@paddypower Spoiler: - Foul any time Hearts go into the Celtic half - If a player is within five yards of a Celtic player in the box, it’s a penalty - Red card for any Hearts player that tries to get the ball from a Celtic player

Celtic v Hearts. Final day. Absolute cinema.

@spfl Well done - world famous for being one of the most corrupt leagues going. What a grand job you are doing.

A 99th minute winner for Celtic 🍀

@GrandAuldTeam_ @CallumBramwell He’s got a point TBF. The only people I’ve seen even arguing it are Celtic fans and a Hibs supporting mate. It’s halfway around the world already and every football fans outside of Celtic that has set eyes on it knows instantly it’s not a penalty.

@CallumBramwell Support 2 clubs you can go look for yourself you clown 🤡

Put this to bed before it grows arms and legs. There is no world where this isn’t handball

@ScotlandSky @pieandbov Disgraceful

🟢 Here's the incident that resulted in Celtic's winning penalty at Fir Park, following a VAR check! Motherwell vs Celtic & Hearts vs Falkirk reaction | Sky Sports Football now 📺

@pieandbov We play in the most corrupt, disgusting football league in the world and it’s not even close.

I’ve seen enough. If he’s given that for handball, as we are being told, then that is an absolutely SCANDALOUS decision.

@pieandbov Absolutely no reason for Hearts to turn up on Saturday. Mad that they pull this nonsense live on Sky Sports with VAR.

A suitably mental end to the night. Certainly Nicholsons hand is up there, why I don’t know. Beaton seemed very sure it was a penalty, didn’t spend too long looking at it, so I guess the slow mo will bear that out?

@pieandbov Calm. It was decided on Saturday night for us by Mr McLean.

How's the nerves holding up Jambos!!???

@afc1903mad @CWallace51_ To tag onto the end of this. Which game is bigger, the match on Saturday against Motherwell or the game in November? Which game is bigger - the game against Celtic this Saturday or the game in December?

So if we finish 2 points behind with a better GD will you be giving us the 2 points we've lost out on here Willie? Away and stick yer fucking apologies clean up your arse you corrupt little rat bastard

On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours: “On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists. Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.” It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

@30891066ID @Hoidy @pieandbov There is literally no excuse there. We've been brilliant but will get pipped at the post by a team that should be winning the league. FWIW I've been characterised by those in the real world as 'negative' because I always felt Celtic would win the league.

@SJM_38 @Hoidy @pieandbov We’ve not been that team all season we’ve been a mess on and off the park. Spring this year people had us finishing 3rd or even 4th. Your making excuses to make defeat feel easier. It would be best for everybody if Falkirk win tomorrow night and put you out your misery 😂

That is a huge blow for Hearts, and obviously both players. Halkett especially been in the form of his life this season, he will be a massive loss. Celtic obviously have missed big players for most of the season too but they have, or should have anyway, the resources and squad size to cope with that a lot better than Hearts have. Devlin hopefully fit enough and certainly more than good enough to replace Leonard but Kent a bit of a downgrade on Halkett?

@Hoidy @pieandbov @Ciaran_Marr If you are asking for my view, it's more their failure than any sort of miraculous recovery by O'Neill. O'Neill has done what would be expected by any Celtic manager in any season.

In this particular line of "trying to find a point" you can't possibly win when Hearts have more points than Celtic. Rodgers and Nancy won 7 games combined out of the 14 they managed. A 50% win rate. So again, do we give Martin O'Neill some credit for clawing back the failures of them?

@30891066ID @Hoidy @pieandbov I think we have lost it. We toe-to-toe against a club that should win every domestic game they play and we have taken it to the last day. That shouldn't happen.

@SJM_38 @Hoidy @pieandbov We’ve not beat yous all season and potentially you’ll only need a draw to win the league on Saturday. You should be buzzing but it reads like you’ve already lost it

@Hoidy @pieandbov @Ciaran_Marr You've also won more games with players injured than Hearts, right?

@SJM_38 @pieandbov @Ciaran_Marr Celtic have lost more matches than Hearts with players being injured. You've officially lost the heed.

@Hoidy @pieandbov @Ciaran_Marr Hold on - Hearts had an important player injured for 4 out of their 5 of their losses whilst Celtic have had injuries and won more matches than anyone else in the league. *Celtic* are the ones that have been derailed by injuries!?

@SJM_38 @pieandbov @Ciaran_Marr Celtic haven't coped with their injuries. If we win the league it'll be a fairytale for Martin O'Neill. It's easier to just make the statements to stop us going round in circles. If you disagree with them, you're wrong. End.

@30891066ID @Hoidy @pieandbov And we've lost out on the league title on the last day to a club that should always win every title in early Spring.

@30891066ID @Hoidy @pieandbov Is the crunch time not the run-in? Even in that, Hearts have dropped point in the split at Motherwell (not a walk in the park) and against the eventual champions in their back yard with the title on the line. We've not blown anything, we've had very good form and never collapsed

@Hoidy @pieandbov @Ciaran_Marr Your first two posts here are you saying no manager could deal with the injuries Celtic have had (false) and that the fairy tale is Celtic winning the league from the position they were in (false). Has everything you've said been a piss take because then it makes more sense?

@pieandbov @SJM_38 @Ciaran_Marr I thought the post was quite obviously a piss take. No surprise that you haven't been able to identify that though.

@Hoidy @Ciaran_Marr @pieandbov I'm trying to figure out what you are saying TBH - first it's a miracle, then it's other peoples failings, then it's a miracle again. That's just not true about Celtic in February. Anyone with a brain (and a lot of bookies) knew Celtic would come good.

@SJM_38 @Ciaran_Marr @pieandbov Are you saying that other managers losing games has helped us win a league? Nobody cares about what the situation was like in August. In February no one had Celtic winning the league. As the season goes on, objectives change.

@Hoidy @Ciaran_Marr @pieandbov So you were wrong when you said it was other people's failings? The reality is Celtic won a league title with a situation that every manager in the league would bite your hand of for if given it in August.

@SJM_38 @Ciaran_Marr @pieandbov If Celtic win the league then it'll be a miraculous achievement by Saint Martin. To have his best players out, and claw back 14+ points on the league leaders who've been there since pretty much MD 7. Incredible really.

@Hoidy @Ciaran_Marr @pieandbov Okay - yes, it is a one horse race.

@SJM_38 @Ciaran_Marr @pieandbov The context was everything that came before the question. Your answer is just you trying to explain yourself out of making an arse of it.
