THIS IS WHY WE ARE 'PARANOID'!

I think this has all got out of hand personally and we;re focusing on this being the reason we are so far behind in the league. I agree there have been bad decisions in the last two OF games against us, but this isnt the reason we're so far behind. I also fear that should we lose the game on sunday we will blame the referee no matter what. Takes quite a bit of pressure off Mowbray as he will it was down to the ref. The ref is in an impossible position now, every single semi contentious decision will be replayed time and time again, and any he gets wrong against us will be brought up every single time this subject rears its head. Any he gets wrong that favour us will simply be brushed under the carpet and instantly forgotten about. I think we are playing a dangerous game here. Some posters on here would have you believe that there is conscientious effort on all of the SPL refs to penalise us no matter what, thats just plain ridiculous. What about decisions that have benefitted us this season, do we just ignore them and pretend they never happened. If we are sending a dossier to the SFA detailing decisions we feel have penalised us, you can bet your bottom dollar that someone at ibrox and probably other clubs are preparing similar dossiers on decisions to have went against them, you can be sure that celtic have gained benefit of dodgy decisions this season. This issue doesnt rear its head when we are winning games and leagues, so this will also be used against us that we only whinge about when we are losing. What about when we done 9 in a row, no complaints, only after when they started to dominate the SPL. I do agree that the standard of refereeing in scotland is absolutely shocking, but that filters down to every team not just us. I fully expect to be slated for this post, and called a hun once again for being reasonable minded but i dont buy the whole conspiracy thing at all. all i think Tm has done this time is feed the minds of teh paranoid element of our support.

 

I would hope that we will be in Premiership before too long, what are we going to do then when we get a few bad decisions against us, as inevitably we will?

If we come out with the same kind of thing we'll be the laughing stock of the league.

 

To my knowladge this was a matter between the sfa and celtic and someone from celtic has taken it upon themselves to leak it out.

Celtic have been done this season wether that is to do with incompatance or bias i don't know but we have been done none the less.

You look at the OP and think wow look at the amount of points we have had taken away but yet some celtic fans have ignored this on here and decided (once again) to have a go at the club and the supporters.

I look through this forum on a daily basis and all i see is celtic fans taking every oppertunity to put the club and the supporters down and they havn't mssed this oppertunity.

Why do you look at the opening post and then have the audacity to say that we haven't been done out of a number of pts.

We have been denied obvious decision after obvious decision yet you still say every team can be agreived.

Show me a team in the britian that can say they have been put at the dis-advantage the way we have.

 

The huns did the exact same in 2007/2008 season they had dossiers and they were claiming they had been completely stitched up with the fixtures and things like Diamonds last minute goal being chopped off against us. What happened to all the hun officials that season?

The huns were also going mental the first few weeks of the next season for us getting decisions.

We laughed at them at the time, they are probably laughing at us now, too many celtic fans need to take the blinkers off and see the bigger picture.

And I say this as a Derry man who lives in an occupied country and knows just what it's like to have the 'establishment' breathing down your neck.

 

These were?

Everyone knew there was no way the spl could extend the season.

 

Can't really remember that's for the huns to argue, but I remember the furore at the time I thought it was funny as *. :icon_mrgreen:

I think the opening game against St Mirren we got off the hook with something, and at Dundee Utd next game there was penalty appeals turned down for them or suchlike. I also remember big Mick punching it into the net one game last season too and the ref not seeing it.

We dont dwell on the decisions that go in our favour only the ones against.

 

So why are you coming on a celtic forum and putting a rangers fans argument that you cannot back up.

I can't remember what you are talking about here.

You are saying LIKE OTHERS that other teams have had the same amount of decisions without being able to back up what you are saying.

Time and time again people are saying look at the bigger picture but the truth is if you look at the bigger picture you see celtic should be top of the league.

Sure we are behind not only because of the referee incompatance but because of our own teams incompatance but i have made my thoughts on that clear in other threads.

So i don't see a problem with us asking the sfa to look at the qaulity of referees, it's not the clubs fault that some idiot has told the media about it and the media have then made it a HUGE subject.

We didn't make it a huge subject the media did.

 

Difference is they had no case to get paranoid about we have a case witch you surely cannot say we haven't.

 

Dont know what the slitty eyes are about I am no hun I can assure you of that.

The huns made the same arguments when they were behind in the league i am saying which says it all, we laughed at them at the time and rightly so.

The refs are * and there is no consistency I completely agree and Celtic were quite right to bring it up.

Conspiracy though, not for me.

 

I bet you Aberdeen, Motherwell or whatever could compile a list of decisions that have done them over this season. Every team will claim they have a case but I agree we've had a few against us this season, but we;ve had a few for like up at pittodrie that we dont dwell on cause it doesnt suit the argument.

 

once again you are saying something you can't back up.

You are saying "i bet"

How can you say i bet they have, how can you debate something with i bet.

You don't know that and i would be really suprised if anyone could come up with proof that anyother team in the uk has been denied as many pts as us.

 

I doubt i could up with a team in the uk who's own forwards had denied them so many points either. Had we been able to hit a barn door from 5 feet for most of the season we would be way out in front.

as for the Huns having complaints about ref decisions, of course they do, and if they had happened in reverse we would be screaming conspiracy, cheat, bias etc. We dont note these things because as celtic supporters we expect that these things should go for us and only note the things we feel we should have got but were denied.

 

We don't note them because they are not there, tell me decisions that they can feel agreived about.

A hun on real radio just said that but couldn't back it up either.

He was asked about what decisions rangers could feel agreived about this season and he said "eh.... penalty against aberdeen"

As for the part in bold i have said i don't know how many times that we are partly at fault for not taking our chances but everyteam misses chances not every team can come up with the stuff on the OP.

 

To me this has the fingerprints of Peter Lawwell all over it as he knows there will be a fair amount of Celtic supporters who won’t be to happy/angry if they win and he doesn’t want to see any of that anger/criticism being levelled toward the board. So what better way to avoid that by leaking this story knowing full well that the vast majority will blame the sfa/refs etc and their anger will be directed to them instead of where it should be. A board who have sat back for the last 3 years and watched us go backwards at an alarming rate and did fck all to stop it, their thinking being that rangers where */ skint so they could get away with and as long as we finished in front of them every year all the fans would be content. What a fckn laugh that’s turned out to be !.I’d like to ask Dr John, “ what’s so funny about rangers John ?, we’ve just about handed them another £10 mil to pay off their debt !“

 

To be fair all teams get a bit of the rough with the smooth BUT when its decisions that can have a direct bearing on a championship then they are scrutinised more and the scrutiny by all seems to show that rangers have benefited from quite a few and we have suffered with quite a few at major times . At times this season we have gifted goals to teams or failed to score a barrowload of chances BUT theres no denying these decisions have had a huge bearing on our season and had they been called correctly things may look very different

 

Get out more mate

We're just paranoid!!!

 

This Little SMIRKING * is one of the reasons that i'm paranoid!!!
He was a discrace today and it was more than the sending off. I just really hope that the SFA makes extra medals for THEIR referees because By * they have played their part this season.
