Re above that might come over as I'm pro the parking x zones,  I used to live on Provie Road for years and accepted where I had bought a flat that parking on Saturdays was an issue.

You either left the car or returned post game if you wanted parked.

Nobody alive has bought or moved into property that pre-dates the stadiums. 

They shouldve set aside designated bays for disabled residents or similar, a whole zone feels a bit overkill.

But residents asked, politicians backed it and it was voted through, so the council have to implement these things.
 

There’s a lot bigger problems in Dundee than football fans parking near the ground. Hopefully the council tackle them instead.

On the two handball decisions, that have got people understandably riled up.

Celtics second goal - the new IFAB rules clearly state that if a player is falling and the ball hits their supporting arm, it is not a handball UNLESS that player subsequently scores. TEK says above whether it's accidental isn't the point, and Goodwin called for common sense as it led directly to a goal. All fine but the referee has to apply the laws of the game. It's one of these that looks terrible but it was the right decision. Under the previous IFAB rules it would have been disallowed due to the ball hitting the hand of an assisting player.

Celtics handball in the box. I've watched this back loads. Another one that at first viewing looks blatant. The player lifts his arm in an unnatural position and impacts the trajectory of the ball. Not dissimilar to the penalty Celtic got v Motherwell last season. However if you slow it right down to frame by frame, there is only one point of contact, which is above the armpit (unofficially called the T-shirt line although that term within IFAB). After that it bounces up but does not actually touch any part of that arm or hand which would constitute a handball

Both decisions absolutely correct as per the laws of the game. Absolutely legitimate to ask whether the rule is fair, especially in the Celtic assist case, but it is the rule nonetheless.

Former referee Bobby Madden insisting Duran's goal should not have stood and gives a very interesting response as to why.

UEFA themselves say it shouldn't have stood.

Willie Collum has a lot of explaining to do. Particularly as one of his top referees is basically calling into question this incident.

The tic scorers of second goal lifted his shirt to reveal a message ,what did it say and why was he not booked ?

 
Living your shirt to display a message isn't in and of itself an offence. Removing the shirt or lifting it over your head is. If the message is offensive or provocative (obviously that can get quite subjective) then it would be dealt with after the game, as it is not for the referee to decide immediately as to whether a slogan is provocative or not (it could be an obscure reference, a foreign language etc)
