It wasn't really a "forearm smash" though was it

Never a penalty. That's a shocking decision, forearm has made contact but he's jumped for the ball.

I don't really get this at all. The fact that the best 2 teams from the Welsh league compete in a tournament for lower league Scottish teams and don't win the trophy is surely more of a compliment to Scottish football. Goes without saying TNS aren't a great team but they play in the Champions League qualifiers every year, I remember they took Viktoria Plzen to penalties a few years ago.

I was just talking about songs sung about the IRA and Irish independence that I believe is a separate issue and historical topic than the racist songs from the Rangers support. But in my experience there is much much more of an issue with anti-Catholic and anti-Irish racism than any of the anti-protestant variety. But we can agree to disagree there.

It's unpopular in Scotland but imo from the outside this is part of the reason why it doesn't get tackled properly. Songs about the IRA and Irish independence are obviously also sung at games as often as those songs heard at Easter Road. But those songs are a separate issue from the vehement anti Catholic and anti Irish racism we hear every weekend. I think you need to tackle them on their own and in a different way.

It's long been a stain on Scotland but even in Italy and other countries in Europe, action is now taken against blatant racism. Seems a bare minimum something is done otherwise Scotland will be left behind.

I hope Hibs or someone else is brave enough to ban them from their ground full stop until something changes within their followers. In 2024 surely we should draw a line at allowing their racist bile to be belted out at every ground in the country.

Tbf it's pretty accurate apart from number 10. St Mirren should probably be there ahead of St Johnstone.

Tbf I think the officials have overall been pretty good at the tournament getting most of the big decisions right and the pitches have all been fine as well in impressive stadiums. Seen a few goalkeeping errors but not sure you see significantly more at AFCON than you do anywhere else.

Great game, very enjoyable tournament so far. Don't usually see too much about it in the uk media unless its a goalkeeping error or poor referee decision or something else to demean the tournament with.

A club that is known for getting a lot of penalties and not conceding many penalties is kicking up a huge fuss about a penalty decision that didn't matter as it was offside anyway. Not something to take seriously in my book. I see their fans are threatening boycotts, protests and legal action again so we'll see how it all pans out.

I think finishing in the top 12 means that 3rd place in next season's Premiership will have group stage football guaranteed again. Worth about 5-10 million for whoever gets it so must be a big positive for the league.

Celtic have played better than that in this group but probably due a result tbf. Feyenoord look a good side but why did they play their full strength team tonight? Surely they don't need the 3m or whatever it is for a win.

Aberdeen look uninterested and not even bothered to put in a tackle. This could get embarrassing

Plenty of sports teams have visited the pope. I'm not sure the answer to sectarianism and anti-catholic sentiment from some Rangers fans or in wider Scottish society is for Celtic not to visit the pope.
