Listening to the pod cast there . Great as usual . But see this whole honest mistake situation . Listen I am not tin hat conspiracy the worlds out to get us or that . But by god for how long has this been allowed to go on . And is it just me or is it getting worse by the game . It the classic give an inch take a yard . Because Celtic fc have not the balls to stand up to this . I really do think that now the fans have to start the momentum and be asking the questions. Surely if enough fans are bombarding whoever it may be with video or footage asking these questions . Or whoever someone surely has to answer one way or another . If it be me I would be bombarding eufa or the top
Dogs this all
Is not right and asking as we all
Stay quite it will just keep going on and on . now breath ? sorry for rant guys oh and grammar.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks, Paddy ? I'm the same way of thinking as you and don't buy into wild conspiracies but there is serious questions regarding a) the overall standard of refereeing in Scotland and b) the integrity of the whole refereeing organisation in Scotland. It needs to be brought when appropriate - which is nearly every week - and not so that it looks like sour grapes or looking for excuses for poor results AND it shouldn't be just down to Celtic to call this stuff out. Other managers & players should be allowed to criticise referees if they feel aggrieved about decisions but they're hands are tied and there is no process to allow even mediation between managers and refs to explain decisions they've made, referees should be held publicly accountable for obvious errors and allowed to explain why they made the decision they did.
I would love for someone from the press or even from our fan media to ask Ange what he thinks of the standard of refereeing in general in Scotland - and ask other managers/platers too.
I've said it for months on the pod that refereeing should be taken out of the hands of national FAs and let UEFA/FIFA run it and allot referees for the top leagues in countries.}

I thought it was rather interesting what you said yesterday ed007 we were given 27 fouls against us yesterday which if Aberdeen had 100% of the ball would equate to a foul just over every 3 minutes of the game, as it happens they had the ball for 40% of the match which would be roughly a foul to them every 1.30 minutes. If you factor in 50/ 50's and the like you are probably looking at us being penalised every 1.45 minutes.

My calculations may be wrong I'm not really sure, if they are correct that is just ridiculous.

Maybe the resident stato buzz bomb could confirm or deny my numbers are correct?

{Ed007's Note - It's ridiculous mate. I mean if that Ramsay is one of the best young defenders in Scotland then Aberdeen and the national team are in for a Hell of a time in the future the amount of times a wee guy like Jota fouled him, talk about powderpuff. That lad should be embarrassed with himself after yesterday, swaggering about and growling like a wee hard man but getting bullied about off of Jota who is about the same size as Mikey Johnston.}

royjac,
I noticed a few Celtic sites have wrote about the amount of fouls Celtic have been penalised for since the start of the season.
They came up with a formula which included the ball actually being in play for a Approximately 60 minutes in a game.
Flashscore gave Aberdeen 37% possession for the game yesterday.
That would only be 22 minutes 12 seconds of possession of actual ball in play for Aberdeen.
Celtic committed 27 fouls yesterday, which means Bobby Madden gave Aberdeen a foul every 49 seconds from actual playing time.
If you look on the banter page 2,there’s similar statistics for the Hearts V Celtic game when Bobby Madden was the referee.

ed007 I actually couldn't believe what I was watching yesterday I was a joke.

Yea Buzz the Hearts game was also a joke to be honest and how the challenge by halliday wasn't a red beggared belief.
