Félicitations à la FIFA pour avoir attribué la Coupe du Monde à un pays capable de retenir pendant 7 heures un joueur qui n’a jamais fait parler de lui autrement que par ses performances sur le terrain.

Quand le meilleur buteur de l’Irak, qualifié pour le plus grand événement sportif de la planète, peut être traité comme un suspect à son arrivée, difficile de ne pas s’interroger sur l’accueil qui sera réservé à certaines sélections (Iran) et à leurs supporters.

Pendant des années, chaque aspect de l’organisation au Qatar a été scruté, commenté et critiqué. J’espère que les États-Unis feront l’objet du même niveau d’exigence et de la même couverture médiatique.

Bravo, Monsieur Infantino.

British surgeon who operated on Palestinians in Gaza, tells Tucker Carlson how the Israelis would deliberately shoot starving male children in the testicles, shoot vulnerable pregnant women in their stomachs, and let new born babies die in incubators - leaving their tiny bodies to rot for weeks on end...

How much more evidence do we need against this evil satanic Israeli regime?!

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Tucker Carlson exposes the terrifying power of the Zionist lobby in the UK. He confirms prominent politician Jeremy Corbyn was completely driven out of public life simply because he opposed Israel.

The entire British political establishment is bought and paid for!

🇫🇷French President Macron is standing with Lebanon and has delivered a big shock to Netanyahu.

🇫🇷 Macron: “3,000 dead in Lebanon. A million displaced. Nothing justifies today's strikes on Lebanon even after a ceasefire. This is an act of a war criminal. This is Unacceptable.”

That’s a leader with backbone🔥👏

Netanyahu, está muy enojado con la publicación de este video de Lamine Yamal, y el Barcelona.

El Mossad, hace maromas para bajar el video contra los genocidas del mundo.

Israel, está molesto con la difusión de este video. Hay que difundirlo.

🤓 Reflections on last night's Celtic penalty.

I'm not trying to convince anyone, really, more laying out an alternative viewpoint amongst what I consider to be pretty absurd hysteria. There are also some mistruths about the VAR process being portrayed as neutral objectivity that I think deserve to be challenged.

Does the ball hit his arm? For me, the footage shows this.

Is his arm in an unnatural position and making his body bigger? It's above shoulder height and in front of his head. The ball strikes his arm before his head. Personally, I don't feel his arm being there is justified by his body movement. Intent is irrelevant.

Is it a clear and obvious error? There's a popular misconception there has to have been a 'clear and obvious error' for VAR to recommend a VAR review. Per the IFAB guidance, this is not true. A referee can also be called to the monitor if they communicate to the VAR that they haven't seen or made a decision on an incident VAR has flagged as a potential penalty. This is called a 'serious missed incident'.

I think, until the audio is released, it's reasonable to assume John Beaton did not rule on whether it was a handball or not before the review, so 'clear and obvious error' would not apply. He didn't have to make a decision on allowing play to continue because the ball almost immediately went out of play and he was told to delay.

It's fair to surmise that Dallas' only role was flagging to Beaton there was a potential handball, not suggesting he had made a grave error. IFAB guidance also makes clear that for subjective decisions, including handball considerations, a pitchside review is appropriate. Beaton approached the monitor and made a decision on the evidence available to him.

Taking all of this into consideration, even if you feel it wasn't a penalty, I am struggling to comprehend the outrage as if this were either the most corrupt decision in the history of Scottish football or the 'worst VAR decision' in history.

I feel there's been a lack of balance or relevant knowledge on broadcasts. I think mainstream pundits suggesting there is a pattern of assistance for Celtic in this title race is hysterical nonsense that is ordinarily mocked by most in less tense times.

For the record, and I know this goes against many Celtic fans, I don't believe any club feels the benefit of biased refereeing.

I think referees in this country are generally poor and lack consistency and I think the version of VAR that we have in Scottish football is fundamentally flawed because of cheap infrastructure.

Going back to the penalty itself, the biggest point of contention would be on the concept of his body being 'unnaturally bigger'. In this case I feel the decision could really go either way depending on the viewpoint of the referee. I don't think it's massively egregious to say it is a penalty.

It can be 'harsh', 'unlucky' and 'soft' and still be a reasonable conclusion for the referee to award a penalty. Or at least be reasonable enough not to suggest it is a 'worldwide' embarrassment and/or cheating.

I'm not entirely ignorant of my own bias. I fully understand it's easier to go 'well, what's the big deal here?' when the decision goes in favour of the team you support and professionally cover. It's going to generate noise, I get that. Yet, there's something uneasy about the fervour with which this is being labelled as objectively a 'disgusting' crime against Hearts and their title bid.

Celtic have earned 19 points with goals scored after the 80th minute this season. They're finding a way. It might be enough.

Rage on!
