    Not everyone, I wouldn't.

    Have to admit after today I have no confidence I know the handball rule at all as today's call is bonkers as far as I'm concerned.

    It's only bonkers if you wear a Celtic jersey and I thought I seen it all at tyncastle with the stonewall handball and today it's a * disgrace that a ball is behind you and you don't know where the ball is and hits your hand when jumping .
    It's also suspicious and dodgy as * that the same official was involved nick Walsh who didn't give us the handball decision against hearts but called the ref today for that joke of a decision and needs banned from our games .

    The Dier one that caused the uproar absolutely * me over. I had a bet on that there would be 200+ penalties in the EPL that season. Bet was worth over 5k and it was looking very decent until they changed the rule after that incident.

    Disgusting decisions yet again yesterday.

    The fact that Walsh had the guts to award that penalty on VAR yesterday and not the one he was looking straight at during the Hearts game speaks volumes.

    Also Giakoumakis being studded in his stomach and nothing given is also disgraceful.

    The powers that be know exactly what they are trying to do, as does the whole of Scottish football and Media.

    What really gets me is the huns actually seem to think that these decisions are correct and that VAR is working. :56:

    Easy to say that when its your own guys working thr VAR.

    We've been battling vs 12 every game we play for years so it's nothing new to us.

    Get it up yeez hun wanks!!!

    Marvin Bartley is an absolute *. His analysis on Sportscene was laughable. Not to mention his manager said on BBC that it wasn't a penalty.

    If the balls going towards the net and a hand stops it I'd say penalty everytime.

    If studs are up in your chest I'd say red everytime.


    Only one was called and it was against us. Corrupt.

    The ball wasn't heading towards the net until it hit Bernabei though, and under the current handball rules in Scotland, if the ball strikes the player on the arm through a consequence of his movement during a jump or such, it is NOT deemed a deliberate action and is NOT a penalty.

    It was only given as a penalty yesterday simply because the hun * on VAR saw an opportunity yet again to hinder one team and one team only.

    That challenge on Giakoumakis is * assault

    We will only get correct VAR decisions when the game is already won, and this will only be because the wanks using it Know that they can't hide it and have to show that they are "fair and impartial"

    If that hit another teams arm we would be calling for it and saying the refs cheat for not giving it just like the hearts game. So I can see why it was given. Again so far the only team in Scotland to be denied a handball penalty since VAR came in is celtic. No shock there.

    The assault makes no sense to me. Red all day.

    And we were imo only given the pen last weekend as we were not given a stonewaller against Hearts. And that was because we were winning 2-0 at the time.

    We've had that * Walsh invilved in 2 of our 3 games involving VAR, speaks volumes.

    I genuinely think they did the "check for the red card" as a posturing act. I actually don't think it was a red though he doesn't actually make the contact and he could have if he was wanting to(brutal contact with studs). I think it was an accident, an accident that should have been a booking and a FK from the place it took place right enough though.

    So a karate kick to the chest is not only not a red card, the ref doesn’t even see it as a foul.

    He was obviously a member of cobra kai and knows only miyagi do crane kick can count as a knock out blow.

    Aye I agree with this. Every other decision is open to interpretation, and we’ve seen how that goes.

    From a betting point of view overs in a Celtic game is pretty much a gimme at the minute with these DOBs giving the opposition one or two pens every week.

    In the three games since VAR came in our games are averaging 5.33 goals a game.

    Still 8-13 on Wednesday.

    I'd understand why it wasn't given if it hit an opposition player arm but it was one of 2 BIG decisions that went against us. I could maybe let the Sibbald kick go if a yellow and a freekick were given but he let's it go.

    What really annoys me about VAR is that it is being brought in for clear and obvious errors. It was designed to be used in a minimal way for maximum effect. If you need to see an incident for 3 minutes from 5 different angles that is not clear and obvious. I absolutely hate it. For me it is destroying football.
