You want drama?
You got it
Hello
Well that was quite a night of fitba.
We all knew Bloomhearts would take care of Falkirk, which they duly did. When Motherwell took the lead over Celtic, the Jambos had one tentacle on the trophy. It was a gripping game. Maeda equalises, then should have had a penalty when he was emptied by Well Ward The Goalie. Ben Nygren, who was absolutely awful, pinged in a beauty, Motherwell equalised again and it was looking like Celtic would need to beat Bloomhearts by three on Saturday.
Remember this cartoon from yesterday..
The Football Gods left it very late to enact their Saturday plan. In the death throes of added time Sam Nicholson jumped with Auston Trusty to meet the ball and Trusty’s bonce. But that wasn’t the issue…was there a hand in there?
VAR Andrew Dallas was convinced enough to send John Beaton to the monitor. Was that the only angle available? I mean it looks like the hand is making contact with the ball but equally it could be at the side of his head. This angle seems to confirm that.
But if you look at the original footage again it’s pretty damning.
The penalty was given and Ice Cold Ian Nacho stroked it away.
The socials went in to overdrive as who you support drove your opinion - especially those who said they have no skin in the game, watch for them. The Sky Sports experts were dumbfounded. A defibrillator was standing by for Boydy.
Bloomhearts boss Del McInnes chimed in with some strong words for Luke Shanley.
They wanted drama and they got it. It’s not the SFA or Willie Collum in charge, or the Pope or the Lodges. The Football Gods decide everything.
