Scott Brown’s second yellow card at Kilmarnock on Sunday has been highly debated with Bobby Madden following the letter of the law by giving the Celtic midfielder a second yellow card. Off you go.
Earlier in the day the Motherwell v Hearts match had produced an equally exciting finish with Hearts keeper Colin Doyle virtually chucking a David Turnbull free kick into his own net.
Can anyone explain to me why not one Motherwell player (7 of whom were literally in the crowd off the pitch) weren’t booked following their 92nd minute winner?@ScottishFA@ClydeSSB

The Motherwell players raced towards Turnbull as he ran to celebrate with the home supporters. With the tightness of the surroundings at Fir Park the goalscorer and his team-mates were in among their fans.
Referee Nick Walsh chose not to take any action. An instance of common sense being applied, the Hearts players and supporters were too sickened to squeal for the scorer to be cautioned.
Madden took a different view, on Sunday Brown will be suspended for the visit of Motherwell to Celtic Park.
