    He could have still made contact without swiping his leg towards silva showing intent as much as it isn’t a penalty Johnston is a no innocent party in it all what he did was stupid and indisciplined just giving the ref ammunition like I said now all the hun pundits are using that to sweep it under the carpet

    How is it indiscipline to win the ball? He is completely innocent. He never gave the ref ammunition. The ref called it correctly. It was then blatant cheating that overturned the decision. Had the ref been shown the full incident, he may well have stuck to his decision. If the hun * in VAR watched the full incident, he would have seen Johnston winning the ball and told the ref to stick to his decision. Trying to do all sorts of mental gymnastics to come up with a reason why the penalty is justified is something I’d expect from one they *. Don’t get sucked in by it. It’s cheating. Simple as that.

    They should be seriously punished for this.
    Throwing glass bottles is a disgrace.

    Still feels like a massive opportunity missed on Sunday. The way we lost those last two goals.

    As poor as we were from that penalty onwards they didn’t create that much and if McGregor doesn’t give that ball away they had started to look like they had ran out of ideas. The more I see that the worse it gets, why he attempted that pass when he had a simple forward pass to Bernardo who could have then drove at them literally within 5 yards of him.

    Anyway it’s done now and we need to take care of St Mirren this weekend. If we get over the line this season we haven’t half done it the hard way. This is what’s worrying me, have we blown too many chances or is it them that’s used up all theirs? Hopefully the later.

    He won the * ball. The contact afterwards is part of contact sport. He canny disappear. So he isn’t an *. He made a good challenge. Full stop.

    He is also falling back after winning the ball.

    Exactly. Had the Sevco player got a slight touch on the ball before fouling Iwata I'm sure they would have allowed the goal

    Canny understand folk trying to find ways to somehow make Johnston at fault. Strange behaviour.

    It's an attempt to win the ball and he did. Silva is already diving. The VAR shortening the clip and showing the angle behind Johnston made it look as bad as possible

    Yeh he won the ball but he’s swung his leg at him afterwards … ovb to do with the back and forth they had been having and knowing these cheating refs they were gonna use it to try give the penalty which is why am saying he should have been wiser

    It’s no a penalty though as you’ve already said. The ref gave the correct decision in the game.

    Penalty should never have been awarded. Rangers attacking phase of play starts with an illegal freekick. I've uploaded the video to this link -

    Can see Diomande touches the ball twice playing the free kick. VAR should have checked the phase of play and Celtic should have been given an indirect free kick according to the rules.

    You know I thought it was a penalty but listening to the explanations of Huns like Halliday trying to explain why it was is making me change my opinion, because when they are explaining why, they’re blatantly making * up like he was still in control of the ball and was going through. He was on his way down before any contact made, not in control of it whatsoever, would have been if he wasn’t a diving little *. If thats the way they’re explaining it away, then the contact isn’t enough to warrant it after he’s also contacted the ball. Funny that, listening to pros on their side trying to explain it, they’re needing to talk *. So they don’t think it is either, so I’m wrong IMO of thinking the contact that high and just enough contact on the ball that didn’t majorly deviate it would be a foul. Hold my hands up I’m probably wrong about it then.

    "Beaton got three big decisions wrong and for me had a bad day at the office"

    That's fester's comment about the ref, clearly names him. How's that different for what BR did?

    Will he get a ban? Will he *. They get away with murder ffs.

    Didn't say "incompetent" or "bias" though.

    You can say a red is *, really * bad at their job. A waste of oxygen on the lark, that you wish his next * is a hedgehog, but don't dare use the word "incompetent".

    You can be sleekit and suggest it, you can question the guys professionalism and demand a ref doesn't ref your game again. But just don't actually use the word "incompetent"

    Their feelings get hurt when you do that.


    Arseholes that they are.

    Add in he is defending Silva who apparently has stud marks on his calf’s. He must be self harming then because none of the tackles that he did a triple sommersault after were near his calves. His foot; chest, shoulder and the hair on his knee maybe, so who knows what he is on about.

    The same with the penalty against them, they have had so many cheap penalties to bail them out this season it is unreal for far less than that which under any rules of the game was a hand ball, he used his elbow to deflect the ball when he realised he was missing it, if not it’s right on Scales for an attempt at goal 6 yards out if that.

    The thing that gets me in this full penalty debate, because a falling backwards Johnston’s foot touches Silvas right knee, why did that straighten his left leg and cause his two legs to come together and no longer be able to support his weight?

    After Johnston’s touch CCV was able to get round on the cover where Silva would likely have been first to the ball he would have been facing the byline with our best defender right in his face.

    The best one is at Livingston game at 0-0 Kyogo is kicked with enough force to make him go down but we are told it is a natural coming together that happens. Not even asking the ref to look at it?

    If the proper laws of the game were applied Silva would have been off for diving before that incident, the one at the start of the game where Scales won the ball and he did a triple roll and the one he and Johnston went shoulder to shoulder in the box not long before the penalty was a blatant dive. That’s not including the play acting holding his face when Johnston put his hands across his chest. Blatant cheating on several occasions.

    To me see that kidding on someone had hit you in the face when nothing has happened like that should be a straight red you are trying to cheat to get an opposition player sent off, you are trying to con the referee. In the age of VAR if that was an automatic red it would cut it out because the VAR person can go and look at the monitor and see if there is anything that causes such a reaction.

    The subs killed us (bar Idah and Bernardo), even though the team was tiring. Which again goes back to recruitment. An experienced player doesn't show Matondo inside and a fit CalMac doesn't make that mistake.

    I would say, even Palma would have made more of an effort for their third. If he is available, I would probably trust him before Yang next time.

    If you fling a glass bottle on the streets on a Saturday night you would be in the cells .

    As the scum fling bottles at a player nothing is done.
