Radio presenter Ewan Cameron has been outspoken in recent days, claiming that the ball was clearly out before Alistair Johnston’s cross for Daizen Maeda’s disallowed goal at Easter Road. He even took aim at CeltsAreHere for challenging the lack of conclusive evidence.
However, it seems Cameron’s past tweets have come back to haunt him.
Two years ago, he was on Twitter saying that it’s impossible to prove a ball on a ridiculously similar situation is out because camera angles are deceptive. His exact words? “If not conclusive then it has to be a goal. Stop trying to find ways to rule goals out.”
The angle posted by Darren is laughable and he knows it.
The angle from the other side looks in to me

The debate about the ball being in or out is not the issue.
The big issue for me is was there a foul on Gabriel? Did the ball strike Joelintons arm? Was Gordon offside?

It’s a remarkable change of tune, but it seems the only difference this time is that Celtic were the team affected. Funny that.
So what’s changed, Ewan? Why the sudden confidence in inconclusive images? Is it because it doesn’t suit the narrative when Celtic are on the receiving end of a dubious VAR call?
Celtic are calling on the SFA to show the images that Alan Muir looked at and took a guess that the ball was out. CeltsAreHere revealed this on Monday morning before Rodgers confirmed that discussions were ongoing during his press conference.
The inconsistency from some pundits and commentators on VAR decisions is extremely frustrating. Scottish football fans need to rally together and challenge this Poundland VAR.
If there’s no definitive evidence, the goal should have stood. Just like Cameron himself once argued.
