Do you believe the SFA is against Celtic?

Quite simple.

Are these decisions just poor officiating, or is there something mroe sinister at hand?

At first I thought it was just down to the poor standard of refereeing in Scotland, but it seems to be happening so often over the past 12 months (possibly longer).

Actual answers, rather than just '* the SFA ' please :icon_mrgreen:

 

If there wasn't a conspiracy before, I bet there is now. I think the SFA are getting seriously * off with us these days. What do they expect though? Every other week we're on the end of shoddy refereeing decisions that are costing us points and, ultimately, trophies. We'd be selling ourselves short if we didn't draw attention to it.

I posted in another thread last night that I actually DO feel like the world is out to get us these days. All the atrocious refereeing we've suffered over the last 18 months added to the way Neil Lennon is being treated by the SFA and the bullets being sent to Celtic players just makes me feel like my club is under attack.

I am fast developing a siege mentality and beginning to feel extremely bitter about the way events are unfolding.

 

Agree with Paul. For starters that Forrest type tackle happens nearly every game if it was malicious and intended to cause injury he would never have slid in front of him he would have went through him, the McAllister tackle was a straight red and deserved as he went right through the player. As Celtic fans we read the papers and the SFA sees this all the headlines about corrupt officials, ect - at the same time we are looking for the bad points and they know this.

We are on the recieving end right now and have been for a while wrong decisions I would point out the bad points about last nights game but Paul has covered them - even listen to the aftermatch analysis with Neil Mcann and he backs it up, we were hard done by the SFA and they are making Lennon some sort of scapegoat for this charade they are pulling on a weekly basis.

 

Yes.

It feels as if everything is against us. If we're on the end of the same amount of bad decisions for the second half of this season - we're definitely not going to win the league, that's how regular these 'honest mistakes' are occurring.

I have never seen such clear bias in my life, some of these decisions, you couldn't even claim to be mistakes - it's blatant cheating but the posts above have just about covered everything.

Something has to be done by the club, we're been cheated out of this league.

 

Possibly a siege mentality might actually benefit the club?

Them against us type of thin. The establishment will try to stop us but Celtic won't die, and we certainly won't accept it quietly.

 

Yeah i do, and its not as far fetched as some make out...
2006 Italian football scandal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

yes! this should bring the players and management closer and push them on to win the league and stick 2 fingers up to the corrupt *! these bullets,threaths and ridiculous bans should make us come out fighting!

 

They tell us we are paranoid, and perhaps we are.....

but the amount of major decisions that go against us is not right. I dont think its a case of people sitting down and conspiring against us, but they are probably egged on by colleagues etc to see how we/lennon/celtic react.

If we win the league this year, it will be as sweet a victory since we stopped 10 in a row from the shame.

 

I'm fairly sure that will be one of the motivational tactics Neil Lennon will be using within the dressing room. Siege mentalities are a great motivator.

The foreign players have to fully comprehend it and take it on board though.

 

The same linesman last night who could not see an attacker clearly a yard offside yet can see the ball go out (by a few inches at most) from a corner kick when he has a set of goalposts hampering his view?? ...how can he see past the goalposts and be 100% sure that ball went out when he can't see a guy go beyond the last defender with not one person blocking his view? outrageous that this seems to have been sweeped under the carpet AGAIN ! It's gone on for years but Celtic must keep the pressure up on the SFA, sooner or later the truth has to come out ! Hopefully this spurs the hoops on to defy the scum and take the league !

 

I was speaking to a guy last night who said the same linesman has been on the end of alot of awful decisions at Celtic Park too.

These guys are just as bad.

 

Yes of course there is.

Considering the SFA is majorly full of * hun dinosaurs....who grew up spouting hatred and vile towards our team and our people.

Let's be honest here...if any of you were referees or SFA chiefs etc....would you be giving decisions to your rival team? Or would you strive to * them at every opportunity? I sure as * would if i was in that position....

Difference is it is NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!!

Look at the * that were on that disciplinary panel for a start...

Killie chairman Martin Johnston....* HATES Celtic!

George Peat....top kiddie......part of the old non-catholic signing policy at his time at the huns

Hugh Dallas...just been sacked for showing his true colours....

These are but a few examples......there are plenty more wolves in sheeps clothing inhabiting the SFA and senior positions of this Country's game!


* THE SFA!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

of course the SFA are an evel bunch and should be stoned, "the * lot of the *"

 

all of the above

 

If the going rate for a major fuckup in a game is the apology that we got from dallas and thomson last season in which they admitted "the away team" was on the end of a wrong decision at hunpark.. Why has there been no apology for the lies sourounding the dougie dougie fiasco , what about the blatant handball they "failed to see" in the game at tynecastle a couple of months ago when camera angles showed the same ref and his linesman had perfect views of the incident..

They aren't even trying to be seen as impartial.. It's pure definace agaisnt Celtic for not taking it lying down.. The Ledley sending off aside - that game at Tynecastle had about 15 blatant wrong decisions against us which started from the 1st minute..
The same with the recent Motherwell game at home where the ref wasn't slow in showing who he was favouring , yet doesn't even apply the rules correctly when ignoring Lasley's blatant handball that would have seen him sent off.. Again last night from the tackle on Kayal onwards he was intent on giving us an uphill task.. Of course we do get some decisions go in our favour but they don't tend to be game changing ones and they usually come later in the game as if to say things level themselves out over the 90 minutes.. I rarely even watch the huns play yet they got a penalty against Inverness for a Beattie dive when he was at least a yard offside but this doesn't even get a mention in the press.. Instead we get billy bluenoses like Chick Young puting the boot into us saying we do get the big decisions , none more noticeable than "the free-kick" at his beloved love st 3 seasons ago which he stills brings up every other week..

 

I look at it in the way of the chances of it not being some form of bias. How many times can one club be on the receiving end of such bad calls. I'm not talking close offsides or borderline penalty calls, I'm talking decisions that everyone bar the officials seem to know are wrong.

Over the last 2 seasons we have suffered numerous amounts of these. Anyone who was in any doubt should watch the rerun of last nights game. As someone alluded to earlier, how can the linesman not see the offside. It was from a dead ball so there is no excuse that it was split second or he was behind play. He made a deliberate choice to let that go.

I also noticed that about 30 seconds prior to Forest being sent off that he failed to award Forest a free kick. Forest bent his ear over this and Collum took his revenge on him as soon as he could. It was a farcical decision.

There was also an over the ball tackle by an Accies player in the first half which Collum clearly seen and did not even book the guy for. It was a clear red card.

We then must assume one of two things. Either the officials literally do not know the rules or, they choose not to apply them fairly where we are concerned. As they must sit basic exams to be graded (i know they were * recently) you can safely say its not the first option.

 

I'd say it's in the woodwork. More than sme people definitely, always has been.

And now getting more blatant than ever. It's a 'GIRFUY ya taig *, wanna appeal again? Go ahead, cos we arra people and we are gonnae shaft yese good' kind of attitude.

There's an obvious agenda. It's transfuckinparent.

An agenda. Orchestrated. Disgraceful cheating and they give a donald duck who sees.
