Aww come on Lubo.........referees corrupt?I mean he couldn't possibly keep up his "referees aren't corrupt" argument now....could he??
I don’t often get steamed up about perceived referee bias (having lived through the Bobby Davidson/JRP Gordon years) but this “no case to answer” decision because “referee Beaton witnessed all three incidents” is outrageous. Celtic need to fight this as far as they can, otherwise little two-bit thugs like Morelos and Naismith will continue to get away with common assault every time they play us. It utterly stinks. Sir Robert Kelly would have fought this tooth and nail, and so would Jock Stein. Over to you, Peter Lawwell, Iain Bankier & co.
Celtic should have opened there mouth at the start of the season when they found out that one person can over rule 2 others on the compliancy panel ,Ajers assault was ignored by our manager and the boardI don’t often get steamed up about perceived referee bias (having lived through the Bobby Davidson/JRP Gordon years) but this “no case to answer” decision because “referee Beaton witnessed all three incidents” is outrageous.

I don't wish to sound too diplomatic but I think that is diplomatic terminology for we're spitting nails. This 'quizzical eyebrow' should only be the first step. Obviously the statement is not going to say that Beaton and the SFA are cheating, goat-shagging, bare nipple, orange bastards.well,well, well,quel surprise http://www.celticfc.net/news/15556
It's very simple. Same analogy as as when some cunt tried to bully you at school . What did your da tell you ? You better get into school tomorrow and leather that arsehole or it won't stop. Stand the fuck up Celtic. No more back of the bus .
The club has just released this statement , I hope this is the start of the turnaround -
Celtic Football Club is surprised that there will be no disciplinary action taken by the Scottish FA regarding the incidents during the match on December 29, which have been widely addressed in the media.
It is reported that no action was taken because the match referee saw all of the incidents in question.
Given that the referee took no action at the time, this tends to suggest that such conduct, which in one instance led to a Celtic player, Anthony Ralston, being injured, is acceptable in Scottish football. That cannot be right.
On the day, Celtic did not play well enough to win the match, something we accept. However, this issue goes beyond the result of the match.
Celtic is not the only club this season to raise concerns regarding the standard of officiating at matches in Scotland, concerns which have also been shared by many commentators on the game.
In order to fully understand what is going on, Celtic, our supporters, Scottish clubs and the general Scottish football public need transparency in these matters, and we therefore call on the Scottish FA to allow the referee, John Beaton, to explain these decisions publicly as well as any match officials involved in other similar circumstances.
In the meantime, we have requested a meeting with Scottish FA Chief Executive, Ian Maxwell, and the Association's Head of Refereeing.
