scottish_chicP Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 In his post match interview "I'm not sure it was a free kick" about the freekick that led to the equaliser. I genuinely believe the man has something wrong with him. Either he can't help but blame something or someone for his team's inabilities or he genuinely believes they are that hard done by. I cringe (and laugh) when I hear him and the Celtic fans who buy into the whole conspiracy thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitster Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I for one am seeking clarification about the number of extra minutes played. This was surely a deliberate attempt by the referee to ensure the opposing side had as much time as possible to grab an equaliser. IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!! I DEMAND SOME ANSWERS!!!!

Guest juvehearts Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 do you know what gets on my goat. they are not better than us, motherwell or dare i say killie atm the SPL's standard has improved its not that rangers & celtic have gotten worse, rangers do have quality players that can win matches, its same with celtic - hooper for example the thing that is annoying me is the way that celtic go about it, its a siege mentality - everyone against us & when things do go against them then nothng is done about it. which is why people were calling us paranoid when it was/is happening to us. OK maybe this is a good thing, this is now out in the open & kind of in a way glad it is happening to celtic hopefully it will bring about a much needed change to refereeing standards & for everyone to have a fair game, because it is a proven fact now that referee's are influenced by the OF, i know its a no shit sherlock moment but it has now came to light & now hopefully something is being done about it if now only the referee association was a separate body from the SFA & ALL grade 1&2 officials were full time employed the standard would be that of england & surely that can only develop the game up here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffer Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 ................. if now only the referee association was a separate body from the SFA & ALL grade 1&2 officials were full time employed the standard would be that of england & surely that can only develop the game up here In my view, makimg refs professional will not improve their quality of decisions or standards of fairness. They didn't get any better when the match fee was increased to ?800 last year (with a promise that their demand for ?1,000 each game would be reviewed) and so making them full-time pros won't make the slightest bit of difference. If anything, it could make them even worse if they are forced to continually look over their shoulder for the approval of the media/OF and to rely on the SPL/SFA for their only source of income. What is required is a root and branch review of the SFA and, in particular, the underlying reasons for the dominance of the OF duopoly, if we want to see the game in Scotland improve. But it's a bit like inviting turkeys to vote for christmas, if we expect the SFA to make any real changes internally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course nowhere near the quality of the 90s side but as a collective they're very strong and key individuals are in great form which helps. Better than any rangers side I can think of in the last 5 or 6 years at least. I think Rangers european results are showing this a little as well.

You are perfectly entitled to your opinion but your reply ignores the issues that I alluded to in my post. You said it yourself, if professional refs don't get it right they will be dropped down to the lower leagues and therefore their livelihood/level of earnings will be at stake. The problem is who makes that decision? If your livelihood is dependant on maintaining the status quo, by not upsetting the OF and their media scychophants, how would you call a last minute penalty shout against Rangers at Ibrox if the result depends on it? Would you award a penalty to the opposition or would your priority be to protect your income (and front windows) by ignoring the shout? Alternatively, if you were, say, a stand side linesman at Tynecastle would you call a non-existant last minute penalty if it helped improve your popularity ratings in your local police station? I know, this scenario is totally unbelieveable and couldn't possibly happen but just consider it!!! At the moment we have people like Dallas calling the shots and if you read the post match details of the Dougie McDonald fiasco neither he nor any of the review panel, made up of former refs, comes out of that incident well. In short, he appears to have urged McDonald and his assistant to bury the truth and, afterwards, the panel did not appear to think that McDonald's actions merited any more than a mild slap on the wrist. How else can you explain him being given an SPL match involving his beloved Hibees only a week or so later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else can you explain him being given an SPL match involving his beloved Hibees only a week or so later? there is a ref watch and both teams get to mark the ref, if these reports were taken as report cards for refs they would have to be up to scratch or no GSCE's, can you honestly see the refs getting relegated for not giving the OF an non existing penalty? were as I can see them getting relegated for giving them one were one did not exist, if there are ten guys waiting on me making a shop front of something so they can take my place, i'm going to do my best to keep them waiting.

Martin_T Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 For as long as Lennon continues to blame refereeing conspiracies for his teams failure to win matches and consequently fails to be introspective, he will never improve as a coach. Every time they drop points the fault seems to lie elsewhere, the questions he should be asking are of his own team selection, motivation and tactics.

The best chance of getting third and closing the gap on 2nd is to aim to catch the OF. No-one would have given us any chance of winning six out of seven and our dodgy defence keeping six clean sheets in the process. And all without what many would say are are two best players. I don't expect us to catch the OF but I expect us to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
