Being brutally honest mate, i think it's got nothing to do with us letting them off the hook or them letting us back in it or who has more bottle. It's two very poor old firm sides, both hoping the amount of points they drop isn't as much as the other. We're both rotten.
Er, he said it about Postecoglou…
That's my argument too. In terms of the rule in question Dessers was penalised not for putting his foot in front of the defender but that the defender had the ball under control first (he didn't, poor touch and he was stretching to recover it) before he did. Today Vickers didn't touch the ball beforehand, at no point had the ball under control and BOTH players were going for a free ball. Not even remotely the same and doesn't tick the boxes for that rule. Add in the Kyogo pen awarded vs Hearts and Turnbull vs Dundee where they both stuck their legs in front and played for contact from the defenders who were going for the ball and they don't have a leg to stand on if that is the reason why it wasn't given.
They delayed the next kick for it. Think it is very selective on the level of check required.
Roofe goal chopped off in first old firm.
Doesn't escape the fact that we have been shockingly bad in old firm games this season, apart from the 2nd half in the last game.
Edit. Get what you mean now and yep, agreed. Which is embarrassing for our players.
Even that ginger failed trialist has said it’s a stonewaller
Thats is in a nutshell
As he did the non penalty at Parkhead that mysteriously became an offside 30 minutes later. If even Lennon sees it how can so many referees miss it?
If he did there would have been no need for a Var check in exactly the same way the Morelos goal that was ruled out for a phantom foul on Johnston meant it couldn't be reviewed. There was a Var check today so I doubt it was given as a foul.
What I don’t understand is the foul he gives about 10 seconds later, after Vickers fouls Holliett, he decides to give a foul for nothing on Johnston.
They could have just about justified not giving a penalty for similar reasons Dessers/Roofe goal was disallowed.
Well worked goals and scum backing couldn't deal with it.
When he signalled a free kick to Celtic, he pointed to where Johnston was lying, which made it look like he pointed to the spot.
Because the ref never actually gave a penalty, he shat it and gave a foul to Celtic, Var then decided he hadn’t made a clear and obvious error so the on field decision stood.
Because the referee did not give a penalty
have we got anybody who can win a header in the box far less score from one?
Even if we do win tomorrow, do you honestly think they are going to be allowed to lose the final ! Any match official that gives a big decison in our favour in that game, might as well just resign the same day!
Carter Vickers even thinks its a penalty by his reaction.
Yep, no one is claiming that foul, Robertson then waits 6-7 seconds to blow for a foul!
It's disgraceful
Clearly better than Aberdeen this season as per the league table.
Cheers mate. Didn't see the game and only a brief clip.
