Soldier blue 690 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist or habitually a bitter bastard, however I’d like to congratulate the SFA on their choice of officials for the Old Firm. Too many incidents to list here but they’ll be well discussed over the next few days. Suffice to summarise that those bastards should have had 2 sent off before our red. Collum on VAR, Walsh on the whistle and Clancy as 4th stiff was a master stroke. Still good to see they were shitting it when we were down to 10 for the last 20.

BlueJacketRFC 7,646 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Not surprised tbh. The handball was offside so I have calmed down a lot from that incident but they should have had a few players sent off. especially the lunge from Oreilly.

OrangeRab 3,408 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 We will do and say nothing. And if the league is still close come the next game. There will be another relentless media crusade. And inevitably another Dessers goal overruled, penalty not given or second yellow not given. The Officials aren’t corrupt or bias. But they are only human. They’re not immune to pressure from all corners for them to officiate a certain way. Hadron Collider 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromDeAnglais 6,825 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Their RB should have walked, got booked early, 3 or 4 fouls before he ended Simas game with an elbow. cstamomusa 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think todays decision was less about bias and more about the relentless mouth foaming conspiracy that has been perpetuated by almost every corner of the media. Such that any official probably felt like they would have abuse from thousands of rabid celtic fans for giving any perceived favourable decision our way.

Redmond7 1,545 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 The pressure put on refs by that lot is ridiculous. Its bad enough you have to referee in front of a biased home crowd with no away support, but you can't tell me referees arent thinking about the abuse they might get if they make a wrong call in our favour. Of course it can work the other way, you could get a ref that says fuck it I'm not going to be bullied. Its time our club called out that lot for their consistent attack on referees and its time the SFA/SPFL stood up to the cunts. Eleven titles in twelve years and that shower of deluded fuckwits still think they're being conspired against. The most deluded and pathetic cunts on the planet. Rangers are deed but we'll still celebrate like maddies if we beat them and dont even get me started on their obvious blindness to the paedophile ring harboured and hosted by their club.

GWR1979 2,038 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 We finish the chances we created in the first half were not even talking about the ref.

Agree with this...the refs definitely didn't help though with their honking and less than honorable decisions. Let's be honest. They're not solely to blame, but they're completely corrupt pricks. Today proved that above others. It's not a conspiracy, its blatant disregard for the rules. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart1994 4,537 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 The second Bernardo one is a howler and Johnson had 3 or 4 fouls after getting booked. But finishing let us down more than the refs did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 55,441 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Officialdom Conspiracy thread needing dusted down? Fwiw I liked Walsh overall handling of the game. Let it flow where he could, didn't make it about him, wasn't giving out cheap yellows, let big boys be big boys. But the penalty call is criminal by Collum. Its not incompetence its a conscious wrong decision. Its cheating, regardless if they found an offside call ages later. Walsh had several decisions to make re 2nd yellows and was very charitable, wrongly, to the scum. Questionably charitable. I see no difference in the incidents which chalked off our goal at home in the last OF game and the one today where Dessers fucked it by dilly dallying then making contact with their player when he eventually decided to hit the ball. Balogun one, no complaint. These decisions had a huge impact yet again on the outcome and should be challenged by the club. Should happen whist we also look internally at why we self inflict defensively and repeatedly fail up front. OrangeRab 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
