Motherwell/Hearts…
VAR to ref - “That’s a penalty”
Ref to VAR - “No, it’s not”
Motherwell/Celtic
VAR to ref - “That’s a penalty”
Ref to VAR - “Is it? Aye, okay then”
Frightening.
@scotsunsport Only question is, why was it given in the first place and why was hearts penalty, which has also since been confirmed as the wrong decision, not given?
@AnthonyRJoseph The audio & statement confirms Hearts point….surrounding the premature ending of the match, and expressing our concern that a troubling precedent has been set whereby a pitch invasion can effectively determine the duration of a football match, rather than the match officials
Guys accents fucking awful but he’s absolutely bang on in everything he says.
Scottish media are the only ones turning a blind eye to it and we know exactly why that is 👍🏻
🗣️ “If Hearts players have been accosted by some of our fans, that’s pretty serious.”
🗣️ “I was asking the fourth official, or one of the linesmen, in the tunnel, and he said it’s over.”

Rules say Hearts should be given the title after what happened before the final whistle was blown.
However, zero chance this SPFL has the spine to implement this decision.
