SPFL Celtic 3 - 2 The Uglies

Not ideal but we still have enough. Levels the playing field a bit more that’s for sure but not a disaster. Iwata looks very composed and we know O’Riley can do it, he’s just been going through a bad patch.

 

Wasn't McGregor not shown in anything before the 3-0 game last February?

I don't know who is fit or not. Ange keeps all that under wraps, like he should.

We'll find out the same time as Beale does.

 

That really was a great * goal by Bernabei, was it not ! One out of the Hatate play book ! The fans behind the goal went nuts, exploded in celebration ! I want to see that happen again.

 

I wish you all a most Happy Easter weekend with your family and loved ones. Stay safe on the roads and all things in moderation.

 

And you too m8

 

It's Thursday, not Friday.

 

Ange let’s them have it a day early

 

Andy Walker bombshell sees SFA threaten to pull Sky's VAR access amid ref fury and Ian Maxwell talks
Hampden chiefs believe Walker has misinterpreted the dialogue but referees are understood to be furious.

The SFA are threatening to pull the plug on Sky’s VAR access after pundit Andy Walker’s bombshell claims ahead of the Old Firm showdown.

Record Sport understands Hampden chief Ian Maxwell is set for talks with the broadcasters following explosive accusations of a VAR carve-up by officials from the former Celtic striker. Sky pundits are allowed to listen into discussions from the VAR centre at Clydesdale House when assistants hit the big red button to alert whistlers in a bid to give viewers a clearer picture of how decisions are reached with the on-field officials.

It is understood the SFA have no issue with the wording from the VAR camp – as offside calls are no longer open to interpretation due to the use of Hawkeye technology. Walker lit the fuse when – speaking to NewsSlotsKlosh – he said: “Working with Sky I have the option of listening to VAR.

“To be absolutely clear I hear the video assistant referee – not the referee on the pitch. I have a concern. I won’t mention any names and I won’t name the teams involved but there was an instance where a couple of things happened in the space of a second or two.

“And I heard the VAR say ‘the easiest way out of this, is if it’s offside’. That to me is really poor language. There should be no idea that we get an easy way out. You have to look at what’s happening on the pitch and apply the laws of the game – don’t look for the easy way out.

“That’s not good enough. It’s awful. I couldn’t believe what I was listening to. I’m not going to mention any names and I’m not going to mention the game. But that kind of language makes me feel that the people operating VAR are obviously not feeling the atmosphere because they are not at the ground.

“Referees now have this safety net ‘it doesn’t matter what I say or do’ someone else will tell me if I’ve got it right or I’ve got it wrong and that example I have given? That can’t be right.”

Hampden chiefs believe Walker has misinterpreted the dialogue but referees are understood to be furious at the perceived breach of trust by revealing the discussions held by officials behind the scenes. Talks will be needed to smooth over the rift but the fallout is the latest in a serious of flashpoints since VAR was rolled out just before the World Cup last November.

SFA chief Maxwell insisted this week the technology was working ‘fine’ but admitted to some early teething problems as officials got used to the new way of working. A succession of Premiership bosses and pundits have been critical of a number of high profile calls this season, while Record Sport columnist Chris Sutton even calling for the technology to be shut down until officials were competent enough to use it.

The SFA have been fighting fires on the issue but insist the percentage of correct decisions made since the system was rolled out has substantially risen.

 

That'll be a world record

 

Where would be the best place to watch this in Costa Adeje?

 

Stear clear of the hun pub (Ibrox Bar) next to Linekers. Few Irish pubs, Temple bar always has Celtic games on which would be my best bet. Not sure if The Hoops Bar is still open in Los Cristiananos if your keen for a stroll.

 

Looks like abada in the background running

Not long now to discover who’s fit and who isn’t.

Regardless of 1 or 2 players being sidelined we’ll still be too strong for the tramps. HAIL HAIL. Keep the faith!

 

Might be Vata

 

Looks like Taylor.

Start fast, don't give the huns an inch. Crowd will play a massive part in this too. Hammer these * Celtic!!!

 

Yes, it certainly was a great fecking goal by Bernabei however, I don't want to see him starting on Saturday as he definitely isn't a defender.

 

Yes he still has lots to learn defensively especially his positional sense.
