Mark McDougall has accused Celtic and Celtic fans of moonhowling conspiracies after Jota’s goal at Motherwell was disallowed by a dubious VAR call.
Perhaps if the Reach Group reporter questioned some of the information that he is fed sales of the Daily Record wouldn’t be falling off a cliff.
McDougall currently shares his knowledge of the game with Football Scotland which is an attempt by the Record/Reach Group to get a foothold in the digital market.
Even with print sales heading towards the 60,000 mark it is still advertising in the old school paper that is propping up digital projects like Football Scotland.
Should Celtic publish the reply from the SFA over the Jota VAR decision?
No, this has to be kept confidential
Yes, supporters deserve an explanation
Yesterday Celtic fans questioned the VAR image used to justify the Jota decision. During the course of the day The Sun and Daily Mail both discovered that something went wrong with VAR during the Motherwell v Celtic match.
Once again the SFA have been caught out lying to Celtic over decision makers, fortunately Celtic fans now have plenty of alternatives to the Daily Record for news and information about their club.
In September 2019 McDougall tipped Celtic for a 4-0 hammering at Ibrox, Odsonne Edouard and Jonny Hayes had other ideas.

Scottish football does refereeing conspiracies better than anyone else. Questioning a factual decision now to appease moonhowlers. Clubs (and fans) in this country need to grow up.

When the lines are drawn with Hawkeye it’s a factual decision though. It was a weird angle they showed but the facts are he was offside and that’s all that really matters.

They drew the lines so they had the right angle. They didn’t do that for the Saka decision. He’s clearly offside anyway

And I have no issue with the offside, it was close and assistant felt it was offside. A quick look shows it’s a tight call, just go with the assistants call and move on. Adding this bonkers image from a flat next door, just makes a mockery of the whole thing.

That’s smashing Mark they’ll just show all the evidence to Celtic and there will be no match fixing charges.

Awfy quiet this morning after them admitting it wasn’t factual and human error ???

“Weird” is something that is associated with alien abduction or ghost and that kind of phenomena not Scottish football
So your tweet is bollocks
Weirdo ?— Bernard (@BernardMelvill3) November 11, 2022
Yeah??? Conspiracy theories or simply derelict of duty? Wilful neglect??
No Conspiracy Theories about it pL when there’s plenty of evidence out there!! https://t.co/b3q5sTXyOM

There’s that phrase “moonhowler” again.
Used by a certain demographic.— Cautious Dave (@cautiousdave) November 11, 2022
I’ll say it again. Call in the LAWYERS! Fergus called it out with Farry. The evidence for criminality in Scottish Football is long and they have been covering it up for many years. The SFA, the press and the Lanarkshire refereeing cabal protect each other and make themselves unaccountable. It is time to bring them to account.
McDougall’s agenda is well known and he is part of the bigot and hatred package. Who does he think he is? He has no objective reasoning ability whatsoever and his utterances are built on his personal prejudices. That’s why he is employed where he is. The moon howling tag belongs to him and he should be embarrassed by his attempt to shut down discussion.
var is good for football but in scotland the system is having problems in some matches??.var has been working in the epl europe etc for a few years now you would think the sfa would have taken note and understanding any problems which could occur in the spl or is it just bent officals.
It’s easy to talk about moon howlers when the team you support haven’t had a VAR decision go against them
‘…and plenty given in their favour’.
I think you meant to add this.
