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.

Well done Hearts on winning the SWPL astonishing achievement.

[Stuart Ritchie @stuart75]

Celtic won the league and are going for a double but all their fans can sing about is Derek McInnes and Hearts.
Tony Bloom has won.

“We have a pitch invasion!”

“Hearts want their players off the pitch!”

But yet, according to SFA this is some vindication for them?

We are living in opposite world clearly.

It's clear that the game was abandoned and no amount of word salad from the SFA will get around that.

@scotlandscoeff1 It’s passing the buck. Trying to push responsibility on to police and politicians. Legislation hasn’t stopped pyrotechnics being brought in to stadium. They relegated a team for having too big a slope but will do nothing substantial about this.

[Stuart Ritchie @stuart75]

This is passing the buck by the SPFL. Legislation hasn’t stopped pyrotechnics being brought in to stadiums. It won’t stop fans entering the field of play. Reminder that a club was relegated because they had too big a slope on their pitch but nothing will be done about this.

SPFL Statement

"Firstly, we send our congratulations to Celtic on winning the William Hill Premiership in the most exciting of circumstances and send our commiserations to everyone at Heart of Midlothian following an incredible campaign.

“We would also like to thank the referee and his excellent team of match officials for their cool heads on such a dramatic day. Given the speculation about the conclusion of the game, we would like to make clear that, prior to awarding the trophy, we were informed by the match referee that the match had ended and had not been abandoned.

"Yesterday’s match showed off the very best of the Scottish game and the drama and excitement that it is rightly famed for. The eyes of the world were on Glasgow and the climax of the William Hill Premiership, with millions of viewers watching the match on Sky Sports and across the globe.

"However, we utterly condemn the scenes which saw a number of Celtic supporters encroach onto the field of play. We await the report of our match delegate regarding any specific incidents that took place but, regardless, supporters entering the field of play in any circumstances is wholly unacceptable and puts those participating and working at a match at risk. We note that entering the pitch in England and Wales has been a criminal offence since 1991. We urge anyone with information about any alleged criminal activity to contact Police Scotland."

[Stuart Ritchie @stuart75]

@offtheballbbc We all know nothing will happen as the authorities are more interested in relegating teams who have too big a slope on their pitch. The correct response is for Hearts to regroup, remember how yesterday felt , go again next season and win the league next May.

Heart of Midlothian is on the verge of breaking four decades of dominance by Celtic and Rangers with one of the most improbable campaigns Scottish soccer has ever seen. https://t.co/8YMad6sGgI

Guess which one was given for a handball

And before you say anything, the second image is the still that the referee seen

….

[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.

[SPFL Mediawatch @SPFLWatch]

I love Scottish football man
