‘Only at Ibrox’ ‘No penalty’ ‘Only in Scotland’ Celtic TV Gerry tip toes towards Silva penalty controversy

After the penalty controversies of Ibrox on Sunday Gerry McCulloch took to Twitter last night to gain some attention.

During last night’s Champions League tie between Arsenal and Bayern Munich the homeside had penalty claims waved away in the closing minutes when Bukayo Saka initiated contact with Manuel Neuer then tumbled to the ground.

It wasn’t identical to the theatrics of Fabio Silva at Ibrox on Sunday but there were similarities.

Unfortunately for Arsenal the match referee isn’t a regular in The Gooners Bar in Finsbury Park, the VAR official won’t be working on the fitness of the kids in the Arsenal Academy this week.

No penalty was awarded.

But there was contact and the attacker went down, so that means penalty. No? https://t.co/qopu2HqaG6

The tweet above is typical of those involved inside Celtic, daring to get attention without having the guts to say or do anything meaningful.

There is no mention of the Silva penalty controversy on the Celtic website, rather than going public with concerns over issues from Sunday’s match club spokesman Iain Jamieson remains nameless as he hands comments to his friends at the Daily Record and Sun newspapers.

Before his move to Celtic in 2017 McCulloch hosted Super Scoreboard on Radio Clyde where he was an active backer of the toxic O** F*** brand, any called mentioning the S word (Sevco) on the phone in suddenly found the line dropping.

Saka kicked goalie instead of scoring. No penalty. Good referee.

Only at ibrox in the away teams box when the home team need a goal to get back in the game.
