Stephen Kelly was completely shocked at one VAR decision given against Celtic yesterday
It appears that the VAR dispute surrounding Celtic has also garnered media attention outside of Canada.As we previously reported, Jeff Stelling believes that more red cards will be shown in the season’s last two Glasgow Derby games as a result of what he witnessed at Tynecastle.In addition, Chris Sutton has expressed his belief that referees are merely “guessing” when it comes to major handball calls, following the punishment of Celtic midfielder Tomoki Iwata yesterday afternoon.Stephen Kelly, a former Spurs defender, is presently in the game. The former Ireland international was completely perplexed by both of yesterday’s VAR calls, but he appeared to be particularly upset over the penalty call against Celtic’s Japanese star.Kelly remarked, “I’m not sure if you’ve seen the penalty,” to Football Daily. It’s an absurd penalty. To be honest, I have no idea how they did it.“No one in their right mind would give that as a penalty,” is how I see it.“The balls simply fell and struck him in the arm. Additionally, three players are crammed into a small space. The balls are falling, but nobody is moving in that direction.It struck his arm, which was in contact with his torso. For the life of me, I cannot comprehend how it is provided. I find it incomprehensible “And the referee goes and calls it, and they end up losing the match. However, the sending-off is one that, according to the letter of the law, may have been a high foot. “The punishment is absurd.” Even though it’s only Monday, this is all over the news, which should put pressure on the SFA to take action.Not just Celtic people are afflicted by this. Some clubs in the SPFL may have to endure poor officiating and VAR rulings, which might be the difference between relegation and European qualification.But from a Celtic perspective, this title is worth £60 million. Additionally, you would have to assume that the board would bring up the issue with the game’s governing body if the difference was a VAR or refereeing judgement that cost the team that enormous amount of money.
