Comments on: Incredible: SFA want Brendan Rodgers Explanation https://www.footballceltic.com/incredible-sfa-want-brendan-rodgers-explanation/ Football Celtic - Celtic FC News Mon, 04 Mar 2024 21:36:59 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 By: Tony https://www.footballceltic.com/incredible-sfa-want-brendan-rodgers-explanation/#comment-360 Mon, 04 Mar 2024 21:36:59 +0000 https://celtsarehere.com/?p=110995#comment-360 Celtic Penalty – Wasn’t a penalty – was difficult one for the referee but Yang runs into defender not the other way about
Yang sending off – Yellow card referee gave would be sufficient. Referee should have stuck to his guns as he actually called it correctly.
Hearts goal chalked off. Too close to call benefit should go to attacking team.
Hearts penalty – Never a penalty in million years. Very poor decision by VAR

I think both teams were hard done by. I dont think the match referee was helped by VAR. He was pretty well spot on with most decisions at the outset and should have stuck to his guns.

They feign outrage over criticism of the match officials as though they were not in fact the laughing stock of football the world over. The referees in this country are attrociously bad at their job – some think religiously biased as well. Graham Souness has even called them out as extremely poor in the knowledge and decision making. As for VAR, it has ruined football in every country and would not be tolerated in a fair society. It’s useful though when it comes to keeping the big money teams in competitions. I think it’s just a tool for manipulating outcomes, and that’s why the footballing authorities insist, despite the evidence of its disaster, that VAR is here to stay. There needs to be a global petition raised to force this destructive system out of the game.
