Well, well.

This result really has the masses rattled.

After Celtic’s 1-0 win over Hearts continues to dominate the Scottish football headlines, Hearts manager Robbie Nielson has come under fire from Clyde 1 Superscoreboard pundit, Hugh Keevins.

Keevins was reacting to Nielson’s claims that the reason his side don’t get the big decisions is because of the influence of the Glasgow clubs but then he seemed to insinuate bias towards Celtic from the linesman in an allegation that is likely to get him into trouble with the SFA, “No, I’m not having that, ‘It’s football in Scotland’.

“There is an insinuation there. Come out and see what you think, Robbie.

“Don’t give us all this, ‘It’s football in Scotland’.

“And then he says that the linesman saw it but didn’t put his flag up?

“Dangerous allegation to make that as well.

“No wonder he gets into trouble so often.”

Nielson does seem to be insinuating that the linesman has shown bias towards the Hoops because why else would he not raise his flag if he saw Kyogo offside?

Nielson seems to be having trouble letting this one go but didn’t seem to have too much to say on the legitimate goal Celtic got chalked off on the first game of the season when Liel Abada was wrongly ruled offside or when captain Callum McGregor was victim of an ankle high tackle that should have seen Hearts midfielder Andy Halliday see red.

It’s time to let this go.

    So the Hearts manager insinuates cheating and should be taken to task by the SFA/SPFL. A “rangers” manager calls all referees cheats was he taken to task NO. I am not a fan of Robbie Nielsen. But any manager pulled up by the SFA/SPFL for challenging decisions by referees should use Mr “Gerrard’s” comments in his defense.

    It’s all about applying reverse psychology to make sure the referees remember their instructions given at the start of the season. Stop Celtic from winning the league again.
    This was the clear directive at the start of last season, and we helped that along ourselves.
    But this season, there is a £30million pot waiting for the champions, so make no mistake where the SFA and SPFL want to be sure it goes!
    They assisted in the last corruption in Scottish football and are assisting in this one.
    This hullabaloo is all about reminding them not to take their eye off the end game.

    Referees must keep the game flowing (it’s an entertainment) but is duty bound to care for ball players and punish hatchet men!!

  • Vincent Doherty says:

    Let them waffle on, it’s the nature of their obsession. The same crew of windbags who were pissing blood at Celtic’s goal are the exact same nest of vipers who on Wednesday night were celebrating yet another dodgy penalty going the way of the Govan club.

    HH This is way over the top it is because Celtic is the team that upset SFA and the powers that run Scottish football which is shocking. Q Why were Madden and most refs not pulled up with the bad refereeing against Celtic players pure and assaults 3 players going off injured and more in the injury table, this is the prof all can see the bias injured towards Celtic, plus every game Celtic play from know will be scrutinized a lot more seeing goals chalked off for offside and more. sO HERE IS THE PROF FOR ALL TO SEE AS THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MANY MANY YEARS HH KTF
