The cheating laid bare. Check out the stats below
The MIB are at it as usual.
Madden’s decision to deny an absolute 100% stick on penalty on Saturday was a disgrace adding to all the others we are witnessing.
They have to be called out on this as the evidence is overwhelming.

Last week someone posted last seasons penalties awareded , i’ve added the finishing position in the penalty award table alongside the actual league table position.
Celtic 1 – 6
Newco 2 – 1
Kilmarnock 3 – 3
Aberdeen 4 – 2
Hibs 5 – 7
Hearts 6 – 4
St Johnstone 7 – 5
Motherwell 8 – 8
Livingston 9 -11
Hamilton 10 – 9
St Mirren 11 – 10
Dundee 12 -12
On a season long sample size there should be a rough correlation between teams attacking and penalties awarded.
Teams who are getting beaten regularly are defending more than attacking….and finishing lower down the table.
Looking at the data…
3 teams finish in same position in both league and penalty tables
3 teams finish with a 1 place differential.
5 teams finish with a 2 place differential
We are the anomaly…..
We won the league but finished 6th in penalties awarded !!!
A good few years ago we managed 14 or 15 months without a penalty. I think Richard Gordon on Radio Scotland was first mainstream journalist to discuss it.
They couldn’t call it out for what it was, they however discussed how incredible it was. Once it became a discussion in MSM the penalties came in a rush…. i vaguely remember three in the following 4 or 5 games.
If we want to make some impact on what is happening it needs to become a mainstream discussion topic again.
Once the light is shone on the ‘honest mistakes’ by radio, tv and press the MIB’s get a little nervous…..
This should be the second most discussed topic after Resolution 12.
Will probably result in another ref strike : )
