The Leigh Griffiths flashpoint during Celtic's 4-1 win over Hamilton has divided opinion among fans - and it appears the same is true for pundits.
Neil Lennon's side established a seven point lead at the top of the Premiership with the win in Lanarkshire, but things threatened to boil over in the first half.
After a tussle in midfield Griffiths stood on Sam Woods' stomach, before being roughly pushed by Hamilton's Alex Gogic.
Both Gogic and the Celtic striker were booked in the altercation but TV replays raised the question over whether Griffiths had deliberately stamped on his opponent.
The phrase 'trial by Sportscene' has become commonplace in recent years and pundits Michael Stewart and Steven Thompson clashed on the issue.
Thompson insisted: "I think it's a red. I think he knows what he's doing - it's certainly not subtle. For me, I think it's a red card.
"The only thing that comes into my mind is brutality or excessive force. Maybe it's not, but the last time I checked you certainly can't stand on somebody's chest.
"I think it was a red card."
Stewart disagreed, however, countering: "I think the referee's called it right.
"You can see there the defender's hand is on Leigh Griffiths' foot a little bit and he loses his balance.
"I think he still knows what he's doing, he could have moved his foot, he could have planted it elsewhere, but I don't think there's enough force in it and I don't think it's a stamp.
"Did he mean it? Yeah. But the thing is if it's not excessive force I think the referee's called it right.
"I think the reason it's a yellow card is because he knew what he was doing and he could have planted his foot elsewhere.
"He's very lucky, because the referee could have called it as a red, but I think it's the right decision to be a yellow because there isn't a great deal of force in it."
