SFA President, Mike Mullraney of Alloa Football Club, must do the honourable thing and resign from his position with immediate effect.

Change is desperately needed but ‘the SFA won’t sack Steve Clarke’

‘CALM IT JANET’ ⬇️

After a galactic shitshow of officiating incompetence affecting *almost* all clubs negatively, we career towards another season which will likely endure the exact same.

The SFA hierarchy who are responsible for said shitshow, sit in the comfy seats with Infantino and the country is understandably focussed on the World Cup.

Hearts fans, cheated out a seismic title, appear to have swallowed their anger and gone back to their slumber of ignorance and are now more bent on revenge against Rangers for Shankland/McInnes than the club who weeks ago took them for all-time mugs. I suppose they'll never learn.

The close season is rolling on and nothing will be changing in Scottish football authority land any time soon.

This article from May gives some insight into how we have reached this point. The whole structure and controlling personnel needs dynamited.

Chasing a goal and he leaves Shankland and Curtis on the bench for Dykes and Stewart.

Wild.

Willie Collum visiting Parkhead on the opening day of next season.

Celtic to have 1000 tickets reduced at a home game (suspended until June 2028!!!) and fined £7500 for pitch invasion at Hearts game.

That’ll show them. What a punishment.

Diogo Jota's wife, Rute Cardoso, has written a letter to Scotland captain Andy Robertson ahead of the World Cup.

She thanks Robertson for his friendship, and for preserving Diogo's memory. Robertson adds he'll have Jota at the forefront of his mind.🙏

Damning.

[Mark Donaldson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @DonaldsonESPN]

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.

Said it before but Hearts have been absolutely shafted out of a league title by the most corrupt Football association on the planet.

The VAR stuff is unreal, don't know what's worse, Beaton being told what to award or McLean ignoring what he's being shown.

It's not incompetence

[Andy @Bobmcphail1872]

This soundbite from the CEO of the SFA shows exactly why the officiating standards are where they are, and why they will never improve. It also shows why Collum will remain in situ after a mortifying season of gaffs and the reputation of Scottish football is in the toilet as a result. Not a single Scottish official at the World Cup.

It's defensive and laughably blames the notion that "we live in a country that forensically examines every decision" we have to presume there's zero intention to look at things with a critical eye and even admit that we need vast change and improvement.

I've said it before and this is the proof - the culture of low standards and low accountability starts at the top of the SFA and SPFL and is embedded right down.

Nothing is going to change while these people are in charge. A footballing backwater.

@scotsunsport Willie Collum, Andrew Dallas, John Beaton and Steven McLean deserve one first surely?

Unfair to leave out the true heroes who stole it for him.

[freddiemac @freddiemac1]

The big disappointment was that this was the best premier league campaign ever. The whole top six had packed stadiums. Motherwell, Hibs and Falkirk all had some great days. Tragic for Scottish football that the Tainted Title was 'handed' to Celtic by some awful refereeing

[Ross Colquhoun @rosscolquhoun]

To be clear:

KMI panel says Hearts SHOULD HAVE had a penalty v Motherwell.

KMI panel says Celtic SHOULD NOT have had a penalty v Motherwell.

And the SFA thinks pitch invasions should not be added to injury time.

Wonderful.

[Heart & Hand Podcast @ibroxrocks]

Dodgy decisions
Three pitch invasions
1.3m of damages to our stadium

It’s a toughy, no wonder SFA and SPFL can’t crack the code as to what the issue is.

[The Ref’s View @TheRefsView]

So Willie Collum backing John Beaton to award penalty after only 17 sec review on advice of Andrew Dallas to award penalty to Celtic v Motherwell has been adjudged to be wrong by KMI. The WORLD knew it was wrong. What an awful look for Collum & shows Dallas has too much influence

[Tags @tagsbo]

Only positive from a terrible season is the rest of Scottish football, and beyond, now see what we've been saying for years, the SFA/SPFL will do anything for Celtic, bend any rule and give any ridiculous decision if things are tight, its not a Glasgow bias, it's a Celtic bias.

[Richard Cobb @therichardcobb]

In England they kick people out for cheating. In Scotland they make them the referee for the Scottish cup final.
