RussellAnderson Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 It's the funny wee attempted backflop at the end that did it. Strikers have to go to ground for refs to give pens. I don't blame them at all for doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Celtic had the game handed to them on a plate by a compliant ref and couldn't even score a goal. Maybe if the refs didn't help them so much they would know how to actually finish off weaker opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenlantern Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Strikers have to go to ground for refs to give pens. I don't blame them at all for doing it. This is true. However way you look at it, it wasn't a pen. Also, the sending off was soft, but a petulant kick out is just asking for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some you get, some you don't. That's the way it is. My own opinion is if a Celtic player had been sent off for what Kipré did, and Celtic hadn't got a penalty for a shirt pull in the box in the 89th minute of a game which ended 0-0, we'd be hearing plenty about it and it would be the main topic in the media for a few days.

Busta Nut Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 You couldn't paint a red neck on these Sellick b*****ds. Sub human scum the majority of them. It's fun watch them pretend they are enjoying the fact most people are upset the got the decisions yesterday while they really should be beeling they failed to breakdown Motherwell with all the advantages they had.

I wouldn't disagree with this at all, it was daft from Kipré, but at the same time, it's just a bit galling that it is the second time this season that what has been a good, competitive game between Motherwell and Celtic has been spoiled (certainly from our perspective) by the same referee, for me, guessing at a decision, and somehow punishing the same player. I agree as well, that it would've been a very soft penalty as well, but given that he's now given two penalties against us this season for significantly less contact than Hendry had on Main, you can see why people are asking for it.

Archie McSquackle Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Strikers have to go to ground for refs to give pens. I don't blame them at all for doing it. I don't think it was a penalty but I've seen them given. It was a much better penalty claim than the one May won in the recent cup game at Kilmarnock though, which was awarded.

EpicMike Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I would say Craig Thomson is biased in favour of Celtic or really hates Motherwell but I think he's just a shite ref. Can vaguely recall him shafting Celtic in one of the cups a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kind of my issue as well. Even going back to the Dunne sending off in Perth where Cummins fell over there was a player in his line of vision between him and the incident and beyond that he can't see through Dunne as to whether there was/wasn't a trip. In the end he's guessed and his decision was overturned. The sending off in the LC final was a similar circumstance though obviously we didn't appeal that. As far as yesterday goes you can tell from the footage that he's following the ball and more than likely sees the "incident" in his periphery vision. It may well be an #honestmistake and from his POV it looked worse than it was but it's still problematic that again he's gone straight for a red card for an incident that there's a fair chance he's guessing at. Given we've lodged the appeal today then if it's overturned then 2 of 4 straight red cards shown by Thomson will have been rescinded with a 3rd falling squarely into the dubious category. That really isn't a good look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't actually remember whether it was the Linesman that gave the Carson one as well, given that from memory, he was miles away, buuuuut I'm not intending this to come over as a Celtic related gripe either, just a collection of the big decisions he's made against us this year have an element of guess-work in them, which is just a chunk of misfortune that they've all been him, and all on us, but it just feels a bit ridiculous, really.
