🚨🎙️Thierry Henry on why Celtic’s goal should have been ruled out as offside and Hearts have a case for a 3-0 forfeit, applies the laws of the game to it:

“Football laws are supposed to be based on consistency, not emotion. And when you actually break this game down properly, there are two enormous controversies that, in my opinion, completely changed the outcome of the title race and the SPFL just let it happen.

First, that Maeda ‘goal’ that made it 2-1? It should never have stood. Law 11 is crystal clear: Offside is judged at the moment the ball is played by a teammate. The scorer was offside when the initial pass went in, lurking in an illegal position for a good 3 seconds, gaining a massive positional advantage. Then he benefits from it and pokes it home. That’s gaining an advantage from an offside position, textbook offence. VAR drew their lines on the ‘second pass’ and said ‘onside,’ but that’s gaslighting. The player carried the illegal head-start straight into the goal. They hand Celtic the title momentum. Disgraceful.

Then comes the real scandal. Osmand bangs in the third with 30+ seconds left, game has to restart. Kick-off, more time to be played. Instead? Thousands of Celtic fans storm the pitch. Hearts players assaulted, shoved, punched, chased. Lawrence Shankland and others physically attacked. Chaos. No proper restart. Game abandoned due to home fans’ violence.

Law 5,The Referee: Full authority to abandon for outside interference. When one side’s supporters prevent the match from finishing and assault the opposition? Forfeit. Precedents exist, teams have been handed 3-0 losses for far less pitch invasions. SPFL/SFA competition rules allow awarding the match to the innocent team. Hearts players had to be escorted out for safety. The game was never completed fairly.

look at Slavia Prague recently getting a forfeit 3-0 loss for a similar pitch invasion in their derby. Fans storm, game can’t finish? Opponents get the win. Simple.

That’s why this game will always leave a stain on the title race for a lot of people. A controversial offside interpretation followed by a match that technically never reached its proper sporting conclusion because of crowd interference. And somehow Celtic come away with the league-winning result untouched.

Football rules are either applied equally or they mean nothing.”

Hearts players assaulted by Celtic fans. This is what they’re like when they’re CELEBRATING btw. I’m almost glad Hearts didn’t win now.

And we were told the Union Bears were the problem 😂😂😂

Scotland’s shame. At least the world is seeing it now.

@Shannonhappyboy @gem_ste @ScottKennedy96 No break I don’t believe but it may have been a bit tender for an hour or two!!

[Mr Demos of Pnyx @gem_ste]

I just saw a tweet on hurling and it reminded me about the time the Kinlochshiel shinty keeper intentionally saved a 100 mph projectile with his head. Still one of the maddest things I've ever seen in sport.

[David Booth @boothy4799]

In 5 days the following has happened;

Hearts denied stonewall penalty v Motherwell
Celtic scored an offside goal v Rangers
Celtic stonewall red card v rangers not reviewed by VAR
Motherwell denied stonewall penalty v Celtic
Celtic given dodgy pen v Motherwell

Beyond a joke

[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. 😅

[Don Hutchison @donhutch4]

Wow the VAR pen in the Celtic game is again. One of the worst decisions of all time. 🗑️
You don’t get that much power with your hand. It hits his forehead 💯
Again the ref did NOT give it on field. So according to law. “It’s not clear and obvious” 🗑️

[Douglas P @douglaspark92]

CORRUPTION AT THE FUCKING CORE

[Transfers Scotland @transferscot]

A hand doesn’t generate that much power and send it out for a throw in.

[__YC9__ @__YC9__]

Celtic player of the year.

[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.

[Gary Lineker @GaryLineker]

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

[Stacks @DStacks72]

This is match fixing, plain and simple.

All 11 clubs in the league should be calling it out for what it is.

It’s cheating right in front of our eyes.

@felixprehn WORKBOOK

[Fraser MacVicar @Frazmv]

@ek_rugby Are Wales still crying over this 🥱

[Fraser MacVicar @Frazmv]

@AndyGoode10 The one that Sione was penilised for with the Welsh players footballesk dive was worse and pretty laughable! 🙈😆

[Fraser MacVicar @Frazmv]

@BBCSportScot Nobody else believes, get him out!
