Topic: Play till Celtic score

The bigger concern for me was just how excited the BBC commentary team were. They were DESPERATE for it to be a penalty. It felt like I was listening to Celtic TV. I know there`s excitement and emotion in the game but there`s no way there would be that sort of reaction if it was potentially a last minute penalty for the Pars to take them within a point of the league leaders.

Scottish football needs to wake up and realise that it`s killing itself with this obsession over two clubs.

I listened off and on and put it back on near the end when I`d seen Motherwell had equalised. They sounded so down in the dumps at that point. Who knows what turned those frowns upside-down, but there was a complete 180.

I heard Celtic`s equaliser, but that was immediately after I switched it on and wondered then if they were so enthusiastic when Motherwell had scored. I missed both home goals so nothing to compare with.

It`s good that Packie Bonner is always there to provide a bit of neutrality at Celtic games.

Release the audio and let everyone hear how the decision took 15 seconds to make.

Also, this has led to the absolute panning ogf VAR in our country from both sides of the border, mainly on how terrible the production is - and I agree. Some places like Fir Park have 2 angles available and from miles away 🤷🏻‍♂️ its like a mini version of VAR up here.


There’s a YouTube channel with Willie Collum once a month or so that shows you the VAR video room and opinions in real time.
I doubt you’ll see this one till after the final mind you.

The Celtic players jump angle lifted the Motherwell players arm to that level. It’s a difficult one and should have taken way more composure than the 20 seconds the ref took. The decision was huge and in comparison the West Ham v Arsenal ref took 6 minutes because of the significance of the decision. It’s a bad performance from the entire refereeing team.
We all know multiple angles can change perspective. More time and composure would have led to maybe the same decision but at least it is less disputable. Giving referees a fair bit of respect and trust that they will do the right thing.

What’s happened to us in Scotland? We once had some of the best referees in the world and the most respected coaches certificate.

I sincerely hope Hearts knock the stuffing out of them at parkhead !! They deserve this years champions title.

VAR was introduced to correct “clear and obvious errors”.

Whatever we all think of VAR, there was nothing clear or obvious about that.

Hopefully these things iron out over a season, and the “whitabootery” on social media is full of it!

Not one Scottish ref going to the World Cup. Says it all.
