They had just as many contentious calls like the McGregor handball and Brown's follow through on Candieas when he was last man. Overall I genuinely thought it was well reffed. Not too many cards and he let the game flow. Believe me, if I thought they had been cheated out of it I'd probably be even more smug, but this is pathetic on a whole new scale. Big game for big boys. The big boys did it and ran away from the tarriers and left them in pain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that , I thought he reffed the game pretty well on balance, it was refreshing not to have an ego in black wanting to make it about him and two teams being allowed to get on with it. Would feel different though had it finished goalless after the McGregor handball right enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfredo's boot at broon baws is a perfect example of what you're talking about imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cr3_bear 14,738 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Think I actually hate them more over the last week. Their response to a defeat is pathetic. Its got me even more determined we put them back where they belong as soon as possible so I am hoping our team are getting the same feeling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

( 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?) Care to explain what current events clearly shows there isn’t? Cause the taigs complaining about Beaton over absolutely fuck all doesn’t show it. I’ll except any fan of any team claiming a bias if it’s justified but what celtc do is not done because of bias, it’s done to intimidate and influence referees.

Saying that I really don't think by the letter of the laws any of what Morelos did constituted a red card .He could easily have had yellow cards for each offence but they don't have a system where they could add yellows together and give a ban .Something that seems lost in the taig media .But they do have an anti Morelos agenda Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you might be right there, it's irrelevant. Just because someone "might" do something if you say something, doesn't mean you shouldn't say it. Don’t agree on that one mate, Sutton and the rest of the media know exactly what they are doing by using words like CONSPIRACY, CHEATING and claiming Scottish Football is corrupt and they might as well switch off the lights. They know exactly what muppets they are appealing to and they should know what could happen as it’s happened in the past on more than one occasion. They have a responsibility far beyond simple fans on a football forum to calm things down instead of stoking the flames. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it very hard to believe that the Chairman, CEO and Board of BT endorse the sorts of poisonous things Sutton comes out with in is comments. If they think that provoking controversy in the way Sutton does is a good thing for BT's reputation, and stand behind the adage of no publicity is bad publicity then in this age they are - I believe - profoundly mistaken. It will be a better day for football in general and for televised football and for football punditry when Sutton is eventually no longer required by BT or anybody in the media.

I had to listen to what he was saying a few times just to check what phrase he was using. Smile though he may at what he thinks is a funny jibe bur coming from him I don't think its in the least bit acceptable. Someone less controversial in his anti-Rangers views and unbiased might get away with it as a poor-taste attempt at a funny jibe but with Sutton's history it takes on a more sinister aspect. I wonder just how acceptable BT senior execs would find it if some of them were to be described in similarly disparaging terms by Sutton or by any other person employed by BT. Envisage a Monday morning media televised meeting with the BT CEO and a journo decides to address him in similarly disparaging terms. Wonder how long that interview would last and I wonder how long the journo would remain in a job after BT had contacted his/her employer. But BT senior execs are not just tolerating it from Sutton, their continued absence of any attempt to deal with him infers they condone the sort of things Sutton says. Sutton's carefully injected disrespectful jibe also invites retaliation. Provokes it even. Which is precisely the controversy he aims to generate...…….and which his paymasters at BT are tacitly happy to let happen. For if they were not happy with the way Sutton operates then he would not be appearing on television screens. Sutton and BT are a collective disgrace. They do not know how to behave with integrity and have no intention of trying to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
