While the SFA, Viaplay Sport and especially Don Robertson and Andrew Dallas look the other way there is an increasing focus on the stoppage time incident at Hampden yesterday that denied Aberdeen the chance of a penalty to take the League Cup Final into extra time.
Michael Stewart saw something but his colleagues Rory Hamilton and Alan Hutton had the champagne on ice to join the celebrations inside Hampden as the former Manchester United requested a look at Leighton Clarkson’s corner kick.
Referee Robertson watched it in real time, Dallas had access to multiple cameras but none of them wanted to look at Jack Butland wiping out Duk as he prepared to score from four yards out.
Duk takes a touch, then turns to shoot, is taken out by Butland, who doesn’t touch the ball. Then the carnage ensues.

The Ibrox keeper was badly caught out by the low delivery, as the ball passed him to Duk he panicked, stuck out his left leg to send the Aberdeen substitute to the deck where he was surrounded by opponents with the normally hesitant Borna Barisic leading the charge.
Robertson and Dallas allowed the incident to settle down, after a pause play restarted with a free kick awarded against Duk, presumably for doing his job and trying to score a goal in a cup final.
No Scottish referees will be involved in next summer’s European Championship Finals in Germany.

What’s the point?
Would have those nasty things you find in magazines posted to him if he gave a penalty.
No way would he risk life and limb to stop the treble…….
Yeah but that would have meant giving a penalty against the Huns and probably having to send Butland off. Apparently neither of these things is allowed when it comes to Sevco.
The game is clearly as bent as an Isis dagger in Scawlin! There are 2 sets of rules and regulations in operation in Scottish football …One for the clumpany and one other for the rest . It’s not an occasional thing any more …it’s a perpetual event in plain sight which is destroying the entire sport . It’s the governing bodies whistling as they collect their bonuses.
Aberdeen want Dallas taken off VAR duty in games involving them. What do our board say ??? Absolutely nothing . Cos we’re part of the corruption. They make me sick.
Editor: Our CEO and Chairman think it is a great laugh, top banter at the AGM.
I was gonna treat myself to some official Celtic merchandise gear for Christmas…
Well fcuk it now – it ain’t happening…
Not because of the cheating in favour of Sevco v Aberdeen –
But because Brendan was silent on the free kick that never was yet was awarded by Clancy to Sevco…
Ach well – A good piss up here it comes –
Thank you Celtic FC !
I told everyone long ago the true story factually so about Dallas ! He stormed out the daziel golf club after Celtic scored against that poison putting the TV off on his way out this happened 12 years ago!! Fact and this guy it’s now in charge of var!! Giving game changing decisions in the final minutes !! That no other club ever gets such benifits , while ignoring any against his poisonous club!! Only in Brigadoon Scotland! Yet no one does a thing!! We are by miles the biggest club in that set up but lawell quite happy for ” Der Hun” to get these decisions he even joked about it at the agm! And that wasn’t the first time. Keeps the competition alive eh Scandalous!! We should all have joined the trust in the covid disgrace season and forced change and we must now!! These cretins do their cheating in plain sight!! Dallas and Beaton ( best friends by the way) openly cheat and everyone and their granny knows they are orcs!! Lawell and that board are a disgrace!
Yeah Clancy now terrified to be seen to favour us same as Collum and also both terrified to give a decision against that poison!! He only human I suppose and they both been threatened many times and plenty that aren’t even reported believe me!
But in Brigadoon Scotland that’S ok ” aw as bad as each other” eh ( bs!)hence they love the” o f” tag!! It’s allows them to their vile, weirdo behaviours while our custodians!! Do fa!! A disgrace!! Ohhh for a Fergus McCann!
