DavieG Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I almost thought I was watching us yesterday. 2 stonewall penalties against Celtic turned down, awarding a goal when 2 players were offside and interfering with play (OK that was down to the linesman) and not even booking McManus for a shocking challenge, despite what Hughes said. Imagine the outcry if some had broken McGeady or Brown's leg!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk must be going nuts today, yet again another example of improper behaviour from our officials. It cant happen this often to be called incompetent, there must be other reasons.

Smoked-Glass Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Underhill is my most hated referee. Will never forgive him for the Oct 2005 hibs 2-0 Hearts game where he was useless from start to finish and never booked a single hibs player. We got f all that day. Underpants is mince.

Heartbeat Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Just saw the highlights on the Lunchtime news and ffs how did McManus not get sent off for his tackle on holden or at least booked. Showed the Falkirk player going down in the box and looked at a pen but only showed in once but interestingly underpants gave the "get up" hand signal to the Falkirk player which would idicate he thought he had gone down easily but no booking possibly its just Lithuanians with reputations that get booked. Also there was no irate Zander Diamond and others fabricating rage at the unjust situation to convince the ref Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falkirk's, Motherwell's and Kilmarnock's of this world had their chance to stand up and try and do something about refereeing bias towards the uglies in the aftermath of Davisgate when we tried to force the issue but they collectively SHAT THEMSELVES and then pointed the finger at us.

Also there was no irate Zander Diamond and others fabricating rage at the unjust situation to convince the ref MccANUS should have been sent off several times in his carreer but it hasn't happend yet cause he plays for the old firm. His debu was a 4-4 game v motherwell and he assulted someone but was only booked. Later that year he haffed a livi player but was only given a yellow and now we have yesterdays game. At least he's no pussy though and will be an asset to the Scotland reargurd now that Weir and Pressley are too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboAl Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 The SFA use video evidence to "convict" a player so why not do the same, even with bookings, to exonerate players wrongly punished. It's called JUSTICE In addition, the incidences of referees/linesmen making wrong and unfair calls, is increasing and the SFA seem to be doing nothing about it. Would video evidence not help to judge officials' performances or do they not care. Scottish referees are fast becoming a laughing stock and one wonders if the results are pre-ordained. No doubt come Wednesday we will play against a Glasgow team, in a Glasgow stadium with a Glasgow referee and 2 Glasgow assistants, not to mention the weegie media. BTW is Davies still around?

monkfish1979 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 The thing is, it's so much more noticeable when the OF teams are poor. The fact of the matter is that they don't deserve to be in the positions that they are currently in. Now that other SPL clubs are starting to be affected, would it not be about time to make sure it is officially investigated by somebody outwith the GFA?

Horatio Caine Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Just watched the highlights and Falkirk had no fewer than 3 clear penalty shouts - possibly even 4. Not one of them given. Definitely something sus going on IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Rob Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 McDonald: "these things balance out over the season..." Aye, right. Someone has already posted something similar, but this is something that really irritates me. After the whole Andy Davis affair, I remember hearing the serious suggestion from someone in the media (sadly can't recall who) that it didn't matter, because 'things even out over the course of the season' and some similar decisions would go Celtic's way too. Apparently the injustice perpetrated on us was only important in the sense of how it affected the OF. Who are all that matters in Scottish football, naturally.

Indeed, worse than ****ting it, they turned against us in many respects, and only now are they hinting at issues and expecting sympathy.

Paws (FTH) Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I watched the game live on Sultana yesterday and have to say Falkirk were indeed robbed by the officials. In any other profession incompetence to that extent would be penalised. I can't bear the "referees/linesmen only have a split second to make a decision" argument. That's their fn job and if they are not capable of doing it then don't! GFA GTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eckauskas Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I for one am quite happy Falkirk were robbed yesterday. Both the manager and thier fans are odious beyond belief, and I'll take great joy in them feeling cheated yesterday. Back on topic though, isn't John Underhill a self-confessed Celtic fan?

I'm pretty sure this is Clarke and Dougal's last season too. Maybe that why they've taken the opportunity to really stick the boot into us recently. Although, worringly, Wednesday night's ref (McCurry) is also in his last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
