The most controversial incident that happened in the game was Callum McGregor's handball on the line denying a clear goal and would also resulted in a red card.

The Media set the agenda, the agenda is to get Morelos hence why the BBC didn't go after Brown's challenge on Candeias, his elbow on Arfield or the blatent McGregor handball.

If it was the most "Controversial" incident, then by definition more people would be speaking about it, pundits and fans alike than the Morelos incidents. No one (apart from Rangers fans) is speaking about it because it was not deliberate and therefore not a penalty.

It's really that simple.

As for Brown's challenge on Candelas, Broon won the ball.

Deliberate as he leaned towards the ball.

Brown could've broken Candeias leg regardless if he won the ball.

Ryan Jack got sent off vs Aberdeen last season for the follow through from a tackle.

You really are a bundle of inconsistencies then I'd expect nothing else from a Jump the Dyke Hun.

Calum MacGregor may have handled the ball deliberately, no one can prove it either way, and as far as I'm aware John Beaton never said he saw it... and allowed play to continue. Unlike the Morelos incidents which Beaton has admitted he did see and waved play on anyway, without even a word of warning in El Duffalo's ear. That's why Beaton's performance is controversial

Widely lauded during the game and afterwards for his performance, Brentan approaches Beaton after the game and says 'good game'.

It was only after the dust settled where taigs eyes and ears go into full bad loser mode and started listening for o'fensive songs and events.

Independent Nigel refs looked at it on SSN and BT and both agreed that the Ralston one should have been a yellow at worst but BHEAST will be BHEASTS.

Brendan is hardly likely to berate a Ref win lose or draw, I've never seen it happen and besides, maybe he did think Beaton had a good game but then of course he wasn't blessed with the view the ref had nor the numerous replays we've seen.

Each of Morelos fouls was worthy of a yellow at least, that Beaton considered none of these worthy of even a word of caution is the question Celtic have raised. The SFA squirrels have been launched though, Ref strikes, alleged threats to Beaton, it's "Dougie Dougie gate" pt 2.

Actual referees and professionals have rubbished the BHEAST opinion that all Alfredo actions were worthy of cautions but the stoned internet scudbook says differently.
 
Dermot Gallacher, Steven Thomson, Peter Walton off the top of my head.

Total non-incidents only getting air time because BHEASTs are bad losers.

Strachan hits the nail on the head ...

People who are successful talk about managers who drive them to the top, getting the most out of them.

“The ones that fail are the ones who say they got bullied. There’s a correlation between allegations of bullying and failure.

“I rarely see people who are successful and winning things come out and say they’re being bullied.”

As a man, if you can be bullied then you are of no use to anyone. This I have found to be true in all walks of life, it's what Darwin would have called the survival of the fittest.
