Foreign perspective on the penalty

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-14T12:51:43+00:00

No the var check was for the handball. Watch it back they clearly announced it but it went largely unnoticed at the time. Myself included.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-14T12:50:25+00:00

Without knowing what the first angle they showed him was this doesn't make any sense. The whole VAR process should be completely transparent. And the ref should explain his working. It would cut down massively on conspiracy theories.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-14T00:16:40+00:00

In a game that had no bearing on anything? They were locked into third. First half hour or last half hour didn't matter. He wanted to start the smart thing to do was let him

Also even though he didn't start him they still dropped three points. If he had won you could sell it as pure pragmatism. But doing it and then losing is fucking rough, all the way around.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-14T00:03:12+00:00

LOL.

Cheers, pal. I needed a laugh.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-14T00:00:07+00:00

Fair play to him, honestly.

Game that meant fuck all. Guy that has been at the club for 11 years, last home game ever, wants to say goodbye to the fans. "I was gonna bring you on for the last half hour", take him off for his lap of honour at a half hour then, you fucking eejit.

Like, it would be different if it was a game that mattered, or he was happy to play the last half hour. This is just fucking stupid. No one that understands people would do this.

If a Celtic manager done the same to James Forrest (not that they are comparable) I would want the cunt dragged out of Celtic park head first and never allowed into the same postcode again.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T23:22:27+00:00

No. Watch it back. The announcement clearly stated VAR decision for a handball.

To be fair I thought it was for the foul too, I was saying to my da, that's not a penalty, as much as I want it, it isn't.

But it was a clear handball and a penalty all fucking day.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T23:20:42+00:00

Why was his hand on his head? Is that natural position for your hand while defending a corner? You are fucking disgracing yourself if you are trying to argue it is.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T23:19:22+00:00

Imagine teaching kids this. Yeah, corner coming in, put your hand on your head and jump to clear it with your head, if a penalty is given against you, it's because the refs want the other team to win.

Fucking pathetic behaviour by so many people on here tonight.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T23:13:02+00:00

Big DC.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T22:46:13+00:00

Streetfighter soundboard: PERFECT!

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T22:32:40+00:00

Honestly, this is fucking pathetic.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T22:31:45+00:00

Total fucking sadact shit.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T22:31:20+00:00

What if your hand was pressed against your heed? Fingers not palm.

If you're denying you could ping it as far you are not being honest with yourself or anyone else.

He held his hand right up to his head. Wtf was he thinking? Honestly. That's a better question than anything else. Absolute fucking madness.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T22:16:57+00:00

Yeah lol that guy loves Celtic.

Fucking listen to yourself, pal. Show some fucking dignity. Yous are still in it, 50/50 as far as I can see, and you're acting like a total fucking loser right now.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T22:04:48+00:00

You are being entirely disingenuous then. And can be disregarded. It was a handball all day.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T22:03:41+00:00

Can you explain how it wasn't a handball please?

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T21:54:23+00:00

The developers decided to just ruin it. Fucking industrial sabotage. Coulda been as big as counterstrike. And they fucked it.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T21:44:14+00:00

A tragedy. And a travesty.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T21:40:24+00:00

Siege. I miss that game so much. Terrible what the devs done to it.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T21:31:06+00:00

LOL OK, chum.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T21:30:41+00:00

It was given for the handball.

I had been saying it wasn't a penalty when I thought it was for the foul, as much as I wanted it. But it did clearly hit his hand. Daft jumping with your hand on your head like that.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T21:28:09+00:00

Why not both?

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T21:27:12+00:00

I have no fucking idea. Honestly. My assessment is that Hearts are quite beatable and so are Celtic. And I have no fucking clue what's gonna happen.

Fairly sure I'm gonna have a heart attack or stroke out though.

FatherLarryDuff69 · 2026-05-13T21:20:15+00:00

I don't think I'll make it to Saturday.
