    Took collum about 30 seconds to look at the monitor and decide. Shows you how much of a stone wall penalty it was.

    There is no denying that was a stonewall pen.....which we have been denied several times this season and worse examples of as well. And this nonsense that the defender couldn't do anything.....watch it back. You can see he moves his arm towards the ball. He knows where the ball is going and had the time to change shape. He leaned over, lifted and extended his arm, and moved it knowing he had no chance to get it.
    The amount of decisions that we DO end up getting that get over analysed is a farce.

    Andy walker exposing the cheating going on when working on a game on sky he won't name the officials and the game but he can hear what is said by the var official to the ref .
    He heard the VAR official say to the ref the easiest way out of this is to say it's offside .
    If true this is * scandalous and think walker should name the officials and the game where he heard this conversation.

    He won’t name names because he doesn’t not want to cost himself a job at sky uefa should be contacting him if this is the case problem is the two refs will just say didn’t happen and because corroboration they will win

    Walker is the * *.

    He's taken the shitebag approach here.

    Either have the balls to name and shame or say * all about it as usual thinking about himself.

    If he has evidence of this he should be handing it in (even anonymously if he wants to).

    Ever since Dougiegate we all know what is going on up here,its needs exposed.

    I would take anything Andy Walker says with a pinch of salt.

    If you know there is cheating going on come out with the evidence. Don't drop a bomb and hide.

    He was behaving like a * in the commentary at the weekend with us. He wasn't having the penalty even though it's stronger than most pens given this season, and he was excusing the off the ball fouls on Kyogo.

    He has been given pelters for his views and knows he's disliked by our support. It wouldn't surprise me if he claims it was us.

    Surely sky TV would have a recording of the conversation between the officials and walker should hand in the names to the SPFL and a investigation of it .
    Think all clubs in the league would like to know who the officials were and what game and if it was a Celtic v sevco game then this is explosive revelation.

    Sky Sports pundit Andy Walker has claimed he overheard VAR officials interfere with an on-pitch referee to give them an “easy way out” of making a contentious decision.

    The former Celtic player, who commentates on Premiership football for the broadcaster, reportedly revealed he listened in to a conversation between the officials and was shocked when he heard one say “the easiest way out of this, is if it’s offside”.

    Walker, who also had spells at Motherwell and Ayr United during his playing career, refused to name names or even the game the incident took place.

    But he revealed his concerns about the wording used.

    STV News understands the SFA are “unhappy” and seeking clarification from Sky Sports over the claims.

    The 57-year-old, who has three Scotland caps, said: “Working with Sky I have the option of listening to VAR. To be absolutely clear I hear the video assistant referee – not the referee on the pitch.



    “I have a concern. I won’t mention any names and I won’t name the teams involved but there was an instance where a couple of things happened in the space of a second or two.

    “And I heard the VAR say ‘the easiest way out of this, is if it’s offside’.

    “That to me is really poor language. There should be no idea that we get an easy way out. You have to look at what’s happening on the pitch and apply the laws of the game – don’t look for the easy way out.

    “That’s not good enough. It’s awful. I couldn’t believe what I was listening to. I’m not going to mention any names and I’m not going to mention the game.

    “But that kind of language makes me feel that the people operating VAR are obviously not feeling the atmosphere because they are not at the ground.”

    “Referees now have this safety net ‘it doesn’t matter what I say or do’ someone else will tell me if I’ve got it right or I’ve got it wrong and that example I have given? That can’t be right.”



    VAR has come under fire on several occasions since it was introduced to the Scottish Premiership at the end of last year.

    Last week, Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes said that he believed referees were leaving key decisions to be made by VAR officials when the system is only meant to be used to correct “clear and obvious errors”.

    Specific decisions across a number of games have caused controversy over the last month with several managers speaking out.

    On Tuesday Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell accepted there have been “teething problems” for VAR but insists the governing body is working hard to improve the system.

    Sky have been approached for a comment.

    The next step will be the SFA stopping the VAR feed going to SKY.

    If they can hear what the VAR official is saying, why are they always struggling to understand what they are looking at?

    The pen at the weekend they thought VAR was looking at a potential foul on Kyogo and not the handball.

    I'll take this with a pinch of salt. Walker is a * talker, he also doesn't like VAR and while it's believable I don't think he's talking truth.

    Can see the headline former Celtic player covering up corruption in the game and think he should pass the information to the authorities or this can leave fans thinking theres cheating going on and not exposing it and that's * scandalous.

    Walker is a *, if he isn't going to say what game/incident it was and the officials involved then he might as well have not said anything.

    Could be the Motherwell game or even worse could have been kyogo scoring to make it 2-2 against sevco and finding a way to chop it off by saying it's offside in the build up .
