Rangers fans, Hearts fans & pundits are now calling this a disgrace. Yet these are the same people who helped whip up the hysteria in the first place against a guy who was simply doing his fucking job. Absolute clowns, man. 🤡

@ETimsNet Is this you and your fans?

“John Beaton & his family spent last night at home under police surveillance following a leak of personal details online. This is the consequence of a hysterical media narrative, fuelled by irresponsible knee-jerk post-match interviews”. Boyd & McInnes have a lot to answer for.

Well at least that’s one thing all football fans can agree on.

@jordanpbanks This is where we have been with your mob

We are now in a situation were Don Robertson and his officials are going into a game tomorrow knowing that if they make any major decision in Celtics favour, no matter how blatantly correct it is, their family, their childrens safety will be at risk. This is where are are now.

@aboutceltic Is this your club and your fans?

It’s a shame that it has come to this. An onslaught from Scotland & beyond because the Hearts fairytale was damaged with an obvious handball. I wouldn’t imagine he got flowers & chocolates through the post from failing to give Maeda a penalty? 🤔💭

@The3rdFrame @chris_sutton73 @JamieBrysonLLB @GaryLineker @Sjopinion10 @talkSPORT @SkySports @ScottishFA @spfl @PoliceScotland Any comments on these incidents?

@chris_sutton73 It is bad as is the over reaction by people like; #McCoist @JamieBrysonLLB @GaryLineker #Derek McInnes #Jason Cundy #HeartsFoundation @Sjopinion10 @talkSPORT @SkySports And all the others has been an absolute disgrace. Shame on them! @ScottishFA @spfl @PoliceScotland

This is truly awful…

@brianplasterer @chris_sutton73

@chris_sutton73 Yes @chris_sutton73 it is and certain people in the media should lose their jobs for it and face criminal charges

Two things: - the likes of Derek McInnes & Kris Boyd should be fuckin ashamed at how they fuelled this. McInnes should be subject to formal action - the replies are exactly what you'd expect. People's opinions are based wholly on which team they support.

@ScottishFA Fuck the SFA

Scottish FA statement.

@bamyama67 @ScottishFA @EwenDCameron Derek McKiness 😂😂😂😂😂 The schools in the west of Scotland are something else.

@ScottishFA Derek McKiness Kris Boyd Paul Hartley John Robertson @EwenDCameron Should be fucking ashamed and banned from every ground in the land

@teels64 @henrywinter At this point. All the people who want the Celtic to win continue just see what they want.

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.

@hargi_ 😂😂 makes it even more clearer that it doesn’t hit his hand and he headers the ball away.

From CelticTV’s unique angle. Even more proof. Please keep crying, though, cos this is amazing 🤣

As the world of football mocks our game, we simply have to draw a line in the sand and shift the focus. With the dust settling, we take pride in our display and push one final time on Saturday 👊

@GoFootballShow Mulgrew is a bitter wee tarrier bastard. They’re all the same.

🗣"Welcome to wanting to win a title, Del! Nobody is against you, or cheating you" Charlie Mulgrew disagrees with Hearts manager Derek McInness post match comments saying "everyone is against them" Who do you think will win the title on Saturday?

@dylan67 @citizentommy A push, an elbow, a hand ball, make up your mind ffs. Yous were always getting the decision regardless.

@citizentommy Or the 2 handed push

A stonewall penalty. Ranting about a non-existent red card on Saturday and yet Hartley sits there and joins in the blue nose blindness. He should hang his head in shame. Saint Martin was right. The penalty could have been awarded for hand ball or foul play with his elbow. Bring on Saturday 🙏👏👏👏👏🍀

@enda_coll That’s exactly the response I’d expect from someone from Donegal in the Republic of Ireland

It was a harsh decision that could’ve gone either way. He hands it, so it’s a handball. It’s also true that you don’t want those given in football. But the reaction to the call is wild. The worst VAR decision ever?? Beyond hyperbole.

@martinez_j7902 @chris_sutton73 The Zionist establishment. Fuck up you fucking arsehole. Fuck all to do with anything apart from blatant cheating on the Scottish officials. Keep your political agenda away from sport you prick.

@chris_sutton73 The penalty is very clear: handball and elbow to the opponent's face. The debate is only happening because a team that isn't part of the Zionist establishment won the match and probably the league.

It’s what VAR is there for…

@citizentommy Fuck off tommy ya rabid terrorist supporting cunt that you are.

Try this angle Gary. There was a clear elbow into the neck of our player Trusty that could have constituted a penalty but the high hand is absolutely indisputable and the ball hits that high hand. Whether in the first minute or last minute that is a penalty. Hand is in an unnatural position 👌
