Celtic vindicated

1145

Yesterday’s decision by the SFA’s Judicial Panel, which ruled that Josh Meekings could not be subject to retrospective action as the referee saw the contentious incident on Sunday contradicted the initial official version of events, and totally vindicated Celtic asking for clarification of the incident.

I’ve not had a chance to read through all the apologies from those who used their platforms to criticise the club, but I’ll set aside an hour to do so later.  Keep an eye on the very personal attacks on Peter Lawwell.  There are people at Hampden who don’t like his influence.

It’s never good to get ahead of yourself, and it would be foolish to assume too much ahead of our visit to Tannadice tomorrow, but I hope the Highlanders take a point against Aberdeen today.  Winning the title would be a great way to start a holiday weekend.

Loving the narrative coming out of Ibox at the moment.  It appears they haven’t even applied for membership of the ISDX yet as they haven’t found an advisor yet.  I assume that’s the fault of the Easdales.  Or the BBC.  Or Celtic.  Or maybe it’s the Pope of Rome!

What a shower.  You know how this story ends….

  1. PF, If Sevco win at Hertz then Hibs also need to win. If Sevco fail to win at Hertz then it doesn’t matter, unless Hibs lose by a cricket score.

  2. ….PFayr supports WeeOscar

     

    Hibs draw puts them on 68

     

    Huns win puts them on 69

    The bbc website has Hibs with a two point lead ..

  4. Latest SFA excuse for all the ongoing ‘monkey business’. “For time travelling Scottish refs time is irrelevant”.

    I’m trying to work out the SFA stance on this penalty avoidance last week

     

    They first say none of the officials saw it

     

    On the back of that they get the compliance officer to cite the Caley clown for cheating

     

    The Caley lawyers say the officials did see the incident and therefore the case shouldn’t have been raised

     

    The SFA now say the officials did see the incident though felt the player headed the ball

     

     

    A couple of concerns then. If the officials did see it what will their punishment be for incompetence? If a case can’t be cited because the officials did see it why did the SFA ban Derk for an incident the officials saw? Will Celtic fans ever get organized enough to do something about the ongoing cheating, see today with the hand for Sevco and last week for the stolen treble as proof.

    To be clear I’m not disputing McLean was at it. What I’m saying is let’s not spend energy trying to prove that.

     

     

    Let’s spend it on changing the culture that enables him to do what he did and get away with it.

    I hugely admire your balanced diligence on Res12 and in general.

     

     

    But on this occasion I’m respectfully on the other side of this ‘chicken and egg’ conundrum.

     

     

    IMHO for as long as they think/know they can get away with the likes of last week the culture will persist and respawn.

  8. I’ve never watched Peter and roughie before(watch stv least of all channels including), I might do again after this. They just repeated as “the line of the day” from Falkirk manager Houston:

     

     

    ” We were playing until sevco scored”

     

     

    Regarding the extra time added on. Smith does not look happy, he could have been embarrassed but you can’t tell with all the make-up.

    I assumed that they may have been able to count ….brave assumption it would seem

     

     

    As for most other things ….no

    Love your passion. I have been going mental all week and have never sworn so much in my life. He cheated us and it was quite deliberate.

    Could be as many as ten ….unfortunately it’s an unwelcome trait with my other bets too

  13. Maybe Steve McLean will be demoted next week to make sure the championship has the appropriate outcome

  14. BMCUWP

     

     

    Yup it is how it’s been for all our supporting lives and the reason is no accountability, no professionalism, no proper governance structure.

     

     

    Now get that and it will be a lot more difficult for a ref to think of not given the right decision.

     

     

    Get rid of McLean and and another clone takes his place.

     

     

    You can kill the mossies or drain the swamp.

     

     

    I’m not saying don’t try to kill the mossies.

     

     

    I’m saying better to drain the swamp.

    I have no doubt they are not finished with us yet,

     

    We need to score plenty and early in the run in to take them out of the equation,

    If I told you my secret formula you would shake yer head and never bet again :))))))))

     

    sticking a pin in paper is a complicated formula compared to my method :))))))))))))))

    Absolutely agree with you. We must be ruthless and take the mibs out of the equation.

    Meant to say without that late equaliser for Huns a draw next week would have meant huns would have had to beat mini huns by 6 goals to pip them

  20. mild mannered Pedro delgado on

    Does sevco draw make any diff to their chances if they had been beat.bearing in mind goal diff and all

    Bye bevans,

     

     

    He will be a lucky bassa for that game since we are down to 2k. I’m getting my tickets tomorrow via Hamiltontim!

    ……………………………………………………………

     

    I don’t think they’ll make it unless we see a couple of Mike McCurry performances from the mibs. I actually believe they will fall at the first hurdle and get royally horsed by QoTS.

  25. Win tomorrow and Friday and we could win the league sitting in the house next Saturday if Aberdeen drop points at DU

  26. Can we stop talking about the playoffs in the greatest league in the world at least until we’ve won our own diddy league.

     

     

    Tricky game tomorrow at Tannadice tomorrow and we all know how that ended…

  27. The twat cowan comment, i was listening to hun game on open all mics,and let’s be honest,it was only a matter of time before they equalised!!,i the correctly allotted time fanny!!. Wtf.

    We’ll not get to kiss and cuddle next Friday night mate.

  29. mild mannered Pedro delgado

     

    If they wouldn’t have got a point a draw for Hibs next week would have meant they needed to beat hearts by 6 to pip them , with that goal a draw for Hibs means huns can beat them by a point with a win,though a win for Hibeees means Huns play QOS for right to play Hibs,

     

    I’m confusing myself here :))))

  30. Without the Sevco draw, A Sevco win against Hertz and a Hibs draw would have given Hibs 2nd place.

     

    Now if Sevco beat Hertz, Hibs will also need a win.

    Tricky game tomorrow at Tannadice

     

     

    Normally would agree with that but they are in free fall and their best player is suspended.

    It’s a matter of judgement based on experience and what is known.

     

     

    Last week when no penalty was given I tweeted Scottish football a f××××××g joke.

     

     

    One of my followers commented how bad it must be for me to swear.

     

     

    So I well understand the anger and hope McLean gets sanctioned for incompetency. I just don’t see how he could be done for anything else.

     

     

    If the demand is sack him then there has to be evidence it is deliberately done to disadvantage us and even then his “brothers” would still be around.

     

     

    One mossies down. A thousand to go.
