Get ready for an action-packed episode of the Get Involved Referee as we dive into the highly anticipated Glasgow derby between Rangers and Celtic. First up, we're talking about Don Robertson's Derby debut, as he stood in for the injured Willie Collum. We'll analyse his performance and discuss whether he's ready for future high-profile games. But that's not all, folks. We'll also dig deep into the John Lundstram challenge and compare it to the Graeme Shinnie challenge. Did Robertson make the right call, or was it a missed opportunity for a red card? Next on the agenda is the issue of diving in the game, with accusations flying around that Barassic was trying to con the referee. Steve has a different opinion, though. He believes that Borna Barišić caught his studs in the ground but looked for a penalty to compensate for poor play. What do you think? We'll then move on to the handball rule, which has been causing confusion among fans and referees alike. Steve Conroy confesses that he's lost track of the rule after VAR intervened and gave Inverness a penalty against Falkirk in the other Semi-Final. Meanwhile, Des argues that the decision was never a penalty. Finally, we'll wrap up the episode with a discussion on fans smuggling pyros into the grounds and the controversy surrounding Todd Cantwell's refusal to share water with Celtic player Reo Hatate. And to top it all off, we'll be making predictions on who should referee the final, with Des and Steve agreeing that John Beaton will be given the big game. Hosted on Acast.
