THIS IS WHY WE ARE 'PARANOID'!

Well...eh...Argued

 

doesnt matter really.. does it... aint gonna change anything... all ifs and buts...

only truth is the league table.. were behind, thats all i care about

 

its been goin on for a hundred years,this country has become used to it,
a referee in the sixties was sacked for giving celtic a "favourable" decision.
kenny dalglish was dropped unexplicably the day he was about to equal
george youngs consecutive record for scotland caps.
as always we have to win games well so that decisions dont affect us.
the huns will always get decisions nothing we can do about that.
this time last year walter smith actually named a linesman (murphy)who
he thought had not been favourable to them,i take it the establishment
has now rectified the situation for mr.smith.

 

was this what was in the paper the other day? I heard the paper had an artical on the dodgy ref decisions ?

 

I don't think so.. There was a reporter who writes in an English paper who was highlighting incidents going against Celtic , but this was just after the OF game I think.. This Stuart Dougal tube has a newspaper column and either sits on the fence , blindly backs the officials , or digs up a situation from the past where an equally wrong decision cost Celtic and then justifies the currently debated one by saying both refs chose to take the same action at those times so they must both be right..

 

Ultimately Dougal tried to lambast the Motherwell player MORE because he followed in to tap the ball over(Forbes),and that this caused the ultimate "mistake",on the linesman's part.What underlies this is the acceptance,by Dougal at least,that the linesman COULD'NT SEE the incident,so the decision was a guess! In my reading of this,it means that said linesman made his call based on what he WANTED to see,not what he actually saw.In any case,would a ref not consult his linesman on any incident not clear to him? If vice versa had been applied this goal would have stood if Dougal's reasoning were to be applied! HAIL FKN HAIL

 

Have just gave this a quick scan so sorry if i repeat what someone has said...

I do agree that all those decisions were disgraceful ..but whe shouldnt be relying on penalties to win games if we cant put the all in the net in open play we wont win anything

i'm not sure wether it's just poor refereeing or wether they are out to get us but i do know every team gets decisions going against them thats football maybe we just rode our luck with Oneill and this is us makng up for it lol

 

Spot on mate. All this talk of "the establishment" being against us is rubbish. As I said earlier all teams are the victims of bad decisions, all teams benefit from them. Let's not forget that one teams bad decision is another team's excellent piece of refereeing. Of course it's harder to find mistakes that went in our favour because when things go in your favour you're less likely to view them as mistakes.

 

Did you even read the original post, mate?

 

I've been getting it in the ear all day from Huns I work with claiming conspiracy re their game being called off and handing an advantage to us going into OF game. Also loads of comments re Keano not getting sent off for kicking ball at goal after whistle blown for offside. Agree with them or not, we would we shouting if it was in reverse. Dont even ask about the grief im getting over the McGregor assault, we dont know if it was one of us but can you imagine how we would be if it had been keane getting battered badly in the street.

 

Speak for yourself, mate, I don't think ANYONE here will agree with this. It's a stupid rule in the first place and wether a Rangers player got booked for it or not, it wouldn't mean anything to me.

The huns are rightly raging that their in-form, first choice goalie got attacked by a moron (Celtic fan or not), so ofcourse any Celtic fan would be outraged if it happened to Keane or anyone else related to Celtic, but if a silly "point" to try and make.

I'd also like to point out, as I have before with regards to your posts, you certainly seem to go out of your way to defend Rangers at any given oppertunity...

 

Listened to Talksport there n that * Adrian Durham was basically saying it was a Celtic supporter and because a Celtic supporter did it the game should be called off until mcgregor is fit to play in it, most likely just to get a reaction out of people like me, however nothing has been proven yet once again our name is dragged through the mud by not even scottish press but a uk commercial radio station

 

funny how u always notice the small decisions we seem to get sniff sniff sniff

 

Noticed that myself,

Steve you have an intresting post history there i must say

 

:frilly:steve would also rather have boyd than kean in another post

 

I stated my reasons for preferring Boyd in the post and i stand by them, Boyd scores goals in the SPL and doesnt need two or three chances to convert simple as that. If we had Boyd earlier this season we would be way out in front in the SPL. Keane is a far far superior player when it comes down to it, but Boyd will score more goals. Keane will score plenty and also create chances for himself and others from nothing, whereas Boyd is a very effective poacher and nothing else. If we were able to convert the amount of chances we create there wouldnt be as much finger pointing on this board. As far as me being a Hun, thats just laughable. I am fair minded though and prepared to say it as I see it, and dont buy into referees all being out to get us. There are too many inconsistencies throughout the SPL which i blame on the refereeing standards, not as a campaign against us. Every team has had bad decisions against them, and also recd benefit from poor decisions also. If by not being paranoid makes me different to you, and no longer classes me as a celtic supporter then your being very small minded. If you agree to disagree then thats fine but im not getting into a prolonged argument over my opinion when we are all supposed to be on the one side.

 

stevie looks to me that you should get your black strip and whistle out of retierment and go to ipox this sunday think we would get a fair game if you were in charge

 

Lol - The idea of 50,000 scots and irish all screaming at me and calling me a * is not how i would enjoy spending a sunday. I think i'll stick to watching the game and being one of the crowd doing the screaming

 

Totally agree with all the points. I've been saying this for ages, the amount of decisions that have gone against us this season have definately affected our league position. That's why i'm backing Mowbray!

 

great post,great read,* disgraceful decisions
