Celtic TV had their camera perfectly placed goal-side for the two stoppage time goals that sunk Dundee United in stoppage time with the microphone picking up the incredible roar that greeted Kyogo Furuhashi scoring Celtic’s third goal.
To say that the home fans are sick and tired of VAR after a fortnight would be an understatement with Nick Walsh the main target of their ire.
Two weeks ago on the pitch at Tynecastle he saw Michael Smith raise his arm to block a pass from James Forrest and waved play on.
Yesterday from the comfort of the VAR studio he spotted the ball strike the upper arm of Alexandro Bernabei from close range and suggested that David Dickinson take a look at the pitch-side VAR monitor. What happens next is inevitable.
Dundee United levelled for the second time in the 87th minute but in stoppage time this Celtic side overcame all of the odds.
Matt O’Riley’s corner was redirected by Tony Ralston with Kyogo Furuhashi timing his run perfectly to nod the ball into the far corner of the net before running directly over to O’Riley as they shared the acclaim and relief of the home supporters.
There was still time for another goal with Liel Abada escaping the Dundee United defence and VAR man Walsh to chip Celtic seven points clear at the top of the SPFL Premiership.
What a fabulous Tim portrayal, Joe. Great comment.
I can almost hear (certainly feel) the scum of Scottish media behaving, with angst, like their darlings got fukked. That’s good. Terminally good.
I HATE religion, an intentional ‘squirrel’. One only has, and should absorb, the mentally challenged right-wing supporters of Trump. Christians? I think not. Powerfull, I think yes.
Jesus Christ, if one accepts biblical terms, was a Communist/Socialist. There was no “Labour” under Bliar, just a self-seeking, easily switched (christian) baztard.
I’ll meet him one day. Blair will wish I didn’t.
