Enough is enough with this blatant cheating by referees against us, i'm sick of this honest mistake crap, everybody watching that game can see there was no contact by Tierney on their player, its obvious that there is an anti-Celtic agenda with these refs. It's time the Celtic board grew a set and made an official complaint about it.
07 Aug 2016 17:16:43
What good will an official complaint do? No point. The great Jock Stein talks about it 50 years ago. You have to accept these decisions. You don't have to like them but that's the way it is. Complaining will achieve nothing. Follow the BR example. Like he said, an "honest mistake". Who cares we won. Hail Hail.

wot about not sending broony off for two crunchers, or kolo penalty claim james, swings and roundabouts bud,
07 Aug 2016 17:42:53
Sorry as much as I was raging about the penalty I honestly don't think the refs are cheating against us I just think the standard of refs in Scotland as a whole is poor there is just no consistency in what they do as bhoywonder says we could've had players sent off.
07 Aug 2016 17:43:00
for me the ref gave the penalty because it looked like one from his angle although we know it was a blatant dive i hope walker gets hammered for it he even done it again late on trying to get scot brown sent off absolute low life as i said in the live chat they need to chop off any goal scored through blatant diving to win pens and alter the result accordingly then hammer the player with hefty suspensions to try and root out the cheats.

A complaint will bring it out in the open and shame and show up these masons for what they are this has happened since our inception not just now, i don't need to accept their dodgy decions its just out and out blatant cheating. And as for Brown not getting sent off what about Sammon not getting sent off for a worse challenge than Browns when on a yellow? I know if we complain we probably won't get anywhere as this is the same Sfa that let rangers get away with anti-Catholic bigotry for over 100 years, but it will let them know we won't let them away with it.

Broony didn't put a tackle in that deserved a red card but two heart players did. Kolo didn't foul the guy he just fell over. No swings and roundabouts there just rank bad refereeing.
07 Aug 2016 17:56:49
Bh am not being biased never even a booking for broony and never a pen.
07 Aug 2016 18:15:13
Jamesbhoy calm down your skin. there is no bias against anyone. As AlanP says it's just crap refereeing. You do need to accept it because complaining about it won't make any difference. So when we get a bad decision against us in Europe, is that biased, because we have had plenty of them.

the referee got a few things wrong today
it affected BOTH sides
he also got a lot right
in first half he went through a whistle happy 10 minutes and the penalty was the last part of that "spell"
our 1st goal IMVHO could easily have been chalked off …it wasn't …where was the bias there
i also think that scott brown was very very fortunate not to get booked and that Watt was extremely unfortunate to get booked for his exchange with Brown ….
swings and roundabouts for me…. today at least.
07 Aug 2016 18:21:39
i know they weren't offences bhoys, my point is if the refs have it in for us there was two flashpoints that they couldve used, could easily have given a pen against KT, SB couldve got a 2nd yellow also, i don't think there's any bias, i just think the standard is honking tbh.

No conspiracy, just a mistake by the referee, who was let down by his linesman, retrospective action against Walker will at least in some part discourage any would be divers, maybe a three match ban for anyone judged to have dived blatantly, other cases which are too close to call but might involve just as much cheating, will have to be judged differently,
07 Aug 2016 18:36:04
Whether it's biased, incompetence or even cheating, it's up to Celtic to make an issue of any of these recurring incidents publicly after the games, using the video evidence, to make the establishment and the officials aware that they are under severe scrutiny,
Sir Alex did it at Old Trafford for decades and it served as some form of deterrent or at least made them think twice?
07 Aug 2016 18:41:22
i think boerigter could 2 game ban for dive at mcdiarmid.
07 Aug 2016 18:43:52
derk B got punished for the same thing so i'd imagine a few games ban.
07 Aug 2016 19:01:25
Johnny have you actually been watching Celtic games over the years? There has been an agenda against us since 1888, these people cannot stomach what we stand for and what we represent, to say there is no bias against us is just laughable. There even has been admission's of guilt by these biased bigoted referee's usually at rangers nights on the after dinner speaking circuit. You can believe what you want that's your own perogative but me and millions of other Celtic fans know what is going on with these biased refs.

The innocence of some, not half an hour into season and the officials conspire to do us once again .
It's never a conspiracy against Celtic but the managers that took it on the chin had more to take on chins than those who made a song and dance about it .
The great J Stein didn't let them away without commenting . He told one referee he was as big a bastard as his father had been . The ref was afraid to charge him.
