Pressured the ref, who didn't have the testicular fortitude to push back, into changing his decision. As clear as day.

I'd take that. Adamant the club needs to say something. 

 

Every ****ing top flight referee bar Gavin Duncan is from the West. Its not an accident. The promotion process of referees in Scotland is biased towards those from the west. Its irrefutable. The club, has an obligation to the fans that season after season dig deep with the FOH, season tickets, shirts, following the team up and down the country, to call this out and ask the question on why referees are only promoted from the west coast. 

 

Both Aberdeen and Hibs have been screwed too, so make a joint statement. Just do something to show the fans that they actually do recognise how wrong the set up is and will robustly challenge what is a pretty clear and obvious bias from our governing authority.

Their incompitance is beyond bounds, but I really don't think they would go as far as instruct officials to influence the game.

Yup. They don't need to.

Hearts should refuse to play under the refereeship of Wullie.

 

I hope he enjoys his Creme de Menthe with his chips tonight.

Anyone know an N. Walsh? Green and white envelope found outside the changing rooms signed PL.

In the Newcastle Arsenal game they just had the best experience of VAR being used properly without corruption.

I know there's no point in moaning about that decision but the referees should get their sh*t together.  It can't  be a clear and obvious mistake by ref if it takes 3/4 mins to decide it was a clear and obvious mistake.  Collum should never have got involved.

[Dennis Reynolds]

I want to know what constitutes a clear goal scoring opportunity. He was fouled around 25 yards out ffs. He's got plenty to do.

Yes.

 

[Corstorphine Jambo]

The way that game was going it was looking likely Celtic might win the league at Ibrox. Then the collective weight of the SFA sorts it out - corrupt as hell.

[Bull's-eye]

I actually hoped VAR might even up the games a bit and hoped we'd see an end of these "bizarre" decisions against one of the arse cheeks at the business end of the season.

 

How foolish of me, they dont even care that the cameras are in and the games being televised any more.

 

Same Shite, different season.

Walsh bottled it ,did as he was told by gollum.

Also hiw quick was gollam with the var check on the offside goal just after .

That was blatant cheating .

 

We should be able to see what the refs watch on our stadium screens sane time as the refs .

If Hearts are on top…. And Celtic, potentially, going to Ibrox the following week where they could seal the title?
I think we’ll agree to disagree. 
I think that’s exactly what they’re capable of. 
Plenty of accounts on here about a Hearts supporting referee being instructed (prior to the game) NOT to give us a penalty on the final day of the season in ‘86.

Willie Collum forced that decision. He's Nick Walsh superior and Walsh has been  pushed into giving that red.

Absolutely. You can understand decisions being overturned if the officials have missed a clear foul or handball, but that was a difference in opinion on an incident they all saw. Essentially Collum deeming his opinion better than the ref and linesman on that side.

Referees almost always defer to the people in VAR which is not how it should be if they believe they got it right first time. 

[Arthur Morgan]

Can't even be bothered to complain about it tbh, the game is a bogey.

[martoon]

I hate, absolutely feckin HATE, Scottish Football.

 

The other clubs, despite being cheated collectively, will not challenge this farce as one. It's always just one club at a time, in the hours/days after being conned, who make a fuss. I've never known another club step forward and back a club.

 

It's long overdue but won't be done and that's that.

 

I want to Hearts to leave. I would gladly have us join the EFL at as high a level as possible and take our chances. It can't be worse than what we have now.

 

Sick of it.

Utterly wild to involve VAR for that, the referee had dealt with it perfectly fine.

As bad as these guys can be, when even their good decisions are being interfered with and reviewed then the game’s up.

 

Collum is notorious for wading in and getting involved in incidents that don’t warrant red cards. He has that streak in him and has done it all his career.

 

I assume Hearts will appeal, but it doesn’t bring the game back.

[GinRummy]

Michael Stewart, Andy Walker and Chris Sutton all disagreeing with the sending off. Disgusting corrupt SFA. 

[Cowshedjambo]

Interesting article in the Scotsman from January after St Johnstone vs Rangers Game where the discuss Collum and Walsh decision making during that game. Walsh was VAR official Collum was ref.  Past history with them.

I'd say its debatable whether its even a foul. The Celtic player cleverly cuts inside and clips Cochrane. Also, Cochrane doesn't break stride and doesn't make any move to trip him up.

A free kick without the Maroon specs on possibly. A Yellow, not for me.

 

The Red was truly baffling and instigated quite clearly by Collum. He alone ruined a cracking spectacle and drove another nail into the coffin of the Scottish game.

Collum corrupt bitter wee man 

[graygo]

Thought a booking was sufficient at the game and fully expected to come home and watch the incident and have to put my hands up and say I was wrong but bloody hell, that's never a red card.

[dazajmbo]

The moment I found out Nick Walsh was gonna be todays ref. I immediately knew he would be more on Celtics side. 

 

Ange has referred almost weekly about the first game VAR was involved.  Nick Walsh didn't award celtic a penalty for Michael Smiths handball that day.

 

Willie Collum on VAR. Quite obviously to ensure Celtic didn't miss out again. 

[jtkb]

If that's a Red football up here is goosed. The player ran across cochrane clever play foul at best yellow possibly but Red card how is that a goal scoring opertunity. We need appeal and ask for review why it was deemed a Red from official who has form for his celtic leanings in the past. Celtic have 5 times our budget surely they do not need the GFA to help them. If any rangers  fans tuning in suck it up your weegie associates are helping your rivals to maybe more than ten in a row.

[The Hogfather]

I’d be very interested to know how many red cards have been issued to Hearts players under Collums influence in matches vs Celtic.

Apart from anything else, wasn't our player (#15, Rowles) covering? Hence, another reason for it being no way a clear goal-scoring opportunity?

The big point in all this is there is no way on earth Collum would have got himself involved if it was a Celtic Rangers game because the incident just wasn't clear cut enough. 

It's OK to get involved  otherwise though,  that's what really annoys the rest of Scottish football and why we are always looked on as a joke league. 

A great game of football totally ruined bt a self import wee nyaff.

Rowles is just behind the incident and would have got a challenge in therefore never a Red.

 

Everyone knows that though, including the officials  ☹️

Thing is, it wouldn’t even need to be a Celtic Rangers game. If that had been at the other end today, it would have been a booking and a free kick, nothing else. VAR would not have even been mentioned and nobody would have said a thing about it from that point on. They created this.

[Zico]

Fair play to Father Collum, I didn’t think he could top not giving a Hearts goal that was a yard over the line and letting his team go up to the pitch to score. However the crafty devil managed it in a game he wasn’t even refereeing!

So we get two league games against Celtic at home and get the same ref. Then we get Rangers at home and the ref is Rangers fan Beaton.

 

They don’t even try to hide their bias.

 

BTW they should have had four yellows in the second half when we were on the attack and they committed professional fouls to break up our play and they got zero.

 

 

[Ray Gin]

Indefensible decision that ruined the game. Absolute shocker. Never in a million years would a Celtic player have seen red in that situation.
