    I think it is important to look at this football corruption in the larger context. We have witnessed recently in Italy, where clubs like JUVE, AC, and others were bribing officials for years to get decisions their way.
    It is well known in spain that Madrid, get unfair preferential treatment, like the city council buying the clubs training ground to pay off debts and then gifting it back to to club.
    Sport at the highest level is corrupt and it is incredibly frustrating that rangers have that extra 12th man helping in every game.

    What we as a club need to do, is score more, keep winning, show the never say die spirit, and get rid of loovens.

    I find it hard to believe there's not something going on behind the scenes tbh. There will be people in the SFA who aren't biased against us but there surely will some who are, the evidence is there.

    this has not just happened in the 80,s. what about in the fifty,s when they tried to throw us out the league for flying the tri-color. right up to cadete,s discraceful offside decsicion. ask levein even he saw it for himself. ask lennon who,s supposed to be bein charged by the police. but it,s fine for miller to dance for half an hour. simple answer........... yes.

    The video on this link is very biased but nevertheless there is undeniable truth to it.

    Here the whole time
    scotland as a country with a population of roughly 5 million give or take has roughly 600,000 catholics,no matter what team you support in the league any division you have a preference for one side of the OF or the other, i know this for a fact having met and spoken to hundreds of fans of other clubs be it in work or on holidays, they will say"i support,eg hamilton,but have a wee soft spot for celtic or i support airdrie but have a soft spot for rangers" and so on and so forth,and with this usually based on respective religons then the odds are dramatically weighted against us.so you have to ask yourself one question, if you were a match official and in a position to influence a game in the direction of the team you either supported or "favoured" as a boy,or still do,what would you do yourself?when the adrenaline is flowing?personally i know i would take that option if i were in that position,even if it was just a sheer spur of the moment thing without thinking.so how often does the same thing happen in our game?

    I'm new to the forum but find this subject quite interesting, what benefit is there for the SFA to show a bias for or against any club ?

    the s f a are bias against celtic f c that's a fact but it's only part of what is rife in the biggest percentage of work place's all over scotland i've seen it first hand it's an abuse of power that's used to discrimanate against catholic's,how many have experienced or seen it in the workplace, how many on here grew up hearing there father's moan about the decision's against celtic an then say celtic dont only have to beat 11 men on the park we have to beat ref as well, it was rife then it's rife now and it'll still be rife in the future.

    It's rife in the percentage of UK workplaces, I live in Northern Ireland & have seen it all my working life, huns get the breaks & only select amounts of Catholics get a chance, to make the statistics look good,

    Back on topic though I fail to see the incentive for the SFA in showing bias though.

    Look im sure there is no SFA meeting at the start of the league were they all agree to * Celtic over and give the shame every possible chance of winning the league because of their financial situation. But its been pointed out here many times they are all Rankgers men and im sure they all would socialise or attend functions together were Im sure the subject of how to keep the shame in business comes up quite alot, and i doubt the phrase "wouldnt it be great to see Celtic win it this year" would be heard to often.

    Well all I can say is you are a very lucky person not ot come across it, I was the first ever Catholic to work in our maintenance dept when I started work, got in thro a training centre which was how I got thro they never knew what religion I was, it was never asked on the form, 37 years ago, and boy did I get pelters for 4 years but never let my head down and have had it over the years missing out on jobs because of it, so just because you are cocooned in your bubble doesn't mean it is not there, try reading Celtic Minded books then you will see in them since 1888 all the * ups with refs even drunk ones on the PARK

    Pointless thread, every Celtic fan knows the score. And to the OP your a fool if you genuinely cannot figure out that the refs are at it.
