Sky Sports have put together an incredible highlights package from Celtic’s 3-1 win over Motherwell.
It seems like the Kris Boyd influence is heavily involved as Celtic piled the title pressure onto Hearts.
Given 3 minutes and 50 seconds to showcase a match between two of Scotland’s leading clubs Sky opted to take a keen focus on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain like the moon-howlers on Ibrox social media.
A run of the mill foul by the former Liverpool man brought a seventh minute booking.
Sky Sports opted to include a slow-motion replay to the exclusion of other highlights in the match.
The ridiculous bookings of Colby Donovan, Reo Hatate and Tony Ralston were left out.
SKY ON THE CASE OF OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN
In the 44th minute Motherwell were awarded a free kick 25 yards from goal after Oxlade-Chamberlain pulled out of a tackle.
A replay was shown of the so-called foul. To the exclusion of showing the outcome of the free kick.
Early in the second half Sky decided to highlight, with slow motion Tawanda Maswanhise falling to the ground as the ball bounced through to Vil Sinisalo.
The maddies watching their streams were screaming for a penalty!
The Sky package highlights one thing. John Beaton struggles to apply the Laws of the Game in Celtic matches.
The penalty incident is as clear cut as you’ll see. Emmanuel Longelo had two arms round his opened and wrested Daizen Maeda to the ground.
Beaton was perfectly place, 10 yards away and had an unobstructed view of the foul.
After a VAR review Beaton was left with no option but to award Celtic a penalty and red card Longelo.
Tomas Cvancara scored with the penalty, soon after Yang Hyun jun scored his second to seal a 3-1 victory.
With Hearts losing at Kilmarnock later in the day the gap at the top of the Premiership is down to just two points.
Lol at the ARSEHOLES in supersnoreboard last night with their NICKEL&DIME production of a so called MOAN-IN.
Since 2.pm yesterday they had been screaming like BANSHEES the phone number for punters to call in after the final whistle of the games finishing,only for there to be an issue with the MOAN lines, in total the took 3 calls 2 from Celtic fans and 1 from a Motherwell fan.
Quite a coincidence eh,the day we win getting to within 2 points of Hearts and their ohone lines are down.
There was more adverts on that NICKEL&DIME radio station after 5 o’clock last night than punters MOANING-IN.
