@utdcynical Reading the responses to this post, I feel that I might be the smartest person on the planet after Elon Musk …

@ZwebackHD When I see posts like this, I think to myself – ‘surely nobody is going to fall for it’ – but then they queue up to do just that …

@definitivegazer @fmcgill008 @LeRef5 @ScottishFA Not sure why Germany would need any justice, but if the game today was not concluded, then surely Hearts have a case!

@piersmorgan Because I used to watch it every year with my late sister and it gives me great pleasure to recall those times, That said, yes – it is crap lately …

[Barry Carpenter @BazCarpenter]

@fmcgill008 @LeRef5 @ScottishFA But he ‘allowed it to come to a natural conclusion’ due to the pitch invasion, basically. No doubt the game and result were over by then – but it doesn’t excuse the Celtic fans antics and aggression.

@fmcgill008 @LeRef5 @ScottishFA Well, I believe the referee blew the final whistle when he considered the game finished, and with no outside interference, so not sure what point you are trying to make there. That was a classic game BTW, Was cheering for the Scots there – even though you all hate us.

@efcjacobz ‘Normal’ and ‘Eurovision’ do not belong in the same sentence …

@fmcgill008 @LeRef5 @ScottishFA In all my time watching football I have never seen the final whistle called as a goal was scored, Straight after the subsequent kick-off, maybe. I suspect the ref decided to call it after the pitch invasion. Probably the right call for safety’s sake - but it doesn’t sit right.

@jamesawarren As a Fulham fan who lives in The New Forest, Saints haven’t covered themselves in glory lately for sure, but getting kicked out of the final for something that inconsequential would be ridiculous.

[Barry Carpenter @BazCarpenter]

@LeRef5 @ScottishFA No argument from me - but those in charge will take the easy option. Pitch invasions a regular occurrence in England, even after the odd player assault last season. Until there are real consequences, they won’t stop. Hearts deserve some justice – but they won’t get it.

@philhel3 @cluedont ‘Links Rechts’ by Snollebollekes. According to my daughter: it literally says “from left… to right”. At the big events you know when this song comes on you have to finish your drink, or you’re gonna end up with beer all over you.’

@FulhamFanZone @Scrumpydave66 @lilyallen Pretty sure I heard her say it in a radio interview. Wanted to 'avoid conflict in the family home'. She didn't sound like she was joking.

@RealTimVine I read Michael Caine’s autobiography some years ago. He found a horse.
