Conspiracy theories, VAR and Old Firm fans complaining about an assortment of issues from Monday's derby at Ibrox. Par for the course in a Hotline where Connor Goldson's potential handball and penalty row rumbles on.
Record Sport exclusively revealed how Parkhead chiefs are seeking talks with SFA chiefs over ongoing issues with the technology that was introduced in October with the Goldson flashpoint just the latest. Kenny Goff emailed: "Here they go again with Celtic complaining about VAR. If it's not referees, it's always something they moan about. Is it because they are the best team in Scotland but rubbish in Europe? Now they know how other clubs in Scotland feel."
George Wilson, West Sussex, emailed: "Rangers were unfortunate not to beat Celtic and the Goldson incident was a possible penalty like several other incidents, but it was cleared by VAR. These incidents are now happening every day though VAR doesn’t always seem to have helped. It’s pathetic however the constant conspiracy against Celtic theories we are hearing across the Celtic camp. I’ve heard it on the radio and read it online and in newspapers and it’s a joke."
Ralph Hamilton emailed: "So many people are ignoring the rules with the Goldson incident, when a ball is hit from close distance towards a face, the involuntary action of protecting your face is not a penalty. Let's stick to the rules Celtic, only this club and fans are always trying to change facts."
Kenny Wilson, Moffat, emailed: "Hotline caller Alfie Mullen reckons Celtic fans are running scared of Rangers. He needs to lay off the festive spirits as it's obviously scrambling his brain. What exactly are we running scared from? Even with the referee and VAR helping you, you still can’t beat us. Imagine what the score would be on a level playing field."
Ben Casey emailed: "I had to laugh after hearing Michael Beale say the draw proves Rangers are level with Celtic already. They are a long way from that. Does he really think Ange Postecoglou is going to stand still and let it happen? If he thinks they’re level, what does that make St Mirren? They did actually beat Celtic. He’s a better salesman than Del Boy."
Andrew Adams, Kirkcaldy, emailed: "Before VAR even was introduced we had supporters of a certain club moaning about it, so the dye was cast, it was a done deal they would moan about every incident going, they've won nine out of the last ten championships but still they insist everyone is against them. It's a pity they couldn't shut up for a minute but have plenty to say about VAR, they're a disgrace."
Arrin Geddes, Irvine, emailed: "Mr Mullins thinks Celtic fans are scared of Rangers and need help to win the league. Rangers can’t compete financially, can’t beat an under-par Celtic at home even with help from VAR and have a novice manager who likes the sound of his own voice. Yes Alfie, we’re having problems sleeping at night."
Ian Loudon emailed: "Just because Celtic didn’t win at Ibrox they are looking for someone to blame. They have decided to blame VAR. The truth is they were lucky to get a point."
Joe Robertson, Falkirk, emailed: "Hotline caller Gerry Milligan said after such an early goal Celtic should have gone full thrust. They did, but it was back the way."
Andrew Lamb, Fraserburgh, emailed: "It's not often I agree with Charlie Nicolas but he's spot on when he says Beale needs to dump Alfredo Morelos. It's early days but Rabbi Matondo already looks like Eros Grezda Mark II."
Alan Flett emailed: "I have to laugh when I hear managers talking about pressure. What pressure? They enjoy a lifestyle that most people can only dream about and are treated like royalty when they’re winning. Even when they’re losing, they’ve got no worries. Yes, they’ll get sacked, but they’ll also get a big juicy pay off and a nice comfy seat in the Sky Sports studio until another mug of a club owner decides to hire them."
Alan Lough, Dunbar, emailed: "In the space of four months, Cristiano Ronaldo has gone from saying he is committed to Manchester United to then saying he wanted Champions League football at the highest level. He's now saying his work in Europe is done after joining a rubbish team in a rubbish league in Saudi Arabia. What a plonker."
