Another cheeky wee 'Henderson to deliver.....' from Crocker, there.

[Northernhibee]

Bet Spoony has never had a goal before to put his team up that was originally credited as an own goal whilst playing at home.

[3pm]

Shocking decision from Craig Thomson.

[Hiber-nation]

Cheat.

[BH Hibs]

Thomson strikes again

[Keyser Sauzee]

Shocker from Thomson there, never a pen

[lord bunberry]

That's a ridiculous decision to give a penalty there.

[Sir David Gray]

2-2, Dembele penalty.

Disgraceful decision by Craig Thomson, came off the boy's waist.

[Thecat23]

That's a shocker.

[blackpoolhibs]

That is just a 100% cheating act by Craig Thomson. There is no other reason for him to give that as a penalty.

[Jim44]

Penalty to Celtic. Utter incompetence from you know who. Some might say corrupt.

[silverhibee]

2-1 Huddersfield.

[Hiber-nation]

As bad as any decision he's ever given which is saying something.

[Sir David Gray]

1-0 city, Jesus

It's not that much of a shock surely!?

[rotherhamrob]

Thompson with a shocking decision,hits the guys hip, penalty,you couldn't make it up.

[cabbageandribs1875]

that huddersfield manager is an utter throbber

[al1875]

Thomson is incompetent whoever is playing

[silverhibee]

Two managers having a pagger as well, all kicking off, both managers sent to the stand, entertaining.

[Golden Bear]

That penalty decision is up there with the worst i've ever witnessed. Absolutely ridiculous.

[HH81]

that huddersfield manager is an utter throbber

Leeds manager bumped him and that is what started it. I found it quite funny.

[HibernianJK]

SFA has to keep Celtic happy and the invincibles dream alive guys did we expect anything less? The guy is useless though.

[HH81]

Two managers having a pagger as well, all kicking off, both managers sent to the stand, entertaining.

Doing good mate yourself? Think Huddersfield deserve to win this. Was trying for a freebie for game but couldn't get one.

[DaveF]

Celtc should go the season unbeaten with no trouble at all with decisions like that to fall back on.

I really hope the Saints manager calls out Thomson post match.

[Jim44]

The muppet was close enough to see exactly what happened. If it wasn't for the 'look after our own' syndrome , I think there would be a case for demoting Thompson.

[Sir David Gray]

As bad as any decision he's ever given which is saying something.

:agree: Blatant cheating, almost as bad as the penalty he gave Hearts in the cup final.

[21.05.2016]

Another embarrassing decision from Craig Thompson. Incompetent idiot. Best in the country? Don't make me laugh.

[HH81]

Got to say the ref at Huddersfield V Leeds has been outstanding.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Leeds manager bumped him and that is what started it. I found it quite funny.


so the huddersfield manager actually running on to the pitch didn't start it ? monk stood his ground which he was perfectly entitled to do, it was his teams dugout after all, or was he to get out the road of the raving lunatic

[HH81]

so the huddersfield manager actually running on to the pitch didn't start it ?

Well depends how you look at it. His team has just scored last minute goal in a derby. He was a happy guy.

[Sir David Gray]

Celtc should go the season unbeaten with no trouble at all with decisions like that to fall back on.

I really hope the Saints manager calls out Thomson post match.

I would take a lengthy touchline ban and a hefty fine for calling that man exactly what he is.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Well depends how you look at it. His team has just scored last minute goal in a derby. He was a happy guy.



hertz score late goal at ER at the hibs end, cathro runs onto the pitch over to his celebrating players, then barges in to lennon on his way back....just a happy guy eh ?

[3pm]

The good thing about hawkeye making a howler is that he might not be allowed the game next Sunday.

[Sir David Gray]

I sincerely hope that whoever it was that said on here that they had heard Thomson is due to get the derby next week is wrong.

The man is at best incompetent and at times like today, you can only come to the conclusion that he's a corrupt cheat.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i knew i should have backed sellick when 2-1 down :(

[Sir David Gray]

3-2 Celtic, Dembele again.

[high bee]

so the huddersfield manager actually running on to the pitch didn't start it ? monk stood his ground which he was perfectly entitled to do, it was his teams dugout after all, or was he to get out the road of the raving lunatic

Surely the gauge is: did he enter the opposition half? Would be classed as goading and provocation if he did.

eh yeah :greengrin he ran over the pitch, the pitch is for players celebrating, not a manager actually running over half the length ON the pitch

[HH81]

Yes. I would rather it be Lennon on the pitch though.

Enjoyed the game.

absolutely sublime pass from lustic there

Can't argue with that but you wonder what would have happened if Thompson had made the correct decision. To be accurate, there wasn't even any decision to be made,

[high bee]

A mere 27 point gap and The last 20 mins has looked like an exhibition match. Celtic ruining the Scottish game, at least Sevco took one for the team and became gash for the good of the Scottish game.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Celtic cross hit Watson on the backside and he gave a penalty for handball.

was just googling that :agree:


Arsenal went a record 49 consecutive top-flight league games unbeaten from May 2003 to October 2004, breaking Nottingham Forest's previous record of 42 set between November 1977 and November 1978.

25 domestic wins in a row is a uk record, Celtic are 1 away from equalling it and 2 away from beating it.

[21.05.2016]

Another coward of a referee, too frightened of upsetting one of the OF. Celtic were losing, their fans starting to get frustrated and CT didn't want them on his back.

It's not often I agree with Willie Miller but he's spot on here. Celtic were unstoppable but the course of the game would have taken a different course had they not been gifted the penalty.

[MichaelTheCelt]

Horrendous decision for the penalty we got lucky with that one but always felt it was just a matter of time before we scored, especially when Dembele came on. St Johnstone had us rattled for parts of the game too, good team and the manager has them playing good football at times. Anyway normal service resumed 27 points clear is it? :wink:

We don't actually care to be honest. Scottish football is a laughing stock, financial caps would screw you lot and the league would be more competitive as a result.

We spend what we make mate hardly bank rolled like championship teams down south who pay over the odds for players.

[Jim44]

Why can't folk be honest and say it as it really is without fudging. Rodgers was asked twice if it was a penalty. He had already said that Watson was hard done by but when asked simply whether it was a penalty, he said I'm glad he awarded it. No wonder you take dislikes to people. I respected Rodgers till now but ............!!!

Interesting comments from Rodgers on Leigh Griffiths there. Think he was hinting at LG's personal life?

It always will be a matter of time before you score when you get awarded penalties when an opposition player is struck by the ball on his waist.

There is no way you can guarantee that. Another dodgy very penalty got you back in the game.

There is no guarantee you're right, but lets face it we aren't unbeaten domestically this season due to dodgy penalties. I'd love a list of the "dodgy" penalties we have had this season, I can't recall many if any.

I need Swansea to hang on and United to win at Leicester. It's going to be very, very tight for top four.

[MichaelTheCelt]

Why stop at this season, what about the last 20 years.

Every team has had dodgy penalties at some point in their favour and against them. The fact of the matter is we were winning that game with or without it, our domestic record so far proves this. Dembele changed the game when he came on with how he plays and it brings other players into the game. Sinclair and Roberts were anonymous for large parts of the game up until Moussa came on.

[Hibernia&Alba]

What's the largest winning points margin in Scottish football, or even in the world? 27 points is bloody ridiculous.

Surely those in charge of our game must take action against Thomson for that disgraceful decision today.Complance officer is quick to discipline players if they committ an offence.Lets see if they have any bottle.

Well, you can't just leave it like that, what did he say big chap :greengrin

[hibbysam]

And what about the stonewaller at the other end turned down which would have made it 3-1? Absolutely no chance you win that game from 3-1 down with no penalty at the other end.

100% agree mate. Has to be the same or its just blatant corruption.

[Hibernia&Alba]

That could have been a red card for Mata. Borderline, and I think the fact it was him saved him. A player like Rooney, for example, might have been given a red for that. Mata is a nice guy so get's the benefit of the doubt.

[MichaelTheCelt]

And what about the stonewaller at the other end turned down which would have made it 3-1? Absolutely no chance you win that game from 3-1 down with no penalty at the other end.

And what if we take our chances in the first half and go 3-4 nil up? What if that push on Waghorn in the Scottish Cup final gets blown for a penalty? What if Jorge Cadetes goal at Ibrox in 96 wasn't ruled as offside? What if John Terry never slipped in the Champions league final when taking that penalty? If if if. We were winning that game either way and you know it.

And what if Hibs are back in the SPL next season? There'll be no 27 point lead; it could go to the last day :greengrin

[3pm]

Well, you can't just leave it like that, what did he say big chap :greengrin

He's not given specific examples but Rodgers has implied that his professionalism isn't up to scratch. He said he is enthusiastic but that's not enough. He made some comment along the lines of 'if you want to be a Champions League outfit, then you have to have a Champions League mindset'.

Also said that he has found Scottish players to have talent but the desire to improve themselves isn't what it should be. I'm paraphrasing, those were not his exact words.

Leicester are unrecognisable from the team of last season. Confidence is crucial to success.

[BT58]

What price a team winning the league then getting relegated ???. Methinks the tinker man could be heading for the chop. Leicester have only lost 2 or 3 from the team which won the league last season but are heading down fast

[silverhibee]

Looks like Sparky's time is up at Celtc, not the first time Rodgers has spoke about this, Strachan had a go about him as well when he was away with Scotland squad while back as well.

He will get a Championship club or even a Premiership lower end team might take a chance on him.

Ach wheesht I've never threatened anyone never mind a referee. The penalty decision was outta order and should never have been given but their shout for a penalty was never a penalty, you'd be spitting feathers if that decision was given against your team. Obviously you are an upstanding honest guy you musta been going mental The Rangers weren't awarded a penalty against Hibs in the cup final, Conspiracy eh? I bet you thought the same when we were on the ropes against Motherwell, here we go 6 in a row my boy :cb

Don't think you can say it was 'never' a pen mate, they have been given.

[MichaelTheCelt]

Don't think you can say it was 'never' a pen mate, they have been given.

They have been given man and I think they are soft to be honest, hands up if we had gotten a penalty like what St Johnstone called for I'd also be saying that was soft. There was no guarantee either St Johnstone score the penalty so its still what ifs really.

What is to be done about Craig Thomson? His latest totally baffling and potentially game changing decision / blunder cannot just be swept under the carpet again, can it?

We all make mistakes, but this is just the latest in a long line of high profile "mistakes" from Thomson.

[emerald green]

Leicester City - Champions last season, looking like they might get relegated this season. Now one point above the relegation places. Where did it all go wrong?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Leicester City - Champions last season, looking like they might get relegated this season. Now one point above the relegation places. Where did it all go wrong?

It's difficult to explain, as it's almost the same team. If they'd sold a good number of the squad, you could understand their position, but that isn't the case. Confidence is shot; they need wins now.

Leicester City - Champions last season, looking like they might get relegated this season. Now one point above the relegation places. Where did it all go wrong?
Earlier in the season the manager was resting players in league games in order to mount a challenge in Europe. That was the start of their downfall imo.

[O'Rourke3]

Yep, I obviously don't follow events at that club at all, but it just seems really strange what's happened. Such a downward spiral they've got into.

I think because they won it last year that everyone forgets that they were among the favourites to be relegated. This year's form is more like their real position. Last year was combination of many thing but there was a lot of luck - great stuff to watch and a genuine Rocky moment. They were winning games with 19% possession and this year teams have them more worked out. One or two injuries and one or two simply not playing as well and ta da - lower league position. I still think they'll survive but definitely one hit wonders.

[KeithTheHibby]

It's difficult to explain, as it's almost the same team. If they'd sold a good number of the squad, you could understand their position, but that isn't the case. Confidence is shot; they need wins now.
