I understand the emotion around a huge penalty decision in a massive game. Football does that to people.
But at some point emotion has to give way to evidence. When freeze frames, angles and clear contact are sitting right in front of us, denying it because it doesn’t suit your team or narrative just kills any honest debate.
What’s even worse is when professionals and pundits, who know the game inside out, deliberately drive a narrative to suit an agenda rather than analyse what’s actually in front of them. That only fuels tribalism and misinformation.
You can debate consistency. You can debate interpretation. But you can’t just ignore unrefutable evidence because it’s inconvenient. Football discussion is far better when honesty matters more than point scoring.
Malcolm Offord lied about Anas Sarwar. It reminds me of the political tactic deployed by Nicola Sturgeon in 2017 when she accused Kezia Dugdale of telling her privately she would support another referendum. Sturgeon was struggling in the polls so deployed it get debate headlines.
Can I ask a massive favour from home and away fans at Fir Park this Saturday to do a minute applause at the 26th minute to remember my boy and our warrior Zac Gunn 🧡🦁

Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar promised “no austerity under Labour” - then Labour brought back austerity.
He promised Labour would cut energy bills - then bills shot up.
Promises, promises…
Your rivals have been taken the piss out of you for years, you also ended up in 3rd division of Scottish football, city will end up in league 2, so yes, you do have similarities.

• Blocked their app updates
But Spotify's response was genius.
