hellbhoy Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Having video replay at important decisions might eliminate most bad calls from the refs, there would be next to no complaints and the ref wouldn't need to drop a clanger in their shorts facing the tough call. Just show the incident in question on the big screen as the replay judge reviews it so everybody knows if it is going to be the right decision or not. This would also address the latest disease in the game, "diving" a bit of an epidemic at the mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was lucky to still be on the park and why the BBC didn't show it, it was embarrassing as f**k man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Nederlander Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Most people would agree that the bigger clubs in every single country in the World get the decisions. Scotland is very different though cause our biggest clubs bleat and whine like absolute fucking bellends at fantasy injustices that simply don't fucking exist.

IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 That is not the case in Nauru, Tuvalu or the Marshall Islands and they have paths and the occasional puddle. This is good knowledge to maintain in case it ever comes up in Pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I don't think it's a deliberate bias, but I think a lot of referees can't cope with the big crowds and potential for big media coverage. Let's say Robertson sent off the Celtic player on Saturday, but video replays proved he got it wrong and Celtic went on to lose the game 3-1. That would be back page news. If he just ignores it then it's only Inverness who are robbed of a decision, and they aren't exactly going to have the sort of media power that Celtic/Rangers have. "INVERNESS LOSE TO CELTIC" - not really news "REFEREEING MISTAKE LEADS TO INVERNESS RECORDING SHOCK WIN OVER CELTIC" - very news. Same last night, sends off Forrester, Rangers go on to lose, massive pressure from the papers on Warburton, plenty of anger from 30,000 people or whatever at Ibrox. His face plastered everywhere. So aye, lots of refs are lacking the balls to give a decision against the Old Firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 There is no conspiracy against any team. Our refs are incompetent, that's the first key point.Secondly as has been mentioned the media coverage of bad decisions against the OF probably doesn't seem worth the risk to a ref getting it wrong.I don't believe it would be a conscious decision that they'd bottle it sub consciously it probably plays a part.

RandomGuy. Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Didn't even get booked, Frazer Wright got a 3 match ban in a match against Celtic after grainy footage which apparently showed him throwing an elbow turned up. Van Djik throws an elbow to stop May, who's clean through on goal. Not even a free kick. Battering Celtic at home and look like you might win? Better not score from a free kick despite being miles onside, as it'll be ruled out. Thats ignoring the time Sandaza was wiped out at Celtic Park and the ref played on. I'd be pretty shocked if we don't see a similar incident when we play our first league against Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know full well any decision they make against the bigot brothers will be scrutinised to the nth degree in the press and the managers will have their say as well, they'll then be under immense pressure the next time they officiate a game involving one of the filth. For an easier life they'll just let it slide. Sad but true. I had an ex-ref tell me they were reluctant to give decisions against the old firm particularly when they were at home.

Salvo Montalbano Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Now most leagues have professional referees, it should be fairly straightforward having impartial foreign refs at all top flight games. There is no real barrier to it - Hugh Dallas et al doing the Cairo derbies, the Luxembourgish refs doing SPL games during the strike, there was an Irish ref doing the MLS game I was watching the other night - other than perhaps the cost and the big one. Big teams in every league would be less likely to get big decisions regularly. They still would (I'm sure a Bobby Madden wouldn't want to deny Barcelona a penalty at Deportivo or whatever) but it would surely be a but better than it is now.

That sort of thing is unlikely to be brought in as it harms the two sides who benefit the most from shocking refereeing.

Funny you mention that. Walker was subsequently suspended for 2 games after that. John Guidetti on the other hand escaped any sort of punishment for his effort at Tynecastle.

jim999 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Twice in 3 days clear, stick on red cards were not given by a ref in a perfect position. I don't think they're always deliberate cheats but refs fill their underpants at the thought of sending off a Celtic or Rangers player.Possibly sometimes subconsciously but it happens far too often. They know it'll be a shitstorm for them. It's been said for years that referees should come out and explain decisions afterwards. Wonder why they're against it???

The Saintee Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Dive cheat Leigh Griffiths should have been sent off in our recent game. Ref shat it as he would have had to disallow a goal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how it is, it's not intentional bias, it's fear of the ridiculous level of scrutiny any decision made against one of THEM receives. Compare this to the "all balances out" shite we get and it's no mystery why thugs like Brown and this wee shite Forrester waltz through games with immunity. It would be so helpful if refs had the opportunity to either explain decisions or even apologise for ones they got wrong (we're all human, I think most fans accept mistakes are made) but we have sellik to thank for them having zero interest in doing that, good job.

TheScarf Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 That Don Robertson must be under some scrutiny from the referee bigwigs now surely? That's 2 ludicrous decisions in 3 days. First Sviatchenko, then Forrester last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
