Hamilton in the cup, Goldson's hand ball, press went on about it for a week. Different story with all the shite decisions that go against us, or those favouring the green n grey

I honestly don’t remember it mate. Another one, when was the last time celtic had any contentious decision given against them?

Why would any fucking ref even come out with this. They should be keeping there mouth shut and doing the job that is asked of them.

Corrupt.

If it were other way around , we were going for a record . can you imagine that club just accepting this sort of shite from a top ref

It’s been years. Refs are shit scared of the press abuse and threats on their families so they play it safe. 

What a disgusting country this is.

Refereeing standards are poor. There’s no conspiracy just shite refs.

A referee should be neutral.  Referees should not be speaking pubilcally at all.  This is so unprofessional but yet it happens. SPFL is a joke sometimes.

Refs are shite, tone was set when the blatant foul on Hagi I think it was wasn’t given against Motherwell in that friendly last week

If only he was so enthusiastic to explain the majority of his decision making for the last game we played them a Parkhead. I have never subscribed to the refereeing corruption agenda, more likely in my head to be them taking the path of least resistance or just plain old incompetence.

That being said, that game gave the most one sided, biased and basically ‘cheating’ performance from a referee I have ever witnessed, blatant doesn’t even begin to describe that sorry performance.
As for their ‘tiar’ year, it shouldn’t even register to a official, each game played should be taken as an individual match regardless of one in a row or ten, his willingness to give an interview in this tone genuinely ring alarm bells for the season ahead...

Clancy was bad but Beaton against hibs always tops it for me . Worst refereeing performance I have ever witnessed .

[Howsitgoing 4,281]

At least we are building bridges. Our pathetic useless board is complicit in allowing it to get this far. Next season is a write off anyone thinking anything else is kidding themselves on. Rangers don’t just need to beat teams on the park, they also need to beat the referee and with the media influencing them as this Clancy cunt alludes too that is not going to be possible.

Scottish referees more aware than ever about what is at stake as celtic go for 10 in a row

Scottish referees more aware than ever about what is at stake as celtic go for 10 in a row

     16 comments

KEVIN CLANCY has told how Scottish Premiership referees are more aware than ever about what is at stake this season as celtic aim to land 10 in a row.

Neil Lennon’s side are aiming to achieve a record breaking trophy crown, but with their arch rivals across the city going all out to stop that run, next year’s campaign is certain to be fiercely contested.

Clancy along with the rest of Scotland’s top whistlers have been put through their paces just like the players during lockdown.

And he is adamant he and his team will be on top form when the inevitable controversial decisions arise come the start of the campaign.

He said: “I can absolutely guarantee you that the referees officiating in the Scottish Premiership know exactly what is at stake this season.

“We are under no illusion that every decision probably almost in every game is going to be scrutinised to a level that even the media probably haven’t seen for a long, long period of time.

“If you want to take anything away from this, it is that the guys have been training hard, the guys are ready for the season that is about to start.

“We really do know what is at stake for the whole of the division.”

Ahead of the new season Clancy believes a strong relationship between referees and managers is brewing.

Clancy was involved in one of a few spats last term when Rangers coach Michael Beale was dismissed for disputing a late red card for Alfredo Morelos during an Old Firm encounter in December.

Despite the flash point, that Beale later admitted to accusing Clancy of cheating, the ref reckons things are moving in the right direction.

He continued: “I think you are right to say that you will always have the odd incident when things will be said in the heat of the moment.

“Perhaps on reflection people wish they hadn’t said or wouldn’t have said things if they had given themselves a second or two more to think about it.

“They tend to be the odd exception, the compliance officer probably knows better than I what sort of reports she is seeing on a week to week, month to month basis.

“But managers being sent off or those sort of things seem to me to be of a minority and the story kind of died a little bit in the week afterwards when Michael realised that he maybe shouldn’t have said what he said.

“You would have to ask the fourth official [what he said] to be honest. I feel sorry for Nick Walsh because it was my decision resulting in him having a miserable end to the match.”

Clancy kicks off his refereeing season with a Tayside derby at Tannadice Park when newly promoted Dundee United welcome St Johnstone.

The match will of course lack a degree of atmosphere, with matches taking place behind closed doors, but Clancy believes this won’t affect his job too much.

He added: “From a refereeing perspective there shouldn’t be too much difference from the sense that we will still be applying the laws of the game in exactly the same way.

“I would like to hope it won’t change the decision making. You are right though in a big game crowd noise, you know you’re under pressure, you know every decision is being carefully scrutinised.

“It certainly keeps your concentration and your focus up and I suppose maybe a challenge for referees in empty stadiums will just be making sure that because not very much seems to be happening don’t get lulled into some sort of false sense of security.

“We are all human so it would be wrong of me to say that crowd noise isn’t an important aspect of football matches.

“Not having the crowd probably should make things easier because you don’t feel as though every decision is constantly being booed or criticised.

“But I think it will just be important for myself and the rest of the guys even though there’s no crowd there that we are still bringing the same level of performance that we would whether there is a crowd there or not.”

Of all the things that happened in that match, this is the part that's focussed on.   The treble booking for Brown and the phantom handball, two of the weirdest decisions you'll ever see airbrushed....in favour of a reaction to someone directly affected by the "cheating".  There's the pointer to the agenda right there.

If any bad decisions go against the bheasts you don’t need to have watched to know they are raging. 

The papers push a narrative.

Death threats are dished out.

A general rage is clear as day.

Clancy in our game v them in December wasn’t pish poor refereeing, it was cheating. 👍

[Amokachi 3,050]

Lovely coverage of the story on STV news app.

Picture showing the bold Kevin  striding over to Katic who’s on his knees  & issuing a yellow card at the piggery.  

Iirc it wasn’t even a foul.  

Up there with Andrew Waddell for me.  

Horrid wee guy.

Deliberate attempt to set the narrative.

As you say, it's what we're up against.

It is disgraceful that first a ref was asked about 10 in a row, and even worse that a ref was willing to give any comment on it.

That interview should be condemned on radio and tv football programmes, but in this country now it will be hailed as fantastic. 

[GersInCanada 7,775]

I was always one to argue for professional referees to raise the standard as at that time I felt it was incompetence at the heart of things.

That view no longer holds water. It is corruption. The evidence is there for all too see and it is overwhelming.

As doom and gloom as some of your posts can be, fully agree with this. Only take action when it suits themselves or is good for PR
