Who decided Hugh Dallas former Head of the Rangers tainted Scottish Referees board relinquished his position last season, when caught distributing a vulgar, crude and bigoted emails about the Head of a Minority Church in Ireland. It would seem to me when comparing the "harm" he says done by Neil Lennon to the long term damage or harm that he has done to Scottish Football there is no comparison. Dallas from the comfort of his office seemed to realise that some of his Rangers fans probably could not bear the publicity given by Scottish media to the Holy Father's Historic visit to Scotland. We got to remember Dallas in his long career as a Grade 1 referee never refused an invitation to attend a Rangers supporters club social function. Mr Dallas always regaled the H.ns with his amusing recollections of sending Celtic players off or disallowing a Celtic goal. Neil Lennon on the other -hand has been targeted by the H.ns since he arrived ten years ago. The more the h.ns abused him, of course the more the SFA and Hughie friend's punished him. Interesting that since the Rangers club have laid down on their death bed, the SFA and referees have went into over drive. The referees have cheated Celtic in every game they could and the SFA are doing their best. Interesting, although Lennon has not killed anyone, or been associated with anyone who has, has not cheated the system by fraud or other means, but they "alleged" he shouted and swore. The media says Neil can expect a 17 game ban. Hughie's friends Rangers seem to have broken almost every rule in the Governance of football but everything has to be done so that minimum punishment is given to Rangers, and that is by Order of the Government. Dallas displayed his utter bigotry and is now running te referee's show in UEFA and has had time to arrange for Celtic to be fined twice for minimal offences ( in one case no offence). Are we expected to accept him as a plausible pundit? Wonders never cease>
All that Dallas has left is his memories of all those tainted titles he helped Rangers win .Even that day at Motherwell when he helped us blow the league , Bellamy clean through on goal , brought down and a red card , Dallas ignored the foul so he wasn't in the position to send the Motherwell player off . Those soft fouls he awarded at the end to allow Motherwell punt the ball into our box , will never be forgotten either .
Mental. By the way - Dallas was only helping pass on important information as your Holy Father toured the world on his 'Sorry we harbour peados' Tour.
I can barely remember what happened in a match last week never mind every perceived ill that has ever happened ever.
Harry, do you notice Mr. T is just as bad as Dallas, like most Rangers fans they cannot stand any Roman Catholics or anything to do with Celtic. Scottish media will never refuse any anti Celtic rant. The Scottish media's pain is plain to be seen, just like the Rangers scrum who have brought back their evil pervert talk, always a sign when they are hurting.
All Rangers fans are hurting their club is on its last breath . Yet they think we lose (cheated) a couple of cup ties and everything is happy again . One day they will see the big picture , maybe when they trot out at East Stirling in front of 150 people it might sink in .
only bothered reading the first line - first mistake I believe it was one email he was pulled up about not emails as you suggest
SFA compromised by Dallas action I know we have all been keen for Uefa to take an active interest in Scottish football but you have to wonder if those in charge of the European game are aware that their foot soldiers are busy using informal media channels to influence opinion here, specifically about the Celtic manager. Hugh Dallas, one of Uefa’s most senior Referee Observers who was given the recent Barcelona- AC Milan match, one of the most prestigious games of the season, this week accused Neil Lennon is bullying referee Euan Norris. The SFA are now compromised. They may want to act against Neil Lennon for his protests at Hampden on Sunday but find themselves in the unfortunate position of not being able to give Neil a fair hearing as a Uefa official has very publically prejudged him. The SFA must protest to Uefa in the strongest possible terms about this inappropriate interference in our domestic game, as should you. I am sure we will soon hear a protest from Stewart Regan to this effect. We need to be able to operate our disciplinary procedures without processes being compromised in this way. http://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/
Was Hugh Dallas the observer at the semi final? If not there is no compromise as an independent observer was present (so long as whoever that was hasnt posted his opinion on twitter, as obviously match officials have that right nullified).
Dallas is obviously highly respected within the European refereeing circuit, and being Scottish he will understandably take an interest in Scottish football. One of the top ranking UEFA referee observers believes that a UEFA registered referee has been "bullied" by a manager is quite a strong accusation and I would imagine it will be noted by UEFA.
So are you saying UEFA employees (Dallas) are not compromised when they hire themselves out and are paid by the press to talk about Managers?
"Scott McDonald - Rangers legend " thanks but ill choose to remember his goals for us i dont care about dallas - and he was my grans neighbour by the way...
He was paid for his comments? do you have proof of this? What I was saying was that he had nothing to do with this game, he wasnt the ref, he wasnt the observer and therefore has the human right to state his opinion, as we all do. This will not impact on the SFA, a seperate entity to Hugh dallas, being able to hold an independant hearing into Neil Lennons actions. Out of interest what is your view on Neil Lennons actions post match?
"Out of interest what is your view on Neil Lennons actions post match? " naive and a bit ott - a wee bit like a certain Mr Sheils at times this season....
I am surprised noone has mentioned Kenny Shiels at the St Mirren game I think it was where he went onto the pitch at half time and just stared at the ref whilst walking backwards without saying a word so to not get himself into bother!!!
