought in.
