It seems that Scottish football fans and pundits like Kris Boyd and Michael Stewart will never come to terms with the Laws of the Game being applied in Celtic matches.
From the glitzy TV studios to the dangerous dark corners of social media they can’t accept that Scotland’s most successful club are entitled to the same Laws as everyone else.
Most pundits simply take their opinions from the noisiest of Ibrox fans. Now given media access at Ibrox and regular platforms on BBC Scotland to legitimise their paranoia.
Boyd plays to them 90% of the time. Stewart is a recent convert.
Both have been traumatised by the decision taken at Fir Park on the evening of May 13.
Just as they thought that they were about to break free from the living nightmare of Celtic domination those pesky laws were applied.
BOYD LEADS THE MELTDOWN
Derek McInnes found it disgusting. Ally McCoist was distressed.
All because Celtic were awarded a penalty for handball from Sam Nicholson. After he had planted his elbow into Auston Trusty’s face.
It was so obvious that Andrew Dallas couldn’t ignore it. John Beaton couldn’t disagree.
Celtic got the penalty. Kelechi Iheanacho scored. Celtic won with Scottish football plunged into a depression that it’ll never recover from.
On and on they droned and moaned.

Over the summer the madness and paranoia has intensified.
The shutters are down.
It seems that Beaton and Dallas have been outed as undercover Celtic men.
What next David Dickinson and family? Steven McLean and family?
Two of the 18 SPFL Premiership referees work at Boclair Academy, the partner school of the Murray Park starlets. Step forward Nick Walsh and Grant Irvine.
There are 360 Secondary Schools in Scotland. 18 SPFL referees. Two of them in daily contact with Murray Park.
At Ibrox last week Vanja Drogojevic ran straight at Jason Kerr without looking at the ball. VAR intervened to award a penalty.
Co-commentator Stewart was outraged.
On Saturday at Tannadice Celtic’s second goal cleared a VAR check since no Laws were broken. On VAR duty Greg Aitken could have disallowed it he would have.
Studio guest Stewart was outraged.
MSP Steven Flynn was also outraged, perhaps he is looking for a gig on the Scottish media circuit after giving up his Westminster jolly serving the English monarchy.
“Celtic are the only club that benefits from handball goals, no other club gets that decision”…
Here’s a video of Joe Newell scoring a blatant handball against Celtic 2 months ago. No outcry ? pic.twitter.com/NmGtiscf65

The fact that big fake Kris Boyd and now Michael Stewart are given platforms and carte blanche to spout out their biased rants on alleged ‘neutral ‘ programmesby bosses tells it’s own story about how Celtic FC gets treated against all of the rest of Scottish football . I always thought that commentators and ‘ journalists ‘ had a moral obligation to be completely impartial especially when working in the media ? Silly me ! Fairness and honesty and integrity when commentating no longer exists …just like Boyd’s teeth and hair !
Boyd and Ally are supposed to know the rules being so called expert pundits. Maybe it’s time for them to actually read the rule book before they make comments in the future about Celtic
Ignorance & hatred.
A potent combination.
No one should forget, these very same people would happily sit and argue that Rangers are still the same club, even though they lived through it all the same as us, even though some actually wrote and commentated on it at the time, even though some of them played at that time.
So a silly wee thing like rules and how they are interpreted isn’t difficult for them to spin.
We really should be ignoring these muppets instead of validating their obviously tainted opinions.
They have been devoid of any real success for so long now they are just the same as every other dyed in the wool bluenose hater, they can’t figure out why they aren’t winning so we must be cheating.
Even though there only ever had been one team that was proven beyond all doubt to be cheats.
We should all just enjoy their pain, sit back and lap it up, unfortunately it won’t last forever, but we haven’t half had a good run eh?
Could the argument be that Høgh hit the ball with his hand as he was being bundled over off the ball in the penalty area ? Could it therefore be argued that we should have been awarded a penalty ?
Paul Mac @ 6.21pm…
That is the absolute TRUTH from yourself buddy…
Something (Truth) that will never be told by the PATHOLOGICAL LIARS of The Scummy Scottish Football Media !
