SFA to hold summit over refereeing

[Brubear 2,920]

So the tarriers complain about an offside goal against Motherwell, Aberdeen complain about Cosgrove sending off and hearts complain about our goal against them and the penalty against St Johnstone. What happens the SFA are to hold a summit on the subject. We complain about the most ridiculous sending off in years and what happens. The SFA levy charges against us.

If that was in a TV drama people would say it want believable.

Refereeing in this country is a dead duck.

The only answer is to draft referees in from outside of Scotland. It’s the only way to ensure a level playing field.

[plumbGER 24,518]

We should just play without refs.

[They Gnu 11,553]

But no summit on hundreds of children being abused by a paedophile ring, operating in plain sight, at a member club, all about priorities I suppose.

That raises quite a worrying scenario re our lack of ‘winners’

But we are proven to be the best at kicking fuck out people so we'd win the league, easy ok.

This. 

[BlueKnight87 17,286]

The refs in this country are horrendous. Each week one of them makes a questionable decision. 

No summit is going to change that.

Especially when the worst of the bunch collum gets full SFA backing everytime he screws up.

They are just hoping it all goes away.

.. a thread to bring out the paranoid! 

The EPL has some of the best refs in the world and every week MOTD spends half the program discussing refereeing decisions. 

Even VAR at the World Cup ( which helped)   Had many decisions where panels discussed whether the referees VAR aided decision was right.

i think we just need to accept refs are flawed humans, prone to mistakes, and take the Walter Smith view point of you’ve got to be good enough to win no matter the referees performance. It’s that simple.

Then they have to accept criticism and state why some decisions were made. And when a club complains about the standard of some officiating it should be able to do so without the SFA laying charges, or refs taking the huff.

When a team wins, that club rarely ever slates the ref no matter how bad he has been. It's the fine lines between that and poor refereeing that costs a club games and points, and is focused on. 

Saying they're only human would be a fair point if it wasn't for some of the blatant bias they are showing ... for me it's the minor celebrating by Rangers players (Candeias and Halliday in recent times) that end up in bookings/sending offs when other clubs do far worse without fear of punishment. Morelos is his own biggest enemy sometimes but any time he questions a ref he gets booked (whereas I've seen various players from every club continually do the same thing without a caution).

Too many refs do not administer the same approach to other games, clubs and players. That is the problem.

First refs are now arriving to summit

no doubt to discuss how they can punish us even more!

It’s true. Every week some team(s) have horrendous decisions against them. 

The whole narrative of ‘it balances out’ doesn’t wash.

they need to simultaneously punish and improve poor refs and introduce VAR (which I think adds to the drama)

My point isn't whether we get better or poorer decisions than other teams as I genuinely  believe refs are just bad and some you win some you lose. My point is the SFA response to complaints regarding refereeing standards. We have been charged we accusing Collum of being biased but to the best of my knowledge and reading articles I cannot find one point where we or any of Rangers staff have suggested bias and certainly didn't state that in our letter to the SFA.

 I would say that's a fair post from you BP9 with clearly reasonable points

The only thing is . This is corrupt Scotland . And no one is ever going to convince my para head that it's not

You can play FIFA 2019 with "House Rules". Proper old school fitba with no ref, fouls, penalties or offsides.  I like to switch it on without telling my pals when they are drunk to see if they notice. One of my mates calls it "jail rules"

Anyhow, it is much more fun. Cunts stop diving when they realise leg breaks go unpunished and no cunt can say they were cheated by the non-existant ref . We should maybe bring the idea up at the summit.

They'll be reviewing how other teams have managed to get the odd decision normally saved for Rangers players.

Of course every ref makes mistakes, of course in the digital age of cameras at every conceivable angle highlights said mistakes more than ever, no one is questioning that, and it’s fair to say there are questionable decisions in just about every game. The point being made is that managers of 4 clubs question decions that we’re made over the last few days and all of a sudden there is a SFA summit to try and appease them, we make a ligitimate complaint after a bizarre wrongful sending off and were sanctioned for it. Are you not concerned by that ? Are we not right to highlight that or is this just another case of paranoia in your opinion? What will it take for you to see what everycunt else does or are you one that’s so blind you just refuse to see ?
