at least we now know about the match officials pay increases. the deal seems to have been based on not upsetting celtic this season. so they have match officials at ibrox doing their bit to help prevent rangers winning (although the gers didn't need much help in that department) then we had officials at the celtic game doing everything to make sure celtic had a good start. (not booking celtic divers again, and awarding them dodgy penalties when there was no contact again) I'm sure the SFA think it was worth the extra money not to suffer the rants from celtic park this season. it will end up like last season though, with every celtic defeat greeted with accusations and paranoia.
