Can someone check on Robbie Neilson? The Hearts manager has been posted missing since footage of John Souttar’s off the ball attack on Kyogo was publicised. Neilson was highly animated at Celtic’s goal, the merits of which cannot be confirmed by video evidence. There is no such dubiety over Souttar’s bodily interference with Kyogo. With the ball out of play, the Hearts defender grabbed hold of Kyogo in the lower torso region, causing a visible abrasion.
Neilson, by any moral code, should refer his player to the video review panel, they both should apologise to the Celtic player. If John Souttar wants this kind of intimate relationship with a man he must go about it differently. We live in rainbow times, but the 25-year-old needs to learn there are boundaries to respect.
In all the CQN years, I have discussed refereeing performances in less than a handful of cases. Whenever I read people moaning about them, I think back to Jock Stein’s words to his players in that Celtic film from 1967, roughly abbreviated to ‘Deal with it’.
This is Scotland, referees are local, oversight is local, all the review and analytical process are local (as I am, BTW). This is the place where the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service brought the might of the land against a football club’s administrators who were not prepared to do the bidding of hostile agents. Save me your ‘Best wee country’ nonsense, with its implied superiority complex.
I was not surprised by a late penalty at Easter Road on Wednesday, it was not even noteworthy. Compare and contrast to the hysterical analysis at Celtic Park from one character on Sky Sports on Thursday. When the host calmly informing him that the TV analysis on the merits of Celtic’s goal was inconclusive, the facts could not penetrate, the matter was settled in his closed mind.
Based on stills when Anthony Ralston delivered his excellent cross, for my money, the goal was good. But I’m biased, so don’t listen to me on the goal any more than Kris Boyd. Celtic will win or lose the league with the referees we have, with pundits trying to convince whoever listens that inconclusive evidence is enough for them. It will work, too, Celtic will face the consequences of Thursday’s decision. This is Scotland, after all.

Their history books are 150+ years old.
Their last league title, last season, was their “55” then according to everybody, anybody,
Celtic PLC didn’t dispute the 150 years, or “55”the title.
Why didn’t Celtic PLC dispute these figures?

again a scandal
which has came back to bite us on the arse big time
when i say ‘us’, i mean the supporters, not the PLC who raked it in for a number of years by just making sure we stayed ahead of Aberdeen
VAR with Huns in control – OMG.
It would be a field day in Scotland.
If the 3 ghuys mentioned are anyway as good as Kyogo then bring them on.
I reckon if the suits have their thinking caps on, the possibilities of lucrative Sponsorship Deals with major Japanese Companies would surely Bankroll the Project.
I do accept the point that if we end up with 3 or 4 Japanese Internationals we would be sweating every International Break.

i would give it a go
We could be the smallest team in Celtic’s history.
Not for me.

Why didn’t Celtic supporters sack the PLC for this?

the author clearly doesnt understand how PLCs work
trust me, as a celtic supporter, if i had the authority to sack the PLC i would have
•••••••
You’re just no getting the memo.
Simply put….
Financially starve the PLC out.
You don’t need anybody’s authority to withdraw you’re money, which is being used by a swamp filled PLC, to toxify Celtic.
PLC’s are, capitalist, Tory concepts.
These concepts shouldn’t be allowed in the front door of Celtic. Withdrawing your money is the way to make the PLC collapse, not the club, the PLC.
If the PLC collapse and refuse to get out of the club, then it becomes a removal issue.
Fans watch PLC not leaving and destroying the club, then that’s on the fans to remove the PLC and march them down Kerrydale Street.
Simple.
The PLC won’t give the club entities to the fans.
The fans have to take it.
Philbhoy, if we are successful it wouldn’t bother me what the average height of the team was.
Guys, get a grip. Don’t play the race card without proof Have we learned nothing after Tonev .
Over 50 nationalities have graced the hoops, why would Kyogo be singled out.?
HH.
CORKCELT
We won’t be successful with small players, in Scotland, in my opinion.
We need to be more physical in most areas. And we need more height.
IMO.
PLC’s are, capitalist, Tory concepts.

i agree
but that must have a massive short or medium term hit to what happens on the park
which many will feel is a price worth paying
but how long do you think that hit would last for?
5 years?
10 years?
who knows?
so how many fans would take that risk?
or decide they are going to sacrifice one of the best things they do week to week for a number of years
hard to convince folk to do that

Very annoyed the VAR spoiled the Dortmund Bayern game. The Ref looked to be leaning towards Bayern in all decisions.
If Sky are in control of VAR then Celtic will be Thoroughly disadvantaged @ every turn.
I know, I know we are used to it. Enough is enough.
Stand up to the SFA/UEFA Masonic scum. Dermot leave please. Sandy Lanes Masonic symbols were published when the wee Simon Cowell rode a jetski.
The PLC won’t give the club entities to the fans.

PLCs in general dont give fk all to anyone
their whole ethos is about filling their own troughs
at everyone elses expense
Withdrawing your money would mean no new players, massive downsizing, no trophies and letting the huns dominate Scottish football.
Is this what Celtic supporters really want ???
i think VAR probably has more positives than negatives
though ironically for me its biggest negative is one of the times it is technically correct – giving a player offside by a pixel
i juat cant see how that benefits the game

exactly
fans in 20 years time might look back on us doing it and thank us for it
but that means our generation cant go to watch our team anymore
not sure i can be having that
Not so sure about VAR being good for us.
Another three Huns in the box scrutinising every goal we score to try to find ways to rule them out and meanwhile, over at ipox, their mates will be giving sevco penalties for nothing and ignoring offsides and blatant fouls by Huns.

that already happens but would now get highlighted more
GREENPINATA – 7:31 PM
You’re getting very warm, just need to tweak it by swapping the ‘Celtic supporters’ bit…
Let’s
I agree, but I think the off field cheats will just back up their brothers on the pitch and any intervention VAR makes will be to our detriment.
P67,
Another plea for a leader that focusses on Celtic governance please.
Take your blinkers off and see where it takes you.
Out of your comfy seat probably.

Comfy seat?
You’ve never been up there then!

Your now playing squirrel games.
I stress again, the PLC, billionaires, and millionaires, are to be starved of any Celtic supporters money.
No deals, nobody being bought out, only starved out.
That starved money is to be put on hold for 6 weeks, when the very rich PLC either pays all of Celtic’s bills out its own pockets, or they walk?
If they don’t walk, then they have to be marched out the front door, down Kerrydale Street, never to be seen again!
There will be no hit to Celtic fc, only the PLC.
Withhold season book money for 6 weeks after renewal date.
Then when direct debits kick in, the PLC, either goes into its own pocket, or asks the fans for help?
No help! No deals! No buy out! Just removal!
Season book money is the fuel that keeps Celtic’s engine running.
Without that money, the PLC, either put their own money in, or they walk.
No negotiating new deals with swamp PLC creatures, PLC removal is the first box to tick.
The second box requires a leader figure to be in charge, who that’ll be, I only have one name, which I won’t mention, as some posters kilts will fall down, but, it can’t be forgotten here that, 53,000 Celtic supporters have sold out, by financially backing such a putrid, utterly, vomit inducing PLC executive.
So, “NONE”, of the 53,000 sellouts is fit to run Celtic fc.
Ten full years of, AULDHEID’s incredible revelations, and 53,000 supporters, still support a board that makes the Kelly’s & White’s look like two school children caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
A leader who’ll deliver hard truths and not, comforting lies.
A leader who’ll attach Celtic fc, to teams from Ireland, help with the restructuring of Belfast Celtic, when united Ireland has taken place, teams from lands that are oppressed by Western imperialism, whom we should be dealing with from years ago, show the world that, Celtic has shaken loose of it’s Tory PLC shackles.
A leader of whom, 100% of Celtic fc’s enemies are terrified to face.
A leader who might even make AULDHEID, the chairman, that would surely be better than, Bankier?
MARTIN
Appreciated your nice comment on Thursday night.
Thank you and take care.
As I’ve said before, run a mile if the SMSM start pushing for VAR – they’ve been given the nod and the fix is in.
I thought hmmmm last time Craigan was commenting on a Celic game when the ball may have skimmed Jota’s fingernails in the build up to a goal -“we don’t have the LUXURY of VAR in Scotland”.
Be careful what you wish for.

so, yes
despite your accusations of what i do with squirrels
that would likely be the only way to get the outcome you describe
but its just not going to happen
its a bit like trying to get the whole world not to buy petrol for a day to make a stance on global warming
folk look after their own interests
and if that is they want to go to watch the hoops then they are going to buy their season ticket regardless

‘Withdrawing your money would mean no new players, massive downsizing, no trophies and letting the huns dominate Scottish football.’
###
Let’s be honest though, the real reason people won’t do it is because they enjoy going to the games and don’t want to forego that enjoyment.
Fair enough, but don’t try to pretend it’s done out of some altruistic, self denying, public spirited sense of duty.
The other option of course is to ‘pay at the gate’ rather than up front for the entire season.
Let’s all
That’s Mark McGhee
Napoli v atalanta.
Napoli equalised.
Ball crossed from the right wing to forward who’s in front of centre halves but behind passer of the ball.
VAR checked no offside.. GOAL..
Somebody should let Crawford and the rabid wig know..

Nah, your doing it again.
Do you eat squirrel soup?
Not 50%, but 100%, of Celtic’s enemies are terrified to face the leader of Celtic, whom I would nominate.
100% of Celtic’s enemies are terrified to face, George Galloway, the present leader of WPB,
the Workers Party of Britain. The only 100% socialist, working class party, in Britain.
No media, politician, or smart ass will go toe to toe with, George Galloway.
If there’s another working class, socialist leader, who wears a,
“RAGGED TROUSERED PHILANTHROPIST HAT” to cover his head scars after he was attacked by imperialists, whom 100% of Celtic’s enemies would be terrified to face, I’m all ears, but GG, can’t be bought, or bullied, and imperialists don’t like it up thum, and attack in huge imbalance of numbers is all they know.
PHILBHOY ✌ 👍
MARTIN O’SEVILLE on 4TH DECEMBER 2021 8:42 PM
Is he still going to games at Palmerston?
Will Crawford Allen be charged with bringing the game into disrepute or is commenting on the referees performance now permitted?
I can’t see a third option

Rinsing out the style!!!!

Can’t see George Galloway scaring anybody standing at the entrance to Celti Park in a catsuit holding a carton of milk. Would make us a laughing stock
