@CraigB_1986 Nothing and I feel that it shouldn’t be presented as the “clearest evidence”, it’s disingenuous

@SMMediaEnt What difference does it make? I mean, I’ve no idea WHY they’ve done it, but it doesn’t actually change what it shows.

Let’s ignore the fact that they’ve just reversed the angle.

Rangers have submitted a seven-figure bill to Celtic for damage that was caused to Ibrox during the controversial Scottish Cup clash in March. It is expected that the SFA are already involved with Celtic refusing to meet the terms of the bill. @RangersReview55

@EwenDCameron Yes but this angle is just reversed and doesn’t mean anything

@SMMediaEnt It’s a clear header

@EwenDCameron Proves nothing Ewen, I think it was the wrong call to award a penalty but this doesn’t prove it.

@SMMediaEnt Nobody ignored it 🤭

The SFA are expected to support John Beaton’s decision to award the injury-time penalty for Celtic in last night’s victory over Motherwell. Willie Collum will address the controversial incident but not until his latest VAR Review show, which is expected to air next week.

I don’t think that Tavernier or Danny Rohl have covered themselves in glory here, sad end to his Rangers career. The big issue for Rangers here is that it just looks very amateur and it’s been a common theme for several years. Until they sort out the high school stuff, they will remain where they are.

Will we just ignore the fact that there's two balls, there's an English Premier League badge and the fact that the two people on this shot aren't Sam Nicholson or Auston Trusty? Other than that, I'd say it's pretty conclusive.

@crumy82 No

@SMMediaEnt Take away whether you feel it was long enough or not, did the refs get to the correct decision ?

17 seconds is not long enough for the referee to be at the monitor with one angle to make a decision that is so contentious as we have seen all night and morning so far. We aren’t operating a fully functioning VAR system but the head of refereeing is saying it’s not watered down, we are being made to feel like fools by fools.

@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

@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.

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.

@RacingClark You first use an image that was artificially made up so I don’t think you can use anything

@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.

@RacingClark Facial reaction and body movements are exactly the same in this photo, think you’ve been using the same software as Tommy Sheridan

@Getback617 Sky commentary said there is an issue with communication during the process

@SMMediaEnt The audio wasn't working correctly?

@SPFLpyramid 17 seconds is not long enough for a decisions that is so contentious as we have seen all night and morning so far. We aren’t operating a fully functioning VAR system but the head of refereeing is saying it’s not watered down, we are being made to feel like fools by fools

@SMMediaEnt 100% Also how anyone from an English Premier League persuasion can argue after the Arsenal v West Ham Utd incident is beyond me. I think it points to we need full VAR, but also would any angle on full VAR make it any clearer.

@MTMclothing_ It wasn’t, as long as foot is on the line then it’s fine
