TWEET: A Scottish police station’s brilliant post about Scotland’s World Cup exit

Joubert was running

Joubert was running.

Everyone in Ireland is pretty down about the result in Cardiff yesterday but spare a thought for our celtic brothers in Scotland.

They were leading Australia by two points with two minutes to go but a controversial penalty award by referee Craig Joubert allowed Bernard Foley to kick the Aussies into the semi final.

The Scots were, and still are, pretty outraged by the decision by Joubert who ran straight off the pitch just after the final whistle.

This tweet by the police in Falkirk was one of the most popular in the country last night, shades of Garda Traffic about it.

It was a crime to lose it that way alright.
