No he wasn't

You have your opinion and I have mine. I think he was brutal and affected the game by making poor decisions mostly against Hibs

[ancient hibee]

Glad to hear Richard Gordon calling out Lustig on the radio on my way home.He thought it was a dreadful bit of play acting.

[The 90+2]

It was a fiercely contested game. Yet they get shree fouls against them the whole game and no booking for a blatant dive? The actual state of a couple of them faking injury too as embarrassing as their songs. What a riddy.

I think that’s because he hates Lennon because he’s ginger.

And Scott McDonald saying it's now part of the game. How can they have a pundit who's still playing saying that cheating is acceptable? He's surely got to be bringing the game into disrepute.

I normally try and stay away from commenting on refs, but I have to say I thought he was shockingly inconsistent today.

[overdrive]

He looked like he wanted to hook McNulty square in the jaw when he was down injured at the end. He was trying to force him off the pitch whilst the physio was still working on him. Unprofessional, incompetent snake.

[Squealing pig]

Very poor , worst I’ve seen in a while and that’s saying something

[Forza Fred]

I thought he was influenced in a couple of decisions by outside factors...not sure whether it was the Sellick support baying for blood, or a few words in his earpiece by the fourth official or whomever is on the other end, but a couple of his bookings did seem to have a few seconds delay.

[gaz1875]

Was there not a blatant pass back that wasn't given second half?

[BILLYHIBS]

What about HIBS gave the ball back to Celtic second half after they put the ball out of play being sporting after a HIBS injury HIBS player boots it to Bain who makes a mess of the passback and knocks it out for a cornerkick Ref tells him to take a goal kick instead

Rules are rules?

Exactly. Bain made an arse of it yet somehow got to take a goal kick, best of it is no one will even mention it. Reminded me of my game yesterday. I play in goals and got clattered, ref refused to stop it til I put the ball out (nearest place was bye line), got treatment (after being told to get up), ref drops it in 6 yard box and tells player to put it out for a goal kick. I stopped it from going out, picked it up and got booked for dissent 😂

Did Hibs not get one freekick after 5 mins at Celtic Park last season

It was this season, Don Robertson with the whistle that day. 2 free kicks in the first fourteen minutes and not a single one for the rest of the game. Celtic, by contrast, were awarded 18 free kicks.

By the laws of averages and probability should never happen mathematically unless of course there is bias involved.... 80 minutes without a free kick awarded to HIBS

[wookie70]

One goal kick at least taken with opposing players in the box. He was very inconsistent today and the Mallan booking was very poor at least watching it live

I'm just waiting for the two games in a single season where Celtic are only given two and three free kicks over 180 minutes against us. Sure it'll be due any day now.

That’s how I saw it too. Mallan had to make the challenge but his stud were up. The ref had to make a decision. I think a booking was correct as he wasn’t really in control even tho he got the ball. Lustig was pathetic as were the other players asking for a red.

From where I saw it - it was Mallan's ball all day long. He got there first and won the ball as you would expect. Lustig comes flying in and collides and somehow the ref sees this as a foul for Celtic and a card for Mallan - mystifying!

[staunchhibby]

Same with corner kicks don't think I seen one of celtic taken from within the arc as per rules.

It doesn't need to be taken within the arc. Part of the ball needs to be touching part of the arc. That's all.

Brown slaps Omeonga with his arm, both players get spoken to by ref.

Celtc get a free-kick for a handball that never was. Ref ignores handball by Celtc player.

Ref gives a grand total of two fouls and no yellow cards against Celtc but gives a booking for every second foul committed by Hibs.

Celtc players have at least three blatant dives, two of them in the box, but not one of them is even warned, never mind booked.


The ref had a good game? Seriously?

Pretty much my take on it also. Thought he was awful, Hayes dive early doors was a joke not to be punished and they knew every little foul was going their way. May as well have given Scott Brown the whistle.

[Waxy]

Mallans booking was wrong imo. He won the ball. Other than that its around 50/50. Mallan got booked for winning the ball.

Looked like any other member of the Celtic squad - we get 5 yellow cards out of 11 fouls !?!?

whilst I agree with the sentiment and think the ref was poor, hanlon and stevensons yellows were beyond dispute. omeyonga was probably a yellow too. mallons was a joke as the ref bought lustig and the benches reaction. kamberi was just daft to get his.

not really too much to argue about. they got away with murder however.

Waxy, how long have you been watching football?

It's been years since the "he won the ball first" argument was acceptable.

If it's deemed to have been done in a dangerous or reckless manner then it's a foul and most likely a card.

It wasn’t dangerous or reckless for me. He won the ball first and Lustig came in late from what I can remember.

Completely. It was a player feigning injury and a manger who can't control himself that got Mallan booked.

Mallan won the ball and THEN Lustig collided with Mallan - I reckon booking should have gone the other way as it was pretty obvious Mallan was getting there first. As it occurred right in front of Lennon his reaction influenced the decision IMO.

I have to disagree.Lustig was late in the challenge. Unlucky for him he came off worse.Dont think Mallan won the ball in an unacceptable way.

The TV replays confirm what all five of us saw live.

The sequence of events was Mallan to ball, Lustig to Mallan, Lustig to cheat, Walsh to pocket and Oscar to Lustig. With an honourable mention for the healing properties of the yellow card.

Followed up by it being airbrushed out of existence by not being shown on BBC Sportscene.

Or any time spent reviewing Hayes dive early doors, Brown's pathetic attempt to win a penalty or Sinclair's collapse in the box late on.

All on the same show that has seen fit to highlight other players misdemeanours and openly suggest the Compliance Officer might want to take a look.

How strange.

He didn’t say it was right, just that it’s part of the game. Unfortunately it is, just like “there was contact so I’m entitled to go down” is part of the game.
