❓ Did VAR mistakes cost Hearts the league? Willie Collum, the SFA's Head of Refereeing, has admitted Hearts SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARDED a penalty against Motherwell at Tynecastle (the Kyziridis incident) — AND that Celtic were wrongly given a penalty against Liam Scales (the Sam Nicholson handball six minutes into added time at Fir Park). Two decisions. The final weeks of the title race.
SFA CEO Ian Maxwell has called the public reaction to John Beaton's penalty award "disgusting" — the same word Hearts manager Derek McInnes used to describe the decision itself. Beaton's personal details were leaked online after the call.
Tam McManus + Peter Martin on whether the decisions DID cost Hearts the league — and whether Maxwell's "disgusting" attack on the media reaction is the SFA dodging accountability.
