Another honest mistake


I'd question the timing of the article kelly. We have enough soup taking ex celtic players wheeled out on the daily to attack us. How fortunate that they've managed to find a celtic supporting ex-ref to interview when the current crop of dirty MiBs are under the spotlight more than ever.

True Lubo you just have to go back 3-4 yrs ,can't find the article but he wasn't to vocal
 
Something of a coincidence that this article should appear. I was sitting in the company of lifelong mates on Tuesday. Been mates since primary schools days, but we didn't all attend the same school, for obvious reasons.
Six of us have this weekly ritual, we meet up have a coffee, and talk the biggest load of manure you'll ever hear. The Still Game Convention I call it. The balance is made up of 4 sevco men and 2 tims.
I asked the question, could any of you ref a sevco v Celtic game and remain impartial ? The answer was, probably not.
The reason I asked the question was kind of alluded to by Steve Conroy. If you have ambitions to be a ref, and you've spent your life in Scotland. Then, given your interest in the game, chances are you lean towards either sevco or Celtic ?
Very difficult one in my opinion, but proves there is an argument for making refs declare their allegiance.
I think our refs are lousy, and sometimes cowardly too. In the two games this week, in my opinion, the sevco penalty was a correct call, the call on the Hibs penalty claim was wrong, for me, it was a penalty. I also thought The Don's should have had a penalty. But then, am no a ref.

you should not be allowed to ref a team you supported/support or their city rivals
 
Just to emphasise - sevco got the free kick awarded to them for Bassey's rugby tackle on Porteus!!!!
I've spent many a long year trying to defend Scottish football due to having the love of Celtic and having to be stuck within such a corrupt league and the stink of Scottish football that remains rotten to the core still, and possibly even on a bigger scale now with the involvement of fat prick boyd and his scummy paymasters of SKY sports involved in a bigger degree.
Much was tried to be made out against our winning goal on Wednesday, in an attempt to try and promote a celtic favouritism agenda by the mibs, in order for us NOT to be awarded any close call decisions from now on, and the evidence is there for all to see now.
Yet on the other hand, all the media pricks still want to remain blind upon what really is happening and now thanks to social media it is becoming even clearer and yet the powers to be within the governing body, with its media partners also involved, still keeps the Scottish game rotten to the core.
When you look at both incidents by the same cheating mib, with the background the wanker also has, I fail to see how Scottish football can be defended in the manner it is run and reported upon.
The scum pen could only be really given upon a VAR intervention, but it's not in operation, so a lung tackle within the box against the biggest diver in Scottish football and a player who constantly plays looking for a pen, as its about all he's any good for, was a simple enough decision to award for a mib playing to the agenda.
Yet to follow up, by not awarding a very clear cut and easy decision remains unbelievable still.
To rub insult in, the mib awards a free out, only confirming the cheating mib seen the incident and confirming what a cheating bastard mib he remains.
Yet if it were not for this forum, I wouldn't have known about these incidents still, as nothing has been mentioned about them, certainly not within SKY sports to the best of my knowledge.
The Scottish game sadly remains rotten to the core still, and it's hardly helping with the media outlets all prepared to keep it in the gutter still, hardly surprising with a hun mentally happy to keep it where it is along with there same scum team.
The time has long passed now when such decisions can't be explained away as "honest mistakes" they have to be given there true and proper term as "Blatant cheating decisions" and us as a club needs to start driving this true agenda home.
A media stance has to be taken against all of the media outlets, who remain in partnership of keeping Scottish football within the gutter in how it is run and reported upon by total wankers who remain with an intent of keeping the game where it currently remains.
As a Club we are trying to bring Scottish football to a whole new and respected level, yet the agenda is in full flow of trying to keep it where it has remained for far to long now.
Players welfare remains nothing within Scotland still, and only to be impacted more so by a fat prick boyd given his wishes, and all of this upon a very important Scottish International player who would still be required to hopefully want to help his country qualify for a world Cup later this year?
Sorry for the rant, but it sickens me to the pit of my stomach, to watch 1st hand the enjoyment of watching what Ange and the players are trying to create, only to be trying to be destroyed by morons intent on keeping Scottish football within the gutter with promoting an agenda wanting to keep it where it is currently.
Time to fight back Celtic for the better good for the whole of Scottish football and let's start with the media outlets for starters imo.
Ban all of them

I can see you have very strong opinions here John. But for me, their penalty was indeed a penalty.
Maybe upon first look Frank but one of those that couldn't be conclusive upon just one look at it, so more of a guessing game imo, yet how you can justify a free out at the other end is not baffling, just plain cheating, no other opinion can be formed imo Frank
 
I've seen a few dubious decisions in my time John, and at times they have been in our favour. In the sevco game I feel Hibs were denied a penalty. In our game against The Don's I thought they should've had a penalty too. Earlier this season Dundee United were denied what to me, was a stonewall penalty at Paradise. Our refs are pure mince.

The only Celtic Manager I can recall directly calling out the cheating Mibbery was Tony Mowbray in a post derby interview where he appeared shocked by the extent of the cheating. I suppose being on the sideline gave him a different perspective on what he'd already experienced on the field. That being said I watched that loss in the pub so my own perspective could be questionable.
 
I've seen a few
We all have Frank, but trying to cover up simple and easy decisions in not getting awarded is way beyond a joke, especially when they have such an impact upon a game.
It brings the whole game into disrepute with the level of corruption, hence a dirty game still.
Is it any wonder Scottish football years ago lost all of its credibility when the same corruption and cheating remains so strongly in play within it still?

Sad thing is John, they don't need to cover up anything. They don't see any need to justify their decisions.

2010 saw the cheating MIB go in to overdrive, and by the looks of things this season will be worse again, which I didn’t think could be possible...

And adds to the point I'm making Frank, that the media imput still likes to promote keeping the game rotten to the core.
Change calls for action, and until someone makes a public stand, then the game will always remain rotten to the core.
This is where I believe Celtic should make a public stance against all media outlets in an attempt to try to clean the game up, as on marketing terms Scottish football (the product) remains unmarketable in the world cycle, that effects every team within Scottish football.

I don't disagree with anything you say above John, but I think it would be like Mana from heaven for them if the club got involved with the media. I also think it would give even more scope to those refs who lack, either the ability, or the will, to apply the rules fairly. I actually believe the only way to beat them is to take them out of the equation by beating our opponents comfortably. I'm just being realistic. Been watching it for sixty plus years now. VAR will, in my opinion help.
 
Celtic have definitely had favourable decisions from referees, but only because the referees are shite and they make mistakes. Even decent refs all over Europe make mistakes and they are full time pros who have no allegiances to the teams in the matches they are officiating (it's a funny rule that, it will never catch on)...every team in scotland would have benefited or suffered at the incompetence of the referees in scotland at some stage. But there is a difference between being incompetent and being corrupt. Handball on the goal line in clear sight of 2 referees and not giving the pen is not incompetence. Letting players constantly go in with studs up challenges on our players (it's happens every match so any decent ref would know what to look out for) is not incompetence. Awarding freekicks constantly to our opposition for the exact same challenges made on our players, that don't result in a foul, through out the match is not incompetence. Booking our players after 1 or 2 fouls while giving opposition players 6 or 7 fouls is not incompetence. The cheating isn't always so blatant, although I don't think that wee rat bag Walsh has got the LRA memo yet, but it would be dangerous to give the MiB the get out of free card of "incompetence"...they are fucking corrupt and they have a mission. Wether that mission is achieved through blatantly assisting our rivals in any way they can.. to being more subtle, like making sure they're standing in the way to our build up play. We have to keep calling it out. Win, lose or draw and fuck anyone who calls us paranoid...look what's happened the last 20 years. ..it seems Celtic fans weren't paranoid enough!!!
