And why would you know - you're not a paranoid rambling mess who believes in the establishment -This means you're not a real Celtic fan! How dare you have a level head ... being open to sensible debate and discussion. How dare you converse with them! Timposter, Uncle Tim, Hun lover!
Dammit, outed eventually. I've been on here 5 years doing my Timposter routine but the jig's up, ah well, all good things must end, back to the Champions board for me. GSTQ IAWT NO SURRENDER

Now Pud if you can tell me who in your opinion is more anti -Celtic than Collum I am prepare to consider carefully your suggestion, check what-ever information that is available to back your argument and perhaps change my mind about Collum. If you can't do that I would prefer if you did not waste my time trying to score points over me with no available evidence.
So, you can form an opion based on your eyes and common sense (i.e you can simply state your opinion) but I must provide information/evidence. Ok, I see how this works! I don't believe in conspiracies ... though, I do believe in incompetence. I believe many of our refs are incompetent and need to be given full time refereeing positions with full training on a weekly basis (like players) and be continually assessed. they should alos be held accountable and allowed to (or made) speak to the media (like managers) after a game to explain decisions.
I believe that some refs are biased, some are certainly incompetent, but that's as far as i'd go except in the case of Mike McCurry, he was a cheating bastard.
Mike "Simply the Best" McCurry. I know all the stories about after dinner speakers giving it the aul " I never gave them tarriers nu'hin" but in all honesty, you can't put much stock in that. They'd be pretty crap speakers if they said "I was honest.....but ****e and coincidentally never gave them tarriers nu'hin".
Yeah - that stuff about 'gave the tarriers nuhin' is a load of ****e. He always called you 'taigy ****s'
Remember him booking 9 Celtic players in an OF match. He then tried to make amends by booking a couple of Gers players to even things up and make it look less suspicious. He was fooling no one.
Is that the game where we committed 11 fouls and two of them were offside? I thought he was uncharacteristically fair that day
What is the problem with Collum then do you reckon? ****e or trying too hard not to look biased in our favour? I go and watch Derry City quite a bit, just because it is local. They are convinced that officials are against them and I have to agree. They put it down to a Dublin bias as that is all they can point to. At the final home game of the season before last, Derry were playing Finn Harps in a local derby (Finn Harps are from Donegal) and competing against Monaghan to win the title. The ref came from Monaghan and the 2 linesmen came from Donegal. It isn't about being clean, it is about being seen to be clean. The refs are also useless and that doesn't help but some of the decisions are baffling.
I just think Collum is as bad as the rest, Brines is by far the most incompetent Ref in Scotland though, absolutely clueless and an overbearing Schoolteacherly manner.
I was gonna say that he did call us tarriers till he got the memo from Dallas.....but then that would be a conspiracy
I read that Aluko interview. "I didnae dive" Aluko "They're calling my player a liar and a cheat" McCoist And now Aluko's basically admitting it - still, it's just the same as being offside <arsehole>
Mccurry was found out cheating at Dundee utd / rangers game that was the same season as that old firm game he booked 9 of us , as you say he booked a couple of them in last 10 mins he also denied them a Possible pen and disallowed them an onside goal . No I have not gone soft in old age the first 80 mins was the worst refereeing ever seen and he was covering up his bias once he got them 3 up . 9 players booked our trainer wasn't on the park , Cousin accidentally did McManus !! 30 seconds later he got a ticking off for doing the same to 0'dea mind you mccoist gave the thumps up for the challenge , also in 1st min mcgregor trod on skippy toes twice , skippy got booked , Hutton committed his two footed lunge not a word on Mcgeady , our last booking weir actually pleaded with the ref it wasn't a booking
The problem with Scottish referees goes back a long time. At any time in the past if a young referee wanted to make it to the top in Scottish Football he knew he would either have to show a bias against Celtic or towards Rangers. Having got to the top in Scotland if he wanted to maintain that position he had to continue doing as he had done. This is going on for a long time, I remember over 40 years ago big John Hughes was booked and in the second half he took the druggie Willie Johnstone out. The Rangers crowd roared for him to be sent off, but the referee was advised by his linesman that Johnstone had teased and tempted big Hughes. The referee let him on the pitch and the Rangers club ensured the referee who was at that time arguable Scotland's top referee (a FIFA ref) never refereed atop match after that and was relegated to junior the next season. The History of the Scottish Football does not show Celtic able to demote a referee. Pud I know this concept is difficult to understand. I made the assertion and you question me, therefore you must provide the information as to why you reject my assertion.
