Victor and Joe the Celtic lookalikes

 

 

 

Blundering referee Euan Norris told Celtic players that he awarded a penalty against Victor Wanyama  for handball as Hearts beat Celtic 2-1 in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup at Hampden.

The decision cost Celtic the chance to take the match into extra-time and keep alive their hopes of an SPL and Scottish Cup double.

Marius Zaliukas’ shot from the edge of the penalty area struck Joe Ledley standing just two yards away from the shot.

Amazingly, despite some very obvious physical differences, Norris told Celtic players that the decision was given against Wanyama for handball.

After the match Celtic boss Neil Lennon tweeted: “Referee told players he thought Wanyama handled…feel so sorry for players and fans..I think it’s personal myself.”

Midfielder Ledley added: “Can’t believe the decisions made on the pitch today. Was never a pen.”

Adding confusion to the issue Ledley added: “This Sums it up, he thought it hit Victors arm.”
