While I don't like them getting away with it another part of me draws some satisfaction from Motherwell getting a taste of such refereeing going against them rather than helping them as in the semi.

Yes, but let’s be honest, the pro-Motherwell decisions were not simply for the purpose of Motherwell progressing.

If you think the penalty they got at the weekend was bad, tonight's was blatant cheating! Scum TV in the first link ...

Then Scum-Fan's end at the second, the "foul" roundabout 3.10 mins in ...

 

 

The Compliance Officer will be into it in a flash! You see, the 'Well defender wasn't booked or sent off, so he's due to be offered a 2 game ban?!

McGregor did the same thing again just 2 minutes later at the edge of the box.

Collum is now repaying them for the Whittaker penalty. Expect much more of the same.

Since when is it legal to leave the field of play and wander back on without the referee's permission, especially as your next move is a dive - compliance officer?

Motherwell must be worse than bad they should have caught them on the break as they would have been pushing everything forward to keep their fannyed up record , looks like defeats in Europe and friendlies don't count when the micks are counting .

A few quotes from Rodgers' interview post game. He's actually praising the diver for diving ...

 

Motherwell 1-1 Celtic: Brendan Rodgers says late draw proves Celtic's spirit

...

 

"But the players keep the composure, and eventually get the breakthrough. I'm so proud of them yet again, they're in a really testing run of games, physically and mentally, but they keep finding the answers."​

 

"I give credit to Callum because he reacts really quickly, the ball comes out and you see lots of those penalties. Callum was really good, gets his body in front to protect the ball and Rose is a wee bit keen and eager at that stage of the game to get to the ball.

 

"He makes contact with him in the box, and knocks him over. To be fair to Willie, he's right on it, he sees it and he gives the penalty."

The dive was even worse than Sinclair's at the weekend, virtually no contact (and Willie wasn't that far away). But Brenda has said it now, so the CO can ignore anything else. They lack no shame whatsoever ...

[Rousseau 10,634]

To be fair, they had been knocking on the door all game. It was only a matter of time. The Referee's door, that is...
