Jambos_1874 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Credit where credit is due for coming out and admitting the error (albeit in behalf of Madden) and for highlighting it with the referee. I was there on Thursday and it was tight but it doesn't make it any easier and is extremely frustrating. If the same incident occurred at say Fir Park, I think there is a chance that wouldn't be given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamborambo Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Everyone of a non-Celtic persuasion knows it had been at the other end of the pitch, offside would definitely have been called. On the stopping play for a hamstring type injury, they have set a dangerous precedent there, all teams will now think of feigning a similar injury at an opportune moment. You just know ALL will be conveniently missed by the referee, unless it’s a Celtic or Rangers player involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wrinkly Ninja Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Have they stated that the new rule is to stop play whenever a player is injured, before they are on the ground and before the opposing team touches the ball, so that when play resumes the injured players team is given the ball to continue playing? I am more annoyed about the Jota incident than I am about the goal. I’ve seen offside goals being given before and will again. I have never before seen play stopped then returned to a team like it was on Thursday. It was actually more beneficial to Celtic than if a foul had been given.

Its all covered in the article about the interview. He questions whether it is a serious injury but backs decision, but says Hearts had the ball when play was stopped so should have been given possession.

Bull's-eye Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 The real issue is why do these decisions only happen at certain places with the same couple of teams. I'd rather he addressed that rather than state facts that my eyes have already seen. Oh well, he's had a wee chat with Madden and the wheels keep turning, I'm sure Bob and the lads are pleased.

jock _turd Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 The way I read that was a probably this and maybe that and definitely probably, maybe this. In summation waffle from start to finish giving the impression of some sort of leaning toward a mistake having been made while out and out saying that there was nothing at all amiss with either call... my opinion still calling on behalf of the OF 110% and that is the way it will continue until we have some form of independently adjudicated VAR system in place even then I am still not convinced any team outside the OF will get anything from it in a game involving them.

A brave new world may await.... "It's an understandable decision. Do I think it's offside? Yeah, I probably do. "But is it understandable that the assistant didn't give it? I can absolutely see why he didn't give it as well." Where exactly is the any admission of mistakes being made? In the case of both of the decisions he fully endorses both! That is how I read it anyway. He make the right noises but is fully behind the decisions that were made. They were "understandable" ... if only we had VAR to put an end to these wrong but wholly understandable decisions. Smoke and F'kn mirrors!

Tommy Brown Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I'm going to go against the grain here. I wasn't paying attention when it happened and was drawn to it when Walker was saying that Hearts should feel aggrieved. Jota was running with the ball and twanged his hamstring. We only got the ball because of it. I prefer fair play and wss not bouncing about daft at the decision. I did feel aggrieved though that McGregor played the ball offensively, I felt a pass back to his keeper would have been a return sporting jesture. I recall an incident at Tynecastle when an Aberdeen defender done similar and Graeme Weir ran on in goal and nearly scored. Cue angry Aberdeen players trying to get hold of Weir.

j1964m Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Think linemen and refs should be fine a percentage of wages if other officials think they make a serious mistake with the Celtic win everyone on line could see he was offside apart from the linesman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t believe Madden when he explained that to him that he had clipped his own ankles. However, Madden should also apologise for his Jota decision and his dodgy linesman. For that matter he should apologise for doing nothing to stop the missiles being flung at McKay every time he went to take a corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS98 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 It’s bollocks. Refs should only stop play for serious injuries. Head knocks, chest pains/collapsing and broken bones etc. Basically anything that quick treatment might make a difference. Is a hamstring injury a serious injury? Is it ****! It wouldn’t have mattered if the Celtic physio went on immediately or in a minutes time when the ball went out of play. A hammy tear is a hammy tear. Unlucky. Next time stretch a bit more. All Madden done was prevent a promising Hearts attack abs give Celtic the ball back. Twat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackal Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I would love to know how Madden knew Jota was in serious pain before stopping play. It was a split second before he blew and had know way of knowing how serious his injury was, saying the player got subbed proved it was the correct decision is ludicrous. Tony Watt was wiped out in hibs box when Hanlon collided with him but the ref allowed hibs to run the entire length of the pitch and have the ball cleared off the line and then off the bar without stopping play. I assume that ref isnt as good a judge of personal injury as Madden is. More BS from SFA/SPFL now the game is over and there is nothing that can be done.

No Idle Talk Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I give him no credit whatsoever for what he's said there.

whodanny Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 How in the **** is this even debatable ? OK linesman and ref only get one view, but I shouted offside immediately at the TV. They've got a much better view than me. The replays only emphasised what I saw in real time. No debate, it's offside all day. all tomorrow and all time. But these useless ***** can't ****in see it ?
