The SFA have released the audio from Celtic v Hearts which shows referee Don Robertson tell the VAR room that #HMFC are “happy” for the game to finish. The ref then ended the match on 98mins and 7secs - over the additional 8mins of added time. youtu.be/XIIWKE-g4IU

Warmth and happiness as they sing the praises of Martin O’Neill and the job he has done at Celtic to win the title. Try finding similar content in Scotland.

I understand the emotion around a huge penalty decision in a massive game. Football does that to people. But at some point emotion has to give way to evidence. When freeze frames, angles and clear contact are sitting right in front of us, denying it because it doesn’t suit your team or narrative just kills any honest debate. What’s even worse is when professionals and pundits, who know the game inside out, deliberately drive a narrative to suit an agenda rather than analyse what’s actually in front of them. That only fuels tribalism and misinformation. You can debate consistency. You can debate interpretation. But you can’t just ignore unrefutable evidence because it’s inconvenient. Football discussion is far better when honesty matters more than point scoring.

I have contacted SNP leader John Swinney and Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth to congratulate them on their enormous mandates. For the first time ever, there could be three pro-independence First Ministers across these islands. More and more people are looking towards a future beyond the constraints of the Union. I look forward to continuing to build the friendship between the people of our nations, and to working closely with both John and Rhun in the time ahead.

25 years of overhitting a squash ball, but at 47 the ball bursting mid match feels like finding out I'm about to have another baby... #timeforgolf #done #donthaveitinmeanymore

I have met him once and you are correct, Michael Nicholson has no presence, vision or ambition whatsoever. He may have been a decent club lawyer but he was a novice with absolutely no track record when we appointed him as CEO. A rookie who has stumbled from one disaster to the next, aided and abetted by his partner in crime, CFO Chris McKay. He has presided over three failed transfer windows on the bounce. The one before that, we overpaid for Engels, Trusty & Idah due to the absence of any kind of negotiating ability. The deal for Idah, in particular, was enough for Nicholson to come under serious scrutiny. When we brought him in on loan, Norwich had been in negotiations with Hellas Verona with an option to buy of £3.5m. We brought him in with no option, and you know the rest. Nicholson had oversight of Tisdale’s appointment, failing to replace Kyogo or Kuhn, losing out on Champions League football to Kairat, banning the ultras and fan media, Rodgers’ messy departure, allowing O’Neill to leave prior to three huge games, the Nancy debacle, and continued transfer window failures. Not to mention the relationships with agents and other clubs that have been destroyed, leading to more difficulties in future transfer windows. Michael Nicholson’s tenure as CEO of Celtic has been an unmitigated disaster and he should be relieved of his duties at the first opportunity.
