Apparently Glass is a top lad !!

Conor has received a full pardon from Joe who has eulogized the man, his leadership character and his football genius.
 In Joe's eyes, Conor accepted Joe's criticism as a challenge to overcome and bury his inadequacies.

I hope we don't have to tell Benny a third time about the Aberdeen game.

Post split fixtures not out yet. Aberdeen away next weekend is the last - should concentrate the minds!

Cup semi finals are at a neutral venue, it should be Hampden.
I think Celtic will have 3 home games out of the 5 split games and Rangers will have 2 homes games.

As far as I was concerned, Celtic were favorites to win the title  before this result. Rodgers has the special voodoo when it comes to Rangers.

'Butchered' is an understatement.

Dis Clement even shake the hand of the Dundee manager before he scarpered down the tunnel?

Unlikely , as they were playing Ross County .

Hmm, I see they have to play Dundee midweek

That's a real 'Welcome to Scotland' for Phillipe Clement.
He thought his team could walk on water - even Dundee water

First penalty given, it did look like a hand ball.

 Rangers might will need 3 penalties, I don't think this ref would give them.

The hand of God is not with them.

Tuchel seems very annoyed about this call Bayern didn't get!

Tuchel: "What makes us really angry is the explanation on the field. He told our players that it's a kids mistake and he will not give a penalty like this in a quarter-final."

Yeah that's what it looked like.

100% Penalty - Referee and even more so VAR bottled it!

Like the mistake a Spurs goalie made from a throw in when touching the ball in a failed attempt to trap it before it trickled into the net. A kid´s mistake for sure:

Saka up to his usual tricks, the ref got it spot on.

The only thing from a Monaghan point of view about yesterday's result is the added inconvenience for Tyrone.

"In December 2023, public sector jobs as a proportion of the population were 11.7%, which compares to 8.8% for the UK as a whole."
So,what do these extra people do?

Very little.

Those are the 2nd level teachers.  Nurses & Doctors should not be jammed  in alongside that lot of wasters.

Well deserved  for Cavan, the only criticism I'd have is that the game should have been in their bag long before their second goal. Dreadful lifeless  performance by Monaghan and management.

Celtic need to call out Beaton and his officiatating.  Very poor but not unexpected. A no penalty given to get them in the game. I knew he'd give them a gift of a penalty. Celtic need to call that out.

In saying that, Celtic being 2-0 up and 3-2 up in injury time and giving up the draw is poor.

Disappointing but league still in Celtic's hands. No more slip ups. Know what is at stake now in terms of winning all the games.

Beaton made the correct call at first and he was just a few paces away from it. But he didn't have any choice when VAR intervened. Var repeatedly showed the incident from only one angle  and only from after the touch by Johnston. What the ref didn't see on the VAR replay was Johnston's outstretched leg shifted the ball away and that's what Silva ran into and dived in an obvious simulation.

In general the ref did well but he did choose to miss 3 or 4 yellow card fouls for Rangers players
