Hearts boss Derek McInnes described the decision to award Celtic a penalty against Motherwell as disgusting.
It seems that the McInnes has been ignoring multiple refereeing issues over the last month. Either that or he is fearful for Saturday, going to Celtic Park and not having Wilfried Nancy in the home dug-out.
Of course McInnes’ comments were ceased on by the media messengers.
Sky Sports and BBC Scotland had that comment on a loop throughout Thursday.
Funnily enough no media outlet will touch the FACT that Hearts haven’t had a penalty awarded against them in 37 SPFL matches. How fortunate is that?
Last month Hearts v Motherwell game just before the split.
87th minute 1-1 and Hearts are awarded a contentious penalty.
Following game Hearts v Hibs, Hibs are winning and end up getting two players sent off.

On April 11 Hearts were awarded an 87th minute penalty when a grounded Landry Kabore headed the ball, putting himself in danger. After VAR prompting Matthew MacDermid awarded a penalty.
Lawrence Shankland scored, Martin O’Neill never commented on the disgusting decision.
On April 26 Hibs had two players sent off in the Derby match against Hearts. McInnes’ side won the match 2-1.
On May 3 Celtic were next up at Easter Road. Even the KPI Panel of the SFA admitted that three on-field mistakes were made.
Don Robertson on VAR failed to step in and award Celtic a penalty when Josh Campbell pushed over Ben Nygren. Robertson also missed the double handball from Joe Newell to equalise for Hibs.
In a truly disgusting decision the SFA has put Robertson in charge of Saturday’s Celtic v Hearts, SPFL decider.
There’s always a video to prove that people like Boyd are only outraged at one thing; the prospect of Celtic winning.
Handball decision goes against Celtic: “You’ve got to trust the officials.”

Who remembers Trusty being sent off at Tynecastle for a ‘pull-back’ when he wasn’t the last man & the ball was heading away from goal?
Only time I’ve ever seen a red card given in those circumstances.
The decisions Hearts have got all season have been shocking. pic.twitter.com/8pFL0tpo5k

All the Jambos didn’t seem to have an issue with controversial decisions going in their favour here… https://t.co/jjouYGV2QU

Are we really surprised by the comments that come from the mouths of McInnes, McCoist, Boyd et al?
McInnes uses the words “disgusting and everybody is against us!”
He conveniently forgets the decisions that you highlight and that worked in their favour, to give them a chance of actually winning this title.
What is actually “disgusting” is the video of him singing about being up to his knees in F….n blood!
I wonder if he’s ever been challenged on that ?
The correct decision was made on Wednesday night, regardless of all the white noise, and it’s now up to Celtic to finish the job tomorrow and win this title! HH
Just remember, if we win the title by beating them tomorrow, it will be the two points we got at Motherwell from Iheanacho’s penalty what done it – not any of the 26 points they will have dropped in the course of 6 defeats and 8 draws. That will be the eternal narrative, just as it was the uncompetitive performance of St Mirren in 1986 rather than their own inept and limp performance at Dens Park….
I coulda been a contender…..
The usual selective memories used constantly by fu**in Prodestants Bastards like McInnes to suit their filthy agendas in all their walks of life !
