St Mirren denied a stonewaller compared to the one just given in the last minute against Hertz.Quote:

The ref on the pitch has got the perfect excuse now he can blame the faceless wonder in the VAR studio for bringing it to there attention.
Think I have only see one ref stick by his decision after going to look at VAR
Was thinking of more than one other c word when I was typing that :greengrinQuote:

Zero consistency applied using this awful system.
In more farce, only three ties in this round will have VAR, including ours. So doubtless there will be something else controversial in one of these while something blatant passes by in one of the other ties. Level playing field??
How come we can have VAR when other games in the same round of a competition don’t?
That doesn’t feel right to me.
Not watching it but I'm glad the Beeb picked such a plum tie by the sounds of things.
Both teams a shadow of what they were recently at Anfield.
A team needs to protest VAR by having their arms taped to their sides for the whole game. Make it look so stupid that they have to change it.
What has happened to these two recently? Liverpool looking particularly poor.
My thoughts exactly. Won't improve a thing of we still have the same incompetent ****** running the game.Quote:

Celtic would have won comfortably and don’t need a helping hand like that.
Watch Efe at the fourth goal and how he puts his hands behind his back - totally unnatural and may as well be taped there!Quote:

Had a look the other day and Hearts had only won 4 games when they hadn't got a penalty. They were against the bottom 3 clubs, Motherwell, Dundee United and Ross Co twice. They've since beaten St Mirren without a penalty but St Mirren were denied a more obvious one than Celtic's today, which probably would have led to a draw. It can be argued the one v Aberdeen didn't make a difference as they won 5-0 but Aberdeen were only 2 down at the time with 50 minutes left. It was a very dodgy penalty decision and taking it to 3-0 killed the game.Quote:

It’s just *****. Celtc were 1/50 to win this game, Morton were given nae chance. Still, they turn up and try to attack. First 15 mins they’re doing great. Then at the first opportunity they get, VAR and the ref just gift Celtc a pen.
The commentators - “oh well we’ve seen them given”. Gutless sycophants.
Morton might as well have not turned up.
How in ****s name is that not a penalty if the other one was?!
Exactly.Quote:

Nolan Kenneh starts for Ross County.
How long until footballers start wearing special equipment to stick their arms to their sides throughout the game?
Weighted sleeves to keep the arms down.Quote:

Mid-table obscurity beckons for both sides as neither team can ignite a push for the Europa Conference League qualification.
Sportsound savaging Scottish officials for their use of VAR - even though it favoured Celtic today. All VAR has done up here is highlight just how bad our refs are - something we've all known for decades but was easily hushed up as there was little forensic scrutiny of incidents or decisions. VAR has changed that.Quote:
