    I'm becoming repetitive, but I still cannot believe more hasn't been said about their second goal, which clearly should not have stood, Lenny did mention it after the game though.

    That linesman had a worse game than Murray, made two big mistakes, one lead to a goal and the other possibly denied us a goal as well.

    Those saying the referee did will today, taking the "big calls" out of it, when was the last time you watched an old firm game and didn't see a yellow card until the 78th minute?

    Really felt for Sammy today. A very poor refereeing performance to put it mildly.

    He had to get brought down in the box before the ref actually acted on people taking him out the game.

    The way the ref was today, if we never got that penalty, no one would have got booked on their side even though they continually brought him down.

    Stokes was also denied a clear goal scoring opportunity when he was incorrectly flagged offside.

    Refrees from outside the country with no vested intrest is the only answer.

    The ref played a blinder.
    There was no way we were going to be allow to win the title today, what odds would you got on Lennon or any Celtic player seeing red?
    Cha's red card changed the game in their favour.

    Ruined the game sending off Cha; suprised he even gave a foul never mind send somebody off.

    Wanyama sending off was by "the letter of the law" a red card but to over look the part of Steven Whittaker in the challange is beyond belief. Second goal was offside but thats up to the linesman in that case.

    Overall he was very poor. Now people may say we were poor but to be honest and I stand by this point "We weren`t allowed to win today."

    Call me paranoid or whatever; thats my opinion and is as valid as any other.

    Murray cheated under orders, and I have no doubt his pay off is on its way

    Both reds were soft but we gave the ref the chance to make the decision because we cannot defend properly. Cha was done for pace and out of position so took the chance. Wanyama seemed to have a rush of blood to the head and made a tackle he didnt have to make. The referee ruined the game today in my opinion, but we cost ourselves the game by a lack of discipline and a lack of common sense positioning at the back.

    We lost today because of a.) we were poor and b.) the decisions went against us (and in that order). We can only impact a.) so that is what we should concern ourselves about.

    he was * shocking to give cha a yellow would have been harsh but a red was typical orders to make sure we didn't win today and it was the same with wanyama another perfectly good challenge but yet again that * had to be centre of attention. he deserves all of the abuse that comes his way

    Personally I don't think he was overly bad. The first goal came from awful defending and Cha's red card was soft but he did have his hands over him and had been done because of his bad positioning once again.

    Wanyama's was a red card because players are told over and over again such tackles are frowned upon and to do so, regardless of him getting part of the ball, gets you sent off. Yes, he got some of the ball but with those tackles it is about what might happen if you do not get the ball and instead get the ankle.

    The only major problems I had with him were a lack of consistancy regarding holding and shirt pulling. Kerkar was booked for a first offence and yet Whittaker somehow got away with blatantly rugby tackling one of our boys before doing the same again in the penalty area.

    He should have been on a yellow for at least 30-40 mins and considering his limited defensive ability that might have resulted in another red card to even the scores.

    mate his arms were no where near him he leaned into him but to give a free kick was a * joke never mind a red card. as for wanyama he didn't even touch the player in fact the player stamped hi after he won the ball if anybody think callum murrray was good or deserves pass marks they need to watch it again and realize this cretin was put in to make sure we didn't win the league the day

    She's right. We could have Messi playing instead of Cha today and we still wouldn't have won.
