I too feel the same the cheats are destroying Scottish football.You've said exactly how I feel better than I could John. Utterly deflated by it all to be honest.
I'm glad you noticed that as well Lubos, I noticed that the last time that hun refereed us. As you correctly mentioned its a sneaky way to stop us playing by constantly giving fouls against us. Well done lad top of the class.VAR will be introduced to look at goals and goal mouth incidents.
Today Madhun put his worried colleagues minds to rest that it will be business as usual. I dont care that there is still celtic fans that don't think our refs are corrupt. I'm jealous of you. I wish I was as oblivious. You can call me paranoid. Madhun gave foul after foul after foul to every single Aberdeen player that hit the deck. He broke up play at any opportunity. When we won the ball back fairly, he pulled it back. VAR won't look at incidents like this. He booked our players when they didn't deserve to be booked. VAR won't look at this. In booking our players he put them under pressure and prevented them from playing their usual game...job done.
Madhun went into overdrive today. Look at the stats. This was a message to his colleagues that VAR may impact slightly their jobs but not completely stop them from doing what they do. The fouls that Celtic weren't given were the usual. Late challenges, barges and pull backs. None resulted in and Aberdeen goal so VAR won't look at them......but I'm just being paranoid.
.............................I can totally understand your view Lubos and very hard to disagree.
Today was just about getting 3 points no matter what or how, and job done.
We can talk tactics, team shape, players etc etc but it's all a waste of time when the main person in any game involving us, is the cheating mib bastard its becoming a waste of time, when a game of football can't be played when a cheating hun mib bastard won't allow it to be played, hence we get the misery of a game to watch like today.
Football has been such a huge part of my life with celtic being bigger than any, but today I've watched 1 and a half Scottish games and 1 and a half EPL games and the difference between the two is massive and all because of the standard of refereeing.
You will always struggle to get any flow to your play, can't challenge for a ball etc etc when a cheating mib is constantly looking for any decision against you to break up play to turn the game into a borefest and your not allowed to actually play the game whatsoever.
Then you get the complete oppersitie involving sevco scum (SS) where the blatant cheating decisions are all totally in favour of such racist scum.
The game in Scotland is fucked and worse its getting.
We're expecting players to want to come and want to play in this league, when your not allowed to cause cheating mib's will make sure you can't once you've shown you got any talent.
Got 3 points which I was happy about but feel totally cheated when entertainment value within the game isn't allowed to exist, and now no signs today that it will be either.
Until this is tackled the game is as good as dead on its feet and worse its getting.
The game is structured now to save sevco scum (SS) at all costs, yet I'll never get my head around why celtic and every other club has to suffer with the level of corruption that is there to see.
Will always love my club Celtic, but the passion is starting to go now as it's becoming to ridiculous now to really take the Scottish game seriously any more.
A very sad day for myself but can't keep putting myself through this shite.
Sorry
i dont think var makes a blind bit of difference in ukVAR will be introduced to look at goals and goal mouth incidents.

Yes he should mate,but the SAY F ALL will charge him for bringing the game into disrepute, which should be the biggest miscarriage of justice ever in our own game you could see where it was going from the start yes he should have booked Jota but that was just a sham Turnball makes an everyday tackle and out comes the card then onto Calmac Madden broke up play whenever Celtic were on the attack yet twice there were tackles off the ball against Celtic players he saw them both action taken none,nobody stopped them last season and it looks like it will be more of the same this season,this is not just about the league this is an attempt to keep keep Celtic out of Europe, Celtic need too get thier act togeather quickly we have some good players in the team now they need to raise thier game today not JanuarySurely the hibs manager needs to call it out at the end of the match.
Think he was busy up northJust watched the Lundstram tackle on the Hibs player going down the wing the Ref Madden should be ashamed for not taking action and sending him off (yes we know why) half a second later and could have broke both legs this has gone beyond criticism this is putting players in danger
Think he was busy up north
That would be one hell of a job as this sort of corruption in the game is infested as far down to the youth ranks .This.
VAR won't help -- there needs to be a complete overhaul of SPFL officials, even if it means bringing in FIFA or UEFA referees from other countries. This league is FUBAR. Full stop.
As a foreigner, let me offer a little perspective. If it wasn't for following and supporting Celtic, I would just laugh at what a football backwater that the SPFL has become, and never give it a second thought. Why? Because the officiating is clearly and blatantly corrupt -- the rest of the world sees this, incidentally -- while the league is full of hammerthrowing nobodies whose only skill is to injure opponents. This is why no one really wants to come to Celtic, and who can blame them? And for those who do come, can you blame them for wanting the get the hell out as soon as they can?
This is a monumental problem at the league level that needs fixing, and fast.
Sorry got my refs mixed up with my f.s,for Walsh read Madden both from same mouldThink he was busy up north
Yes it should
This is why we need VAR..
This should be looked at by the compliance officer..

The compliance officer is a Hun.....fact!

Shocking studs up challenge and no action taken by the refJust watched the Lundstram tackle on the Hibs player going down the wing the Ref Madden should be ashamed for not taking action and sending him off (yes we know why) half a second later and could have broke both legs this has gone beyond criticism this is putting players in danger
Its not sub standard. That is the standard.Shocking studs up challenge and no action taken by the ref
No surprises there though
SPFL managers must start calling this out, fuck the recriminations, this could end a players career and cripple someone for life
Sub standard refereeing in Scotland, it's beyond a joke
Well, that's a good pointIts not sub standard. That is the standard.
A few years ago the refs in Scotland went on strike. (Im not sure why though) While they were on strike the SPL brought in refs from Scandanvia. It is the only time in my life that football matches in Scotland were reffed by unbiased officials. The ref strike quickly ended when many people commented on how good the foreign refs were doing. Only in unFair Caledonia.This.

That was because the referee for our game against Dundee Utd at tannadice gave us a pen then changed his mind and tried to get the linesman to lie to help him out (dougiegate).Basically what these refs are guilty of is trying to matchfix for the benefit of one club and the detriment of our clubA few years ago the refs in Scotland went on strike.
