    If I was sad enough I would sign up to a hun forum, make a thread "Do you find Ally embarrassing" then vote yes with a thousand alias accounts :icon_mrgreen:

    When you look at them they are well known people around the forum. Most probably voted around the time he let us down at some points.

    What was the outcome of this was it ever proven? (not being sarcy, this is a genuine question)

    If there's an institutional bias against celtic why was the rangers goal in the 1 0 game earlier in the season not given

    No, he's a young manager and had a lot to deal with during his short time as manager. Has he made mistakes? Yes but i wouldnt say he's an embarrassment.

    Because it was literally impossible to call?

    Why would you use a contentious decision in one match as proof that you are right against cold hard facts that I have posted ad nauseum in this thread?

    Jim Farry, Dougiegate, SFA trying to force us to take down the tricolour, Dallas and his emails, even Queens Park trying to stop us flying the tricolour when we played at Hampdump when CP was being rebuilt.

    All of that should be ignored because the huns never got a goal that took many watches to determine if it was over the line?

    Nae offence pal but get your head out the sand :50:

    edit.

    Forgot to mention the disgraceful Scotland cap tally of the most successful team in Scottish football history.

    Is anyone else a bit worried about him? he looks very downtrodden at the minute:97: Seen his interview the other day after the game and he had bags under his eye's(very noticeable) he's also been very angry on the touchline... (and on twitter)much more than usual.

    Do you blame him? He has just buried a friend and been the main witness in what should have been an attempted murder trial on his life

    It's testament to the man that he is still going strong.


    on another note, why do people keep ignoring my posts :31:

    If the referees were biased against celtic they wouldn't be trying to call it right they would have given a goal if they thought there was the least wee chance it had crossed the line... That's your point is it no?


    Am no going to get into * for tat here because I don't want end up as the hun in a celtic rangers argument, but I will ask how this has effected us on the pitch? Why if the SFA were so against us, Why were we allowed to win 42 (soon to be 43) league championships?

    Tell you what mate. I'll keep posting facts and you keep asking questions...


    Why don't you ask our most successful Captain what he thought?

    I'm sure he knows much more than you or I on the subject.

    No I don't blame him. I'm just saying I was a bit worried for him, I think he needs a break.

    I'm not ignoring your posts if that was directed at me. I'm off to bed, I'll reply to any quotes in tomorrow.

    Fair do's mate. I actually agree. Neil could really be doing with some respite about now. Hopefully we can wrap up the title this weekend and maybe the media will realise what he has been through in the last couple of years and cut him some slack.

    First part should happen, second part... not a hope in * * :87:

    Well, hold on now. An institutional bias against Celtic doesn't mean that the League is fixed, it just means that it would be more difficult for us to win. We would get less calls than we should; they would get more calls than they should.

    It wouldn't be a conscious effort to fix the league, it would be referees who identify more closely with Rangers than with Celtic and therefore on close calls, when they go with their gut, allow themselves to be influenced by outside thinking-"Sean Celticplayer is a diving * anyway, and John Rangerscentraldefender is a standup guy-that probably wasn't a penalty." Not a conscious thought of "I want to make sure Celtic loses", but something more subtle.

    spot on mate :50:

    there isn't a premeditated agenda to cheat Celtic.

    However, when you have an organisation who historically have employed people of a certain persuasion then you are going to get instances of bias... institutionally.

    I would be the same if they employed me :fear:

    I think that's pretty close to the truth.

    When we lived in Edinburgh my mum knew a referee. She asked him if he 'supported' a team and he said if he had a preference it would be for Rangers(surprised eh?). So she asked him if that meant he ever gave decisions for Rangers that he shouldn't, he said no. But he also admitted that if there was 50/50 decision in a Rangers match, and he wasn't totally sure which way to give it, then he'd probably lean towards giving Rangers the benefit of the doubt.

    I can't imagine that guy was the only referee to operate in that fashion.

    Nope proud of Lenny to be our manager.

    Edit - clicked on yes instead of no by accident.

    They are rarely, if ever, done wrong with the level of bizarre decision that they have benefitted from over the years. All refs can make mistakes but they seem to get the advantage of these mistakes all too often. That is not a timmy paraniod conspiracy theory as it was backed up a couple of seasons ago (in the huns' time of need coincidentally) when over half the other SPL managers (excluding ours) publically stated they were on the recieving end bad calls against them.

    I do agree with you to an extent that some take it too far with what are in reality hard calls to make but I dont do that and if you want to search my posts you will see I said Wanyama deserved to be sent off against them (many didn't think so) last week. However what I was saying was annoying me is that there are far too many for my liking that think the possibility (despite clear evidence, some of which Sean posted) of maltreatment is a nonsense. I dont think that anyone can argue that in big games we seem to get the rough end of the stick disproportionally. Not in every game but enough to raise the proverbial eyebrow over the years.

    Levein and Butcher spring immediately to mind in the recent past who have spoke of never getting the big decisions at Ibrokes.
