What is a realistic response we can expect from the SFA?

They cannot give a penalty unless there 100% sure and see the incident both of which they will claim is the reason for not giving it 1 of them never seen it the other was not 100% sure or some utter bullshit anyway . They both seen it so anything we get back from them will be pure baws !

 

He's an absolute pish ref McLean as is Bobby Madden but its as obvious as * these "Blues Brothers" are being promoted up to become the new Dallas and Willie Youngs etc soon we'll have Dallas boy among them.

Then for a decade we'll be told we are paranoid as the three of them continually get Glasgow Derby and Cup finals and semis

 

Bookmarking this for posterity.

5 years from now these will be our new class 1 referees, getting European matches and jaunts to the four corners of the globe.

 

McLean will be demoted to the Championship until the end of the season, coincidentally just in time for the playoffs, in order to "prove himself."

 

:smiley-laughing002:

That actually might be the case.

 

I get that mistakes can be made, what gets me is that there is no punishment dished out. Celtic should be demanding that there is some sort of punishment dished out to the officials

 

Since Peter lawwell , the Tim mafia run our game, we are looking to balance it out by introducing a fair number of masonic officials. We feel it will help are already elite European officials..

 

My first thought. Sick of this *.

 

Dear selik

We never saw it

Yours sincerely billy fae the sfa

 

Exactly why it's takinng so long so little meetings to make it all up and keep to one story

The thing is commons already said he asked the official who said he didn't see it but then claims the ball hit his face... That's one * up right there! Even if he didn't say that he clearly repeats something 3 times that looked nothing like didn't see it!!! So if that's the case why does he need to shout anything

 

The ref was unsighted or has a stressful job of some bullshit.

Reminds of one of the recent only an excuse sketches where they get the sfa broom. It gives you the power to sweep anything under the carpet.

 

If every top flight SPFL level official were to be demoted as a result of a mistake made during a game then there would be no officials left before long.

I've seen countless incidents over the years of incredible stupidity, and believe it or not, our penalty claim at the weekend doesn't even rank all that high in my list.

Penalties given despite the foul taking place at least a foot outside the box, goals not given despite the ball being clearly over the line and so on.

The level of officials in Scotland is * poor, and to be honest, who would actually want the job?

 

England has a sort of 'league system' for their officials. If it can work there then why not here?

Not like you to be playing devils advocate in a thread Davie my man.

 

Top flight officials in England get paid between £70,000 & £85,000 per year though, don't they? I doubt our lot are on even close to that.

My point is, if you pay peanuts (in relative terms, of course) and they're subjected to accusations of bias any time they make a mistake you really have to ask if we're not getting the level of official that we deserve?

Honestly, what kind of quality official would actually want to work here?

 

I wish we wouldn't go down this letter to the SFA route, it's going to accomplish nowt.

 

And for the 10s of thousands of fans who were demanding the club make a statement.you think the club should just ignore them,this club was built for the people and should always listen and act on their behalf,now take yyour better than this crap to *

 

What does someones wage have to do with how competent they should be at their job?

If they aren't pulling their weight then you replace them. It's actually easier to do that at a lower level pay than it is a higher one.

 

We look like Greetin faced c****, that's the only thing that'll come out of this, I work in Livingston, and there's Hibs, Hearts (btw, one of the Hearts fan hates Rangers more than you could imagine), Livi, Falkirk and a Dunfermline fan saying we should get a grip and we've been getting decisions all the time as well so suck it up. They * themselves laughing when they read about this letter.

 

The officials should be sacked for incompetence
