@smithy1893 Thought the same when I saw it. Hopefully it's a post editing filter cos that's definitely not a Dundee Dark Blue

Hope it's darker blue than it looks... 😬

@EwenDCameron @marknelsoncomic We'll draw against Haiti...and tournament be over 1st game. Pumped fae Morocco Pumped fae Brazil Happy to be proved wrong. My "minimum expectancy" is way lower than yours

@TraynorTM @marknelsoncomic Only points versus Haiti You think we’re getting something v Brazil and Morocco?

On a footballing level yes McBurnie should be going to the World Cup. He has been left out for other reasons. Time will tell if it was a mistake or not.

@EwenDCameron @marknelsoncomic Haha you've genuinely lost the plot Give me your predictions for Scotland's group games. I'm interested to see where you think we're getting points to get your "minimum" expectancy (And so I can bookmark it)

@TraynorTM @marknelsoncomic ‘Unexpected?’ You for real? That’s a minimum It has never been easier to get out the group stages.

@EwenDCameron @marknelsoncomic Work in what way? What as Scotland fans are we expecting other than a party? We hoping for last 32? Wouldn't matter what players were picked, reaching that would be unexpected - and a bonus if we did... just to then be spanked anyway.

@marknelsoncomic McBurnie has been great this season and in the same league as Dykes who has been shite. Time will tell if Clarke’s strategy of picking his favourites will work. Tuchel, on the other hand, went with form and left out big, big players. Time will tell if his strategy will work.

@daviegraham9 I don't mean it disrespectfully, if you're family etc. just my opinion. If he makes it to the top, then as a fellow dark blue, I'll be over the moon for him! Just used to Dundee hyped players careers fizzle oot. As I say happy to eat my words

@daviegraham9 @kintoredon @DensParkChoir Aye...not sure if you're aware but one no bad season doesn't make you an experienced pro Bookmark it...the hype will fizzle Happy to be proved wrong

Ross McCrorie should be there ahead of Tony Ralston. I hate Scott Bain but he should be there ahead of Liam Kelly. Luke Graham and/or Stephen Welsh should be there ahead of Grant Hanley. Harry Milne deserves a space in that squad too imo.

@kintoredon @DensParkChoir Not Luke Graham though ... completely unproven even at SPL level never mind world cup elite level! 😂😭

@DensParkChoir @TraynorTM Based on what I’ve seen of Hanley this season, there are numerous players who should have his place!

@StanCollymore VARs going nowhere, but I actually do think if it was removed, I think fans and players would instantly respect referees more than they do now from having experienced life with VAR

VAR I enthusiastically welcomed it. Was sold on the higher percentage of right decisions so we could all go home knowing football justice had been done and we could concentrate on which player was crap instead. But I was wrong. Woefully and completely wrong. Waiting 5 minutes for a decision to be made alone means the system isn't fit for purpose. Why? Because I sat with TV producers who said everything would be wrapped up in 10-30 seconds. It has literally taken the spontaneous joy from the most important part of the game. A goal. Then, one thing completely blindsided me and many others. Subjectivity. I thought there would be science and a nailed on guarantee of a successfully and universally accepted decision. How wrong we were. Instead, arbitrary lines are drawn that simply can't with any certainty say whether a player is offside or not. So a human in a portacabin, 200 miles away only does what the referee can do, make a best guess. Likewise handballs, dives, any penalty decision to be honest. A subjective decision decided out of stadium allowing an increasingly small and poor refereeing pool a get out of jail free card. Instead of them making a shit decision and owning it, they just pass it on 200 miles away so 3 men in a portacabin can make a shit decision instead. Lunacy. For the love of the game, let's go back to investing in getting more referees, respecting them so that they join the trade and don't feel constantly abused. In short, treat them like rugby referees. Ultimate respect. Then, fuck VAR off, it's ruined the game, made it petty and chaotic, and taken that one ingredient that you simply can't replace, instantaneous joy. As a player and fan I accepted a referee making a bad decision in a game in the same way I accepted fucking up a shot or pass. We're all human. Let's get back to that, humans doing their best, everyone walks away from the ground accepting that and less unrealistic pressure put on officials to be perfect when perfection doesn't exist in any walk of life. VAR stinks. A system designed to help is a massive hindrance and it's about time pundits, fans, players, referees, clubs put pressure on authorities to get rid of it. We only need goal line tech, the rest can and should be refer refereed by humans making their best judgement. A best judgement that was over 98% right( audited fact pre VAR). Enough is enough, fuck it off.

Haha he wasn't going to say anything else was he 😂😂

@DiscePuer @robbiepender @DPJHodges Appears so. Even Martin O'Neill's post match presser he says that he asked the 4th official after they scored and he said there was a minute left. Next thing he's being told it's over by the AR at the tunnel. So ref definitely didn't blow full time.

@TraynorTM @robbiepender @DPJHodges So the police called time?

So on Celtic v Hearts. Serious point. When Celtic's third goal goes in there are clearly 30 seconds of the match remaining. So the game has to restart. But it didn't. The game had to be abandoned because of the actions of the Celtic fans. Hearts players were assaulted. So in any normal circumstances surely that would mean the awarding of a 3-0 win to Hearts.

Not too shabby for a jobby

Said it earlier, it's Celtic right now, but it's been Rangers before and it's always been this way and will never change. Scottish football favours the OF Corrupt to the core x.com/i/status/20556…

@robbiepender @DPJHodges Were you in his pocket like? Looked to me like Don was standing at the tunnel intending to finish the game and waiting to be instructed by the police, which I assume they told him to just call it. He wouldn't have stood at the tunnel otherwise

@DPJHodges There is no can’t, he did! I’m not disputing that play should have restarted but the referee ended it, he didn’t abandon it and it’s a big difference.

Absolutely nae chance this would be implemented 🤷‍♂️ but he's right, what's the point in rules if you don't

Nancy deserves his medal. He contributed to this season

@JamieBrysonLLB Best thing to do would be delete this... clearly know HEE-HAW about offside

Why is ANYONE surprised? Just how many people are actually involved in the most obvious conspiracy in plain sight? There must be a full investigation to see for example how Celtic bought the officials?

From the fixtures announced at the split, to the penalty award to take it to the last day...it was set up for Celtic to win it Celtic are the powerhouse ATM but if it were Rangers it would be the exact same Been corrupt for decades and always will be

Wilfried Nancy's title

If Hearts do win this, I reckon there'll be a lot of Celtic fans hang around to congratulate them... Let's see will we...👀
