    They should go over to Palestine and Speak to Hamas and tell them they are Catholic and not in fact Muslim. Going by qoutes of the Qu'ran they would be the enemy also for not following Islam and their extremist views.

    Excellent farewell speech from Lunny tbh. Those words sound genuine.
    However, it was time to go. Best of luck to the lad.

    I really liked Jack. When he was fit and on form we tended to play our best football. And to replace a fit and on form Jack would have been beyond our budget, but unfortunately that player hasn’t existed for quite some time.

    No doubt, add in the tarriers nose being out of joint because he's not on show in Germany potentially keeping any premium lower than it might have been 👌

    VERITAS VOS LIBREBETS reacted to RealWorldRich in We need to establish a culture of pressuring match officials   
    When celtic lost 2-0 at Tynecastle a couple of months back they received a red card early in the game when Yang caught Cochrane in the face with his studs, with his boot raised nearly 6ft in the air.  I reckon if you asked 100 ref's from 100 countries they would all arrive at the same conclusion; red card.  But, surprise surprise, the ref on the pitch missed it and it was up to the VAR to recommend a review.  The VAR was John Beaton, and despite doing his job in sending the ref to the monitor for the most obvious red card you'll see all season, Brendan Rodgers spent the post-match interviews and pressers going after him:


    "My feeling is that the game was decided by the officials – on the field and outside of the field,”

    "For John Beaton to actually look at that in VAR, supposedly under no pressure, and say that was sending off? I find that incredible."

    "it was a poor day for the officials."

    “I also think as well that VAR is not the problem here, that’s clear, It’s competence. And I think the first one is a great example of the game being refereed outside of the pitch."

    Now, fast forward to the cup final on Saturday, with John Beaton on VAR - is it any real surprise he's folded under pressure when faced with a probable game-deciding decision? 

    There's another point to make here; Joe Hart himself took a booking by chasing the ref 50 yards up the pitch to ask for a foul.  If he doesn't complain, does Beaton even think twice about the jostling that went on at the corner?  Probably not.  celtic wanted a decision, Beaton folded and gave them it. The price was a Brendan Rodgers ban and fine earlier in the season and booking for Joe the flapper. 


    The reality is I could go on for pages about how their culture of pressure and intimidation of refs and officials, from Hugh Dallas getting coined in face, to Dougie McDonald being literally hounded out the game by Lennon, which literally sparked a strike by his fellow officials, to McGregor surrounding the ref at every decision on the field and asking for cards at every turn. 

    And, it doesn't stop at the refs, it goes above and beyond, who could forget in 2008 Lawell threatening to sue the SFA if they granted a postponed to an Old Firm game, in the same season they shamelessly asked for a postponement of an Old Firm game for the death of Phil O'Donnell, another club's player.

    We've seen this season more than any other the dividends of their culture of intimidation, calling out refs in the media and even threats of litigation.  It's time the club, the manager, player and even our pundits start fighting fire with fire, or we'll never get a fair shake.

    How come the 'foul' was given against Raskin but fuck all for Taylor grabbing him around the waist and pulling him back? Thought VAR was meant to have a good look? maybe only at Rangers players........

    Nope, not having that.
    Every corner there’s jostling and Raskin was getting pushed as well.
    The decision to disallow that goal was utterly corrupt.
    VAR fulfilled its primary function, namely screwing Rangers.

    To score against the filth in this country it must be a 100% cut and dry goal. If there's the slightest and I mean slightest hint of an "infringement" it'll be chalked off. Hart ran forty yards after the referee claiming for a push. Our players would have meekly accepted it .

    Anyone thinks that's a foul is an absolute moron. IIRC Hart has done that before where he calls for a fouls and pretends to have been touched and how the ref can look at that and give it proves he's a fucking cheat.
