Robbie Neilson has hit out at Nick Walsh for not prompting Alan Muir into sending off Alexandro Bernabei.

Midway through the first half of last night’s defeat from Celtic Nathan Atkinson was fouled by the Celtic defender, received treatment then recovered to play the full 90 minutes despite Neilson making five substitutions.

It was a comprehensive win for the home side despite Hearts getting the benefit of the doubt with some dubious looking VAR lines allowing Josh Ginnelly to open the scoring in the sixth minute.

Before the Bernabei foul referee Alan Muir had kept his cards in his pocket despite brutal challenges from Cammy Devlin and James Hill in the early stages.

Walsh was on VAR duty last night with Radio Clyde reporting Neilson’s anger over the Bernabei incident:

To be honest I thought it was a shambles, the whole thing. First time I have ever seen no yellow card but it goes to a VAR for serious foul play.

I’m sure Alan will look at it and firstly be disappointed with his own decision but secondly that he wasn’t asked to go and look at the VAR screen because I think, if he goes and sees it, it’s maybe a different outcome.

But usually you come to Parkhead and need a decapitation before you get a red card against them. It wasn’t to be. It was nearly a leg off but if the head came off we might have got it.

For periods of the game I thought we played really well. Our shape was great, we pressed really well but the most pleasing thing was we passed the ball very well.

There were passages of play where we popped the ball through them and very rarely do you see that at Parkhead.

Walsh was on VAR duty last night, back in October Neilson had no complaints about the PE teacher when he awarded Hearts two penalties against Celtic while ignoring a clear handball when Michael Smith handled a pass from James Forrest deep inside his own penalty box.

    Another bitter wee man hiding his own teams display behind one incident. His player plays on. Madam clashes with their keeper when scoring and shortly after has to go off due to it. Should the keeper see red as it could be argued that his challenge is worse. No comment. No VAR. Instead they check our goal for offside. Joke.

    That’s the last 2 seasons sevco have gone 44 games without conceding a penalty and one of the BENNYS on FF is screaming like a banshee because we have had no bookings in our last 3 league games.

    Again this wee ? cannot except that Celtic won without trying to intimidate players or looking for favours from referee.everytime we play Hearts they try to bully us out off games ,Hill,Devlin, Atchison all took in turns to tackle late or leave there foot in.
    Funny how both him and McInnes never complain when decisions go against them when playing the Huns again on Saturday we will get the same response if we beat them.

    Well he should have been at our home game against Dundee United when a high boot went into the groin of Giakamakis. We didn’t even get a foul.

    Neilson is only trying to deflect from an extremely poor display from his team. The time wasting, aided by the referee, was shameful.
    Hearts did pop the ball about well but most of it was in their own half.

    Neilson is a greetin faced Hun bastard,he never gives Celtic any credit,wee could beat the mini Huns 10-0 and he would still say we were lucky,yet up against the real Huns him and his bitter team lie down and accept everything that sevco throw at them,he’s just a wee bitter second class Hun.

    Robbie the best thing you could do is get better players pal because that team you have right now are not good enough to beat celtic the only way yoù might is if the official gives your team a help in hand our maybe VAR helps you in some way Ròbbie because ur trying ur best to convince the ref on Saturday to send celtic players off so you can beat them in the cup thats the only chance you have ya horrible greasy bastard tramp.
