First of all, Terry Butcher accuses Stevie O'Really of helping Celtic. Now, Jonny Hayes has called the referee and both officials cheats, saying on twitter that "It's always hard playing Celtic and their 14 men." Another refereeing strike can't be far away.
Hayes was simply saying that the Celtic travelling support was so good they were like a 12th, 13th and 14th man. Hardly anything to do with refs now is it?
Johnny Hayes said he was referring to the eleven players and 3 subs. He was Making a joke. The banter on his twitter was caustic, but it was just that. Banter The Terry Butcher (who?) thing is valid though.
Shinnie two footed lunge on McCourt has barely got mentioned in the media today or by Butcher in his after match rant. Surely that was a straight red
Interesting underwhelmed reaction from the paper. Terry Butcher quote: "Maybe we will get Paul McBride to represent us. The referees' association are due here on Thursday. They better have a fleet of ambulances on standby." I wonder what the reaction would have been if Lenny had come away with that one.
I thought moaning about referees helping people was your job? has the mighty thistle taken your one excuse away fae ye?
It's rough losing a game to poor refereeing, however, I don't remember Terry having too many concerns when Celtic were denied a definite penalty in the 3-2 game last season. Infact he almost pulled a muscle jumping in the air on his way up the tunnel. Sure, we still need to score it, but that could've won us the league.
I take it he was already up the tunnel on Saturday when Shinnie tried to take Mccourts legs off, he missed that incident out in his after match rant
