Kinetic energy. The ball hit his hand and his head followed through

That raging bigoted boot Sheban Aherne said in Talksport she had watched it over and over and it clearly hits the heel of his hand therefore explaining the speed of the ball. She said she was 100% convinced and nothing would alter her view. They showed her a picture and she gleefully says ‘ you can see it hits his fingers’

Explain how it hits the heel of his hand and his fingers. Laughable delusion

So you’ll be able to tell me why Rangers , for the second year in a row, are the most wronged team with VAR…

You’ll be able to explain why Rangers have had 20+ goals disallowed this season alone…

You’ll be able to explain why Rangers have had one penalty at Celtic park this century…Celtic have had 12+ penalties in that time

If it’s both sides of the Old Firm who benefit why is it one team averages between 13-15 fouls per booking and every other club averages between 4-7 fouls per booking. Here’s a clue the one team isn’t Rangers

You’ll be able to explain the lack of Red cards for Celtic since Collum took over. Their own players have complained they are refereed differently in Europe….no shit!!

You’ll be able to explain the Juluene cup winning goal with three players off side… The Cerny non penalty in Cup final. We actually had another stonewaller that day that’s overshadowed by the most deliberate act of cheating… The Sima disallowed Cup final goal for phantom challenge on Celtic keeper. The deliberate kick took Butlands head and no Red as he didn’t kick him hard enough.

I could keep that going indefinitely as there are so many examples.

I’m not blind to Rangers getting decisions and mentioned earlier the Livi non penalty at Ibrox but other than that I can’t think of another result changing decision.

You can explain Stuart Gilmour admitting the game is run for one team. Stewart Milne saying Lawwell had too much influence over our game…

It’s just lazy to lump the two clubs together. Just for the record I know historically Rangers have benefited from Rangers minded officials ( 2 linesmen I know admitted it ) but those days are long gone.

In summary I want a level playing field for all. I want more consistency and most importantly I want the levels of officiating to improve and officials held accountable for repeatedly making obvious mistakes

That doesn't explain why you were awarded about 83 penalties in a single season just a couple of years back and why "PENALTY RANGERS!" is a humorous quip used by your own fans and others still to this day.

I take no notice of your expression of "the most wronged team this season" because I don't agree with what these so called "experts" decide what is wrong and what is right. Some of the time I do, some of the time I don't, but I prefer to use my own rationale and logic to determine decisions.

The two of you can't see the wood for the trees. Give fans of 10 Scottish premiership clubs the choice of being refereed how they are currently or refereed as if they were an old firm club and almost every one would jump at it.

As I say, you'll get a contentious decision in your favour against Falkirk on Saturday. You'll then come on here explaining why it's not contentious and it's sound refereeing and back that up further because some panel of fuckwits will agree with you in 6 weeks time. Everyone else should just suck it up when we're being gaslit weekly.

Cards on the table as you know I fucking hate the old firm but I'm also not exactly jumping for Hearts to win the league because of their manager. Any other season i'd be revelling in it but the other week when asked, I answered slightly favour hearts but if Rangers or Celtic were to win it I'd still hold a bit of joy that McInnes didn't get over the line. So honestly speaking I've bizarrely not got much of a dog in the title race run, as I say slightly still favoured towards Hearts but minimal. So with all that in mind I'm content that my opinion is left fairly neutral here and last night was another disgrace in spite of how it's attempting to be dressed up today. Even if a panel rules correct decision down the line, I can see it for what it is.

Looks like handball to me

Lmao, send a video in instead of still shots, it goes 30 yards in to the stands, never in a month of Sundays does any meaningful contact with an open limp hand allow for that amount of force be generated and even at that, celtic players shoulder pushes his arm further up in to it and EVEN after that, a hand in front of face would also make 0 difference to any trajectory, I guarantee you on his very website have made a claim for non penalty because it had no bearing on trajectory of the ball. Imagine a penalty if ball strikers your hand when its covering your balls looool. Absolute joke.

For me, if it hits his hand at all, its a penalty. As his hand shouldn't be up there.

Whether it does or not is totally inconclusive, from that one camera angle that they have in SPL for VAR

Utter nonsense lol, what logic are you using to justify an 80% chance given for a 0% chance of celtic getting anything from the cross as it was being cleared regardless of where his hand was.

How did they arrive at 9 minutes extra time?

Think it was 5 or 6 minutes, which was probably fair. The incident happened right at the very end of it. The VAR process and build up to the penalty being taken then took another couple of minutes. I've no real qualms with the time added on or the timing of the penalty, just the nature of it.

In football these days that doesn't matter. Have you seen some of the handballs that are given? The team who concedes it aren't gaining any sort of an advantage from the handball. Its total luck and the punishment doesn't fit the crime.
However if you jump up with your hand in front of your head and the ball hits the hand its 100% a penalty these days.
Thats if it hits the arm, as i've said

Talksport started off with "is there big club bias" then immediately got the only POV from a celtic fan and like you said she was blinkered and even said as much.

I give you actual facts and you come away with ‘83 penalties’

Ffs I remember a game you were awarded the most ridiculous penalty against Rangers and you still moaned about referees

I remember Danny Armstrong , on a booking , picked up an injured Barisic by the hair and you still defended it

You give MP a run for his money.

I ve said it before. I actually admire your passion for your club and you put your money where your mouth is and follow your team. In a conciliatory moment I’ve watched your last two games and you’ve been excellent and delighted you avoided the play offs. Young Curtis has played well last two games and unlucky with that off side goal. McCann and Dodds look as if they are doing a decent job

That all said my blood pressure has eased since you stopped posting as much hahaha

It's nothing factual, you've just gave me stuff a panel of muppets have agreed upon, sometimes not unanimously either. It doesn't make it fact. Just as I say for certain that last night should never be a penalty with so much mitigation present, I wouldn't be all too surprised to see some panel say it was somehow the correct decision.

McCann and Dodds have made a big difference much to my surprise. Eating a certain amount of humble pie and I'm not the only one. Good transfer dealings - Tshibola, Curtis and Hugill have helped transform our season as did the timely late return of Stryjek and Kettlehell's late gift of the best Larsen Scottish football has ever seen.

They've loads to work on particularly away form but their signings, charisma and tactical approach has more than earned them my confidence. Hope it works out.
