Love that. Perfectly summarised. Was with a group of lads last night talking about the game and I couldn't believe how many thought the ref had a poor game. I thought he did really well. Is it me ?

I thought the ref had a really good game. Why don't our Premier League refs show the same no-nonsense attitude towards cheating and time-wasting ? I wouldn't have given a pen. I'd have to be 100% certain to give a penalty, and it was just a coming together. All those saying it was "stonewall"...

Wouldn't ending a game with 40 seconds remaining be wrong in law, though ?

Just for Celtic, though

If he did end it immediately after the 3rd goal went in, he shouldn't have done. There was still time to be played. I think he bottled it. Totally understandable, mind. He must have been petrified, along with the AR's and players

Fair point. But they can't allow supporters to control the ending of games. It'll cause mayhem. I suppose if any Hearts player had refused to go back out because they had previously been attacked, then that's a different matter. I think you're looking at a match abandonment - which is the only...

I think the officials should have taken the players off and restarted the game once ALL the fans were safely back in the stands and the security had gained control. An announcement could have been made that the game will not end until this happens. That would have allowed the security time to...

I thought that's what it would be brought in for, anyway. Just really clear and obvious things. And possibly off the ball incidents that the refs haven't seen. It's totally taken the enjoyment out of scoring a goal...when you have to wait 6 mins for them to review it, then possible disallow

...and people are complaining it took a long time for VAR to come to a decision ? What chance have refs got, when all that is going on ? They did well considering all those shenanigans

It was a foul/s for me. Not much to debate. For once, I think VAR worked. Showed the referee the angle he did not see, and let him make a decision

Red for me. As you say, if you don't give red's for those then all you're doing is encouraging players to act injured. And yes, they've just made it that much harder for those of us at grassroots

There's a lesson to be learned about leaving a game early

Oh yes

Nope. I just know a lot of hammers fans. and they're always moaning about decisions going against them
