Anyone able to explain why this wasn't a penalty yesterday?

Tierney arm clearly away from his body and strikes the hand to stop the attack/cross, doesnt really matter how close because its in an unnatural position imo

Genuinely not seen a single mention of it at the time or in the aftermath so i assume there's another angle or something that suggests its not?

Very much not dissimiliar for the one we concede vs st mirren

This is basically the phase of play before their goal too, we dont get the ball back between here and them scoring

  1. Something something natural position therefore its not clear and obvious.
    hilarious that if this was the other way around I bet celtic would be getting the penalty.

  2. VAR would have looked at it and given they didn’t even pause the game for a second over it in guessing a different camera angle shows it’s cone off his foot or hit him above the t-shirt line.

  3. Did Sky even show a replay of that from another angle? They normally do for that type of handball shout.

  4. I shouted for it during the match, waited for a reply, no reply during that first half anyway, don’t know about during HT because I was having a pie out the back. After the match I checked to see who the VAR was for the match, Kevin Clancy. Now, we all know they don’t like VAR because of the Penalty to Rangers period where we were getting a few penalties, mostly in Europe if I remember correctly, so how do they shut that down without getting rid of VAR? Put someone in charge who can deny them, step forward Kevin Clancy.

  5. Doesn’t look loke our players even called for it, so proabbly hit his leg rather than hand

  6. I watched the full 90 mins today to see what I had missed from being there

    Do you know what really boiled my piss.

    Talking utter shite and saying our players were being naughty with tackles and “getting away with it” etc over routine fouls / yellow card offences

    You’d never hear Sutton spout that stuff towards Celtic players, even if it was the most blatant thing ever.

  7. It’s really hard to tell from this angle but I think at worst it hit his leg then his hand, in the frames between the ball flying and where it would’ve hit the hand the ball seems to drop from its initial trajectory

  8. Think it’s quite clear it doesn’t hit his arm considering neither Gassama or Fernandez even remotely appeal for it.

    Nah that comes under SPFL rule 13.6 if there is an obvious penalty to Rangers at the Paedodome then disregard
