stressball

Just what it has under IFAB mate. When talking about that incident multiple sources said IFAB would have had him have a look at the monitor for a second look.

Except… It isn’t. Not in the manner you’re wanting to use it. When pressed on the issue IFAB said it’s not cut and dry. ”The referee must judge each situation on its merit and the Laws of the Game 2021/22 clearly states that the referee must decide if the hand/arm position can be justified by the player's body movement for that particular incident. Referees must apply the 'spirit' of the Law and an instinctive reaction to protect the face which does not make the body unnaturally bigger is usually not penalised. Best regards, The IFAB“ So it’s unfortunately not the smoking gun you were hoping for. Even if the defender is deemed “very close” a handball can still be given if the referee decides it merits such a decision. Basically if the ref decides you’re deliberately handballing it under the guise of protecting your face, it’s still being given. It doesn’t give you a get out of jail free card to put your hands and arms over your face to block anything and everything. Ironically IFAB guidance would have had the referee look at the Goldson for a second time using VAR, but he didn’t.

3 points and no injuries will do for me, my eyes have only just stopped bleeding from the Hibs game.

That, once again, is not how football works.

Well played Naismith.

9 minutes?

They cheered him coming off Between that Rangers TV doing everything in their power to not say “Celtic” this has been pleasing.

Rangers missing their obligatory penalty filled me With great joy. Hopefully hearts see the job out.

Mmm. Labouring yes, treading water… No.

He’s an energy saving bulb at best.

Not even a choice. Kazoo.

Did Hibs cut the home allocation?

He was shaking his head at Taylor giving the foul away… Hartson can’t be defended though.

We’re trying harder

Still 45 minutes for them to f**k this up and break my heart

I said it very early on in the thread, there is very little pressing in La Liga, so it was going to be the best way for us to get any joy.

Literally already started, Morata will be banging into him every second. I agree it’s a good move to get him off, I also don’t want to see Scales without him

I laughed way more at this than I should have.

Lucky there, could have been a red for CCV.

Palma returns from domestic duty with a smashing European goal.

You mean when it was saved, and then the rebound went in.

Ahh never change Celtic

Not when they can find ones of a similar nature that are better. But it’s fine to turn everything any Celtic fan ever says into some crap baiting post to have a go at them.

Hartson is a rotten commentator, I genuinely don’t understand how we’ve consistently wound up with him.
