BBC propaganda piece...
Poor refereeing should have "consequences", says former official Steve Conroy.
Andrew Dallas awarded Rangers four penalties in their 4-0 win over St Mirren, two of which Ibrox manager Steven Gerrard called "debatable".
Scottish referees have faced criticism this season, with managers calling for VAR and full-time officials.
"We certainly have to address all these mistakes that keep happening," said Conroy, who stepped down in 2012.
"There has to be consequences, whether you get a few games in the lower divisions to keep out the headlines, to give you a chance to reflect. That has to be much more open than it seems to be just now.
"It would be better if the Scottish FA accepted that people mistakes and come out and say that rather than just trying to deafen people with silence."
Rangers 'could have had five penalties'
Conroy agreed with Dallas's first award of a penalty at Ibrox, but felt he got the next three wrong and missed another legitimate spot-kick near the end of the match.
Dallas was also criticised for awarding celtic a penalty in the League Cup final against Aberdeen - Scott Sinclair missed but his side won 1-0 - and one for St Johnstone against Hearts, which was converted by Matty Kennedy to secure a 2-2 draw.
"It wasn't good and it won't come as a surprise that I say that and it certainly shouldn't come as a surprise to Andrew either," Conroy said of Saturday's match at Ibrox.
"I'm surprised that Andrew was put in such a big situation, considering what's happened to him in previous weeks.
"If referees keep making mistakes like this then it's everybody's reputation that's on the line. If that had been me, I don't think I would've been awarded such a big game so soon after recent events.
"There are some people who go through a lot quicker than most and probably a bit quicker than is healthy because it's an apprenticeship. You need to put in the hours, you need to put in the years before you can start going into such situations as big games."
'I can't think of any other celtic fans'
Conroy, a celtic supporter, is open about his club allegiances but is "utterly convinced" that who a referee supports has no impact on their performances.
And, when asked if he knew of any other celtic fans among officials, he replied: "I can't think of any."
"I don't like conspiracy theories, it's an awful easy excuse to explain things away," he added.
"There was never any discussion on who you support and who you don't. I certainly never minded telling people who I support. It's out there so no-one can say anything after it."
Utterly convinced BBC Scotland has an anti-Rangers agenda. I don't even think it's debatable.

Ah, so they never discussed who they supported, he therefore doesn't know any others who support the scum like he does, but leaves the implication others will support Rangers.
Blatant agenda, well and truly cranked up several notches.

The outrage from the media is incredible. Even if you think some of them may be soft, every one is very much debatable and you can understand why they were given. You could also understand if a couple weren't given. Two of them are right on the line for fucks sake. They were close/tough calls. What happened to giving the advantage to the attacker! It's also ironic given the Morelos incidents in the old firm game. Morelos gave the ref a chance to be booked/sent off according to everyone and their granny. But now when St Mirren players leave a foot out, raise their hands and drag a player back surely that's the exact same fucking thing! They've given the ref a chance to give the penalties. Hypocrisy overload!
Listened to some of Sportsound and it was hilarious. They had Steve Conroy (former ref and devotee self confessed tarrier). Absolutely ripping out of him. Could feel the tears coming through the radio! Then you had Michael Stewart talking about referee game management saying after giving 3 penalties Dallas should have been thinking, 'Oh can I give a 4th penalty' paraphrasing slightly. Aye i've given 3 penalties so i'll not give a 4th, that's exactly what the game needs! Don't get me wrong I think some refs will think like this but when you have Stewart and co trying to be whiter than white effectively advocating the ref should cheat, it's rather ironic.

The whole Idea of a Compliance Officer is nonsence. What is the purpose of reviewing fouls which may not have been seen . If action is taken against a player it doesn’t help,the team he committed the offence against and in fact may hinder them if the player is subsequently suspended against one  of their rivals. Why also only look at fouls. Why not offsides, shys disallowed goals? The whole thing is bollocks and should be scrapped

Right at the end 😂
 

I’ll be on the park at 55 with a cardboard cut out of two fives covered in tinfoil waving them about like a mad man 
 
that’s for sure 

As an ex centre half I've looked at too many Rangers strikers over the past 6 years and thought I would have really fancied playing against them. Morales is a different proposition entirely. He has way too much going for him in strength, movement and instinct to be in the right place. I've seen big strikers bully centre half's.. I haven't seen them bully whole defences before. Morelos disrupts the whole of the back line and I hope we can hold onto him for another couple of years. 

Everything after the selik game was rosy. 
Now the apocalypse is upon us. 

I hate the Record but lets face it The Dude will and has been getting pelters regardless so he cant win.
Folk wanted positive upbeat stuff so he posts just that and now it's his fault for putting pressure on the team  

I doubt my columns would get many views by saying:
'aye well, I mean we might win the title, but it's only january so I wouldn't want to appear a bit cocky and suggest that we might for fear that we don't. There's a chance this could potentially put pressure on the highly-paid professional athletes I'm paid to discuss so I don't want to upset them either. Someone will be champion but it would be presumptuous of me to suggest who it may be.'
😂

Me either. He's ok. Not much better than that and not any better than what we have. Meh.

If we sack him they have got 10IAR
We cannot keep switching managers and entire playing squads every year. There have been improvements this year and I expect more next season with another summer transfer window.
Idiotic as fuck to suggest getting rid of him 

Fuck sake Tav.

Hope Gerrard tells Defoe to stop wearing that stupid wee hat.

 

8m isn’t even close. Actually a waste of time making the bid.

No Morelos 
No Title 
No Party 
I wouldn't sell him even for £20m.

Andrew takes 15 sugars in his coffee.

Is he an alcoholic though or is he just a party loving daft bastard using that as an excuse so we can't sack him? You never know.

You know the pressure is on when the pie in the sky stories start coming in thick and fast from their media friends. First it was Forrest is a £12m man wanted by Liverpool, today it's Ntcham is wanted by Porto for £14m. Makes them seem better and hotter property than they are.
And at the same time, when Brenda doesn't sell despite the huuuuge demand and offers on the table, it's seen as a win for them. 
 

Imagine being a grown man, on holiday at a nice hotel and being on a "final warning" 
That in itself should have the cunt hiding with embarrassment, but he actually seems proud of that?
What a sad life the cunt must lead is all I can say. 

I can read English and understand most English but I do not completely understand what he says. I am sure this bastard has not been to school before. He say something about last warning so obvious that he has been making trouble before. Also maybe they should not spend their money on a holiday but spend the money for a membership for a gym for his elephant girlfriend
