Stevie67 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 From the mere 15 matches we played against Celtic in our last spell in the top flight, I can recall clearly: Scott McDonald scoring the winner in a 1-0 game from a header that was about three light years offside. Stephen McManus shattering Dean Holden's leg in a brutal "tackle". No card, not even a foul awarded. Stephen McManus (again!!) plain and simply punching the ball into the net. Goal awarded. Going back a bit, Crawford Baptie outjumped Pat Bonner to score from a header. Goal disallowed for, errr, outjmping Pat Bonner. And the piece de resistance, in the soul-crushing 4-5 defeat at Brockville, after Mick McCarthy got sent off for decking the aforementioned Crawford Baptie with a right hook, the referee proceeding to veer so violently towards a Celtic mindset that Forbes Johnston (RIP) got sent off for apparently being in the same postcode as a Celtic player. Peter Grant had been booked, and after committing about three further bookable offences, the ref then went over and advised their dugout that they should substitute him as he might at some point get a second!! One wee club v Celtic, just in relatively recent years, and I'm sure many other clubs have similar stories. If you can counter these arguments with similar decisions that went our way against you, please wire in, Celtic fans. Otherwise just accept you and your blue pals get the "rub of the green" far, far more often than is likely, or fair.[emoji3595][emoji3595] having a hovis moment type post and thinks butlins is still a thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get away with that many, that when they do get a bad decision going against them (usually in erse cheek derbies), they're so shocked and it sticks in their minds forever. Then they've convinced themselves it happens as much to them as anyone else. Edited November 26, 2021 by LIVIFOREVER 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any others would be interesting too. Actually I just remembered more ammunition - when we won at Parkhead in 1987, Roy Aitken (I think) pinged in a cross. It hit Jim Kerr on the body, about three yards outside the box. Decision - penalty to Celtic I'm not even sorry. That lot cry about decisions all the time and need a dose of reality on occasion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember us being denied a stonewaller when I think it was Lee Naylor was taken out by Scott Arfield in the game where we got away with the offside goal from Scott McDonald. There was another in a game at Parkhead when Fortune was also clearly fouled in the box and we didn’t get it, pretty sure that game was also a draw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, but I was just using my club as an example of the ludicrous decisions that have gone in your favour. I'm sure every team bar one would have a similar list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s your 6th left back with Bolingoli, Taylor, Montgomery, Scales and Juaranovic all having played there. You’ll surely sell 2 or 3 ?? Does that mean the Croatian moving to right back with Ralston dropping to backup ? I wouldn’t imagine a 24 year old would move from Japan to Scotland not to play most weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like this new signing can play in midfield and on a wing in attack too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those 6 only 2 consider left back their natural position and they are both pish A left back is a must in the next window Edited November 27, 2021 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Surely Alloa will want to take us on the astro turf?In terms of the ground itself, we have played at Stranraer and Arbroath in recent years so see no reason why they wouldn't play it at Alloa, who have already hosted a fair few well supported clubs in recent years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
