Ref did his level best to get Partick a point. Seemed to ignore most Jags fouls, two appalling offside calls when Celtic players were clean through and to top it all off, a penalty for nothing. The Jags have not had a pen in 2 years and they just happen to get one against us.
Don't need to see the game to know that the ref didn't give a penalty to Partick just because they happened to be playing Celtic. Only a mental tim wid think that.
He gave a penalty for an offence that did not exist. The partick player who was apparently pulled back, continued to play and when his cross was mishit the Ref decided to award it. Softest pen of the season.
It may well have been a soft penalty decision but it wasn't given because it was against Celtic and the ref was biased against your team. Soft penalties are given every weekend, even Celtic have been given some I'm sure.
Cards aside, some of the decisions against us lately have been absolutely perplexing. From now till the end of the season, if a Celtic player goes anywhere near an opposition player in the box, you can bet your life the ref will be falling over himself to give a pen/card. Paranoid? we weren't paranoid enough!
I watched the whole 90 minutes and what I saw I am mentioning here because we won. If we complain when we lose we are criticised so what better time to complain than after a win. The Ref's overall performance was abysmal, the Pen was the icing on the cake as I said in the OP. "Seemed to ignore most Jags fouls, two appalling offside calls when Celtic players were clean through"
I don't have a problem with that. It's the.... The Jags haven't had a penalty blah blah blah bit that perturbed me. You obviously think there's a conspiracy against Celtic.
I think it has been well established that the SFA have conspired against us previously. There behaviour in not answering Celtic shareholder questions suggests they are also currently engaged in conspiring against us, I think it is reasonable for us think that way.
Dougie Dougie gate was a conspiracy that even included Hugh Dallas in the cover up. The problem is that being a referee is a scummy profession that only those in secret societies aspire to. Only incompetent taigs get tokened in
