Was listening to that radio station earlier think its called the muppet show mugs who want us to believe them refs are not bias toward the mighty celts they can be taken for a mug by the cheating scumbags but the majority of us know what's going on. Was with my 80yr old dad who was told we were playing 12 men when he was a kid by his dad shows how long it's been going on still the same shame on the SFA Stupid Feckers thanks to their big developments in our game we will make the word cup by 6767 ask the lot HH.

I think it was only a matter of time before one of our players was going to lose the head with the treatment that's has been dished out so far. We have been kicked all over Scotland with the refs giving absolutely no protection.

Then on top of that they are giving penalties like the hearts and Ross County ones and chopping off goals that are fair goals (even ogs).

It got to the point that Brown was pushed too far. Am I happy that the red mist set in?
No
Can I see why it did?
Yes.

Great post kev av been saying this for weeks we're getting kicked off the park most games and the culprits are getting away with it good for broony about time we started dishing it out but try that on sun and we know the outcome.

Seems to me all the outrage emanating from the match is that Brown won't miss the semi? So what, he will still miss two games why all the fuss. And Neil McCann is a disgrace the way he described the tackle which was simply mistimed, his studs were not up and he caught him.

He was talking nonsense about the speed of the tackle? What are there speed limits on tackles? I could highlight multiple challenges that did merit reds and yet nothing, no backlash or outrage.

The cry for Broony to miss the semi and the outrage he isn't in the daily rebel is clear. At least the boys and Brendan are clear what they are up against. I am confident our bhoys will dismantle the tribute act in the semis even against a loaded hand.

Fair point kwaj! The outrage is over the fact brown is free for the semi . Reports emanated yesterday that all teams were notified before any games were played that any incidents or appeals would not be dealt with till the 27th!

They are saying we are playing the system and trying to shame us Into not appealing! The media / referreing biased is clear to see .

Love how they forget when Lee mcculloch was red carded and played the system to insure he was cleared to play against celtic ( a game he assaulted and could have ended kayals career)

Or when boughera was red carded and they did the same because they had a defensive crisis so he could play a cup game ( in which he scored ) but that's none of our business 😜😜😜.

The media/ pundits can say what they like about Celtic appealing browns red card. The bottom line is there's an appeal process in place to be used and Celtic won't be the first club to use it in order to get the offending player available for the next game. Just for the record, like another post said, the ref was initially going to his back pocket for the yellow card until all the pushing and shoving started, then he seems to change his mind and goes to his chest pocket and pulls out the red. It was a rash challenge but have seen worse. The whole thing came from that horrendous decision from the ref for the penalty.

17 Apr 2017 18:49:56
The red was harsh, but the ref never told him to make tackle, seconds after the player he tackled got booked for tackling brown. I'm a brown fan but he's has to be bigger than that especially as captain.

Why do some on here complain about the pish written clearly by the morons more interested in pleasing their Masonic editors than journalism. i don't buy their excuses of newspapers. use your own judgement and foresight. They will soon go the way of most badly run businesses; down the drain.

17 Apr 2017 22:45:26
Like the club they used to support ignatius 😜😜😜.

20 Apr 2017 00:54:22
Its called voicing your opinion? Its a forum? Your post comes across bit patronising ignatius. Just saying.

Here is a radical suggestion. Why not bring in English or Continental referee and officials to remove the local biase (claimed by both sets of supporters) at Celtic V Rangers games? Any thoughts?

17 Apr 2017 12:05:06
Seen it suggested on here before. With the exception of Madden I don't particularly think it's anti-Celtic as I've seen some shockers in games not involving us. More just a collection of pap refs. Something certainly needs to be done. Video is the way forward for me. The SFA needs to get with the times and screen refs as well like in England.

17 Apr 2017 12:21:29
Just seen a post on social media . Don Robertson is the behind the goal official for the semi! Collum referreing and craig Thompson the 4th official? We would be better not turning up and just hand them the cup just now 😂😂😂😂.

17 Apr 2017 12:20:34
@tinytim - when the refs went on strike a few years back we brought over foreign refs and I'm sure there was still debate about contentious decisions then.

17 Apr 2017 14:12:34
Union Jack, I am sure there will always be discussion on ref decisions but it would at least remove the home-grown bias. Personally, I would like to see TV during the game and hear the referee explain his decision (like they do in rugby with no problems) .
The cheating issue makes me very angry as the consequences are not strong enough. Long bans are the way to cut that down.

17 Apr 2017 14:39:45
I'm sure the foreign refs that came over from lower quality leagues actually performed better than the Scottish ref and also with no contentious decisions.

17 Apr 2017 07:01:33
Some of the horrendous tackles celtic players have had to take this season and then see officials deem them yelliw cards or even worse nothing cards is ridiculous ie the tierney tackle against motherwell same ref as yesterday btw, thè tackles on sinclair against ict, the miller and holt challenges againsg sevco never mind the Griffiths pen incident and that's just a few but hey we're paranoid, if you can't beat them fairly then just kick them seems to be the motto.

17 Apr 2017 11:19:14
@mallythetally - maybe the outrage after the Tierney tackle has made Robertson reevaluate what a bad tackle really is so the greeting from Celtic has been Browns undoing?

17 Apr 2017 13:19:32
Aye right u are uj. the tierney tackle had durrant written all over it but for kieran lifting his leg it was a carreer finisher we had every right to complain just like yous have been complaining fae 1988 HH mind the gap.

17 Apr 2017 16:56:33
they forget the souness tackles on george mccluskey and billy stark.
