Communication from the SFA Head of Refereeing, Willie Collum, is lightyears ahead of anything we have had before.
Celtic’s late penalty win at Kilmarnock came under scrutiny. The decision by VAR to award the kick was validated by the review process but voices in the game were not happy about it.
Having listened to “stakeholders”, guidance to referees on how to interpret the rules has been changed, going forward, the same incident will not result in a penalty award.
This is incredibly transparent and provides flexibility within the rules to accommodate clubs’ wishes. It’s good officiating. Whether the game would have spoken so loudly had the decision gone for Kilmarnock is moot. Rules and guidance change, we are as likely to benefit from this change as to lose.

On Trump. ( last word, honest)
I have a good few American friend, who, like me, cannot understand why Trump is so popular. Surely there can’t be so many dumb Yanks not able to see the destroyer at work, beyond me indeed.
Painful
Kinglubo….
I have wonderful friends in the USA who idolize trump. I NEVER discuss this with them, but I cannot get my head around this.
Weeron
We WILL gub. Dundee.
Anyone,and I mean anyone,who is a Trump supporter,is as big a moron as he is.

He’s changed things off the back of a last minute Celtic winner, he’s now asking the impossible of his officials – for them to judge where a ball would have ended up without a handball and to then assess impact.
He says the pen would still be given if on the goal line, what about a yard from goal ? 2 yards from goal ?
Collum has given more scope for interpretation which imo, will harm Celtic as an attacking team for the most part.
Just watch now as Tounetki sees outstretched arms everytime he gets to the bye line.
It would, of course, be a decision that benefitted us that has caused this bizarre nonsense. Laws are laws. It’s up to the Mibs to interpret them. Very regularly, in the past, we have been cheated by their interpretations. VAR has made this more difficult. So, now they are going to ignore those very laws. Only in Scotland.
AJ back in full training
Past few days have been historic.
Diverse voices from Hamas, Hillary Clinton, Alistair Campbell and the state of Israel have indicated Trump is largely responsible
If you’re on a football website, criticising this, have a look at yourself.
Families have been reunited, kids aren’t scared of being bombed in their sleep, the guns have fallen silent.
Peace is aways better than continued war.
PS, to paraphrase Iain Archer, I am no supporter of Donald Trump

I’m sure everyone is very happy about two years of plausible genocide coming to an end.
Palestinian and Israeli prisoners being reunited with their families is very welcome.
Well done, Trump on bringing it to an end.
Historic though ?
I’m very sceptical on that. We’ve had many ceasefires before the murder starts up and land annexations ramp up again.

correct, trump is largely responsible for hopefully ending it.
but him and biden were also largely responsible for the 2 years of ethnic cleansing and genocide.
they could have ended it at any point but done the opposite – they funded and armed the whole thing.
with supporting acts from other western governments, including Starmer, who used our tax payers money to participate in it without any permission.
all should be in the hague.
heres hoping it happens.
Old Uri Geller told them not to go..

Have they set a trap for Trump?
Hmmmmm.
HH
oot.
Listened to 5 live and Trumps speech to the Knesset. Unbelievable, these people are given a platform by the BBC to lie and cheat and pat each other on the back. Disgraceful
Like BBC Scotland promoting the ENP cheats on every show, the BBC is gone
Kinglubo – If you can’t understand why Trump is so popular then you are reading the wrong press and listening to the wrong people. Do yourself a favour and try taking a look at what he is achieving, both domestically and internationally without the influence of the media bias your subjecting yourself to. Around 80 million ‘dumb Yanks’ voted for him. Try thinking about that number. He doesn’t pander to the nonsense that prevents most leaders getting things done – he just gets on and does it.
It was a beautiful thing watching the hostages and their families re-unite this morning. Can you think of anyone else who could have made this possible?

Can journalists now enter Gaza or are they still banned by Israel ?

he is sending armies of paramilitary thugs into cities he doesnt like who have carte-blanche to attack who they want.
that country is a basket-case run by authoritanian screwballs.
they are welcome to him.
The BBC’s use of language is very subtle but effective.
Israelis are ‘murdered’ but Palestinians are ‘killed’ or ‘died’.
Hamas are ‘terrorists’ whilst Israel have a ‘defence force’.
Israel are a ‘democracy’ whilst Hamas are now banned from elections…
Israel held ‘detainees’ whilst Hamas held ‘hostages’.
Last very last person in line to shake hands with Donald Trump on his arrival at Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt, (after around twenty World leaders) was no less than our friend Gianni Infantino….
Good to see fitba being represented there…..

another corrupt genocide supporter, bought and paid for to stop fifa showing israel the proverbial red card.
Trump is maybe mad. But he does, where others talk.
The killing has stopped today. Hopefully paving the way for a lasting peace.
Israeli families embracing thier loved ones again.
Palestinian families embracing their loved ones again.
Who else has done a damned thing of any substance. Nobody, no not one.
The neighbouring Arab nations are onboard as is Indonesia, the most populas Muslim country.
Let the ordinary people speak. Perhaps only a madman could bring madmen to the table.
HH.

Interestingly, when I typed in
“Where is CQN” followed by a space ….
… the next word predictive text offered was
“Going”
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
It seems some are unhappy the killing has stopped. at least for while.
Meanwhile the killing goes on in Nigeria, Sudan, Ukraine. China, Armenia, Myanmar Congo. To name just a few.
Yep,as I thought.A few” Morons” on this blog.

“yeah but what about Nigeria, Sudan….”
sorry, doest work.
you cant sweep 1 argument under the carpet by bringing up unrelated situations.
pure deflectionism.
just because someone doesnt mention Situation B, it doesnt mean their point about Situation A is invalid.
Greenpinta,
Lasting peace ?.So you think the Palestinian brothers,sisters,sons,husbands,uncles,who watched their relatives being murdered,and starved to death, will any time in the future,be organizing street parties to celebrate,”Peace”.Really ?.Hamas,Hezbollah,Isis,Hutis,have not gone away,and now have a veritable orchard of volunteers to pick from.
Like Ulster after Bloody Sunday ?.We all want peace but Trump and Netanyahu are the last people I would trust to deliver it.Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize next year.All he is after.
MN Celt
I understand your point re the corrupt and intransigent nature of American Government and ‘getting things done’. Trump is a great antidote for that for sure.
That said I think the celebration of his role in peace in the Middle East feels a bit at odds with a sense that he has perpetuated the war and given the Israeli’s a real feeling of support for the hideous atrocities and unchecked genocide which they have carried out this past 9 months. Right down to the past few days and their horrible withdrawal as they laid waste anything of value left in the rubble.
Had he intervened properly in March or thereabouts then I would be singing his praises but not today. Today I am just happy it is over for now for everyone. On a smaller scale even for the Jewish Celtic supporters I know who may now feel they can return…..I hope they do.
Donald Trump helped to achieve the ceasefire. He has got many countries on board the peace train,
Twenty one leaders alone in Egypt, including those longtime supporters of Hamas such as Turkey. It opens up the possibility of a movement towards phase II, and though Bibi is against it, the creation, seventy eight years on from UN Resolution 181, (Nov 1947) of the State of Palestine. Which is the only long term solution.

Good point.
Last Thursday, most Scottish news outlets were reporting that Steven Gerrard to Rangers was a “done deal” after he flew into London for two days of talks with the Ibrox owners to rubber stamp the contract.
Following the collapse of the so-called deal, Keith Jackson writes in this morning’s Daily Record – “Some of us struggled from the start to believe that Gerrard was ever fully in the room, even though he agreed to travel 4,000 miles to be there.”
This guy has form in rewriting history. Jackson was the man who described Craig Whyte as “A Motherwell-born billionaire with wealth off the radar”.
Aye right y’are pal.

I have been using duck duck go but now it’s as bad as all the rest it stopped me from looking up online pharmacies, it stopped me from looking up Alex Jones and stopped me from trying to watch the inconvenience study that just was released by high wire acts like I’m using terms it doesn’t understand and it stopped me from looking at the vpn.net. it just froze so I had to back out.

Duck Duck Dodgy?
Alex Jones, The Alexander brothers, whoever!
Duck Duck Go shouldny be deciding who you should be able to search for, unless it was something that was outlawed.
Oh dear!
Only trying to help.

oot.
Glen Owen I am relieved that Families have been reunited, kids aren’t scared of being bombed in their sleep, the guns have fallen silent.
Peace is aways better than continued war.
Long way to go yet but small steps are better than continued hate and war. Give peace a chance.
Trumpet and warmonger will reap what they sow.
It’s fair to say despite the joy we can all celebrate today the news coverage is absolutely sickening in its bias.
Even channel 4 in the UK.
Lives are clearly not equal in the eyes of the west.
Sun reporting( really? ),that Kevin Muscat,they love the Tim names,is still in the running for the job,has sent FF into raptures.Not a thought about it being clickbait,not at all.Gerrard levels of hysteria.Small blot,the Sun,keeping its options open,says Rohl still fav.for the job.Ignored by the mob.Crazy bit,”Would not be available to Xmas,but Mc Cann would be ten.Manager.Aye right over Barry’s dead body.
So gullible,so easily led.More pain heading their way.
