Rangers need to come out with a statement this week saying we have no issue with the integrity of referees in this country and do not want to be dragged into this mess under the "Old Firm" tag. Thats all that has to be said. So far we've played it well by not reacting to this carry on and not moaning about any of the trivial decisions that have went against us this season (unlike Claruficashun FC) Neil Lennon, John Reid and Peter Liewell are a poison in Scottish Football, yet they are allowed to drum up hysteria to the point of meltdown. This is due to the weakness of the SFA and SPL. The muppets in power there have no balls whatsoever. All this mess has been caused by celtc, all the inTIMidation and harrassment has been caused by celtc and their supporters, all the conspiracy theories and questioning the integrity of officials has come from celtc and "ra sellic family" Everyone hates referees, and most supporters tend shout frustratingly at the officials when their team is losing. Its a desperate reaction which is very rarely followed up. Very rarely of course, unless you are a celtc supporter ridden with poisonous paranoia. Rangers do not need to do much here, just offer support to the SFA on how we move on from this and repeatedly distance ourselves from the "Old Firm" tag which sadly lumbers us in with these mentalists and drags us down. We are not part of the Old Firm, we are Rangers.
We've been hating the Old Firm label for ages. Anyway Dougie McDonald lies in match report = Celtic's fault Hugh Dallas continued with the lie in the media until cornered = Celtic's fault Daryl Broadfoot lies in Daily Record that Celtic fans harassing the linesman caused him to quit = Another one of Franks premature SPL rants = Celtic's fault The SFA refusing to discipline a referee who has called the game into disrupte and Celtic asking why = Celtic's fault Celtic are not the issue here.
On the subject of lies Mick. Tell me, who is your chairman again? He's told the odd lie hasnt he? Dougie McDonald made an arse of the report, but in the end it was still the correct decision - no penalty. Read Brian McGinlay's article in the ****** today, clubs tell white lies all the time. For instance, the poor people of Japan are still waiting to see their heroes play on their shores. The conspiracy and intimidation has come from celtc and their supporters, whipped up in a frenzy by a ***** manager with a bi-polar disorder. You manager isnt well, your supporters certainly arent well and celtc is the big problem here. An association with balls would have nailed them weeks ago.
Agree Franko However i have enough of this on606 yesturday.The Refs will go back this weekend and the SFA will not listen to any more complaints from Celtic.
**** the referees. Not into this conspiracy nonsense and I wish John Reid would feck off but the refs are loving being the centre of attention as, in fact, they do most weekends. If McDonald had done the decent thing we wouldn't be in this situation. They're just closing ranks to protect one of their own.
'Rangers do not need to do much here, just offer support to the SFA....' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i hope we do do this, then we might get some refereeing decisions in our favour!!!!
Walter Smith has played a blinder here, last week after doing an interview he spoke to all the press after it off the record, about Celtic going for the referees hence the reason hardly any journalist are dragging our name along with the scum
bet ye we drop points this weekend and they'll all be on sayin 'see telt ye it wiz ara refs rat wur gittin uz a ray dacishuns'
Every manager has a go at the Refs at sometime.Lennon has taken it too far and he has been allowed to get away with it by the Celtic board.They should have reeled him in a bit and told him to button it. Would Walter Smith do the same thing even if he knew it was a wrong decision ? never in a million,hes a gent.Unlike the wee Ned that is Lennon.He is letting Celtic down and their fans who seem mostly blinkered by his neddish antics,rant over
Gie it a rest. Walter Smith is no innocent as we've seen in the last couple of seasons with him rampaging round Easter Road and Rugby Park trying to pick square goes with anyone who looked at him the wrong way. Yeah, Lennon might have gone too far at times but the refs are shocking. A couple of seasons ago the Hearts Chairman and Hearts manager accused the refs of being racist towards Lithuanians, accused them of match-fixing and directly called one of the referees a "cheat" yet I don't remember them going on strike then.
ST Thats was only because some wee guy owed him a fiver in the stand and Walter was having none of it.Alright Walters no angel but Lennons a ned,there is a difference.
DC7 Hey, Walter storming around doesn't bother me. It's good to see managers with a bit of passion. I can't stand those managers who stand in the dug-out trying to look cool, even when their team has just scored. ps If Lennon's a ned does that make Walter a jakey?
We need to distance ourselves from this pish http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/3221-Desperate-dirty-inbred-bastards?highlight=mcgregor
Everyone tell has told lies in football whether it be a manager lying about reasons for dropping a player, a player lying about contact being made for a big decision or even a Chief Exec lying about a fictional tour of Japan. It seems however Dougie McDonald seems to be the one being dragged through the coals for his. His lie which was only about how he came to a correct decision This debacle has only escalated to this level purely as a smoke screen for Celtics inadequacies and why Celtic's game plan hasn't been fit for purpose for over 2 years. The Celtic fans have been suckered by their paranoid, oppressed nature while Lawell and Reid lie blame free for failing to deliver. Celtic fans you have been well and truly duped by the two masters of smoke screening I'm sorry but this mess has got to this level with under lying innuendos and smoke screening by Celtic football club. I'm ashamed to be part a football league with them in it!
Theres passion and theres passion.Lennon has it alright but hes directing it in the wrong way.Screaming in 4th officials faces is terrible behaviour for an OF manager. Walter likes the bevy,who doesnt ? <bacardibreath>
Look, everyone knows McDonald should go, Craven stitiched him up, but he shouldn't have lied, he did though and should go. The Dallas email is another matter, he shouldn't have forwarded it, but the mock offence is just a Timothy beel because they deem him to be "kirupt" I used to work with Dallas' mate, a huge Pape in that he was a mad Catholic and bigot to boot. Anyway, he told me the story of how him and Shuggie attended the refereeing course together, and his mate said that Dalls failed the exam and had to resit - though when I spoke with Dallas about this he denied it (no surprise there) Anyway, Dallas is a Motherwell fan, his mad seillik supporting mate told me this. Regardless - Celtic - in Lennon and Reid - are pandering to the vocal and sizeable minority in their support who subscribe to the conspiracy theory that has been passed down from generation to generation and fanned by Sellick Legends like McBungle, who states that Celtic have been given a hard time by refs for 50 years! Seriously, I checked it out and during the last 50 years, Rangers and Celtic have won the same amount of titles! So what is he looking for, a 100% success rate in gaining titles? Now Timothy is creaming his pants about foreign refs, like they are better than our refs. Off the top of my head, Lennon had a moan about the ref in the Braga game and Utrecht game, O'neil moaned about the ref in the Yoofa cup final and who can ever forget the post match interview after Celtic were narrowly beaten by Juve in Turin through a decidedly dodgy penalty, where O'neil continually shouted "shocking" at the interviewer?
