LincolnHearts Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 After Don Robertson bottling sending off a Celtic player at the weekend, the same ref doesn't red card Harry Forrester for a shocker of a tackle tonight. Are the refs scared? are they instructed from their paymasters not to upset the big two?......or are they just pish? I'm sure fans of all teams could quote horrific incidents which their team have been on the wrong end of when playing against these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyzone Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Virgil Van Dijk nearly killed Michael Ngoo during a Celtic - Kilmarnock match a couple of years ago and escaped any sort of punishment. He didn't even get arrested afterwards, but if he'd done that in the street he'd have received at least 10 years in the jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshrinker Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Scared would be the excuse, biased is closer to the truth. The whole 'evens out at the end of the season' argument is pish as well, the old firm get the odd one or two decisions against them, which are amplified by the media to look like they're always the victim, to the rest having at least 3 dubious decisions against each cheek over a season.

Gaz FFC Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 The only thing that's "back" since Rangers appearing in the topflight. They were getting handed some nonsense decisions last season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie Bhoy Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Love it....you mention refs being biased against Celtic & Stan & the gang are demanding you provide dossiers to support your opinion. Mention bias towards the Glasgow pair &....well nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullmetaljacket Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 It's absolutely embarrassing watching the refereeing decisions that Celtic and Rangers get. Has been for years. Big crowd influences the ref. Stop thread now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Best one ever has to be Rangers getting a penalty at Ibrox because someone challenged an overhead kick. High feet perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin McCann Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 It's a mixture of bias and lack of bottle. They are that used to getting everything that when something goes against them their fans and the media make a big thing of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 But a puddle is essentially rainwater and if collected carefully could actually be good for you. Perhaps therefore some referees drink from dirty puddles and some drink from recycled rainwater samples. You may well have inadvertently hit the nail on the proverbial head there kfc.

hellbhoy Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I preferred it when the whistle blowers went on strike and brought in foreign referees, they didn't give a flying f**k about who was who in the league and weren't intimidated because the fannies didn't know who or where these refs lived to send threats or pan windaes in. I'll have to agree with the majority here, the refs shit bricks when faced with making the big decision against the twa arse cheeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I doubt there is a conscious bias towards any teams and a referee goes into a game trying their best to give the correct decisions (this does not always go to plan) but there are going to be some external factors which affect decision making. Home team, crowd size and media coverage are bound to have some minor affect on certain decisions.referees simply call it as they see it and sometimes they see it wrong. Obviously everyone feels aggrieved when a poor decision goes against their team especially when that decision can ultimately cost their team points, positions or even silverware (any notion that these decisions balance themselves out over a season is completely ludicrous). over the 38 games each team plays, teams will have gained points from poor refereeing and teams will have lost points. I wouldn't assume every season for Celtic and Ranger to have always benefited however over the course of many seasons the bigger support a team has and the more media coverage a team gets, the greater number of points they will receive from refereeing decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
