@Pbp19Philip @RJKH51 @DPJHodges Exactly

@RJKH51 @DPJHodges @bluediamond62 Celtic fans protesting a bit too much I think. Some insecurity there. Match should clearly be awarded to Hearts due to pitch invasion by home fans. No neutral (I am neutral) will ever accept this as Celtic’s title.

This whole debate is utterly ridiculous now. Celtic v Hearts was prematurely abandoned because of a pitch invasion that put player safety at risk. The evidence is indisputable. If people want to then have a separate debate about appropriate sanctions, fine.

John Beaton was intimidated after years of Celtic abuse He made the ridiculous decision based on fear for his well being You see a pattern forming here Abuse and intimidation just have to look at the pitch invasion to see who's guilty

No custodial sentence for a gang rape is sickening. The judge even praises the boys involved. This cannot be allowed to stand

Sky News forgot to mention that they are all Afghan illegal immigrants A bit of honesty about what’s happening would help Hiding the truth is how the mainly Pakistani-origin grooming gang scandal was covered up for so long

Three key points. Willie Collum's position is now untenable. John Beaton's reputation will forever be tarnished despite the fact he made the correct decision initially. Andrew McKinlay, the Hearts chief executive, has to resign from his role as SFA vice-president.

@daveatherton @freddiemac1 Sharia Court, simple as that. Savages should be in jail

It needs confirmation, but 3 South Asian, possibly Muslims ☪️ were on the jury. There's a concept in Islam called the Ummah where a Muslim's first duty is to Islam and other Muslims, not the law of the land they live in. If true, we're in trouble.

@TheRefsView @esta_x4 You have to wonder what could possibly be influencing his decision making 🤔🇻🇦

So Willie Collum backing John Beaton to award penalty after only 17 sec review on advice of Andrew Dallas to award penalty to Celtic v Motherwell has been adjudged to be wrong by KMI. The WORLD knew it was wrong. What an awful look for Collum & shows Dallas has too much influence

@GrahamSpiers Scottish game is in disrepute less than a month before World Cup. The minute there's a VAR intervention which can favour Celtic the outcome is a guaranteed affirmative because referees live in fear. It's decision making influenced by intimidation

@GersnetOnline Scottish game is in disrepute less than a month before World Cup. The minute there's a VAR intervention which can favour Celtic the outcome is a guaranteed affirmative because referees live in fear as I've said above. It's decision making influenced by intimidation

Given the sheer number of errors we see on a weekly basis, it was inevitable VAR would be a deciding factor in who won the title. Collum should of course resign but this incompetence reaches much higher up the tree. Indeed, Scottish football needs root and branch change.

Jens Askou, brilliant interview from a brilliant manager, thought he had seen it all. Didn't realise the open corruption in Scottish football as the refs 'hand' Celtic the title. Good luck in Tolouse.

My thoughts on the @EHRC guidance laid yesterday; this is not about non-existent "rights". It is about the safety of women - mothers, sisters, wives, daughters. We men need to hear their voices. Virginia Woolf : "Though we see the same world, we see it through different eyes". My intro on @TimesRadio yesterday: Where I live there are two different routes to and from the tube station. One, let’s call it Acacia Avenue, is quiet and residential. The other, London Road, is a busy major route with lots of traffic. At all times of the day, I automatically head for Acacia Road. It’s just much nicer. The women in my family, on the other hand, will never willingly make that walk after dark. They live with an anxiety that most men find it hard to imagine, and frankly, rarely think about unprompted. Last year 739,000 women were sexually assaulted in Britain. Virtually all such assaults - nine out of ten - are perpetrated by men. One in four women have been attacked at some time in their lives. Acacia Avenue is exactly the sort of place in which most women fear that they become vulnerable, and they are right. As the author Virginia Woolf once wrote " Though we see the same world, we see it through different eyes". I think this is the right context in which to understand the furore over the guidance being laid today by the government, over the meaning of the words man and woman when it comes to providing services and facilities in workplaces. Many men think this is about a rather arcane dispute about who gets to use what loo. For their mothers, sisters, wives and daughters, it isn’t. In a previous life, as Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, I had a hand in writing this country’s equality laws, in particular the 2010 Equality Act. It never occurred to any of us that there could be any confusion or dispute over the meaning of the words man and woman. But it has taken a decade of campaigning, a Supreme Court judgement and now hundreds of pages of guidance to settle the issue. This is not about so called trans rights, which are completely unaffected by this guidance, since no-one has ever had the right to walk into a changing room reserved for teenage girls. What it does mean is that women and girls are guaranteed the protection they deserve, and that their safety, which we spent half a decade drafting law to ensure, is protected. But the whole business illuminates some serious issues in our politics. First that many of our institutions, in spite of the fact that they always knew what the right thing to do was, decided to ignore the fears of their women customers and employees, under pressure from noisy pressure groups. Instead, the people who were supposed to be the grown ups behaved as though the law said what campaigners wanted it to say, rather than what it actually said. They settled for what they hoped would be a quiet life. In a democracy, there’s little point in Parliament deciding anything if the law is then made an ass by activists intimidating bosses in companies, schools, universities and the media into doing something different. Second, at the heart of the campaign to undermine the Equality Act is an idea that we specifically rejected in 2010, so called self-identification. That is to say, that it should be up to the individual to decide whether they have what’s called a protected characteristic - are you male or female, are you black or white. The problem is that self-ID would destroy the operation of any law against discrimination. Look, it would almost certainly have been to my advantage as a young man to self-identify as a handsome, white public schoolboy. None of those things is true of me. And at various points I am pretty sure it’s been to my disadvantage. It is certainly statistically likely to have been to my disadvantage. But according to the logic of those who say that self-ID should be the rule and that anyone should be able to decide for themselves whether they are male or female, black or white or Asian, were I to complain about racial discrimination, it would be difficult for anyone prove that I’d been discriminated against because of my race since anybody to whom I’d lost out could just tell the courts that they too were black. I know that sounds like Alice in Wonderland but you can google the case where a chap, both of whose parents are white, insisted he should get money from the Arts Council because he so identified with the black struggle that he considered himself black, and everyone should accept his point of view. In the United States and Brazil exactly such outlandish claims have been made and people rewarded to the disadvantage of people actually born into minority families. I have even been told about firms who, when reporting their gender pay gaps have put men who just happen to like wearing dresses at weekends - nothing wrong with that, let me be clear - into the female column and told their women employees that they really haven’t got anything to moan about because statistically they are paid equally, and they should get back in their box. So today’s guidance isn’t just another tiresome chapter in culture wars. It is , I hope, a halt to the efforts to undermine one of the most important pieces of legislation on the statute book, by people who, for their own reasons, would prefer us to be living in the 1950s world of Mad Men.

Adding VAT to education but making clown show visits cheaper. The very epitome of this government’s front bench - no clue, a massive joke.

They don’t care because Henry Nowak is white. It is that simple. It is the only thing that can explain the total silence in Westminster.

@WRNScotland @DalgetySusan @ScotParl @scotgov Bulldozer required. Preferably with most of the freeloading twats still in it

Yesterday @DalgetySusan you could find out how many female, male and non binary MSPs there were in the current session of the Scottish Parliament. Today that option has been removed. Why is that @ScotParl @scotgov? Would you rather eliminate everyone's sex rather than acknowledge reality

@Fyrishsunset @flygirlie30 Goon Show

“Greatest honour” of Gilruth’s life? It’s pretty surreal for us too, luv. Top-drawer promotion after being Education Secretary when violent attacks on school staff top 35,000 incidents per year. Surreal indeed …

#OTD 22-May-2005, @RangersFC defeated Hibs 1-0 in the League MatchDay 38 at Easter Road. Goalscorer was Novo 59. Crowd was 17,450 Helicopter Sunday!

French police are now refusing to tackle boats leaving their shores because ARMED MEN are guarding them. This is a military-style operation against us so it’s time to use the military against them. There cannot be any more excuses.

@RangersBanter17 @freddiemac1 Desperate Entity

A Celtic fan ran on to the pitch and called Cammy Devlin an Orange B and he doesn't think there's anything wrong with that? Change the Orange for a word beginning with F and he'd be saying something different.
