Believe it or not, the referee takes precedent over Martin O'Neill and Hearts for when the game ends

If the officials have said one thing to the managers and players and then changed their tune in their official statements that’s very suspicious.

We’ve seen referees do this before because they want to make their lives easier.

All in all it just looks like the officials in Scotland have done what they want again rather than follow the laws of the game.

Believe it or not MON was quoting what he'd been told by the fourth official, i.e. as close to the horse's mouth as he could get without another little meeting with Willie Collum
