Celtic Thread - 2023/24

Never e penalty or sending off. When Yang went off we stuttered. Penalty a joke. Mission accomplished, return to base Brither. Yer pint is waiting. As always.

Agree about the penalty. Both of them, actually. The Celtic one was farcical. And you can’t blame the ref; you were shite. You got what you deserved. Nothing.

Bodge; "l don't like to comment on refs" . Then proceeds to whinge about the referee for a couple of minutes. I notice he wasn't asked/didn't offer an opinion on the penalty decision that went in his team's favour. In my opinion, two of the three big calls were wrong. Neither penalty was a penalty, in my opinion. The red card was understandable. That there was no malice intended is irrelevant. I'd say that in 95% of red card offences, there's no malice. It's generally just clumsiness or poor decision making, as was the case today. Isn't the wording something like endangering an opponent? I'd say having your foot up at head height would qualify as endangering an opponent. But I suppose you seldom get a manager saying that they agree with a red card given to one of his players.

Now I rate Rodgers. He brought Swansea up playing some great stuff and Liverpool were arguably a Gerrard slip away from winning the Premier League. Won everything with Celtic and the FA Cup with Leicester too.

In his previous stint his spending every season at Celtic was more than every other team in the league combined so isn’t much of an achievement, and he won the FA cup eventually with a team he inherited that had previously pissed the league.

So getting our main threat from wide gets sent off and a disgrace of a penalty won’t affect you? Seems legit.

He deserved the red card. Not sure what you're complaining about. As for the penalty, I've already said that both were ludicrous. That being said, you definitely looked that gift horse in the mouth. I get it; you fucked up, so you're upset. I'd be the same.

What a day for the football.
Since when did the rules change a kick to the head is not an sending off.
The penalty kick a stonewaller in this season rules as well.

First domestic penalty and Red card against you all season…. Seems legit

Both penalties were soft today I thought
And can have no arguments over the red card

Jesus! We agree.

Was out hillwalking and saw nothing of the game. I’ve since seen clips. My honest opinion is Celtics penalty is more a foul to Hearts than Celtic. Hearts penalty is one we’ve seen given in the past but FFS what is the defender supposed to do? Not a penalty for me!

The Red card is absolutely the right decision. I believe Sportscene pundits are saying otherwise and this is exactly why we should never agree to have ex players in the VAR room. Many don’t know the laws of the game!

Just out of interest. How long did the VAR decisions take? I heard today from somebody that the VAR officials have to take more time over making decisions as there have been too many clear errors recently and the officials have been rushing decisions
