A very articulate view from Michael Stewart.

It might be articulate, but it lacks credibility because it ignores the fact that Hearts benefitted from poor officiating on many occasions over the course of the entire season.

What’s your thoughts on this @SPFLWatch? Football didn’t start a week ago.

How was this made?

@Oxladesoup88 Feel free to go through the data yourself.

@SPFLWatch Wonder what deflection tactic or excuse he’ll come up with 😂

@0LuboLubo0 @SPFLWatch Well two off the back of my mind are the Shankland goal at Ibrox where he used his arm and the nothing foul that got a goal disallowed for St Mirren that would have put them 3 - 1 up instead of a 2 - 2 draw

@0LuboLubo0 @SPFLWatch Correct and even just those two alone means Celtic would have won the league a couple of weeks ago and all this palava is pointless.

Connie McLaughlin can't wait to jump in expressing they are his views. His speech was correct until he included both Glasgow clubs......there is only 1 club benefiting continuously from decisions

When it cuts back and he’s reading it off his phone

Nearly a very good statement until he brought Rangers into it and conveniently forgot that, in the last week, they have been the victim of some of these decisions and, in the past 4 years, have been the victims of countless inexplicable decisions vs Celtic

Absolute tosh. Newell handball goal, Nygren 2 handed push out the park no penalty. Well keeper wipes out Maeda no penalty. Twice linesman rule out goals for Maeda only for VAR to have to intervene and correct them all in the last 4 games.

Funny he doesnt want to talk about hearts picking 5 out of 21 points away from home, shipping leads at ibrox and Celtic park and his captain missing an open goal from 4/5 yards out last week trying to be a smart arse and to casual. Let's talk about they facts.

It’s incredibly selective about time frame and decisions. He’s basically saying that either any refereeing decision makes a tournament invalid. If that’s the case we can cancel literally every tournament ever

He is ah bit selective ignores the fact that ah poor assistant refs offside decision would have seen Hearts win the title yesterday. How does that fit the pressure brought tae bare because of Celtics size ? Thank God for VAR getting the correct outcome once again.

Articulate BS He's turned into a right prick. That was the first penalty against Hearts in 38 games but everybody's against them? This has been an eye opener this season with the , let's say, dislike of Celtic coming through in abundance from journos, pundits and ex-players.

I cannot understand how Celtic could have two huge decisions go against them v Hibs on 3rd last game of the season while chasing Hearts if they can "exert pressure directly and indirectly that impacts decision making in a way other clubs simply cannot do".

O'Neil, watched fans run on the pitch there seen them, went in to technical area ! Yet, on @SkySportsNews @ScotlandSky He denied seeing them. Lying 🐀

John McGinn was tweeting about how shit the refs were when the sheep played Motherwell, refereeing decisions in Scotland will never improve until the officials go professional and declare who they support, you need that level of dedication and transparency to gain trust

Wow, imagine a broadcaster giving him the stage to spout his nonsense. Didn't hear him complain during season when Hearts benefited from decisions, he only wants to focus on last 2 weeks of season. Not how it works, a league us decided over 38 games.

You are a moronic moron trying to create a narrative and run with it, there is a reason you were banned and should be banned from hold a mic and talking pish. Hearts benefited the most from ref mistakes.. also the amount of mistakes that didn’t get picked up on.

How can one be a moronic moron? Surely a moron would just suffice. A second use of the adjective makes no sense 👍

Micheal Stewart.. but you are a pleb now

He’s a hurting Jambo and has clearly lost the plot.

His career as a pundit is over thanks to his views and comments this season btw bookmark this.

This us detrimental to their campaign.... every team gets affected by VAR either way, boyd said 2 weeks ago to trust the officials when VAR backed them, meada was fouled by the motherwell no pen. We've had two linesman flagging goals but clearly onside....nothing

@petera1872 Linesman is correct Maeda is off side and moves towards the ball from an offside position until he realises his teammates gets the ball then checks his run to the middle of the box and scores.

Its really not. Omitting information, cherry-picking incidents, not providing context, forcing a narrative - is propaganda.

What a complete prick ! This endless meltdown is endemic in Scottish society . All because Celtic had the balls and the endurance to fight for the title all the way. The Hearts had 3pts to play for , but they spoiled it by negative play and feigning injury .

Well said Michael, I don’t agree with him much

It's not an articulate view, it's hyperbole. Him (and you) saying the things being said is the reason fans will think there's an agenda. It's also the reason personal details of a referee were released, to the detriment of his safety. The same ref is detested by Celtic fans 🤷.

"Some of those decisions..". Yeah only the ones involving celtic in the past two or three games. Ignore the ones that impacted Celtic negatively or benefited Hearts.

May be articulate but still a load of steaming horse manure. "...not saying it a conspiracy or cheating but....two clubs can exert pressure directly and indirectly that influences ref decisions", cowardly was of saying it's a conspiracy and cheating

Ah Connie choking to get in eh ? 2 Glasgow clubs........struggling to see our influence anywhere over last few weeks

Hearts lost out because they drew 8 games and lost 6,they had ample opportunities to win it,but they didnae,it was their ane fault naebidy else's.

Michael Stewart - "I'm not saying there's a conspiracy..." Michael Stewart 15 seconds later - *alleges a conspiracy*

There is zero articulate about bringing Rangers into it. Look at every single key employee of the SPFL SFA and who put them there in preparation for the assault of 2012 and who still runs this scripted game 14 years on. A who’s who will show you, hired and approved by Celtic.

Fair and balanced. Which - sadly - doesn’t go down well with the self- entitled and whatabouteryists.

Nothing to do with Rangers he’s deleted a lot of posts on here as well because his bottles gone

Oi Stewart, don't drag Rangers into this they've been a victim of horrendous refereeing decisions all season, you know this so stop with the "Glasgow" misdirection, this only involves ONE club.

Hearts had a few decisions go their way throughout the season that were regarded as soft ..But nevertheless they had a game to win yesterday and didn't do it

You’ve used the adjective “articulate” when “hysterical”, “emotional”, or “unhinged” would be a better fit. This is the type of comment that would be cut off by @clydessb and described as one of the lunatic fringe if said by a supporter.
