ibpc Posted January 21, 2008 The club should consider employing a retired referee of reasonable standing to do three things. 1. Assess the referees performances and report to the SFA at the end of the season on any perceived bias. 2. Be involved in training to encourage better discipline, ensure the squad know and observe the rules and identify and minimise fouls and cards. 3. Debrief the players after games on their performance in relation to the above. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read somewhere that the Club brought in Willie Collum during the Pre-Season to advise them on the second of your points. Finding a Ref that will be willing to shaft one of their own wil be a difficult task. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, even just dealing with points 2 and 3 might be beneficial. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie_the_Jambo Posted January 21, 2008 Can you break this down? How many of the Rangers/Celtic cards are issued during old firm games compared to them playing anyone else? And how many of those cards against Hearts are issued to Liths? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phage Posted January 21, 2008 Compare the domestic card table with the Euro (our refs don't get nice little packages from the OF) card table and you'll notice that Rangers and Celtic are indeed a dirty bunch of hackers. The sooner this country has a revolution like Italy did a few years back the better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
