asomerville Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I see the Ref has picked up his Red Card bonus for sending off Tansey in the Celtic game. Will the ref at Castle Grayskull get his bonus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I see the Ref has picked up his Red Card bonus for sending off Tansey in the Celtic game. Will the ref at Castle Grayskull get his bonus? The ref is Steve O'Reilly from Rutherglen in Glasgow. Seems like another geographically neutral appointment by the GFA and that is not intended as a sleight on the official. I have not seen what led to the red card so I don't if it's deserved or not; when I say deserved I mean is it something for which a Celtic player would have been sent off.

William H. Bonney Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 never a red card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Did Rangers not get two dodgy penalties there earlier in the season, or one at least so the ref is obliged to even up the dodgy decisions between Celtic and Rangers. It was like the dodgy red card Jonsson got against Rangers last season. The next game against Celtic Obua got a dodgy red card. This is what is meant by things evening themselves up throughout the season. If it is a red card and one which a Celtic player would also have got then fair enough.

Bootzilla Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 It really does spoil the games, by ALL accounts on the radio it was never a red card, the referee's views was obstructed and Samaras went down like a sniper had got him, holding his ugly puss -straight red, immediate, without any hesitation, just couldn't wait. All these Inverness fans pay their money, and on a whim the game's over - no recourse, they can just f up a game with impunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Grimes Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 It wasn't even close to a red card & the referee was directly behind Samaras at the time so couldn't possibly have seen it clearly. A shame as ICT were giving them a game up till that point - I switched over shortly after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old firm player would not even have been spoken to. Lots of Inverness fans will now have had enough of the cheating and bias. More fans will be lost to our game in Scotland due to corrupt cheating. But we all expect it now. And are never really shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randle P McMurphy Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Rutherglen is south lanarkshire not Glasgow ooopps rutherglen is definitely in glasgow, its only a couple of miles from hampden park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 rutherglen is definitely in glasgow, its only a couple of miles from hampden park I don't know if it's technically in S Lanarks or not but I seriously doubt it. You are correct however it's an easy walk to Hampden from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CF11JamTart Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Rutherglen people get quite uppity about being a royal burgh or something. I'd be staggered if it wasn't under the control of Glasgow City Council though.... just checked on tinternet... it IS South Lanarkshire (since 1996) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Butcher get called up in front of the SFA beaks (ala Sergio) for his comments about today's ref being incompetent ...... or is that just something that happens to Hearts managers?

southside1874 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Even most Celtic fans will tell you it was a very soft sending off. They are not alarmed by it though as its what they expect. The weegies know they get the calls but they aint going to moan about it. Scottish football is on its knees because of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.S. Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Is it any coincidence that the only games where we aren't complaining about referees are european games i.e. not a Scottish referee. Is it any coincidence that Inverness managed a draw at parkhead (coming from 2 goals down) when the Scottish referees were on strike. i.e. no Scottish referees. [Rangers were fortunate enough not to have a game at the time]. As has been said on numerous occassions, referees in this country are either supporters of the old firm or are under pressure to not give decisions which upset the old firm. This pressure comes from the media, their friends, family, neighbours etc and of course it's human nature to make decisions which make your life easier. Foreign referees are the answer and the solution is a referee swap scheme set up with other countries. The only possible reason for such a scheme not being set up is that the powers in the game don't want a fair game and the majority of the Scottish clubs happily accept this. We as fans can complain all we want about our corrupt game, but until the clubs demand change we can continue to look forward to referees being the main talking/moaning point after each game.

Totally agree, as long as the GFA are appointing referees from the west coast there are always going to be referees who will at all times take the path of least resistance.
