Davy 68 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Just watching the highlights on Sportscene there of the bheasts game, Sandaza brought down in the box by Loovens in what was the most blatant penalty you're ever likely to see only for it to be knocked back.Then a clear foul by Commons on one of the Kilmarnock players only to be waved away and Celtic go up the park and score the second.Maybe the men with the whistles are feeling a bit intimidated by the public slatting they're receiving (coincidently when the scum don't win). Maybe the aggressive behaviour shown towards their colleagues and all this talk about an agenda against The Bigot are making referees think twice when they should be pointing to the spot or making a decision that doesn't benefit the bheggars.In comparison to the way we've dealt with poor decisions week after week recently, Super Ally saying Brines 'was great' allowing him to speak to him about the Aluko booking and generally maintaining the dignified silence approach.Maybe we should take up their approach? Maybe intimidating, threatening and confrontational behaviour is the way to swing things in your favour?You have to ask yourself, would you make a decision against them if it meant your name on the back pages of every paper and your private life scrutinised after a rant and personal attack from Lennon and his puppets? You would like to think these guys were professional enough to rise above that but in the back of their mind they might just think that giving a decision against them maybe just isn't worth the hassle?

Book of Ruth 1 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 They are intimidating certain refs, but certainly not all of them.There are refs who will not bow down to this shite, no matter how hard they try. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2102 582 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 if i was a referee with a family and a job i would undoubtedly feel under pressure. surely it is only human to think "was that a penalty?.....hmm i cant be too sure". i dont think its making referees bias, but i do think it is giving them a much higher level of doubt Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Couldn't believe the ref didn't award a penalty and a free kick as mentioned. Typical you don't hear Lennon complaining about the referee being poor today huh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was around the time before they withdrew their labour.They were all beeling with the filth, and wanted action taken against them.Some, like Willie Collum, made it plain that they would rather give up refereeing than bow to tarrier pressure, and would continue to give decisions how they saw them.The mood was not friendly towards timothy.

Ricky_ 893 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Maybe we should take up their approach? Maybe intimidating, threatening and confrontational behaviour is the way to swing things in your favour?intimidation is paying off imo, but anyone who belives we should act like them doesnt know what it means to be a ranger. This isn't out way, and it never will be.we need a strong voice, someone like donald findlay on the board, to defend us on many different levels, especially the mud that is constantly thrown at us from the celtic-minded within the press, and we need to keep the SFA in check. It's important we campaign for the best possible refereeing standards. I for one would like to see the assessments of match officials made public. For example, yesterdays game of the tims vs st. johnstone, we should be able to see how the ref was scored in this match, and what decisions he was deemed to have got correct, and which ones wrong.
