It seems that every football related tweet from David Tanner has to reference a conspiracy theory.
The former Sky Sports presenter took to Twitter a couple of weeks ago to justify and explain why Celtic have had seven penalties awarded against them since VAR was introduced.
There was plenty of reaction/interaction to that tweet, since then it has been a familiar theme in his commentary on the Scottish game.
How is the mind-boggling
“VAR is anti-Celtic” conspiracy theory holding-up today?To be clear, there is no bias and there are occasional mistakes. Deal with it.
Grow up and be nice – you know who you are.#CELRAN

After today’s defeat James Tavernier and Michael Beale both claimed that Jota had used his arm in the assist for Kyogo’s second goal in the 62nd minute. Replays showed that the ball struck Jota on his lower stomach before the ball broke to Kyogo Furuhashi who buried his shot from close range.
Eleven minutes later Jota made another telling contribution, taking one touch to take the ball wide of Allan McGregor then netting with his second.
