The defence case has to be cast-iron now, and no way can the ban be upheld: 1. Boyce's intervention on behalf of FIFA stating that it is wrong. 2. Smith - former SFA Chief Executive stating it is wrong. 3. Copious examples of similar incidents that have not been acted on (presumably the lawyers are busy collating a mass of video evidence). 4. The absolute impossibility of proving intentionality when the ball is headed from around a yard away and Josh has his eyes closed. If the SFA pander to Celtic and uphold the ban in these circumstances they will become a global laughing stock. Of course, Celtic could raise their reputation a little out of the sewer over this by writing to the SFA requesting the ban be lifted - but that's probably too much to hope for.

Stay strong Josh! A whole nation supports you. A whole nation is watching Celtic slide further into the gutter.

Hope we beat them at Parkhead last game of the season with a 'Maradona special' from Josh, giving Aberdeen the league title

'Officials get penalty shout wrong' - shock horror. Never seen that happen before !

Will they also be writing to the OED to gain an understanding of the phrase "gracious in defeat"? And also the meaning of 'first and foremost' which it appears they use to describe their third statement. What a miserable rancid bigoted club Celtic are. Not content with having the budget of the rest of the SPL clubs put together, and so having an automatic ticket to the Champions League every year, they have to whinge and whine when they get beaten by a better team, which we definitely were yesterday. I wish they'd f*** off to the English premiership, where they'd get relegated first year in.

Had a few trebles tonight.... Happy, happy, happy

We would not be in 3rd place now, if it were not for Watkins. He got the goals when Billy dried up earlier in the season., he filled in for Billy when he left - in an unfamiliar position and kept things going when we had no striker available. Yes, he's dropped off the pace recently - as everyone else has, it's been a long season - but he's a specialist winger who has been playing as a lone striker! We will miss him if he goes, and it's no surprise to me that clubs are coming in for him.

Well done lads - great response from the whole team. Get well soon Deano

Watkins has shown that he can adapt to the striker role, but his forte is obviously as a winger, but it's the tactics that have failed - the lone striker system is just not working. It is much too easy to defend against, especially for the likes of Aberdeen or Celtic.

I'll walk 400 miles

Big congratulations to Ryan and family for international honours and player of the month

Any idea when we will know the date and time?? Why aren't these things fixed? Are they waiting for the result of the Celtic/Dundee Utd. replay? Why are the SFA so useless?

Yeah - well done Raith Rovers TV. Good club and good fans. The game wasn't helped by the pitch, which was a reason so many chances went begging.

useless shower of sh*te... Green light for blatant cheating.

1-1 - Well done Eddie! Let's have another now...

Yes - best of luck to Edward

and to hide the knuckle-dusters

D D is absolutely right - cheating is cheating, and I would like to see the SFA focus on what Ciftci does for an entire game - trying to get players sent off, elbows, short-arm jabs to the back of the head etc. etc. If they did, they would take the view that a ban to the end of the season wouldn't be long enough. The fact that the management seem to condone it, tells you everything you need to know about Dundee Utd.

Sounded like a cracker. But if you score 3 at home you expect to win!

Agree with that. Everyone assumes a one-on-one should be a certain goal, but keepers train for them as well! Watkins movement and pace is creating the chances, and his finishing is bound to improve.

Superb! well done lads. Good day for us with Killie result

Happy with that
