SFA: officials and administrators out of their depth

297

Don’t mention John Beaton’s name, apparently.  Referees and VARs are not open to scrutiny.  Brendan Rodgers did not say Beaton was corrupt, he did not say Sunday’s VAR was fond of celebrating at hostelries hostile to Celtic, he simply called out what he saw was “poor officiating”.

As a consequence, Brendan faces an SFA disciplinary hearing.  The difference between calling out poor performances – which we are all capable of, including Brendan – and asking for specific referees to be barred from your games is stark.

The SFA has reacted like this because it is weak.  It has weak officials who make mistakes and it has weak administrators who are out of their depth.  This is the environment Celtic have to do business in and whether you think it corrupt of just plain “poor”, it drags us down.

    A wee flutter placed on Bad at 5/1 with Ladbrokes.

     

    Hope I haven`t jinxed it :-))

     

     

    Cheerio for now.

  2. I thought that the Kilted Krankie Klan were all…

     

     

    Anti Women

     

     

    Anti Children

     

     

    Anti God, who they removed from schools an replaced him with tranny story hour

     

     

    Anti Catholic schools

     

     

    Anti Celtic fans, who they tried to put in jail with their rushed through anti Timmy Apartheid laws that the honourable James Kelly MP blocked…or there might have been no Timmy`s left to post on blogs and dishonour ladies who post on Celtic blogs!

     

     

    PS, The Kilted Krankie Klan enthusiastically supported the Apartheid laws in the 6 counties against Catholics back in the day.

     

     

    And when auld Lizzie popped her clogs…guess who were on the first flight to London to ensure that Scotland was signed up to perpetual Protestant Supremacy?

     

     

    Wee Kilted Krankie Klown and big fat odious Kilted Klown Alex Salmond…signing up Timmy to a lifetime of covert Protestant Supremacy….whilst Timmy`s were on thur knees worshipping the Kilted Krankie Klown…as she was murdering all of Scotland`s old folk in care homes with poisons used on prisoners in death row USA etc..and telling you it was c19 that killed them…gaslighting you all to go and get the vaxx.

     

     

    If that is not evil then you truly are empty heads. 👀️

     

     

    PPS, You only get the hell refered to as – long covid – if you have taken the vaxx.

     

     

    Just ask the Doctor`s who were banned for trying to help people.

     

    i

     

    The basturds are still lying to you…hoping that they can gaslight you into being next to the mortuary…then STV/BBC will tell every one that you died of c19 or long c19…so you should go and get the vaxx and the bent journo gets a bonus for successfully gaslighting you onto the statistics list.

     

     

    I`m not an evil bigot…they are!

     

     

    Get with the scrip Timmy…

     

     

    The Establishment has had their balls cut off since last Thursday night in Rochdale…because George Galloway’s Irish-6 Counties legal team sent ALL of the politicians and ALL of the media written and broadcast… Legal notice that if they dare to falsely smear GG or his WPGB with their fake antisemitic tropes…then they will be banned from standing for political positions…and broadcast media will be taken off air until the investigations have concluded to the satisfaction of GG’s snarling, no nonsense, kick ass, legal.

     

     

    Even arch enemies red Tory Labour supporting websites call it “A master stroke by Galloway…where would we be had Corbyn done the same?”

     

     

    There is now only one show in town…led by a masterful tactician…who will not be lied about…so the Establishment and Legacy media are as good as dead…because all that they have…is lies.

     

     

    The Establishment lie…and people die.

     

    Oot.

    The Trainer B. PAULING had FOUR Runners 12 days ago on Saturday 24th FEB.

     

    I backed ALL FOUR horses in a Lucky 15 Bet.

     

     

    I had THREE Great Winners….at ODDS of 14/1, 7/1 and 6/1.

     

    The Horse ” BAD” looked all over the Winner going over the last fence. It got beat on the Line by a ” HEAD”.

     

    I had backed it along with the others….I think ” BAD” was around 6/1 or 7/1 ( EARLY ODDS).

     

     

    I reckon that ” HEAD” defeat cost me around £1,000 for that Lucky 15 Bet that day>

     

    I was NOT amused.

     

    LOL

  6. An Tearmann –

     

     

    You remind me of the NED that used to sit next to me and state that I wasn’t.a Celtic Supporter because I wouldn’t sing …from the rebel song book..

    I think you are right out of order wishing someone broke down during a moment of his personal problems and give you cheap points scoring limelight.

     

    Sorry but I believe you are the one with a problem.

     

    Maybe your name is on clunks list.

    I would suggest they would not be overly concerned if the huns had an equal share of title wins.

    Have a great time…. tea is for me. Enjoy your stay and hope Benfica do the huns tonight. Heading for 6.15 mass at Clonard Monastery.

    Big Jimmy

     

     

    if you had those 4 horses on a Lucky 15, for a 1 quid unit stake (so a 15 quid bet), then if Bad was around 6-1 early price then it losing cost you a LOT more than £1,000.

     

     

    if you were sensible and didnt do a quid unit stake then it will be less obviously

     

     

    still a good return for those prices

  11. Kev unionist,you do not know what you are.

    GG’s victory has thrown the GG Cat amongst the sell out pidgins lol

     

     

    Corbyn and Lynch have gone into hiding…why would that be?

     

     

    You were born under a Union Jack and you will die under one, even if you were born in Ireland, the Royal Zio financial system has you by the goolies.

  15. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Frimpong missed a great chance to win the first leg.

     

     

    2-2 at full time.

    anyone selling a bridge?

     

     

    just finished building a moat round my castle but im stuck on the wrong side of it and cant get back in for my tea 🌁🏰

  17. The handball rule is a major issue – however when the rule is actually very clear , I feel certain referees are looking/searching for a way to hurt us. The Iwata handball – close proximity, ball not moving toward goal, played off a teammate while being nudged – the rules clearly state this is not a pen.

     

    ==========================

     

    I had a look at the rules on handball which are complex and the best interpretation I could put in support of your opinion was that Iwata’s arm was in a natural position as a result of the nudge from Johnstone as I could find no specific reference the effect of being nudged by another player in same team or opposition..

     

     

    If you found that specific reference to a nudge (or similar term) Beaton is toast but even if the one I discerned from the rules is used, Beaton is still toast but perhaps not burnt unless a referee of his experience is expected to use his noose but failed to on the occasion.

     

     

    Both opinions reinforces my view that if Beaton and the ref got the second penalty wrong then BR’s use of the word incompetence to sum up his interview is totally justified. It is there to be seen. I doubt the charge of poor officiating against BR will stand up but I hope it is not dropped and Celtic go to town on Beaton and Robertson for both misapplying the rules.

    That mob use the words in the rules and ignore the spirit of intent, perhaps this time that actual words used will bite them in the rear end.

  19. lets all do the huddle on

    ive said it many times

     

     

    the current offside and handball interpretations look utterly ridiculous now var is involved in the game

     

     

    they need to change

     

     

    i dont think there is 1 proper football person ( which excludes lanarkshire hun refs) thinks that what happened on sunday should have been a penalty

     

     

    and the same apllies to shanklands goal, football folk would call that level. like Salahs goal for liverpool that got chopped off earlier

     

     

    it makes the game look stupid

  20. lets all do the huddle on

    but thats a separate issue from the obvious major problem with some scottish refs and var officials interpretation of any of the rules!

  21. Tom Lawrence puts the Huns 1-0 up after 7 mins.

     

    A very good counter attacking goal .

     

     

    Benfica have it all to do .

     

     

    TT

  22. hun verbal filth polluting the Lisbon air. I wonder if uefa will turn a blind eye test again. Benfica all at sea for the huns goal. I hope the thrashing they got against Porto doesn’t affect them

  23. glendalystonsils on

    The commentator in the huns game says he can hear ‘the unease of the home fans’ . I wonder if he could hear the Billy Boys being belted out by the away fans just before that ? Funny he didn’t mention it .

  24. Weebobbycollins on

    Don’t know if Andrena is a hun troll or not but he’s definitely not a wummin. Wummin express themselves differently…unless of course…

  25. Weebobbycollins on

    Tempted to say Benfica are shite but how many times have we said that of the huns’ European opponents?

  26. Glendalytonsil.

     

    He didn’t hear it because he was humming along with them. He is a DOB

  27. Huns have done very well in this competition over last few seasons against seemingly far superior teams…they know how to play in this competition….they set up and defend much better than us…we can deride them all we like….but it’s true…

  28. Benfica look like they don’t have a decent striker .

     

    The Darnel looking dangerous on the counter .

     

     

    Benfica must get the next goal .

     

     

    The home crowd are getting restless.

     

     

    TT

  29. Tictastic 8.35

     

     

    They also seems to sign good keepers .

     

     

    Very true .

     

    I’m glad Liverpool are still in the tournament.

     

     

    TT

  30. silva tackle with studs up is not different from the red maeda got – Benfica should also have had a pen imo. German ref for huns game – well played bigot Dallas.

     

     

    Why do we never get the refs in europe like they do? think I know why

  31. They have been close and Butland got a break from a blocked shot we don’t get in Europe and it fell into his hands.
