I just saw the Hooper penalty incident this morning. Wasnt the nastiest challenge I have ever seen but it was a penalty.
I am sorry bhoys but to say Hooper tried to get out the way is just ridiculous. He deliberately turns into the guy and tries to impede his run. Not surprisingly the boy didnt need asked twice to go down. Putting his arms up in the air did nothing but emphasise how far he had pushed his upper body out in order to block the lad.
Loved all the interviews after the game - Big Dan, Chuck, Joe 'mumbles' Ledley - all lining up to say it was never a penalty!
Aye right.
Celtic may have an ounce of sympathy if they ever came out and gave a balanced comment about the decisions that went for them. But by just whining like this when the decision was probably 60:40 in favour of it being a penalty just makes them look like sore losers. Or drawers. You ken what I mean.
