VW clearing and covering for Efe
Efe back on
Efe back
We need a strike before the half to reflect our domination
Sammi giving them a hard time
Sammi again creating havoc on Well right this time
Ping pong in Well box as Kayal header from Sammi chip hits Hooper
Corner to Well
Mwell win corner after 30 mins 0-0
Cleared eventually
Cleared and Sammi off and running again
Sammi shot blocked
Are we trying to walk it in again?
Sami working hard and causing chaos…
No way that should have been a booking for Charlie
Yellow for CM for first foul
Ref gets a wee bonus in Lodge tonight
Mulgrew yellow???
Nothing changes if nothing changes..
Disband the SFA..
ref ridiculous… only in Scotland
Sammi seeing a lot of the ball but failing to find a decent final pass
Sammi again down left but cross too close to GK
Mwell corner as Efe blocked cross from their left
Not been one serious challenge in the game and first yellow goes to a Celtic player
Short corner blocked
Efe clears up second time of asking
Cheeky assault –
dear gawd it’s a sickening part of the game here
And excused only If you wear the The rankers jersey or play against the hoops
Sadly that tackle will not rate a mention elsewhere in UK -apart from Celtic blogs.
I expect in every other country that would be regarded as a criminal assault!
I wonder how many weeks per year we lose players to injuries sustained in ‘tackles’ ?
What to do?
Bring in an entirely new group of medium ranked refs from Europe -tell them to apply same rules as their home leagues – set up an independent refereeing management service led by Continental administrators – managers and players will soon get the message, the game would change overnight albeit with loadsa greeting and grumping from the auld guard who wreck the game now.
Existing refs get to ref lower leagues with instruction on new interpretation of rules. They get with the programme or else!
Only Promote our local refs to top league games when they demonstrate ability to follow the ‘new’ rules.
Fully loaded cost of each official is approx euro 50k – x 30 officials = 1.5 m euros. We probably pay that now for match officials (5 each from Portugal, Spain,France Germany, Holland and Belgium ..but no Italians :-) there would be a rush of young mid ranking refs from those leagues to come to Scotland on 2 year contracts, renewable as required. approx £25k netto is a decent living for young aspiring match officials, who can work back into their own leagues with a significant achievement on their CV’s to commend them.
Sadly
It will not happen – Scottish fitba fans lack the desire to force the necessary changes. We are consigned to agricultural version of fitba forever – no more World Cups or Euros – ever!
Even our non- international loving fans must realise that top players will think twice about joining our club due to risk if injury – and the crap fitba – the ones that do come quickly suss it out and that lessens their effectiveness. Izzy and Kayal have suffered to name two – someone here recently mentioned that Ghoops has been reluctant to play back to goal since he was chopped to pieces at Ipox
If we fans can see this I would love to hear what our players are saying privately about the state of the game here – and the risks they face without protection of match officials. Traditionalists may say its a man’s game, but I disagree with that view as the game has moved on – I love watching Spanish fitba and Bundesliga etc – there are aspects like diving and feigning that are alien to us although maybe not quite so much a shock after years of watching imports here.
Reform the refs or watch fitba die a slow ugly, painful death in Scotland!
What is stopping these eejits!
Seriously
I could set up a small team to organise European recruitment plan now – along those lines -and have the personnel in place by August 2013 – advertised,selected,contracts and relocations all in place set up with a structure of rules and regulations ( re badge Spain etc) ready to go it is not that difficult!
Ach
C’mon Celts – get intae they mothers ;-)
VW having a quuiet day
CM fouled and ref has no yellow
FF easy save
FF easily falls on Well shot
Kayal beaten easikly and shot goes slipping past FF LH post
Well wide of post again – coming into game
Far too much sense saltire’s never a chance with the small minded bigots
We need to buck up here. Giving them too much possession.
Sammi tormenting Well on our left
Tempo of play now greatly reduced from initial 20 mins. Still expect 3 nil
Normal service resumed via Sammi
Sammi header cleared
KC cross just over
That Sammi header was cleared off line
Awful referee as per usual.
KC bundled to ground and everyone but ref thought it was a FK
