These stats are certainly an eye opener regarding what Celtic are up against as well as opponents! just wish wee fergus was here he’d have published these stats as Celtic should do.

That's 4 huge flash points in their last 3 games. If they had 4 decisions like that going against them they would have the scattergun statements out targeting the SPFL SFA Referee's etc. The worst 2 incidents V Motherwell were the stonewall penalty not given and a goal that was clearly offside.

I want to highlight the difference between the Scottish referees and foreign referees.
Before the game yesterday Sevco had played 3 home games in the league and 3 home ties in Europe.
In the 3 league games Sevco had committed 33 fouls but only received ONE yellow card.
Their opponents in the league games combined committed 35 fouls and yet received TEN yellow cards.
But in the 3 European matches, Sevco committed 32 fouls at Ibrox and the foreign referees gave them 8 yellow cards and a Red Card.
And that was before yesterday’s biased referee performance because Lundstrum should’ve been sent off in the 2nd minute and yet play was allowed to continue.
Nobody can argue with the differences between our Scottish referees and the foreign referees.
Sevco have not received a Red Card from a Scottish referee in nearly 70 domestic games but they do receive the odd retrospective ban which makes it worse.

We got done at tynecastle earlier in season perfectly good goal chopped off not even close to being off and the halliday challenge, the utd game clancy was awful and gave us nothing their keeper assaulted abada and nothing given, the amount of free kicks our opponents get is scary you would think the refs knew we were not great from set pieces ?.

I just saw the tackle lundstrum made flying into Porteous with both feet of the ground. He could have broke the lads leg but it's allowed unless its against an orc.

I'm sure I read last night that the ref on Sunday at Ibrox was Nicky Walsh who has refereed 7 matches there sending off an opposition player on 6 occasions, that seems fishy to me like.
{Ed007's Note - Nick Walsh works at Boclair Academy, TRIFC version of St Ninian’s for us. He coaches TRIFC youth players.}

If that is the case then why is he allowed to referee matches that involve TRFC surely there has to be some sort of conflict of interest at play there? I'm beginning to think it is getting ludicrously ridiculous now, like you ed007 I've never really went in for the conspiracy theory thing to be honest. Now I'm thinking there is no other explanation
I'm sure I read something somewhere a good few years back that when applying to become a top grade referee in Scotland it actually had on the application form what is your religion, not that I myself am religious in any way. I'm really trying not to think in a certain way as I don't want anyone saying you are only thinking that way because they have the upper hand at the moment, the more I think about it though the more it stinks.

It's laughable as all the social media sevconites are all adamant Nick Walsh is a Celtic ref.
