Corruption in the game?

They should be heavily disciplined as you suggest, over and above this they have to be seen to have been. As far as Clancy, I believe his very next game following the 29th farce was back at celtic with no sign of sanction there.
Decisions like this feed to the insinuations against officialdom and who can blame people coming to the conclusions they do when we are seeing outrageous performances (referee) week after week.
I personally don’t take to the notion of them sitting in a dark room plotting our downfall but when you compare the standards applied to celtic compared to ourselves there has got to be a reason which drives the lack of parity, be that at best inept, worst cheating but my guess sits somewhere in between...

Clancy actually got the pick of the round tie in the scottish cup, Dundee Hivs v Junkie Hivs as his reward. It was the next game he returned to his beloved chamber of secrets.

Cant recall ever sayings these things even themselves out. I doubt they will to be honest, certainly not over the course of one season. Over a couple of seasons perhaps, but not one. The League cup final debacle cant be evened out unless we are the beneficiaries of an outrageous decision or two in say the Scottish Cup final or an Old firm quarter/semi.

The point I have consistently tried to make is that these poor decisions are a result of incompetence, not corruption.

We tend talk about how incompetent refs were when we are winning and playing well. Thoughts turn to conspiracy when we are playing poorly and celtic benefit from the occasional decision. In other words, more emphasis and scrutiny is placed on poor and inconsistent decisions when we start to rely on results elsewhere.

There are of course those who have believed in conspiracy for a long time.

Just my opinion mind, happy for anyone to have another train of thought.

Like most on here, i'm also happy to fight my corner if questioned/challenged/abused.

 

 Things are only deemed a conspiracy until the facts have been collected. I disagree  especially with the highlighted bit, have a read of the link below as it will explain my point better than I can.

Anybody that doesn’t think the refs integrity hasn’t been manipulated by taig infested media needs to have a right good look at the situation 

Last season i can give 2 huge examples ,

In the first game we got pummelled,the only goal of the game came from a break away where Jack was fouled outside their box ,now I know we had chances to stop the counter ,but it was a foul none the less and and if foul was given we had a decent free kick to possibly score from ,All washed over because they were the better team,yadda yadda yadda 

Move forward to the next game at Ibrox we battered them and won 1 nil ,No greeting and moaning from Walker the taig commentator during the game ,Once the game was finished the game was analysed to death on social media ,And all of a sudden we were lucky and we spent weeks of castigation of Morelos for misdemeanours.

In SGs time we have beaten them 3 times and 3 times handsomely everytime there has been a backlash in the media regarding insignificant ref calls ,Compare that to the lack of outcry when they won the league cup from a goal that should never have counted where little was ever mentioned and the other games they have won .No media coverage whatsoever about the referee ,

In the Christmas game at Ibrox last year the media outcry for the square root of fuck all caused the referee to need an escort to his next match and a police presence outside his home ,

Move forward to now ,We kept the pressure on the cunts and since the start of December including a cup final we have been on the wrong end of many calls ,not one in our favour ,

Even correct calls get pressure in the media ,look at the outcry when we got 4 penalties in the one game last year 

No referee will be willing to give us the benefit of the doubt now at a key point in the match knowing his family and career are under threat if he calls it wrong or even close to being wrong ,

It's really quite simple . 

Referee Mike McCurry led his Baptist congregation to sing Simply The Best , nothing to do with football , but about his religious beliefs , being a minister . The sfa , in 2009 , ended his career  because of that ,  when they omitted him from the list of senior officials  for that season . Now , while I can't say c.....c were directly behind this , it was made sure it was spotlighted in the papers at the time , and yes , even they had their placemen in the press back then . 

Meanwhile , the next season , 2010 , Dr Death , John  Reid , asked for the removal of referee Dougie McDonald , for reversing a penalty decision , when the tarriers played dundee utd in a league game in 2010 . 

In November  that same year , 2010 , Hugh Dallas , the Head of Referee Development , was reported by ill phil 3 names for passing on an email joke about the pope . The Roman Catholic Church got involved , and asked for his resignation , in which he was promptly sacked by the sfa . 

So here we have two referees , and a supervisor , removed from their posts at the behest of the roman catholic church , a catholic bigot and c....c football club ,  in just over a year . 

What follows is a referees strike , but be in no doubt . . . . the show has to go on , and the cast is set .

The sfa , having never even backed  their refs at this point  , no longer have the strength or willingness to usurp c....c football club  . Gone are the days of Jim Farry and Ernie Walker , replaced by names , well nobodies tbh , that don't even  have the strength to control their referees , never mind the farcical office of Compliant Officer . 

Referees now go unchallenged , while the sfa play the fool . If ever a case of the tail wags the dog , this is it . The referees now tell the sfa what's to happen . 

Meanwhile , Rangers still play the Dignified Silence game .

I think money as well as ambition should be considered as a motive.  

Imho. At the beginning of 2007 when Reid became chairman of cfc they were living off co-op loans. I think due to his political connections he knew cfc were going to have to answer for their crimes and they would go bust if they didn't get their club making a profit. 

 I think a corporate espionage plan was devised to hamstring Rangers financially, so cfc could accumulate maximum profits.

I think with the help of their friends in the tax office they made up a phantom  Tax bill, leaked info and persuaded HMRC to refuse  to the CVA. 

I think they had friends at the bank who aggressively clawed  back Rangers agreed loan. Then, refused to honour the club's overdraft unless the SDM chose to sell to  the banks preferred bidder - Whyte..  

I think they had friends in the SFA dish out punishments, fines, player embargo's, title stripping attempts, 5 way agreements and booted Rangers out of the league, which would take our club years to recover from.

I think they had friends in the media who were constantly muck raking to damage Rangers brand.

I think the ref strike was planned to get rid of refs who would stand in cfc's  way to gain millions in prize money, titles and trophies. sponsorship, European qualification.

I think the refs have brought the game into disrepute and I wouldn't be surprised if match manipulation was part of  towing the party line 

We have been attacked from many different directions for a long time and we carry the scars. Obviously Brian Wilson didn't have the clout the soap dodgers needed but reid had it in spades ... indeed it would be a sobering thought to wonder what the state of play would be in Glasgow football today if the bears in his constituency hadn't voted him into power and given him the contacts to hurt us

Tarrier cunt on SSB phone in tonight greeting about Hamilton not getting a penalty today, almost in tears the cunt was, And it's not as if they haven't witnessed what's been going on recently, they watch just as much as wee do 

He's desperate to have Main disciplined 😳

Let me get this right, your saying threats are being made to refs and they are being forced to do match manipulation to keep their families and careers safe?

If this is the case then the SFA need call the police and do an investigation. How can anyone trust these refs to officiate a game whilst this is going on.

Guess today fucks the 'referees are out to stop us' conspiracy eh lads?

Just stuck with them being fucking atrocious at their jobs.

That makes one favourable decision, that I'm not sure the ref could see, compared to dozens the refs have seen clearly.

So I guess you're talking shite.

Gave us a penalty when it looked like we had zero chance of scoring. Didn't give them a penalty when it was 1-1.

So yeah, you're deluded.

Zero chance of scoring? Really? We created / were creating no chances?

Gave us a penalty? So it wasnt and our player should have been booked for simulation?

Didnt give them a penalty? Thats the one that I've said WAS a penalty but hit Goldsons arm pretty much under his body. Ref was behind, I'm not convinced he'll have seen it properly. Should refs give penalties if they don't see them?

First wrong big decision in our favour in months. You give me more and I'll give you five back in return.

Lets play,

Yes, I recall that now. Could the reason the refs blatantly show match manipulation be that they want the SFA to step up and deal with the situation?  Personally I think the're a few dodgy refs in the service of cfc, as they are the only ones to benefit financially from this situation.

We are absolute shitebags and gutless but that referee is a disgrace.

Handball in the build up to their goal.

Cunts get away with all sorts of bad tackles.

Dicker should've been off.

Morelos shoved to the deck in the box with no pen given.

Morelos goal chopped off for no reason, ref then goes and has a wee laugh with killie player straight after chopping it off.

The clear cut one is the Killie goal. 

I can see why he's given the Morelos one, but if you give that you have to give Burke's.

Then there's the difference between Morelos and Dicker for the bookings.
