Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

Comparing the current manager/players and how they manage situations to previous managers/players happens constantly.

Our wingers this year get compared to Jota/Abadas, strikers to Giakomakas, etc.

So I guess those comments aren't relevant either?

 

BRENDAN RODGERS could face an SFA punishment after his comments about referees.

The Celtic boss was raging at the involvement from VAR John Beaton in Sunday’s loss to Hearts

He hit out after the Hoops’ 2-0 defeat but could now find himself in hot water.

It’s thought compliance officer Martin Black hasn’t yet decided whether to cite the Parkhead boss.

But SunSport understands the club will be contacted at the very least following Rodgers’ uncharacteristic post-match outburst.

Rodgers blasted Beaton, claiming his decisions could cost the Hoops the title


Yang Hyun-jun saw red for a high boot on Alex Cochrane following Beaton’s intervention after on-field ref Don Robertson had initially flashed yellow.

The Jambos were then awarded a penalty for a handball by Tomoki Iwata after it was spotted by VAR and Jorge Grant gave them the lead from the spot.

Rodgers claimed the calls came down to the officials’ incompetence, which would appear to be a clear breach of the SFA’s judicial panel protocol.

Rule No72 Article 96.1 states: “no team official…under the jurisdiction of the Scottish FA, shall in an interview or in any other manner calculated or likely to lead to publicity (i) criticise the decision(s) and/or performance(s) of any or all match official(s) in such a way as to indicate bias or incompetence on the part of such match official.”


The penalty for a member of staff being found guilty can range from a two-match suspension to a 20-match ban at the extreme end.

But as he was speaking on behalf of Celtic, the club could also face a potential fine ranging from £1,000 up to the absolute maximum £100,000.

Rodgers has rarely criticised officials during both his spells in charge of the Parkhead side.


But asked on Sunday if it was the worst officiating he had experienced during his time in Scotland, Rodgers replied: “I think so

“I try to respect decisions and give the benefit of the doubt. But I think when I see that level of incompetence, which is the only word I can use, then that makes me worry for the game.

“In such a tight title race that can make the difference. I also think that VAR is not the problem here. That’s clear. It’s competence.

“I think the first one is a great example of the game being refereed outside of the pitch.

“The referee made the decision and someone outside made another decision to say it was a sending off.


That’s the game being refereed outside of the field and in big games that costs you.

“I’m not one who comes crying about referees, be it here or the English Premier League because I understand there will be mistakes made.

“But that today was awful officiating in what was a big game for us. My feeling is that the game was decided by the officials - on the field and outside of the field.

“The first one is the sending off when there is no force. Show a still image of that and of course and you will see a foot up with the head near it, but it’s not the reality of the move.


Don got it actually right on the field. It was a high boot, so it’s a yellow card – no malice or force.

“For John Beaton to actually look at that in VAR, supposedly under no pressure, and say that was sending off? I find that incredible.

“The second one is WORSE. If you have a penalty go against you for that then there will be penalties every single weekend and midweek.

I don’t know what he is supposed to do. Tomo is jumping, he got a nudge, he is coming down, the ball falls on to his arm and there is no intention to move. It was a poor day for the officials

 

Superb. A great opportunity to take these hun * to the cleaners. Expose the double standards and batter them with multiple examples of other people doing the same thing with not word spoken.

Hope it turns into a UK wide news story and the rat * get * pilloried over it. Bring it on ya scummy *.

 

Still want him gone but glad he's come out firing because that was a disgrace. Wish we would take the fine every time though and tell it like it is, rather than only when it costs us points.

 

Should be allowed to call out incompetence ffs fact they have that in rules to get sanctioned for is * disgrace and should actually be take to cas because that’s dictatorial

So rodgers will be punished for correctly pointing out their farcical decisions that cost us the game in a close title race but the officials that made the decisions can just carry on destroying our chances for us and other teams??? Like what is he supposed to do? Accept the blatant wrong decisions. That were overturned by an official not on the pitch? Shocking.

 

Rule 1690
No manager of Celtic FC can criticise any decision given by Sevco supporting officials as it’s only allowed by Sevco managers and board members and those in the Sevco loving media. It’s perfectly acceptable for Sevco managers to lambast and name Catholic officials such as Willie Collum particularly if Sevco lost the game. This season all Sevco supporting referees were given a clear directive to scrutinise every goal that Celtic score whilst turning a blind eye to any contentious decisions regarding Sevco. In the event that the referee is seen to be failing in favouring Sevco then VAR will intervene and make sure the bears win the game.
WATP

 

Hopefully our much maligned board (and rightly so) grow a set and back our manager up. Its time our club took a stance against those corrupt masonic hun loving feckers

 

SFA- What have you got to say for yourself.
Rodger’s- Beaton is a corrupt hun * just like the rest of scotlands refs and you *
SFA- We are fining you and 10 match ban
Rodger’s- See you in court you inbred *.

 

why is it even a rule that you cant point out bias or incompetent referees , i know the answer but it seems ridiculous that they had to make a law to cover their tracks

 

The Celtic board should take a dvd of the goldsons handballs in the penalty box over the last couple of seasons where beaton was the ref and say why is he not giving penalties for this but he gives a ridiculous penalty for hearts at the weekend.
The cheat needs called out and time the board grow a set of balls and call beaton out and show that * photo of him drinking in a sevco pub .

 

I won’t criticise him for what he said because I do like that he’s stood up for the club but it’s worrying. If he’s banned for the rest of the season which is definitely a possibility then it could cost us the league potentially.

 

This.

 

If Rodgers doesn’t come out and offer John Beaton a square go I want him out.

 

In England they let you call out mistakes, they punish refs for obvious mistakes. It's mental that you can't say they did something wrong.

 

I agree 100%, its about time that the board actually stood up and questioned this craziness....they have written a letter with their 'serious concerns'......* that....if ever they wanted to demonstrate that they are worth a fraction of their salaries, then turn up at the red card appeal / inevitable Rogers sanction, bring the evidence and ask the SFA to answer.....

 

If he's banned from the touchline, it would be nowhere near that length.

 

Post of the day mate. Superb.

 

If Rogers not on sidelines, won't make a blind bit of difference - he's already pretty much invisible there
