It has to be a clear and obvious error. Compare and contrast to the handball in the game at Parkhead.

 

I accept that there's an argument that it was that, but it also has to be in the same phase of play, and I'm not convinced it was. I'd have thought a new phase of play starts when the first cross is blocked

I don't think it does, because of the goal. Don't quote me on that, though - I'll wait for Dermot.  

 

The referee may have seen it, but he did make the wrong decision as it was a foul. That is a clear and obvious error. That's just my opinion. 

 

Yes, for me, I think the length of time between the plays is the issue. If VAR have got it wrong, that will be where it is.

That’s as maybe but all this pish about the number of passes interceptions throw ins fouls etc go for nowt when a player scored in about thirty seconds the overall stat on that should be defensive fuck up that should be on the stats list  😆

'Errors leading to goals' is also a stat...

Very interesting to get a neutral opinion. Great game but I watched the Manure game afterwards and the amount of slack passing in ours compared to that was noticeable.

Anyone who threw a coin is a fuckwit, but it shouldn't give Kennedy the right to physically attack Alex Rae at the end of the game.

Is that what caused the rammy at the end?

I think we can get a score draw at Parkhead.

I’m hoping you’re right but I doubt the team’s capability.

Either team can drop points against Hearts or Kilmarnock.

Very true. The question is how many?

 

I think they’ve had their bad patch and got out of it. 
 

I’ll feel better when Rangers win by five at Dens.

No, it happened after that. The Celtic bench were going up the tunnel after it had calmed down and Rae appeared to say something to Kennedy which resulted in Kennedy giving Rae a big shove. Rae just stood back and looked bemused at Kennedy's reaction.

FWIW I thought the VAR team got all 3 decisions correct yesterday. 

For once the officials did a good shift

Our defender's are probably out in front in this category
