'Honest' mistakes 24/25

Turkey FA have announced they will use foreign officials for VAR because of clubs claiming there's bias and time Celtic and other clubs here call out for the same then but won't hold my breath on our board asking for this .

 

What is the punishment for punching the ball into the net? If Kyogo did it, they would be calling for a ban.

 

If they lose at Dundee we can win the league on 2nd after the split, and obviously every game after that. I'd imagine they'll make it week 1 to avoid the possibility. The derby match is the only one they admit to being able to actually move around, for security/safety reasons

Andriy Shevchenko’s polygraph plan to clean up Ukrainian refereeing – and why it’s working

This would be some laugh in Scotland

 

Just stop paying for it = say we want a Turkish solution = massive story ...obviously if the duopoly is restored with them getting the £50m this year then of course we'll stand strong and VAR and the SFA will clean up...a bit... but until then = nothing to see here...The blatant corruption is all about that £50m and them restoring financial parity, which is why nothing will be said for awhile yet...can't have a one team league!

Although them editing highlights to show the on field ref = oof that's a big one to take to UEFA.

 

Not sure if it's in the huns thread but that Goldson handball at the weekend, lol. Andrew Dallas at it again.

 

Not going to lie, first reaction was fake news to fuel the conspiracy.
Checked it out myself on tranfersmarkt (SPFL only from 2017/18 to present day)
Difference between awarded v conceded

• Rangers +48
• Celtic +23

And we won all titles (bar one) by a distance, with a LOT more goals - on that basis it should be other way around.
Biggest % difference is pens conceded - rangers conceded almost half penalties we did at 14 v 26.

 

The stats are damning in their own right.

Watch our games a lot of the penalties given against us are terrible decisions. We've not been awarded stonewall penalties.

Watch Rangers games and they get penalties for next to nothing, or sometimes even nothing. How many times have managers been fuming at not getting big decisions when playing Rangers.

There was also stats to show when penalties were awarded. A lot of our penalties were meaningless and only made a win a bigger win. Rangers get their penalties when they are struggling and need something.

I really don't see how anyone can argue against what is clear to see on the park and backed up by stats.

 

The work Alan Morrison (Celticbynumbers) done on this is pretty damning you need to get in the Rangers box more than twice as many times as Celtics to get a penalty. It is over 360 entries (can’t remember the right number) before they concede a penalty. We are around 170, I am sure he said.

The differential is what stands out, you have two teams who dominate the league, us more so than them, yet you have Celtic conceding a penalty not far out of line with the same frequency as Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen and other normal top 6 teams, they are miles out in that.

Someone on here also showed that against that next level club in Scotland Celtic had conceded I think it was one more penalty than we were awarded against that opposition. Rangers were close to +20 penalties against them. So it wasn’t even close.

 

2016-now Penalty Difference in Celtic/Sevco/Aberdeen/Hibs/Hearts games against each other in the League

Awarded
23 Sevco (13 Aberdeen, 6 Hibs, 2 Hearts, 2 Celtic)
19 Aberdeen (7 Hibs, 5 Celtic, 4 Hearts, 3 Sevco)
19 Hearts (8 Celtic, 7 Aberdeen, 4 Hibs)
18 Celtic (8 Hibs, 4 Hearts, 3 Aberdeen, 3 Sevco)
14 Hibs (5 Aberdeen, 4 Hearts, 3 Celtic, 2 Sevco)

28 Aberdeen
25 Hibs
18 Celtic
14 Hearts
8 Sevco

Penalty Difference
+15 Sevco
+5 Hearts
0 Celtic
-9 Aberdeen
-11 Hibs

Celtic have had -1 penalty in our last 83 League games against Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts, Huns have had +16 against the same 3 teams.

Hearts haven't had a League penalty against the Huns since the Old Club in 2012, Craig Beattie took it.

 

Lundstram basically kicking the Dundee player over from behind earlier whilst Dundee broke no card. Tripped the Dundee player first half about to shoot just outside the box. The usual..

Gets away with murder..

 

I wonder how many were repeat fouls aswell???

 

33 fouls and 1 yellow……. What the *

 

Sometimes winning the league etc, can put things like this on the back-burner, we absolutely need to push for change.

 

Where would they be without the help of the refs

 

One thing I will say last night wasn’t like Beaton with us, Robertson never booked anyone until injury time when Dundee boy got booked or time wasting.

Lawrence, Tavernier and Sima all should have been booked minimum but Dundee had a couple of boys lucky not to get a booking too. Robertson had one of those games where he just decided no one was getting carded.

 

Sima and lundstram should’ve deffo seen yellow. The sima one stood out the most to me though imagine us making a foul like that no question of a yellow

 

Anyone got the gif of Lundstram tryna hack the Dundee player from behind and Robertson playing advantage..

It's never no been a yellow that, was scandalous he never got the caution. Happens all the time with them..
