You will need to give me a date for that.
Conroy only refereed 2 celtic games 3-3 with killie and 1-1 against the real rangers.

You keep a list of which Celtic games refs do?

If he does then he's not keeping it very well

Celtic won the first 6 SPFL games Conroy handled and drew 5 of the last 6

He then handled 3 consecutive draws between Celtic and Dundee United

followed by a Celtic win over St Mirren, a 1-1 Old Firm Game and draw against Kilmarnock

They've probably had slightly more draws than expected but haven't lost once in 12

Whether it's 2 or 12 games does it make any difference?

It makes a huge difference when you're trying to erroneously claim he only refereed Celtic twice in his career because he supported them. Using bullshit to back up your batshit theories won't help.

Hey! I hold my hands up if the info was wrong it doesn't change the facts.

But your post is small country small minds.

unpopular opinion - the refs generally do ok and in isolation each of those penalties at Ibrox could well have been given by many.  you could even make an argument that he's been stronger for making the decision when other penalties have been given.  why should it matter if there's one, two or three?

Making them professional doesn't work.  What are they going to do all week?   at no point can you recreate that type of decision making.  it's not the same as perfecting your technique crossing a ball.  If anything being in a usually high powered job, lawyer etc is exactly what they need from a pressure point of view.

punishing referees publicly is a sure fire way to stop people getting involved.  they're already punished enough as it is without their employers taking away their backing as well.

Dallas has made two high profile shockers.  That's the sum total.

Nice pinch of salt pal, two weeks after Kenny Clark said it was irrelevant to name the clubs they support they bring on a ex ref that supports celtic makes perfect sense.

What does that have to do with the fact you said he had only reffed two Celtic games and were pulled up on it?

 

No-one else gives two craps about the Celtic/*** referee conspiracy. All other 10 teams are consistently on the end of shite decisions.

 

EDIT: In fact, the referee that Celtic fans are all up in arms about being a potential Rangers fan was only called 'shampoo' when he gave Celtic a penalty for a handball well outside the box in a National cup final!

What do you mean? They are paid more than £1000 per game even more for European and cup ties - this is a very decent wage they only have other jobs becuase they want to do them you could easily do nothing but train all week on referees wages in the top flight.

Totally agree.  but i was meaning more the vocational  part of the word professional.  

Paid full time to work full time.  I don't see how a referee can really be working full time.  The job  doesn't work like that.
