the goal was onside and it was a penalty - the key decisions happened in the two Motherwell games
hearts ran out of midfielders after beni baningame went off injured - that left devlin who’s just back from injury and wasn’t fit both injury wise and fitness wise- Spittal has been playing well but his strengths are being the additional creative midfielder rather than chasing around as a spoiler Interestingly hearts were written- off by Celtic fans then they celebrated like they had won the champions league - assuming they try to assault the opposition players when they win the champions league  |

the Hibs fans reaction was understandable but the reality is hearts have just split the OF and qualified for the champions league - although is long odds they get through multiple qualifying rounds
they’ve also done that on the back of only 2 january windows and 1 summer window under Tony bloom recruitment thing - even allowing for OF having poor season hearts have improved more than almost everyone expected |

Celtic beat the other three top four teams the last week. Hearts couldn't match that. Hearts away form probably let them down. On the game itself the manager was at pains beforehand to tell everyone they were going for the win. Bar set pieces it was clear they were playing for a draw. Even the free at the end was shocking when you think it was probably Scales on his own gonna have to try take care of anything that was launched in. All of that was Hearts own fault and nobody else's. Putting the players straight on the bus afterwards was unnecessary but its no surprise from the manager. There's disappointment and then there's his hatred. Hope he's still feeling the pain.

I think the same happened at Motherwell scored the penalty pitch invasion and game ended
hearts were done and had no chance of scoring two goals imo but thought the same when Scotland played Norway - took them 30 seconds in ball time to score two peaches despite playing particularly poorly in the rest of the game Maybe the ref could have said at Motherwell at 2-2 with Celtic I just blew up early as I couldn’t see anyone scoring or back in the day when Celtic lost the league in the last minute at Motherwell the ref could have just said ah I couldn’t see Motherwell scoring twice so I just ended the game but of course that’s not the rules |

Celtic won the league because ultimately Hearts have a wage bill that's 80% less than what Celtics is.
That and Hearts being in the embryonic stage of their drive towards the top under Bloom. They left the ground promptly after their players were verbally and physically threatened following the pitch invasion. |

hearts main set piece targets are mcentee magnusson and halkett - all injured Findlay is good too but not as effective as the only target - hearts main weapons of physicality and set pieces greatly reduced - allowing shankland to sneak in at the back post was a shocker
if mcinnes was playing for a draw he would have played an extra midfielder instead of kabore (braga only fit for a few minutes) he also wouldn’t have brought on attacking players like chesnokov when he had more defensive options still sitting on the bench Celtic won 9 out of their last 10 games so deserve to win the league but the decisions at Motherwell definitely had an affect on the outcome - and the people who claim a dodgy decision on game 4 is the same as the 3rd last game are pretty clueless imo - like a jockey losing a stirrup and becoming unbalanced at fence one it’s plenty time to recover or 3m later at the last fence in a driving finish clearly not the same |

After the players were attacked on the pitch and ushered off by the police they were hardly going to hang about in that atmosphere were they. It was bedlam and neither the referee, security or the police had control over what was going on so just as well they got out of there. |

Shrewd I keep hearing about these assaults on players but have yet to see any evidence. One Sky video shows Shankland having a go st a fan. Now the fans shouldn't have been there in the first place, thsts a given, but saying something under the disappointing end for them and seeing it are totally different. Did McInnes think the fans were gonna invade the dressing room? Of course not.

If thats what theyre talking about pretty dubious 'assault'. Again fan shouldn't have been there but if someone grabbed my phone and started stamping on it I wouldn't just stand there watching.

That’s not Shankland so obviously that isn’t what we are talking about.
If someone ran up to me though and had their phone a foot from my face I wouldn’t just stand there watching. |

For a small league, it serves up some controversy. And before anyone asks, I do support a team in the SPL, reality though, it is a small league as the money is not there. The Setanta drama did not help. More this year has been spoken about incidents than play. It is a real shame.

the phone incident looks like maybe Kent - the shankland video was clearly a defensive pre-emptive strike
good videos |

Shrewd is the second video there not the Shankland one? If there's another one then fair enough.
