@SteelmenNews We absolutely got away with one, you can’t dispute it hits his arm/hand however imo it’s not a penalty. Handball rule needs to be looked at massively as it’s so inconsistent.

Had actually thought this one would be deemed correct and the Longelo one incorrect, but the KMI panel have disagreed.
Hearts fans will be fuming, regardless.
Here’s something you won’t catch Celtic fans from Wednesday say: we got away with one there.

The Scottish FA’s Key Match Incident panel say Hearts should have been awarded a penalty at Fir Park for the challenge on Alexandria Kyziridis by Tawanda Maswanhise. scottishfa.co.uk/media/14591/38…

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
English
@J_oh_n @CiaranW94 So your now saying the ball hit his hand. Thanks for clarifying 👍🏻
English
@CiaranW94 @RacingClark His hand was forced up by trusty. There’s clear outside influence there. Don’t be so fucking thick 😂
English
These fuckers won’t dare show the video.

Put this to bed before it grows arms and legs. There is no world where this isn’t handball
English
@geniusLubo Nonsense , awful take. Absolutely battered us with a budget probably less than a quarter of ours.
English
@SMMediaEnt No but that wasn’t your original statement. Your said it was subjective it hit his hand which clearly it did. It’s subjective wether it’s a penalty or not. Handballs like that have been an issue all season.
English
@RacingClark On the last part we agree, it’s irrelevant or should be irrelevant who I or anyone else supports, it’s a 17 second check for a subjective decision that almost everyone in football has been split on, there’s no conclusive evidence that it’s a penalty kick
English
Whether you think there is a handball or not, there is such a subjective element to it that no ref going to a monitor can conclusively say that it’s a penalty.
The process was way too quick for such a subjective decision, we were being told that the audio wasn’t functioning correctly which should have meant a longer check.
It wasn’t thorough enough, therefore they panicked and that is the story of the SFA and their use of VAR.
English
@SMMediaEnt It’s obvisouly isn’t , your arguing that facial expression are the exact same when there would be a split second between both images. It’s obvious who you support. Again I don’t think it should be a penalty, the problem lies with the refereeing & VAR in this country.
English
@RacingClark You first use an image that was artificially made up so I don’t think you can use anything
English
@SMMediaEnt Another image at the moment the ball makes contact with the players , your using an image where the ball isn’t even close to the player which is irrelevant. It’s not subjective it clearly strikes his arm. Wether it’s a penalty or not is up for debate.
English
@RacingClark Facial reaction and body movements are exactly the same in this photo, think you’ve been using the same software as Tommy Sheridan
English
@kim_jong_dong69 @SMMediaEnt What I would say is that the uproar is unwarranted , we’ve seen handball like this given all season.
English
@kim_jong_dong69 @SMMediaEnt The original post said the handball was subjective which is clearly isn’t that’s what I’m arguing. I’m not even sure what the rules are anymore in relation to handball so can’t comment 🤣

Change the Handball Rule Episode 1,459
Motherwell v Celtic:
> Does the ball hit Sam Nicholson's hand? I think so
> Is Sam Nicholson making his body shape bigger? No
> Are Celtic in a Scoring Position? No, he wins the duel with another player behind him.
Why is a crowded headed clearance turned into a free shot at goal from 12-yards?!
Just turn these incidents into IDFK's and remove all the controversy, surely?!

Can We Change the Handball Rule? I feel for something as severe as a penalty, the punishment has to fit the crime: > A Deliberate Handball Offence > Blocking a Goalbound Shot (Deliberate or Not) For other offences, could we start to introduce Indirect FK's: > Crossing into Crowded Areas > Shots Going Off Target > Headers Going Away from Goal The attacking team still get some advantage and the defending team are penalised but it feels like the punishment fits the crime a little better... Thoughts?
English
@kim_jong_dong69 @SMMediaEnt I clearly do understand I’m agreeing with you I don’t think it’s a penalty.
English
@RacingClark @SMMediaEnt As I said that isn't being debated.
Objectively, it does not meet the definition of a handball as per law 12.
Why can't you understand that?
English
@kim_jong_dong69 @SMMediaEnt I don’t think it should be a penalty , the game is done if so but the handball is not subjective. It clearly does hit his hand.
English
@RacingClark @SMMediaEnt Nobody's debating the contact between ball and hand.
But it isn't an handball offence.
Not deliberate
Did not make his body unnaturally bigger
Arm position justifiable by Trustys contact not allowing it to fall.
Learn the rules.

@J_oh_n I just agreed with you that I don’t think it’s a penalty , but does it hit his hand ? So ultimately the VAR decision was right then ?
English
Worst decision EVER?
Hearts have been absolutely robbed of having one hand on the Scottish Premiership title…

Celtic were awarded a penalty following this incident x.com/jeremydokubelg…

@J_oh_n Hahaha the image I’ve shared is watermarked , clear as day it hits his hand. IMO if that’s a penalty the games done but you can’t deny it clearly hits his hand.

Forget the incident itself, look at the time.
Gone over the injury time as well.
That’s more sus for me than the decision. It’s soft, but why is the Motherwell player putting his hand up.
Funny though as Hearts fans advised me there’d be a dodgy pen.
