Week 1.
Celtic vs St Mirren

I predict at least 1 St Mirren player to be sent off and some dubious refereeing to get celtic the win they require.

any views falkirk fans on just how you'll be conned next week?

If you are relegated it will be because you aren't good enough, not because of some imagined plot.

We wont get an obvious penalty, they will get a dubious goal, before Boyd comes off the bench in the 80th minute for his usual couple of goals against us

The 'wee' teams are complaining already and a ball hasn't been kicked.

Not that you's will get a touch anyway

who mentioned relegation? Last season every non-OF club had some outrageous stuff given against them.

There's plenty of other threads on relegation/finishes etc, fish over there.

how stupid are you?, of course we'll get a touch. each side have to kick off at least once.

I don't remember us having any "outrageous stuff" given against us when we played either Rangers or Celtic.

I do remember some "outrageous stuff" against Hibs and Gretna though.

.....and yet they claim that paranoia is a Celtic thing...

we've already seem the only penalty awarded to an away team at ibrox this season.

You're scrambling about desperately looking for excuses for a defeat that hasn't even taken place, looks to me like someones already worried about where their first points are coming from. Imagine feeling detached at the bottom of the table before a ball's even been kicked in anger.

I wonder more what will happen should a throw in or a corner gets given against us when it is clear it shouldn’t have been. Can we expect howls of outrage, it being debated for an hour+ on radio and backpage headlines? Or is that just reserved for when such a scandalous decision goes in our favour/?

Have the refs been announced yet?

I think the Huns will have a clearly offside goal allowed.

Hearts have a first class relationship with refs and the sfa. I forsee little in the way of trouble.

hey come on guys the poor poor celts and rangers have already paranoias about being treated unfairlya ll the time

No matter what happens you always come away feeling cheated.

Nobody mentioned relegation. Anyway we are good enough , 4 great signings, and a new stadium..... things are looking up for St Mirren

First game of the season - Rangers will win 1-0, thanks to a dubious decision about twenty minutes from the end.

If that throw in or corner lead to a goal which changed the final outcome of the match then yes it would be fully debated on every radio show in Scotland for weeks!

The world is not all against Celtic FC.

Dundee United will have a goal disallowed in the 91st minute after several minutes of intimidation by Hamilton players upon the shitebag referee.
Just a hunch.

I can't remember ever being outraged about a corner or throw in going against us when playing one of the OF.

Not like (for example) scoring at Parkhead, having the goal incorrectly disallowed and then the ref coming out and saying it should have stood. Cheers for that.

We will have at least 2 pens not giving, a good goal disallowed & rangers will score of offside equaliser 10 mins into injury time. It will be Boyd who scores it even though hes already been subbed

So can every team in the SPL sing, " Thats why were Paranoid"

Who was paranoid?

Well ask Motherwell fans about that as well as the other fans who were outraged over it,



You never had a goal disallowed.

Not like you to be pedantic.

It is hardly being pedantic. The whilstle went before the ball went into the net and naturally some players eased up.

In the same game, Samaras also was pulled up for a foul for no obvious reason, in a move which seen him unleash a shot from just outside the box past a fully stretched Aberdeen keeper.

Of course, only one questionable incident merited any attention.

Someone on another thread says Eddie Smith is the referee for Sunday's match. I can only hope this is not true.

The referee didn't come out after the match and admit he made a mistake and the goal should have stood though, did he?

No and there was little coverage of the incident. That doesn't mean it was any less of a strange decision.

Similarly, the mass furore surrounding a corner given to us at Motherwell was there for all to see. In the same game, we also had a corner given against us that clearly wasn't yet not a pipsqueak about it in the media. Go figure.

Cheating Bhigot supporting scumbag.

It's true. We will get absolutely feck all from that cheating scum. He is the tosser that gave Celtic their free kick at Love St last season that Nakamura stuck away.

Dammit. I know it was the scum that gave the free kick...thanks for confirming.

no confirmation on SFA website, but if it is Smith that is a total disgrace after the nakadiver incident. Smith his shown his pro-celtic bias in a game between the sides at love street in the past six months and to be appointed to this game shows how petty the SFA are.

and the divot gets £800 as well!

ye canny make it up!

Paranoid deluisonal diddy fans - who'd have guessed it!

When either Smith or Underhill are given a Celtic v You game, you know you will get nothing. It's very frustrating.

The result at Love St. that day along with the equally unfair win handed to smellick at falkirk handed the bhigots 4 points they should not have had.

Who said refs don't win league titles for the OF.

If your team could score goals then you wouldn't have to worry about the 'desicions'.

St Mirren Paranoid S.C

We are talking about a free kick as well. Motherwell fans, and others, were up in arms over a corner later on in the season.

It won’t be long now until the diddies are up in arms over a throw in given to Celtic displaying all the paranoid, delusional qualities that we have come to expect from them.

Clearly they have never had an undeserved free kick, corner, thrown in or whatever.

We need to learn to be like them

Cheating scumbag ref didn't let Falkirk retake their penalty, despite them clearly missing it .

Seen the replays now - contact was very minimal

The ref had a very good game today and i have never said that when we have played the OF.

It was a penalty no doubt, what i dont get about refs is that they will give a foul for f**k all outside the box but inside a player has to be half killed to get a penalty, is it not the law that a foul should be punished and all over the park?

The contact was minimal - the kind of minimal contact that has fans up in arms when Nakamura goes down 'easier than a cheap hooker'

The point im making is that if that foul was the other way round, say McBride chasing down a defender and clipped him like he was clipped it would be a foul no doubt.

There we go.. New season, same biased refereeing. Never a penalty, never a sending off, never a Celtic lead.

+3 points and -3 for st mirren so far

plus an unmerited red card that effects saints for the next game.

What foresight you have had mate!

Haining fouled and then gets a penalty given against him and gets sent off!!!!!!!!!!!

That Ba****d referee strikes again!!!!!!!!!!!
