sellick will have to beat sevco at parkhead or it's Sevco's league, what a chance they blew there(VAR assisted)

The penalty awarded to Sevco, which was never a penalty, has kept them in the title race.

That’s the plan

Think that's understandable after being 2-0 down and looking well out of it. Credit to Clement for salvaging things. I really rate him as a manager.

Puts them in a strong position provided they can (hopefully for Hibs' sake) win at Dens.

As for the penalty. Any other team and it’s a booking for simulation.

[Skol]

I am more surprised that Beaton didn’t give the penalty immediately and actually booked silva for diving.

The decision by var to call him over though was plain wrong and for Beaton to then change his decision just incredible. It had a definite impact on the outcome of the game and quite possibly the title race as well.

[greenginger]

If not , there’s the game abandoned card to play :greengrin

[hibstag]

Whats is interesting is the VAR both had decision called against them today that they have had given for them this season. The soft penalty for rangers similar to the challenge we had against Celtic when the contact is after the ball is away. rangers get handball decisions almost weekly. it will be interesting to see the fallout.

Nothing I repeat nothing is understandable about that new club or the old club. without the penalties gifted throughout the seasons they are no that much better than half a dozen other real Scottish teams.
As for the mad man in charge, dont rate him at all.
Hate both of them but dont want to say much as could be listed on the new list.

The Rangers penalty, overturning a booking for diving, was VAR changing the game. Anything after that was just adding to the damage. I didn’t see what happened subsequently; VAR had already spoiled it.

What's 'mad' about him? Whenever I've happened to see him interviewed he seems rational enough. Shame he went to Rangers for sure but he's clearly a good manager.

I am definitely not making excuses for them. Like I said, I switched it off when VAR resulted in their outrageous penalty. However, it’s a fact that VAR’s impact is being felt everywhere it is being used. The EPL, for example, is having terrible problems with it. In principle it’s a good idea, but it’s getting involved when it shouldn’t, and that is creating mayhem.

First cup win in 40 years and lost 6 finals with most of the defeats fairly recently. Watched it (big fan of finals without Barca/Real) and the winning pen was scored at 12.54am (Spanish time).

Probably in a tiny minority but I thought it was a clear penalty. Johnson leaves his leg hanging to catch Silva.

Agreed.

Funny though that in a similar incident of a player being caught but going down easily involving Martin Boyle V Celtic, Boyle's booking stands and VAR doesn't find reason to overturn the decision and award a penalty......

[hibsbollah]

But so unreliable. Always likely to throw one in.

I liked him turning up at right back there and pinging a beautiful pass 50 yards to the strikers feet. I think hes class, his problem is his defenders.

Man U have clearly decided to target Robertson early on.

Never a penalty in a million years for me. Silva was on the way down again before he jumped over the defender’s leg. He did it numerous times in the first half; even Kris Boyd called him a disgrace. The booking was correct; VAR interjected over something that was a never a clear and obvious error. It changed the result.

[Hibernia&Alba]

He’s continued making mistakes. The first goal against Chelsea the other night was in the middle of the goal but went right through him.

Johnston actually gets a clear touch on the ball first as well, you seen it from the reverse angle. Don't think it was a penalty but seeing as it was in favour of the huns at Ibrox I'm not shocked.

Why do teams do that now? Put the ball out of play cause an opposition player is down injured? He's definitely not hurt, you're 1-0 down at home. Play on!!

Of course not. It was a dive from a player who was persistently diving.

United cannot defend. They leave themselves wide open all the time. Only Sheffield United have conceded more shots in the EPL.

It’s the same old story, teams can go through United like a hot knife through butter. You have to question the manger, he doesn’t seem to be learning, it’s only a couple of days since United lost a game they were winning in the 98th minute, but he sets them up the same way again.

Has Casemiro just lost some pace or something? He looks a much worse player from what i watched last year.

That was a crazy game; Liverpool had enough chances to win several matches but somehow only get a draw. The usual comedy defending from United, but two lovely goals.

I still fancy City to win the league again. They never panic; they will just keep passing and moving and stacking up the points.

[Trinity Hibee]

See that Diaz chance towards the end, minimal contact by Robertson and Antony’s first thought is to dive and risk having a goal go against him. Would rather fall to the ground than try and challenge for the ball in his own box

You are just assuming that a top half of Spanish league quality player is going to come through. Scotland have had pish strikers for about 30 years. That could happen to Bilbao too. They could go 20 years without a decent left back for example.

I personally think it's incredible. 24 cups, 8 league titles, never relegated, European finals, competing for champions league. A club with a clear identify.

There is also another big club down the road who have many of the best basque players and wouldn't sell to Bilbao.

Even they accepted he dived. VAR changed the game and might change the destination of the league title. As I said, we might as well let VAR decide who wins and just skip the game. Let VAR call it like the old pools panel when games were postponed.

[Stairway 2 7]

Saka more interested in diving than scoring at the end.

City and Bayern will be happiest obviously but looking forward to two good games next week

[JimBHibees]

Horrendous simulation from Saka

Tend to agree stand up and score the winner. Too busy looking for a foul.

[MWHIBBIES]

Do think he could've just scored on seeing replay. Could be costly.

Not sure Kane should be eligible for the 2nd leg. Elbow on Gabriel was pretty bad, certainly no accident. Davies suspended should make Sakas life a bit easier.

[DaveF]

Lamentable stuff from Saka, with the goal on a plate for him, yet he chose to do that.

Should have been booked.

[cabbageandribs1875]

another poor performance from Leeds, i wonder if it's because he simply will not drop his favourite Bamford, the guy is absolutely kack but ****e simply will not drop him, Dan james back to being the worst football player not only in the english leagues but probably the world, yet again ****e leaves it until the 81st minute to actually make a damn change, one shot on goal v Sunderland, i read someone joke that if Kamara got to take a penalty kick he would pass it back the way, horrible frustrating tactics.

oh and yes it should have been two penalties, first one Referee surely clearly sees the Sunderland player leaning in to the ball with his arm then the 2nd one the linesman should have saw the handball chr*st even the sunderland player was holding his wrist after handling it

Only seen the 2nd one . I think everyone in Elland Road seen it apart from the officials , not only was it a handball but the Sunderland player near had the shirt ripped of the leeds player too . Sunderland player holding his wrist was a bit of a giveaway right enough.

considering what's at stake at both ends of the table i'm surprised the Championship doesn't have VAR

YET

apparently Leeds have had six letters of apology this season
Leeds United boss Daniel ****e says they have received six apologies from referees' body PGMOL this season.



Daniel ****e
The 47-year-old said he expected two more after his team had two penalty appeals turned down in Tuesday's 0-0 Championship draw with Sunderland.

Leeds went second with the point, but will be overhauled if Ipswich avoid defeat against Watford on Wednesday.

"We have had six letters this season so far apologising and saying it was a penalty or a red card," said ****e.

"We'll probably get two more letters right now. It won't help us because it doesn't feel like a fair outcome.

"If we had got two penalties it would have felt we could have at least used one to win this game

"It makes no sense. In general I am never asking for red cards, it's more like 'Come on, act a bit earlier with yellow cards'. If you don't do this you send the message 'OK, keep going'."

The two penalty calls against Sunderland came in either half, first when Dan Ballard leaned his elbow towards Crysencio Summerville's shot then after the break when Black Cats skipper Luke O'Nien handled.

Neither incident was picked up by referee Tim Robinson, however.

[GreenCastle]

Champions League rarely disappoints, and this is another superb week of football. God knows why they’d want to tamper with this format (I know money is the reason, but they already have a great product).

Think the group stages are pretty boring.

Still the issue the draw is pretty rigged as certain teams can’t play each other.

The new format just seems weird - bit like the plans to change the World Cup groups etc - modern football seems to find ways to mess perfectly good things up.

Fair enough. I quite enjoy the Championship games on a Friday night as well.

But many of the greatest games I’ve ever seen have been in the Champions League, and I’ll always make time for it.

We play in a league that only two teams can win because of their massive financial advantage over everyone else (and recently one team won every trophy available for four years running) so I’m not going to get sanctimonious about the CL. Think there have been five different winners in the last five years as well.

[Dmas]

Unreal season can win the league Saturday and in the pokal cup final as well, be interesting to see what happens there over the summer alonso saying he’s staying but you would think that players in that team are going to be wanted by others

When Liverpool are in Europe its never over till its over. But it's a tall order. They are capable of scoring 3 or 4, or more, over there but can they keep them out?

I would have bet my house on them winning this competition in Dublin

[Stevie Reid]

Klopp has changed a lot over the years, obviously from the pressure of the job. Used to find him a breathe of fresh air but has been a much harder listen a lot of the time in recent years.

Similar thing happened to Strachan at Celtic. His interviews before coming to Scotland could be comedy gold, became a right miserable ******* very soon after arriving at Celtic Park.

I agree with the broader pointabout quality, but i find Horncastles voice a bit of a boring drone. He does know his stuff about Italy though, his fluency in the language clearly helps, and Richardson (who is the GOAT double act with Pat Nevin IMO) clearly likes him.
