@Forever15AMF Wish you all the best, mate.

Tomorrow Hearts could clinch our first league title in 66 years. No matter the result, the emptiness never leaves — but I know he’ll be there with me tomorrow. Come on the Hearts 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻

@Kingogcod_1 @BladeoftheS So they killed more Jews in one day than the IRA killed throughout the troubles with rocks? When they released the hostages through all their displays they were carrying rocks? The tunnels contained rocks?

@Kingogcod_1 @BladeoftheS The Allies killed more Germans but it didn’t make it a genocide.

Gary Lineker

@patjohnburke @Blackpoolfc0702 If Hearts get a last minute off-side goal to draw, then that’s ok because they’ve been top for more weeks than anybody else and the title is won over the season? I hope it happens.

@Blackpoolfc0702 So a league is not won over the course of a season. Ok 👍

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

@patjohnburke @EwenDCameron @shebahn @chris_sutton73 What absolute bollocks!

@SG6712 @DaveMForrester @jhnmcgnly Not like that!

@DaveMForrester @jhnmcgnly How does volleyball work then?

🤓 Reflections on last night's Celtic penalty. I'm not trying to convince anyone, really, more laying out an alternative viewpoint amongst what I consider to be pretty absurd hysteria. There are also some mistruths about the VAR process being portrayed as neutral objectivity that I think deserve to be challenged. Does the ball hit his arm? For me, the footage shows this. Is his arm in an unnatural position and making his body bigger? It's above shoulder height and in front of his head. The ball strikes his arm before his head. Personally, I don't feel his arm being there is justified by his body movement. Intent is irrelevant. Is it a clear and obvious error? There's a popular misconception there has to have been a 'clear and obvious error' for VAR to recommend a VAR review. Per the IFAB guidance, this is not true. A referee can also be called to the monitor if they communicate to the VAR that they haven't seen or made a decision on an incident VAR has flagged as a potential penalty. This is called a 'serious missed incident'. I think, until the audio is released, it's reasonable to assume John Beaton did not rule on whether it was a handball or not before the review, so 'clear and obvious error' would not apply. He didn't have to make a decision on allowing play to continue because the ball almost immediately went out of play and he was told to delay. It's fair to surmise that Dallas' only role was flagging to Beaton there was a potential handball, not suggesting he had made a grave error. IFAB guidance also makes clear that for subjective decisions, including handball considerations, a pitchside review is appropriate. Beaton approached the monitor and made a decision on the evidence available to him. Taking all of this into consideration, even if you feel it wasn't a penalty, I am struggling to comprehend the outrage as if this were either the most corrupt decision in the history of Scottish football or the 'worst VAR decision' in history. I feel there's been a lack of balance or relevant knowledge on broadcasts. I think mainstream pundits suggesting there is a pattern of assistance for Celtic in this title race is hysterical nonsense that is ordinarily mocked by most in less tense times. For the record, and I know this goes against many Celtic fans, I don't believe any club feels the benefit of biased refereeing. I think referees in this country are generally poor and lack consistency and I think the version of VAR that we have in Scottish football is fundamentally flawed because of cheap infrastructure. Going back to the penalty itself, the biggest point of contention would be on the concept of his body being 'unnaturally bigger'. In this case I feel the decision could really go either way depending on the viewpoint of the referee. I don't think it's massively egregious to say it is a penalty. It can be 'harsh', 'unlucky' and 'soft' and still be a reasonable conclusion for the referee to award a penalty. Or at least be reasonable enough not to suggest it is a 'worldwide' embarrassment and/or cheating. I'm not entirely ignorant of my own bias. I fully understand it's easier to go 'well, what's the big deal here?' when the decision goes in favour of the team you support and professionally cover. It's going to generate noise, I get that. Yet, there's something uneasy about the fervour with which this is being labelled as objectively a 'disgusting' crime against Hearts and their title bid. Celtic have earned 19 points with goals scored after the 80th minute this season. They're finding a way. It might be enough. Rage on!

@davidmcgonigle @DaveMForrester @jhnmcgnly He intends to head it. If it comes off his head first it’s not a pen. His hand is in front of his head, not his face so protection can’t be used. The Celtic players body pushes his hand towards the ball. It not a penalty.

@DaveMForrester @jhnmcgnly No one is saying it doesn’t hit his head as well as his hand. I don’t get this argument.

@Dannybhoy59 @DaveMForrester @jhnmcgnly Jee whizz man. Even that ref last night could see that he didn’t have his fist clenched.

@DaveMForrester @jhnmcgnly Have you never seen a keeper punch the ball away with his fist?

@glasgowbroker @Love_street86 Completely agree

@Love_street86 whither this comes off his head or hand, is for debate. However, given that it is the movement of the Celtic player's body which moves Motherwells player towards his head, means there is no 'hand ball'. Just my view.

Sky sports pundits have influenced people’s (Gary linekar etc…) point of view with their constant same view replay and Kris Boyd’s comments. Slow motions like this and photos no doubt from other angles,that will probably come out today, show it clearly hits his hand=penalty.

@floboflo @The_Forty_Four His hand is in front of his own head. Why would he handle it deliberately when he would have headed it anyway

@floboflo @The_Forty_Four He jumps with his arms in a natural position and the attackers jump pushes his arm towards the ball.

CORRUPTION IN SCOTLAND❌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 CELTIC HAVE JUST BEEN GIVEN A PENALTY IN THE 93RD MINUTE FOR THIS?!😡🤬 Heartbreaking for Hearts💔 x.com/jeremydokubelg…

@The_Forty_Four Not even the players are appealing. Shocking!!

@The_Forty_Four It should be there year but a penalty decision like that means it’s not allowed to be. If that penalty is awarded the other way round there would be hell to pay.

HEARTS LEAD 2-0 🤯🤯🤯 THIS IS THEIR YEAR👏👏👏 THEY NEED CELTIC TO STAY LOSING TO WIN THE SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE TONIGHT🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏆😍

@StokeyyG2 Can’t believe that they gave a penalty there. Never would have been the other way round.

The moment Hearts fans found out Celtic had gone a goal DOWN to Motherwell…👀

@biteyourlegs @FootballInT80s @IPLENDY65 Agreed. Would love them to cut games elsewhere to bring them back.

@FootballInT80s @IPLENDY65 I loved the home internationals. The climax being the England/Scotland fixture.

Who is old enough to remember the Home Nations Championships? Ninian Park, 13th May 1978 and Wales and England are heading for a 1-1 draw until two pieces of skill decide it for the away side. Great strikes from Tony Currie and Peter Barnes make it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 1-3 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@timetoshine1234 @parkcommunicate As an avid pro Euro I have never voted reform. However, even though I voted remain I knew that those who voted to leave had to be heard. Those things above may be true but if nothing significant is done about immigration people will still vote reform.

Nigel Farage government. We get: Putin. No NHS. Heath poverty. Crashed economy. No workers rights. No maternity pay. No sick pay. No holiday pay. No right to strike. ICE fascists. We ALL lose. Nigel Farage is a grave dangerous to our democracy and national security.

@psmi3274 @pmak27 You’ve had a mare there!

@pmak27 Got to beat hull at Wembley first though.

If Boro can win tomorrow it means a Northern club comes into the Prem replacing a London Club. What’s not to like??

@hashjenni @sandcam55 It’s not Gaza’s geography that is the problem. Jordan borders Israel, which is the problem you’re suggesting, but doesn’t commit a genocide against Israel and therefore has no problem.

Don’t ever forget: the ONLY difference between you and the people of Gaza is geographic luck. Nothing else.

@NealyNagyblu @FergusMason25 @unojen_wood This ‘greater Israel’ is another lie. Israel has gained plenty of land in wars that it has always given back for peace. If other countries left Israel alone it would not go beyond its borders.

@FergusMason25 @unojen_wood IDF wearing patches showing Lebanon as part of Greater Israel make blaming Hezbollah absurd. Invading Lebanon was always the plan. #Lebanon

If France popped over to the UK & decided that from Kent to the Thames was now a 'buffer zone', put their solders on the ground & started blowng up the area while demanding the inhabitants move that would be called a military invasion & self defence would be put into play.
