While addressing the referees at Tynecastle, Brendan Rodgers lashed out at both John Beaton and VAR, saying, You’ve cost us.
There were several high points in the first half in the capital. Celtic was given a penalty when Alex Cochrane was found to have fouled Yang. After Zander Clark saved his effort, Adam Idah walked up and observed. A few seconds later, the two were involved in another significant incident, with Yang being sent out after a VAR review for a high boot on Cochrane. Rodgers was’very unhappy’ by that, but what really set him off was the Hearts penalty.
Don Robertson was sent to the screen for a second look after Tomoki Iwata was fined for handball. Rodgers called his decision to give the spot-kick “absolutely shocking.” After a rare weekend in which both half of the Old Firm suffered domestic defeats, the outcome keeps the title battle between Rangers and Philippe Clement as it was before both teams played this weekend. Clement and his team lead the race by two points.
After the game, Rodgers angrily said, “Listen, I want to give credit to my players as they fought from the very first whistle.” Speaking to Sky Sports. I don’t like to make remarks about officials. That’s not what I do. We lost today because of it, but I’ve stood here long enough. the person conducting. The transition from the field to John Beaton in VAR was incredibly subpar.
It appears risky to place the still on that [red card event], but that is not how the motion actually happened. There isn’t any force present. The sphere has materialised. Alright, if a reservation is made, it is made. But to lose to eleven men with it was incredibly disheartening.
“But to be hit with the punishment for us. Whoa, that was even worse. Rewatch the action; Tommo [Iwata] leaped and started to descend. His arm gets pushed out as a result of being slightly prodded while he isn’t looking. In the event that it is a penalty, there will be penalties in every game and every week of the match as a result.
that the decisions made are really startling, and I am incredibly upset. Two for the fans and one for the players. We suddenly find ourselves trailing the game after giving up a bad penalty and losing a man.
He went on, “They are not looking at the reality of the action and move,” referring to the red card incident once more. It obviously appears scary if you freeze frame what we often examine and view, but that wasn’t the case. You must consider the entire context.
“You’d have to ask John Beaton on VAR what he is saying,” he continued. He is presumably perceiving things differently than everyone else if he is claiming that the play and handball are risky. Unless, of course, you are in contact with the Hearts. They are observing an alternative game. Because they don’t understand the rules of the game, officials and referees are questioned for this reason. That isn’t how the game is seen.
