Celtic Set to Go to War With SFA; Incredible 48 Hours.
In defense of their manager Brendan Rodgers, the Celtic board is getting ready to fight the SFA after the Irishman was charged for remarks he made during a terrible day of officiating at Tynecastle.
The hearing is set to take place an astounding 25 days after Rodgers’ remarks following Celtic’s Sunday loss at Tynecastle, which prevented the Hoops from regaining first position after Rangers’ Saturday point loss to Motherwell.
After an odd VAR intervention early in the first half, Celtic were down to ten men. Yang, a Celtic winger, was given a yellow card by on-field referee Don Robertson for a high boot. But after John Beaton and VAR intervened, the player was dismissed for “serious foul play.” Tuesday, TWO days after the match, the fast track appeal was heard and upheld.
CeltsAreHere is aware that the club’s administration is furious about how the appeal was handled and the false information regarding Yang and Cochrane’s communication, which caused the appeal to be dismissed. Images from the instant following the ruling reveal that, despite the Hearts player collapsing to the ground and clutching his face, Cochrane’s face was not injured by Yang’s boot.
During another amazing John Beaton VAR intervention in the same game, Celtic gave up a ludicrous penalty. Once more, the infield referee failed to make a glaringly obvious mistake that would have allowed for any kind of intervention.
This prompted Rogers to make remarks that questioned the qualifications of the referees, particularly John Beaton.
Rogers stated on Sky Sports following the game, “I never like to comment on officials.” That’s not what I do. We lost today because of it, but I’ve stood here long enough. the person conducting. That was incredibly bad, from John Beaton in VAR to the players on the field.
“It appears dangerous if you put the still from the red card incident there, but that is not how the move actually happened.” There isn’t any force present. The sphere has materialized. Alright, if a reservation is made, it is made. But to lose to eleven men with it was incredibly disheartening.
“But to be hit with the punishment for us. That was even worse, wow. When you rewatch the incident, Tommo [Iwata] leaps and starts to descend. He’s not looking, and after being pushed a little, he extends his arm. In the event that it is a penalty, there will be penalties in every game and every week of the match as a result.
That the decisions made are utterly startling, and I am incredibly upset. Two for the fans and one for the players. We suddenly find ourselves trailing the game after giving up a bad penalty and going down a man.
We are aware that the club, which is also displeased with the hearing’s late March date, has viewed the accusation against Rodgers with extreme contempt.
The SFA is laying up a plan for them to fire the Celtic manager and have him watch a crucial match against Rangers on April 7th from the stands. It’s all a little too easy.
