@MikeNeaverson How are your crops holding up? In Scotland some winter crops are showing drought stress but we don’t get the high temps that you receive

[Craig Simpson @AgriCraig]

@CaptainDandy86 @FootyAccums Have you watched the Motherwell handball…Beaton does the opposite

[Dougie @DougstarFF]

VAR has intervened and awarded it to Martin O'Neil after a review...

[scottelder @scottelderr]

Celtic have gained 7 pts since Saturday by incorrect decisions 😂

[Tam McManus @The_Tman10]

I don’t want Hearts to win the league i think that’s pretty clear but even i have sympathy for them tonight. Genuinely that last minute pen for Celtic is poor and if i’m a Hearts fan,player or coach (or Motherwell for that matter) I’m fuming at that. You have to be 💯 sure with that big a call.

[Heart of Midlothian Supporters 🇱🇻 @heartsfc74]

Guess which one was given for a handball

And before you say anything, the second image is the still that the referee seen

….

[The Ref’s View @TheRefsView]

For us as a team, no obvious handball.

It is not a clear and obvious error for us therefore shouldn’t have been an on-field review.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Well said Derek McIness. It was a “disgusting” last second VAR penalty for Celtic. And the Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou said it was “shocking and a shame for the game. It felt totally unreal. There isn’t a paragraph in the rule book that gives that as a penalty”.

[Gary Lineker @GaryLineker]

This might be the worst VAR decision I’ve seen (and there’s a lot of competition). Extraordinary given the significance.

[Footy Accumulators @FootyAccums]

We thought VAR & PGMOL were bad.

Whether the ball did hit the Motherwell player's hand or not...

They've just handed a potential title-deciding win, using one inconclusive angle and a 15 second monitor check.

Absolutely diabolical from the Scottish officials. 😅

[Jeff Stelling @JeffStelling]

Seriously that is never a handball at Fir Park. The boy headed it 20 yards. The ref takes one look after VAR calls him over. Embarrassing for Scottish football.

[Joel Sked @sked21]

Comparing the handball incident Heart’s should have got a penalty for on Saturday with that one Celtic got…

It’s absolutely wild. Scottish refereeing and their use of VAR has reached a new low.

A disgrace.

[LDM @lewismcl97]

SFA have got to have a fucking serious word with themselves!! 2 decisions here one where the ball has a FOREHEAD and one the ball is clearly on the arm, will let the people decide what was given and what wasn’t! A disgrace

[Formerly William @FormerlyWill]

How are people coping with this cost of living crisis? I've just spent £63 on a quiche and some salad 😤. The world's gone mad.

[Craig Simpson @AgriCraig]

@Andrew695832 @RichieStewart1 Fair enough, got a lot of respect for you guys - is that all over the last 2 seasons and how many games have you missed? I just did the maths and couldn’t see how it worked if you averaged 2/3 points per away game to include those who sell direct

[Craig Simpson @AgriCraig]

@hmfcalum @portyhearts Tbf I’ve seen Jason thomson at a lot of hearts games. Also occasionally see Jason holt

[Craig Simpson @AgriCraig]

@GordonPaton9 @The_Foe_Malign @NathenAmin Like recent NBHS pupils like Rory Darge or Lewis Carmichael who didn’t attend an Edinburgh school and are Scotland internationals?

[Craig Simpson @AgriCraig]

@The_Foe_Malign @NathenAmin You are missing a couple of key schools in this, I would suggest Edinburgh academy, lorreto and fettes are all stronger than most of the Glasgow schools. The youth section in the borders is still very strong as are the occasional state school like Boroughmuir, NB or Bell Baxter
