Scottish football

Not dodgy at all

Not if you actually watched it

Top two teams in a do or die game, it was about as exciting and on par with mid table division 1, there wasn't a single player I would actually pay cash for

Iheanacho looked effortlessly better than everyone else on the pitch by several levels, that basically says everything because he was bombed out of the Championship as not good enough.

The record books will say Celtic won the league but you've got to have a cold heart (no pun intended) not to feel sorry for the Jambos.

Or breaking the offside trap with well-timed runs would once again become a skill.

You still need to do that

I grew up liking Celtic and would've considered them as close to a second team as I've ever had but I saw the writing on the wall years ago. They're just green and white Scottish kopites.

As far as am concerned,if you need Celtic as some sort of 2nd team you probably interfere with cats backsides.

It just shows how stupid the rule is. He gained an advantage from being in an offside position.

No he didn't. If the pass was directly to him, it was offside. Once a player moves from an offside position to an onside position while play is continuing he is then in an onside position, and he cannot be given offside. It's not difficult...

James McFadden is here

Mixed feelings. I really like MON and it’s a great way for him to (presumably) go out. But it’s gutting for Hearts, they deserved it.

Pippo Inzaghi made an entire career of that. People are just mad because the wrong team scored (and the ref flagged initially)

I did and he is offside. Yes there is another pass but he is gaining an advantage in the same phase of play. Why are they checking it then?

Ball wasn’t going to Daizen so Osmand was onside, then Daizen was on for the cut back

Similarish scenario to Barry’s first against City, off on first sequence but on for the second (Guehi’s pass back)

I’m sure it is, but I’ve always felt that messing with the offside rule was a bad idea as it had worked well for decades.

The offside trap used to be a great tactic that could be broken with good forward play.

They tinkered with it for “more excitement” but it has caused more problems than it solved.

It was never a question of "needing them" it was just how it was when I was a kid. Irish, catholic background so support Everton and back Celtic.

It was sealed at fir park the other night. Another league cartel to go with us, Spain, Germany etc... every year is groundhog day, but as long as the hordes of subscribers and telly clappers keep consuming thats all that matters.

Had the penalty against Motherwell not been given, Hearts would be champions now

They’ll talk about that for years
