    Bottom line is his view was blocked when it hit ledley and also a split second later when it hit wanyama, it doesn't matter if ledley caught it and started spinning it on his finger, if the ref does not see it he cant give it.

    No. If we dont play absolutely amazing every game were not going to win simple as that. If its a tight game we have to step up even further because of the officials!

    People keep saying his view was blocked but how do you know this? He claims he gave the penalty for the ball hitting Wanyama's hand and whilst Ledley and co condemn him the video's have proven there was hand to ball contact and right or wrong he was made referee to make a decision about such contact.

    I would also point out that if you were at the game you would have seen the incident from a totally different angle, which would no doubt have been affected by people of all manner of shapes and sizes standing up and probably jumping all around you.

    If you watched it at home I doubt you even saw everything that happened right away and only formed an opinion after one of many television replays from several different angles. That is unfortunately a luxury that the referee does not have.

    I think it's incredible what the media can do with publishing pretty much what is propaganda it's got people ignoring the facts.

    pictures and video prove that he wasn't looking at the incident and its actually ball to hand contact no one makes movement towards the ball to intentionally block it which is the defining factor in why it was a joke of a decision

    Unfortunately FANS don't have any RIGHTS.... if we wish to force the officials to explain their decisions then consumers rights can be a platform for this...

    not only about this match / ref or incidents but these people seem to be accountable to nobody and it's time that was changed... call him to the after match interview as they do with managers... ask him if he has seen the incident again...

    knowing they will have to be liable and give explanations may stop some of the "guessing" on their part... they can then call it as they see it. (or don't call if they miss it)..

    they will not be up for this no matter what the fans want... may have to be forced into it legally. I accept refs will never get it right all the time but they must be answerable to the people who pay their wages ( and that is you / me / fans / supporters etc ).. they owe us an explanation

    Ah, I get what you mean mate. Totally agree there, we are customers of the SPL/SFA.

    Yes.

    The fact of the matter is every time I come on this forum, or most forums, after a defeat it has NEVER been Celtic's loss. It's actually embarassing. If you truly feel we are being cheated why don't you all get together and report it to FIFA to investigate instead of throwing out wild claims that the referees hold a secret agenda meetings to dump Celtic out of games and trophies before you actually accept a defeat. Queue paranoid fan attacks because of my differnt opinion...

    You must only view Celtic Chat after a game that has a truly shocking decision because this forum has had to take plenty on the chin and have done with dignity.

    Find me 5 losses from the past 2 years in the SPL on the forum and prove me wrong. For every 10 losses in the SPL, on a guess I would say 7 of them are blamed on some anti-celtic refeering agenda.

    Why just when Lennon is in charge? We all know there's plenty officials and people that have a problem with Neil Lennon. Fact is, we can take defeat on the chin. Mowbray era or even Europe this year, take your pick mate. We've took defeats in Lennon's time with dignity but I'm not going to search for you since I've gave you the best example, Lennon's time in Europe.

    Hense why I said in the SPL. We won and drew a decent amount of games in Europe and when we got beat it was mostly away and we were outplayed. And maybe because Lennon has been the only one to critisice the referees? And since then, a majority of the support seems to not want to differ an opinion to Lennon, which is their choice. I'm simply suggesting that I think their is not an agenda against us.

    Seems a bit farfeched. Would rather we just said 'Oh * sake, Ki shouldve scored, we didnt take our chances.' Than 'The referee was a reptile from jupiter where they hate the sellick n had just came from his meeting to ruin Celtics chances of progressing to the final'.

    The fact is you are trying to make out as if we can't take a fair defeat, when it's clear we can. You said the SPL because we rarely are defeated or outplayed, we were outplayed in Europe as you said but gave a good account of ourselves. That was Celtic's loss and everyone to a man admitted that. I differed from Lennon about stopping the IRA chants and so did many others, nobody is afraid to differ from Lennon. We can just see clearly what happened yesterday. We were cheated.

    We should have won and Ki should have scored. It doesn't take away a very poor or dishonest decision at the end, whatever you may believe.

    Exactly. I've disagreed with Lennon on certain issues but I am 100% behind him regarding his actions yesterday, he was correct to confront the ref. I think he actually showed restraint, I was absolutely raging myself and don't think I would have only had a few words with the ref

    thanks 'fellow' celtic supporter, yes lennon shook Poalo's hand while being animated about how hard done by his side had been. Your right i'm not a FAN of celtic, i am a SUPPORTER! i love this football club, have been through the thick and the thin. however i can't ever remember celtic fans being so paranoid. yes we have always berated refs for being blue but it's becoming a complete joke and something i am actually embarrased about. Cha never touched the rangers player?? errmm ok. and hooper was onside?? if it had been the other way we would be witch hunting the ref for a poor decision!
    I will be truthful and i have in the past thought the same about the SFA and our refs but more recently i have decided this is all just complete nonsense.
    i'm not offended that you think i'm not a celtic man and if i am then you'd rather i wasn't I actually feel sorry for you AND the rest of our supporters who can't just enjoy the sport & club we all love without putting on our dissalusional tinited glasses and thinking everyone is out to get us....Please it's ludicrous!

    decisions go for us and against us,the bottom line yet again we have came up short everybody says we have the best squad etc in the country but surely to * this team is good enough to beat killie in a final and hearts,but the answer is no we have problems in this team or its the manager time will tell,lenny has to learn big time from this centre of that defence needs decent money spent on it and midfield needs a more creative player and a left winger,pacy strong striker as well,i would sacrifice ki,commons,sammy to pay for these additions

    I just wish for once the whole Celtic support backed our board,team and manager after these 'honest mistakes' are given against us.It's because there's a divide that there's nothing ever done about it.It takes a big * up like Dougiegate for it to come to light.

    anyone who thinks there isnt a blatant anti celtic bais need their heads looked at .Wait till you see how many decisions we get in our favour till the end of the season now theres nothing left to play for (just like when the refs were caught out over the dougie dougie * and had to pretend to be imparitial), all so the honest mistakes balance themselves out
