biotechnology 2 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I was talking to a guy I know last Saturday night-meant to post this but forgot- and his son is a Referee, Paul Wedlock.Anyway his dad was quite incredulous when telling me this story.Paul & his dad are both RC btw & both like the Celtic, Paul is very clever, an accountant, his dad ex police & Paul strikes me anytime Ive spoken to him as an honest & well brought up guy and is as straight as they come.He was referee-ing a game involving Celtic reserves last saturday & couldnt miss seeing 3 guys setting up a camera & then following his every move, he asked one of them what they were doing & he replied-recording video documentation on a report Celtic are preparing for the SFA regarding refereeing involving Celtic-Yes FOLKS they are now videotaping every game including reserve games to highlight decisions the board feel are of possible bias against Celtic Football club.I really have heard it all & wonder if this is the cause of Referee unrest-both Father & son were of the opinion it was absolutely ridiculous.

laudrupforever 17 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 If that's true, and I have no reason to think otherwise just now, that is truly staggering. That's worse than the whole refereeing strike, Dougiegate and the Phil O'Donnell thing put together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis 1,011 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 what are the chances of the refs not refereeing shmelliks games. This is down to them and it has the rest of Scottish football suffering.I know we all have rants about the standards of referees, but surely its time for UEFA/Fifa to step in.

markybear 136 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 If correct and accurate (which I have no reason to doubt, it sounds very plausible of cfc these days) then I'd imagine this is exactly why the refs are going on strikeGd on them I say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biotechnology 2 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Its true-There is no reason in the world why he would have told me that in front of maybe 5-6 others, My girl was stunned when she heard it too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersAvA92 53 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Where did this crap come from? Yeah before they were on about bias refs and such but to make a documentation about it is just stupid!Why can't they just admit they have a joke of a football club and are shite?!?!

stuart54 218 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 But didnt they complain about the match officials in both the Braga and Utrecht away games (not the home ties - they won them) which leads me to the question - Where are they willing to accept refs and linesmen from?

eastcoastbear 122 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 If this is true, then it is a sad day for football.Refs are an essential part of the game and I'm sure that the vast majority of all fans are happy to trust the integrity of the refs week in week out. Aye, there will be mistakes from time to time but that's part of the game. If a decision goes against you, take it on the chin and get on with it. It's part of football.To prepare a video file is pathetic, the actions of a class of people inferior to the rest of us.Celtc FC and "sporting integrity"? My fuckin arse.

biotechnology 2 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 All I could find on the web about it, seems its just the tip of the Iceberg"Celtic have voiced concerns about refereeing standards this season and last and BBC Scotland has also learned that the Glasgow club would welcome the strike.It is understood Celtic hope that it could lead to a wider independent investigation and want Uefa to intervene in what they think is a refereeing crisis".
