Scottish football

The audio from these incidents should be made available to the clubs, then the public. I find it incredible it's not widely available. For me, it makes it look like the referees want to keep things hidden, so they can try to cover up any balls ups they've made.

As for the honest mistake thing, I find it hard to believe John Beaton, and Andrew Muir would deliberately cheat TRFC.

Personally, I would like to have heard the audio of the conversation that led to Silva being awarded a penalty in the 3 - 3 game last season, when the only footage shown to John Beaton completely missed out Alistair Johnston winning the ball.

Totally agree with the audio being always made available.

What about these moments -

Yards offside Celtic goal allowed in LC final 2019

Morelos goal disallowed at Parkhead by VAR

No immediate VAR review of blatant handball in box (also Parkhead, NY game)

Dessers goal disallowed at Ibrox by VAR

Another goal disallowed at Ibrox in 3-3 game, also VAR

- Alastair Johnston plays basketball in the box

- Kemar Roofe goal chopped at Ibrox last season

- play pulled back 60 yards and goal chopped off again at Ibrox last season

- Scottish cup final goal chopped off for a ridiculous “push”

Sima goal in Cup Final disallowed by VAR

- Sunday and we are denied a stone wall penalty.

Is VAR really worth all the hassle when after spending so much money and time on it they still can't get it right.

Don't know who article is from tbh.

Take it you don't think it should have been a penalty then?

It's a penalty if it happened to Everton

But funnier to say it isn't

As even the unbiased commentator said he took it too quickly, ref had told him to wait for his signal!

Think the answer to that once again goes back to the incompetant/dodgy officials in charge of it!
The VAR technology isn't the problem?

 

[larbert toffee]

Nothing like an old firm cup final to bring this thread alive though the irony is for the good of Scottish football it would be good to see provincial sides battling it out.

 

[larbert toffee]

Grenade incoming!

I don't hear the old firm officianado's complaining when they get the bulk of decisions against the provincial sides.

*Runs for cover.

 

[The Celtic View]

Glad to see you agree about the apparent frequent' honest mistakes' been made and that Rangers were robbed of a potential match winning penalty!

Easy solution would to be to bring in match officials and VAR team from outside of Scotland for Old Firm matches?

It would take away all the shouting and finger pointing regarding possible affiliations and integrity of match officials in Scotland.

Or would you have a problem with that?

Would I have a problem with something Celtic supporters have wanted for decades, and mocked for it by Rangers supporters, of course not. I would be absolutely delighted with that.

What about all those decades of bluenoses with whistles making ludicrous decisions in favour of the oldco, and it being passed of as 'honest mistakes'? Is it only cheating when Rangers get a bad decision against them, but honest mistakes when Celtic get a bad call?


I think supporters of the other clubs would have a point if they asked why should Celtic and TRFC get foreign officials, but they have to put up with Scottish officials?

Perhaps if foreign officials had taken charge of last seasons Scottish League Cup final, Aberdeen may have been awarded a couple of penalties?

Well sooner it's done the better then for everyone!
Do it for all top league games as well, even better.

There's a reason why Scottish referees are not involved when the European championships and World Cup tournaments come around?

There’ll be an apology due for this boot in the back too

Come on now, Connor. Bad decisions that go in favour of TRFC are fine. It's only when they go in favour of Celtic there's a problem.

Jefte's foul on Kuhn was a bad one. It looked like he tried to injure Kuhn.

P.S. I've noticed some TRFC fans asking for foreign referees' England, Germany, and Scandinavia , are some of the places they've suggested. Referee's from Spain, Italy and Portugal, didn't get a mention. I wonder what they've done wrong not to get a chance?

You're scraping the barrel now ffs!

Surprise! Your captain doesn't seem to keen on the european refs!
Wonder why?

What is it you are claiming here? Are you claiming TRFC supporting officials John Beaton, and Alan Muir, deliberately cheated the newco?

Are you claiming that the assistant VAR official, who is a Celtic supporter, Frank Connor, has overruled his bluenose colleague and swerved the penalty claim?

If it's just that our officials are incompetent, I highly doubt they're any more incompetent than when they decided to award TRFC a penalty after Alistair Johnston won a tackle, and Silva ran into his trailing leg and collapsed.
