I'm reluctant to descend into any statcel discussion.

 

Despite that I must ask if you are sure that goal scored is a statistic.

[ranger_syntax 4,320]

I think we can get a score draw at Parkhead.

 

Either team can drop points against Hearts or Kilmarnock.

Any truth in the rumour Gordon fucking Ramsey popped his head in.

Wouldn’t be surprised 🤣 All this garbage about Todd going off on one is madness! I think when sterling was downMcGregor and Todd were having a heated debate over something , no doubt it’s escalated McGregor has said something at full time, I don’t blame Todd the same was as he took the water of the last Celtic player.

I’ve watched the Dessers disallowed goal again. Regards the ‘foul’ by Lawrence on Iwata(?), the referee is in a perfect position to see it (about 5 yards away) but allows play to continue. Presumably he felt Iwata went down too easily or dived.

However Walsh & Connor on VAR were  having none of it

The ref clearly saw it so was it an obvious error? I don't think it was.

 

I also don't believe it was in the same phase of play, based on the way that the EPL is reffed, but I'm not clued up about the exact rules on that.

Anyone who threw a coin is a fuckwit, but it shouldn't give Kennedy the right to physically attack Alex Rae at the end of the game.

I think they go back to it because the end result was a goal, even if the referee did see it.

 

I'll wait for Dermot at 11:00 before speculating, though.

Lawrence fouled the yahoo.  I was surprised Beaton let it go but I think it was the correct decision in the end.

FWIW I thought the VAR team got all 3 decisions correct yesterday.

That’s as maybe but all this pish about the number of passes interceptions throw ins fouls etc go for nowt when a player scored in about thirty seconds the overall stat on that should be defensive fuck up that should be on the stats list  😆

It has to be a clear and obvious error. Compare and contrast to the handball in the game at Parkhead.

 

I accept that there's an argument that it was that, but it also has to be in the same phase of play, and I'm not convinced it was. I'd have thought a new phase of play starts when the first cross is blocked
