Sky Sports opted out of running Connor Goldson’s handball from Monday’s Glasgow derby past Dermot Gallagher.

The former EPL referee has a regular slot on Sky Sports News to review contentious refereeing issues with 30 minutes set aside this morning to go through various incidents from midweek matches.

As usual the EPL was examined in incredible detail including Everton getting awarded a late penalty in their 4-1 hammering from Brighton.

Scottish football as usual was left till last with Gallagher in no doubt that John Beaton got it right to award a penalty against Carl Starfelt. Apparently a defender that goes to ground in the penalty box has to take the ball or a penalty is awarded.

That will be news to a lot of players, Sky opted out of showing Sakala laughing and celebrating the decision from the man from Bellshill.

It seemed logical to follow that up with the Goldson handball- wrong. Next up it was over to Livingston and a penalty awarded against Motherwell.

On Sunday Sky will have a double header of Scottish football, showing Motherwell v Hibs followed by Dundee United taking on Micky Beale’s team.

    It just gets more shameful by the day. The biggest talking point of the game and sky sevco sports ignore it rotten to the core get them tae eff . Paranoid not us.

    Why do Celtic TV persist on showing only a delayed replay of the games they cover … I’m sure a lot more would love to pay to watch a live game . I can only guess it’s contractual… so hopefully maybe when the Sky deal is up for renewal we can have live games in Celtic TV , and let the rest fight for the scraps .

  • Scud Missile says:

    Lol and to think our club calling in a meeting with the bigots at Hunden is going to change things,when the TV company showing the game live don’t want to debate the incident everyone is screaming about.
    THE BIG FIX IS ON YOU ALL NEED TO PUT UP WITH AS NOTHING IS CHANGING ANYTIME SOON.

    To me it’d be a helluva STRANGE, a helluva WEIRD or either a helluva FORGIVING Celtic fan that’d pay their hard earned cash towards Sky Sports given the way the Scottish Division of That broadcasting company utterly detests Celtic FC and therefore it’s supporters as well…
