@IbroxBoy_1 £1.5m for McGinn is not derisory, in my opinion. He’d struggle to get into this Celtic team.

@Indy2TheReturn @AberdeenFC Remember to pick up your trophy for highest possession stats…. Meanwhile…

@RedHighlander83 @AberdeenFC Surely the one you finished in the play off spot was worse or even perhaps the one where you got fucked out the Cup by Darvel or..... Fuck it there are so many to choose from.

@JamesMaltman2 @AberdeenFC I was going when Miller was in charge
Be interesting to see just how bad we were compared with last few seasons
Miller was terrible because it followed on from a successful period - but was he worse than this shite??
At least then we had Jess n Windass

@RedHighlander83 @AberdeenFC You think that was bad try mid 90s and 2000 under alex Miller etc

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.

The refs verdicts are in:
“Bobby Madden, was that a penalty?”.
“No”.
“Steve Conroy, was that a penalty?”.
“No”.
Both damning on the decision, calling for an explanation from the SFA.
Their verdicts, not mine.

Going on air on @BBCRadioScot in 15 mins. Yes, yes we will be talking about that penalty. Quite a lot, I think. Former grade 1 referee Bobby Madden will be summoned to deliver a verdict at 07.15… we’ll take it from there.

New angle for the #Celtic ‘PENALTY’
Never a penalty for me
Trusty pushes Henderson’s arm upwards - but the clean ball contact is still with the head

@ScotlandSky The ball hitting his hand does not mean it’s ‘handball’
It’s only handball if it’s deliberate or in unnatural position unnatural
Wasn’t deliberate and not

This might be the worst VAR decision I’ve seen (and there’s a lot of competition). Extraordinary given the significance.
