Didn't get everything right but they rarely do, shouldn't be getting intimidated for doing his job. Don't entirely disagree with the tarrier statement though, think it would defuse situations is the ref spoke after the game. "Yes I saw Morellos kick Brown in the balls however I didn't feel it was intentional and I thought I'd let the situation play out." Ref should have given this statement. "Yes I saw Morelos catch Brown with his boot, but even though there was no intent as he had his eyes on the other ball, I strongly believe it was a masonic conspiracy. Now please stop the death threats." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I hope we wouldn’t be as low as to physically threaten the man and his family, that’s the story not the bad refereeing. Your right mate,and I for one was raging at Browns tackle on Candieas ,and the Macgregor hand ball incident which should have resulted in two red cards for them. But hey ho it didn’t so we have a moan and get on with it. Unlike these shite pundits and rats. That statement should have called out said pundits for inflaming an already volatile situation and made a direct pointer at seperate entity fc for their part in inflaming it also. It is a powderpuff statement which would have been as well unsaid. It has achieved nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with most of your post but not this, if they started this refs would be in front of the cameras constantly and it would drive people away from doing it.

( I know that’s a decently constructed argument - one wonders if you’ll respond with the respect you think others deserve or is that only a one way street as well?) Yet again you completely fail to make an argument against the general view with any explanation, but only state that there is no bias shown ('that thread did not show clear bias against us'). Yet again you attack fellow(?) Rangers supporters by claiming they are simply wrong ('some of our fans think there is bias against us'). Yet again you make a flippant remark, thinking your humour(!) will somehow make your point for you ('I know that’s a decently constructed argument' - please tell me that was an attempt at humour and you were not being serious!). Yet again you try to throw it all back at a fellow supporter who is fed up with your nonsense and try to blame him for your provocative attempt ('one wonders if you’ll respond with the respect you think others deserve or is that only a one way street as well?'). Same old, same old. You're either not getting it, mate or you're a deliberate troll. I hope for your sake it's the former and you're just not that clued up.

OceanRain 2,845 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 The standard of refereeing in this country is shite. Has been for years. However, the number of Rangers supporters revelling in the Tim paranoia - after some of the posts on here over the last few months - is cringe-worthy to the nth degree. They'd do well to tone it down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now no one ( I don't think!) is blaming them for the threats that have been sent but it would be naive not to at least look at yourself in this situation IMO. Good post . The lack of responsibility is quite frightening in some of today's media correspondents . As much as I don't like , or agree with Michael Stewart , there is a difference to him expressing his take on particular incidents as opposed to guys like Sutton , and c....c themselves , that go further and suggest conspiracy theories . Such inaccurate , and blatant distortion of facts are to align themselves with the more lower denominations of society and surely they must be aware that whatever they say will be used as gospel as any perceived injustices . The results of which we are seeing just now . Sutton , in particular has previous for this and one would have hoped , even expected , when given a public platform to air his views , that some form of professionalism would have been expected of him from his employees . Alas , as has been seen continuously , that was a forlorn hope , and not only should Sutton be held to account , so too should his employees .

scotty1976 1,671 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 At the end of the day we have all been guilty of abusing a ref from the stands, accusing them of cheating etc. You only need to look at the posts on here slating refs for being incompetent or cheats. I’m sure every fans site for every club the length of the country is the same. Thing is, the club like no other take it to a new level. Windows have been broken, refs investigated, driven from refereeing and in some cases jobs. And now threats against Beaton and his family. Unreal. celtic’s statement has contributed totally to this and as a club they should take a long hard look at themselves. Take responsibility for their own issues instead of blaming the world. Let’s not forget that they were responsible for the previous referees strike. I sincerely hope that if there is a repeat action by the refs they do what they should have the last time. Point the finger to the real issue and only refuse to referee matches involving them. Leave them in no doubt that the actions of them, their management, their media puppets and their support are an unwelcome cancer in the sport which goes beyond the accepted level of abuse levelled at officials.

It is no one elses fault other than the asshole being an asshole. Me giving an opinion on something wont make someone be a cunt, they were a cunt anyway. I don't hold the media to any sort of real blame in this. These bitter bastard tarriers are just looking for someone or something to vent their frustrations at. Why should I, or anyone else change their tone or not give an opinon because there is a chance someone somewhere might do something silly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did. I would suggest we called out a referee for a very poor decision against one of our players. What we didn’t do was all out a referee over decisions which were arguably correct relating to another teams player. And as a support, whilst hammering him in here and similar, I’m not sure we made personal threats against him and his family which were serious enough to have required police protection. McInnes, Levein, Lennon....almost every manager has called out a ref at some point but there has not been police protection required from us, Aberdeen, Hearts, Hivs...Brechin. Any team. Just the one. But in answer to your point @donegal_ger it is easy for the media to tar us with the same brush and I’m sure you’re right that they will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
