Well done the SFA

[Soldier blue 690]

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.

[SkylineBlue 25,777]

Its was a very poor performance from the officials, but we have a lot of introspection required after that today. 

[the cry was no 3,072]

Both straightforward second yellows

Is anyone surprised they weren't given?

[bluenoz 32,544]

Been going on since 2012 and the introduction of the spfl and Doncaster.

[BlueJacketRFC 7,646]

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 3,409]

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.

[PromDeAnglais 6,826]

Their RB should have walked, got booked early, 3 or 4 fouls before he ended Simas game with an elbow. 

[Malkster 5,113]

McGregor seems to have joined the elite bunch of players who would appear to be protected, as in Brown, Shinnie to name 2, 

88 minutes before he gets yellowa fcukin joke

[Inigo 33,346]

Johnstone was the most straightforward second yellow you'll see. Not so convinced by yon Portuguese guy's one.

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.

[VERITAS VOS LIBREBETS 3,424]

Why was o reily allowed to play on with blood dripping from his nose? Fucking ref turned a blind eye to that.

[Redmond7 1,545]

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.

So, they shouldn't do their job properly because they fear the fans? Dear me. They shouldn't be in this job then 

Behave ffs. 

[Tiger Shaw 32,099]

Regardless of the shite officials we shouldn’t be reliant on them giving red cards or us getting penalty’s to win the game. It’s on us nobody else blaming refs is just making excuses, we simply weren’t good enough on the day. 

 

[GWR1979 2,038]

We finish the chances we created in the first half were not even talking about the ref. He gave them every 50/50 and 2 of the should have been off. Wasn't even as bad as the Roofe goal being chopped off in the last game.

Of course pressure makes a difference. That’s true in any walk of life. You don’t think home advantage is a thing then?

 

[Albertz85 1,367]

Ref was brutal but more concerned about our lack of attacking options

[Inigo 33,346]

The only really bad moment the officials collectively had was the Johnstone one. Which was very important. Our lack of quality was more important, though.

[bluenoz 32,544]

This isn't about how good or bad we play.

It's about the big calls that go against us in these games, regardless of our performance.

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. 

[stuart1994 4,537]

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. 

[SeparateEntityMyArse 55,444]

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.

 

 

[ready1873 3,952]

It's sheer ineptness and has been for years and years. The talk of officials taking sides is daft. They are just severely inept and the whole Scottish system has been for a long time
