Have a wee read of this for a giggle from our friends across the road.

"24 Feb 2026 18:37:47
Trusty red card not reminded, first piece of the jigsaw has been put in place the other piece is Beaton and McLean being appointed for Sevco game and lastly guaranteed penalty and red card incoming. Every former referee have said it not red, obviously the appeal panel loaded as well.


They call us paranoid, just look at both Beaton and McLeans previous games absolutely anti their team Sevco. CORRUPTION on a National scale."

Bonkers or what🤯😳😭

24 Feb 2026 19:24:20
You can't argue with stupid, mate. I hate even debating football with them, as you never get any sense.

24 Feb 2026 19:27:20
It was a red, and was never going to be rescinded, and a lot of Celtic fans have said so, but they are always cheated, and most believe this one way or another. If we gub them on Sunday, the meltdown will be nuclear.

24 Feb 2026 19:36:41
See McGinn bringing up an incident with Chermiti on Sunday as similar, but maybe not as aggressive or with the same force. I thought Trusty got the card for the aggression he showed, so what is McGinn on about? Honestly, do the fans of that mob think before opening their mouths.

24 Feb 2026 20:13:39
Fork, it is just an example of the irrationality of their fans. But we have a thread on here claiming the refs will be biased against us. It is truly scary, as both can't be right. It is a conspiracy. 🤷

24 Feb 2026 20:19:25
It's bonkers. We're bad at times, but they are off the scale. It'll be a full attack on the officials all the way up to both games, as is evident up there. ⬆️ ⬆️ 👍

24 Feb 2026 22:17:38
Some of our fans just as bad as theirs.

24 Feb 2026 22:23:57
I hope refs and officials stay away from social media, and the clubs seem to be quiet about the stirring up at the moment. Their board is more worried about the internal strife than outside influence at the moment. Funny, as Mon is always quite measured when speaking, and I think we need that from inside both clubs.

24 Feb 2026 23:40:38
Not sure what refs they're speaking about either. Ally on Talksport defending him, and the ref said it was a clear red.

25 Feb 2026 07:26:22
The Entitled are losing the plot. 🕰️ 🕰️ 💣

24 Feb 2026 18:10:48
Celtic lose Trusty appeal. Banned for 3 games.

24 Feb 2026 18:28:03
Infamy, infamy, they've all got it. Beware the Ides of March. 😇😉🤣

24 Feb 2026 18:30:35
Additional for the earlier sending off, as well as 2 for this one. Good to see they did reverse the St Mirren player's sending off, which was ridiculous.

24 Feb 2026 18:36:28
Somebody stole an infamy. 🤔😳

24 Feb 2026 20:15:56
Et tu, Brute?

24 Feb 2026 20:38:21
Cultri nihil. 💀 😉

24 Feb 2026 22:26:02
The pen is always mightier than the sword, so your alibi is flawed. 😉

25 Feb 2026 06:13:58
"I once saw him kill 3 men in a bar, with a f****** pencil." 😄 I digress. 😉 👍 Well, it is a writing implement.

25 Feb 2026 08:36:44
Love those films. Watched Ballerina recently, which was the spin-off. Not bad either, imo, but I do like that genre.

25 Feb 2026 09:16:34
Same here, bud, silly but enjoyable, liked Ballerina too. 👍👍

25 Feb 2026 10:16:13
Like a film where you don't need to think a lot, which obviously comes naturally. 🤷

25 Feb 2026 11:33:21
Lol. The less Reeves says, the better his films usually are.

24 Feb 2026 18:04:50
Trusty red card upheld, why they even tried to appeal that is beyond me. The force involved was completely different to just knocking someone's hand away.

At least Butland won't be getting kicked in the head again anytime soon :)

24 Feb 2026 22:27:49
Amo, you just pointed out the reason why they made the two decisions they did: level of force. A subjective decision which is why everyone sees it differently.

24 Feb 2026 17:18:01
Celtic appealing trusty red card does this mean he's available until the appeals desicion?

24 Feb 2026 17:59:18
Yes, Davie, that is correct, but it is fast tracked and the decision is made before their next game.

24 Feb 2026 18:12:04
Doesn't matter anyway, as the appeal has been thrown out.
Rightly so.

24 Feb 2026 19:26:20
A few on here want him to play, as they don't rate him, but for me, it's another 6ft + player less to win headers at our set pieces. I expect us to dominate that part of the game, and get us the win. Who's replacing him? Tierney, CB?

24 Feb 2026 19:46:59
Think it will be Arthur, BigDado. Think he's taller, mate. I'd prefer Trusty, without knowing anything about Arthur.

24 Feb 2026 20:16:54
Dane Murray is another option.

25 Feb 2026 15:17:10
Know nothing about him either, Angus. Still rather it was Trusty.

24 Feb 2026 16:19:01
Meltdown at the referee appointments across the way.

24 Feb 2026 18:39:37
Fork, need to blame something, mate.

24 Feb 2026 18:58:01
Yup, masters of the poor us, bud. 👍

24 Feb 2026 10:14:19
Taking off the blue tinted specs for a moment.

Is the Trusty offence a definite red?
Will it be overturned today?

Imo, if it is overturned then they are as well scrapping VAR

24 Feb 2026 10:27:34
It won't be overturned, I'd like it overturned, but that's only because he's not a very good cb.

24 Feb 2026 10:49:10
I always try to look at these situations objectively by asking how I'd feel if the decision went against my own team. While the red card initially seemed harsh, it's understandable under the laws of the game.

The level of aggression went beyond the normal reaction to a standard shirt-pull. I expect the ban to be upheld; otherwise, it sends a message that players can get away with that kind of force.

24 Feb 2026 11:35:14
They won't overturn it. He's got away with a few incidents in the season, and lashes out stupidly. I don't think it should be a red, but common sense and the laws of the game do not go hand in hand. I really couldn't care less if he played on Sunday.

24 Feb 2026 11:50:23
At the end of the day, he punched a player. It shouldn't matter if it was in the arm.
Something needs to be done about the holding and shirt pulling at corners in every game. It's at ridiculous levels.

24 Feb 2026 12:39:56
Did u watch the Everton game last night? The carry on at the corners was laughable.

24 Feb 2026 14:26:41
Fork didn't see it, but down south they have changed the interpretation on the way refs look at it. So, it is a foul, but only given based on the severity and whether it directly impacts the player's ability to play the ball.


My mate and I were talking about it, and said when we played we never even thought about pulling shirts. Now it happens all the time, and it is almost wrestling at times, with nothing given.

24 Feb 2026 14:52:54
Seriously, Everton had 10 or 11 corners. You need to have a look. It's criminal that it kept happening; it was chaos.

24 Feb 2026 15:41:22
He swung and punched the guy's arm. Can't see it as anything but a red. It wasn't the usual pushing and shoving.

24 Feb 2026 15:42:50
Maybe trusty should have just kicked his head

24 Feb 2026 17:57:47
Correct, Robbieg69. You'd think he would have learned. 😉😉

24 Feb 2026 19:16:41
I thought the Everton game was WWE, with the number of guys wrestling in the back of the net. It was noticeable that there was not so much pushing and shoving in European ties when EPL teams were involved.

25 Feb 2026 11:34:04
Was bonkers, Shanksi. 🤯

24 Feb 2026 09:29:42
Here's my theory and let's see if it works out

Think at this minute I could take a draw for this Old Firm game
I think Hearts might struggle against Aberdeen and killie are improving under McCann
And Motherwell could also take points off them

So for me a draw against the Tims and win the rest of our games see us going top of the league before split it's very doable and very possible this could be the outcome

Thoughts

24 Feb 2026 09:46:20
Lots of different permutations, bud, kinda hard to call, but I think there will be a few curve balls, but get where u come from. 👍

24 Feb 2026 10:10:22
Beating the Tims is a must win for us. Remember, we still have to go to them after the split.

24 Feb 2026 10:50:26
Stig, I agree that there are a lot of twists still to come, and can see all 3 losing and drawing games they might not be expected to.

24 Feb 2026 12:21:43
Not for me, I think it's a must win for both teams on Sunday.

24 Feb 2026 13:01:20
I hope none of our players go into the match with the thought they would take a draw.

24 Feb 2026 13:26:21
Should only be interested in three points on Sunday. Celtic is bang average. Three points is a must.

24 Feb 2026 13:57:13
We need the 3 points on Sunday. We are running out of games to catch Hearts. Our away form isn't good enough at this moment in time.

24 Feb 2026 14:40:28
Three points are a must on Sunday. Mathematically, we could win every game and still not win the league (very doubtful). The damage to the 3rd place team if we win is huge, though. Grab the popcorn for the civil war in the East End.

24 Feb 2026 15:42:50
I think we need the win at home. There are too many away games after the split to afford slipping up at home against them.

24 Feb 2026 16:29:54
Livingston are below bang average, and we couldn't beat them. If we defend as badly against Celtic, they will beat us.

24 Feb 2026 17:33:30
Celtic is bang average. If we play like we did against Hearts, we will beat them very easily.

24 Feb 2026 22:20:51
A point is not acceptable against them this weekend, and if we draw or lose, we have no chance of being top before the split.

23 Feb 2026 11:53:48
Tom Miller had the points in the bag before kick off. I hope he's not picking that up behind the scenes.

23 Feb 2026 16:31:50
One of the highlights of a very poor Sunday afternoon was listening to Miller trying to say
Massachusetts at half time.

24 Feb 2026 19:15:49
I liked when Tom Miller said even a 97th min winner would be great today. I sensed a wee bit of sarcasm in there.

24 Feb 2026 22:21:19
Laudrup, I have never liked anything he has said.

22 Feb 2026 20:56:24
Looking at some of decisions by refs/Var over weekend games it hard to defend them, no way is it dias. it is just down to fact they are very poor, the sending off in St Mirren game really sums it up, but Motherwell player should be ashamed of his self. nothing more than cheating. Should be retrospective action taken against him but will never happen.

23 Feb 2026 08:25:34
I just looked at the St Mirren one, and that was poor. I doubt the Motherwell player will be hauled up, but should be. How VAR thought that was anything other than negligible contact is beyond me as well.

23 Feb 2026 12:22:12
The Motherwell player should hang his head in shame.

23 Feb 2026 13:28:59
He should, but why has VAR not picked up the fact there was no contact? Is it still considered a violent act? Can anybody clarify?

23 Feb 2026 13:32:03
I've just checked it:

'Attempted strike: The laws state that a player is sent off for "striking or attempting to strike an opponent".'

Even though no contact is made, it is still a red card, but the Motherwell player reaction is embarrassing.

23 Feb 2026 18:02:20
Attempting to strike an opponent. Really, it was a shrug at best. Every corner would have ten red cards if that was the case.

23 Feb 2026 18:08:32
JFM, Contact doesn't need to be made, but they do need to look at whether the contact was negligible. Wording is:

Deliberately striking an opponent on the head or face with the hand or arm, when not challenging for the ball, is considered violent conduct unless the force used is negligible. Violent conduct is a sending off.

24 Feb 2026 14:42:19
If that is not overturned, turn the lights off. Motherwell boy should be embarrassed.

24 Feb 2026 20:18:50
Overturned, so all is well with the world. 👍
