    No. It's at the end of the match. They are charging him with tying a scarf to the goalpost

    "No bother"

    It was woefully Refereed from start to finish though. The amount of soft fouls when * had barely touched each other was a disgrace, then the amount of corners given wrongly. Near the start Tierney tackled one of them at the touchline, missed the ball and put the player up in the air and he gave a goalkick, there was one for us up their end the guy fouled Sinclair the same way at the edge of the box and missed the ball and he gave a corner when it was a foul or goalkick, there was one for Forrest that came off them and should have been a corner and they gave a goal kick. The guy that done Armstrong ended up with Armstrong booked and him getting away with it which was the worst tackle in the game.

    There was a couple of fouls at the edge of their box on Tierney and Armstrong I think that were just ignored yet he was giving fouls at other times for players barely brushing against each other.

    Half of our corners too he blew the whistle and gave them a foul despite nothing going on in the box.

    * was probably * himself thinking this was a big mad Derby game that could blow up and was just constantly making a * of everything to stop the game from flowing or calm their fans.

    Id rather have had Madden, McLean and Dallas doing the Officiating thats how bad they were.

    That's exactly what happened. The ref shat it. Celtic refusing tickets must of put the fear in him then he researched and seen pictures of Scotty burning like it was normal ffs. Pansy *.

    I was only taking the * with previous comment. * should be banned from reffing.

    The ref was/is incompetent, ill equipped to handle a game of this nature.


    Probably ill equipped to handle any game lol, so many inconsistencies, lacking any common sense, the guy was brutal.

    Will Eufa take the refs incompetency into account though? Would've been 4 bookings if Griff never got one for getting a bottle thrown at him. A couple of they 4 didn't even warrant a booking. Surely they'll take this into account.

    So they throw the bottle, invade the pitch, and once again the powers that be have to find a reason to charge us just to make it "fair." * UEFA.

    One where the boy tried to snap Armstrong's ankle as well and he booked Armstrong for his reaction..

    High foot from Rogic where the guy completely made a meal of it..

    Broony got 1 and that's the only one I remember being like fair enough..

    Near enough every booking was when the * lost the plot after the bottle incident second half..

    He should never be near another one of our game's..

    Just re read the Griff sanction. Provoking fan's AFTER the game :56:
    He tied a scarf to a post right next to our end from 1 of our fan's..

    Unbelievable..

    Everytime Tierney shoulder barged their right back/right winger during 50/50's he'd blow for a foul for them. At one point second half he refused to give 1 or 2 fouls, corners just because it was by that stand..

    Oh dear oh dear...UEFA get a grip.

    Charges from the BBC site:

    One of the charges is against Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths for "provoking spectators" after the match.

    Would he have done this if their fans had not pelted him with objects? He still did it, but I'm inclined to say 'no'. The referee ignored Griffiths' protests in regard to the objects, Griffiths responded in his own way.

    Celtic have also been charged with "improper conduct of the team" due to the fact they picked up five or more bookings.

    The stats don't tell the story and there's no way this should be upheld. Two of these bookings were a direct result of Linfield's fans or players (the latter, in truth, actually behaved pretty well all things considered, although I thought they probably got an easy ride from the referee). Anyway the first incident was the Griffiths Buckfast Bottle, which should never have been a booking; the second was Armstrong for reacting (yes, Armstrong reacting) following a shocker of a challenge at the end of the game which should've at least been a yellow and could've been red given it could've resulted in serious injury. The circumstances surrounding these bookings should be taken into account.

    I hope UEFA review this with a bit of common sense, but I doubt it. The referee also has a lot to answer for but time will tell if anything gets done.

    I won't be paranoid. I am not a hun to see a "* hand" everywhere. I have no reason to believe that UEFA has more of a grudge against us than against any other team in Europe. But there must be a reason why we are * over so often and this has to do with a board that doesn't even try to defend us from abuse. I really can't see a situation where Linfield would have more leverage than us before UEFA, and the only thing that can rationally explain this is the board not giving a * and being faster to blame our own supporters than our rivals.
