Albian Ajeti

Morelos got booked at Tannadice for his elbow but got a retrospective ban.

 

You don’t have to convince me mate I am with you all the way

go through last nights match thread and you will read many posts from our own fans that Ajeti dived

don’t need to be genius to understand the feelings of fans on social media and all of a sudden another narrative is introduced and low and behold our player is cited

Incompetence from the SFA for me on this one.

 

That and all the other dodgy decisions that have either went against us and the ones the huns have got to their advantage

 

Retrospective citations should never come down to incompetence when they've got the benefit of video to watch.

The video is conclusive that there's contact on Ajeti's heel and therefore it isn't simulation.

 

Hopefully we prove them wrong when we take them to task and * them over for once

 

Remember collum gave a penalty against us with his back to the challenge? Did that rangers player ever get done for diving that day bcoz that was never a penalty, the SFA flooded with Huns and we've known it for years, pity wee Fergus isn't about bcoz this pish wouldn't have happened under his leadership.

 

Celtic are preparing to fight SFA charges after striker Albian Ajeti hit with a two game ban for diving.




Ajeti is adjudged to have conned ref Kevin Clancy when winning a penalty in Tuesday’s 4-0 thumping of Kilmarnock.



Celtic sources say the Parkhead club are “astonished” by the ban and are planning an appeal which would see the Swiss frontman free to face Motherwell on Saturday.


Meanwhile Hoops skipper Scott Brown will face no action after being cleared over a second half flashpoint in which he appeared to catch Aaron Tshibola in the face.

Both incidents were reviewed by a three-man panel of former refs yesterday after being raised by the SFA.


Ajeti was hit with the notice of complaint after going down under a challenge by Kilmarnock goalkeeper Colin Doyle to win a penalty - scored by Odsonne Edouard - early in the second half in Ayrshire.


The ban would see him miss Celtic’s home clash with Motherwell and the trip to St Mirren on Wednesday. But should the Hoops appeal a fast track hearing will be held on Monday.

 

All again goes to show why VAR is not in operate in the spfl. Without a doubt by not having it the SFA and the refs have been able to sweep under the rug the numerous red cards that Merelos alone never mind other zombies should have been given this season which without a doubt would have cost them a lot of points. Maybe our PK gets over turned under VAR against Kilmarnock but for sure if we had VAR in operation we would benefit greatly over the course of a season from it.

 

Still have my doubt as the panel would consist of ex refs who, like their present day brethren, were just as bad

 

What I find completely astonishing is that if the referee spots it at the time and deem it simulation then he brandishes a yellow card. Yet because they have missed the incident Ajeti gets punished as though he gets a red and is banned for 2 games.....absolute madness but I suppose that’s what we’ve come to expect with the SFA.

For the record I don’t believe it to be simulation.

 

I think It was a dive, he's done it a few times for us and it's hard to accept from a Celtic player. I know the season isn't going well but if we have to resort to diving against these teams to get the goals we need then we've fallen even further than I thought.

 

No doubt whatsoever he made the most of it. Like 99% of footballers do in that situation. I am guessing they may be actually going to get Roofe for his assault the other night and this will be a sacrificial lamb to the hun hordes for "balance".

 

The problem is yes he went down easy but as soon as the keeper touches him the ref has a decision to make, and by the book it was a pen, a soft played for pen but a pen none the less. Over the course of the season I’m happy to take it as we often get shafted for being to honest.

 

That's good to hear, Roofe will 100% get a couple match ban for that challenge then

 

You would think so, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

I dearly hope I’m wrong, not that it matters but I don’t think they’ll ban Roofe. I’ll tell you what will happen though - as soon as they’ve won the league these * refs will all of a sudden start to see these type of fouls for what they are, red cards. Don’t fret though boys, normal service will be resumed as soon as the new season kicks off.

 

Glad we are contesting this...

It’s just the SFA trying to ‘ balance the books’ of their dodgy referee division..

Get the stats. out there for all to see.

 

I get what your saying totally and sadly you may very well be proven right. I was thinking as I typed the above that it might not solve the current and long standing "honest mistakes". You would hope it would but sadly you may very well be right. I would think though at the least it might help. When we all think of some of the many "honest mistakes" over the years so many of them were beyond blatant and with VAR showing everyone how bad the call is it would at least put them under severe pressure to make the right call.
