Clydesdale Bank SPL, Wednesday 8 February 2012 - Tynecastle
Another visit to Tynecastle from Celtic. Another night of controversy. The photo above shows Stephen Elliot giving Hearts the lead after just two minutes. Well, they would have done had referee Willie Collum and his hapless assistants had any clue about what they were meant to be doing. They didn't think the ball had crossed the line. Seconds later, Scott Brown opens the scoring at the other end. Hearts fall apart and Celtic coast to an easy win.
Hearts were second best in every department and Celtic thoroughly deserved their win. But, yet again, the atmosphere at a Hearts-Celtic game was poisonous. Hatred seems to have taken over and the sectarian bile spewing out from the away end and, it has to be said, from some of the home support is quite frankly disgraceful. When will it end? Who knows...
Top man: Sadly, not one Hearts player passed muster tonight...
I saw a view from what would have been the assistants view for the 'goal' and as much as it is NO excuse for such a POOR decision, his view may have been blocked by that big Celtic erse!
ReplyDeleteBut that and then Celtic going right up the other end straight away and scoring just totally demoralised us. After that we were never in it.
As for the away end - did you see the picture of the damage taking place at the end? Where were the Police?
