What a minter. If an admittedly utterly shite decision sees Hearts lose here, any St Mirren, Hibs, or Aberdeen fan who doesn’t have a wee chuckle to themselves is, in my opinion, a lying basturt’. Yeah, it was shite though. Still, mon’ the Celtic…. So help me gawd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 For me that is very subjective and should remain with the on field decision. The Hearts player who is coming back takes a touch on the ball just after it bounces, so unless Maeda is going to take it out of the air and hit it in one move he's at the very least going to be under serious pressure by the time he gets a shot away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 If Celtic were 3-0 up strolling the game Collum wouldn't have even thought about flagging that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I think it probably is a red card, but what it isn’t is a clear and obvious error, so VAR shouldn’t have been involved. It’s not like the ref has missed violent conduct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic fans on this thread are split so that doesn’t stand up. We are also split on the penalty Killie probably should have gotten in the cup semi too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik's tongue Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 Not a red for me either btw. Could easily have left it at the yellow and the free kick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarHibee Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Not a clear and obvious error and should therefore have never gone to VAR. *Snigger* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue it either way for how clear a goal scoring opportunity it is and I'd edge more towards red than yellow but it isn't completely clear cut. I agree with this. I also think it probably is a red card offence, which I realise puts me in the minority on here, but I would like the bar for VAR reviews on red card decisions (and other decisions, actually) to be a fair bit higher next season than it has generally been since its introduction here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like the ref has missed violent conduct. Depends on what the referee tells the VAR, if he describes the incident as something different to what the footage shows then that's more reason for the VAR to get involved. You can obviously see from a freeze frame of the foul that the referee may have mistakenly thought there was a covering defender. But take the defender making the foul out of the equation and there's no way you would say that the attacker did not have an obvious goal scoring opportunity. From law 12, the following must be considered: distance between the offence and the goal (edge of the box) general direction of the play (towards goal) likelihood of keeping or gaining control of the ball (the ball bounces on the penalty area line and would've been controlled by the attacker) location and number of defenders (other defender is 6 yards away and not catching the attacker) Edited May 7, 2023 by Ginaro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'WellDel Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Personally think the red was harsh but Collum being Collum, he gets himself involved unnecessarily and when you see the ref going over to the monitor you know the original decision is getting overturned. Why do they literally never tell the var official to gtf and have the courage of their convictions to stick with their own judgement in subjective situations like this?. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the fact it's debatable is proof that it isn't a clear and obvious error and isn't a clear goalscoring opportunity. I would agree wit that but the VAR folk must think it's a clear and obvious error and not up for debate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
