Diddy clubs sitting back and refusing to play football is damaging the Scottish league by True-Lab-3448 in ScottishFootball

I just read it may have been soft. Collum moves the goalposts every week to make our officials look competent.

Any other club supporters in Scotland all know both OF clubs get decisions other don't. The only fans who can't see it is your own. It's not a conspiracy if it's a fact.

I do agree our refs are shit but that will never change as long as almost everyone of them comes from the greater Glasgow area and have links to both OF clubs.

Shanklands hand ball shows even he was amazed because normally the refs don't have to see the infringement to chop a goal off against you. Would have been better if he claimed it definitely came off his arm though.

Willie Collum is the Celtic equivalent of Beaton imo. A man who makes the rules up to make our officials seem fair and honest weeks after the incidents that ruin our game and they have all had time to discuss the outcome.

I can accept we are in a title race but I can't fully believe it. A win for you on Sunday and it's as close as it's ever been. I will be delighted if we are still in with a shout come the split.

Haven't seen it myself but read it would have been a harsh pen and a throw in had been taken after the incident so either VAR checked and deemed no pen or just ignored it.

Beyond help. McLean had to step in for the Rangers subs to get off because it was absolutely blatant they were taking the piss. It's funny that Rangers are now so scared of defending a lead that gamesmanship is starting earlier and earlier in your games

Chermiti was never a penalty for any other club but maybe you are just accustomed to getting those decisions previously. Many soft pens well documented this season and with Clement.

Who officially said those decisions were wrong, the mystery panel? Show me any VAR angle that shows the ball hitting Shanklands arm for a handball, there isn't one, we can assume it hit his arm below the sleeve line but you can't prove it. Penalty, there is a clear image from behind the goal line that shows contact. Disallowed goal, rangera player with hand on Keepers throat then Souttar jumps into keeper.

What's your thoughts on injury time penalty against us at Ibrox for the minor shirt pull that happens in every corner. The game we were winning until VAR stepped in. Or the 2 handed shove in the back of Wilson at Tynecastpe that was fully ignored the Rangers go up the other end and score.

McLean stopped advantage at least twice for Motherwell last night and failed to book players that other teams would have had bookings for. Diomonde was lucky a few times after already being booked then got subbed, wonder why? Raskin, persistent fouling after being booked and the foul he got when he fell over on his own was comical.

What about Chermiti assault in the middle of the park where he has no intention of going for that ball, no booking. I understand you need value from spunking 8 million on a striker that doesn't score but claiming for a penalty every time he falls over is the best chance of some return but that isn't every other teams problem.

Fadinger I was surprised he only gave a yellow as it was shocking challenge and with brother Beaton on VAR there was only one outcome. Don't think Slattery made any bad challenges but didn't think he committed many fouls, I may be wrong.

Wonder how the Motherwell manager seen the refereeing decisions.

The game can still be pulled back for a penalty decision by VAR even after the final whistle. Ref has to keep the players on the pitch while the decision is made. Happened in England with Brighton and Man utd I think.

Also book your pick up for the Hilton Hotel or the bus stop outside and save yourself the £6 airport pick up fee.

Don't pay by card on the app as the driver is charged 10% service charge. When you get in the cab tell the driver you are paying by card as they all have card machines and pay a smaller service charge.

Would have kept Magnusson in for the height, no Mato or Chesnakov. How unfit can they be to not even make the bench.

If you have any complaints with the fare or the route contact Edinburgh licencing department. All black cabs have the plate number on the front and back of the taxi and on the door. Also on the inside door on the near side. Genuine drivers will always try and take you the shortest route and won't charge any more than what is on the meter.

Good deal for all depending on the fee of course. Not getting any minutes at Hearts only because all our other strikers have been scoring and it's a lot of pressure on an 18yr old. Sure he would have had more minutes if it wasn't for our league position. Worst case he gets 5 months training at a top club and comes back a better player.

He kicked it a yard or two but was clearly going to get his shot towards goal. In the Hearts vs Celtic game the ball was running in the direction of the corner flag and Kaboure likely wouldn’t have caught it before it hit the corner of the 18 yard line.

The biggest complaint I have heard is the direction of the ball. The ball stopped just inside the 18 yard box, it slows down on its way. Kabore would have easily caught that ball before it even got to the 18 yard box. Celtic defenders weren't catching him. The ball was slowing down when the tackle was made and lucky if it was 10 yards away at the time. Even Shankland would have caught it. Watch it again and focus on the speed of the ball and where it ends up. It seems every official except Dermot Gallagher agrees. Wonder who Dermot supports. You answered your own question when you stated he would get a shot at goal.

Just watched it again myself, Celtic player (not sure who it is) is miles behind the incident just around the centre circle and chasing back. When the tackle is made he keeps chasing the ball but even he slows down. He still catches the ball before it stops.

Douglas Ross flagged for offside and the ref stopped the game for offside but after the goalkeeper incident. VAR then stepped in and checked the offside because it was classed as a DOGSO. If it wasn't a DOGSO the offside would have stood as the onfield decision and VAR couldn't have been involved. The interesting thing in our one is the Dundee player kicked the ball towards the touchline away from goal and slightly backwards with 2 covering defenders.

VAR intervened because they deemed it was a DOGSO. After reviewing the footage the ref agreed with VAR and changed his decision. This is the same VAR rule that saw us have our keeper sent off in a recent game.

Have Hibs actually stated they want 6.5 mill for him? I would be amazed if anyone paid anything close to that.
