And the possible cover-up for whatever they were saying to the assistant. It won't be the end though until the next Celtic draw or defeat in the SPL since it'll be the ref's fault.
Anyway, dropped points for Rangers today against Caley Thistle so Celtic fans will be happy especially with St Johnstone being so poor. Aberdeen must be annoyed at losing in injury time to St. Mirren though. Good win for Hamilton too.
To be fair Fraser, this incident happened in a game Celtic won.
anyone else getting fed up with the tinfoil hat brigade over at parkhead?

Tinfioil hats not required. Just because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
Do you remember when Rangers where going for ten-in-a-row and where playing Killie at Ibrox? Only two games remained to see who would win the league, Celtic or Rangers. Bobby Tait, a known Rangers supporter, asked to officiate at the game as it was to be his last before he retired. Rangers needed a win and with the score 0-0 at full-time the referee was happy to allow quite a bit of injury time in an effort to give Rangers time to score the winner. Kilmarnock upset the party by scoring in the 8th minute of added time and if I remember correctly, the whistle wasn't blown until 15 minutes had passed. I rest my case.

omg, an example from 10 years to show the depth of the paranoia you suffer from.
It really is hilarious.
So, in your opinion, a glaring example from ten years ago isn't relevent? It just goes to show how blinkered our friends in the south of Glasgow are. Yes, it is hilarious to see how that example backfired isn't it?
Oh, and two posts in two minutes again. Post uppage. Deny, deflect, deny again.

A glaring example from 10 years ago merely confirms my theory that you aren`t very well.
Im most certainly not blinkered and never deny or deflect. I`m curious as to what you think i`m denying or deflecting?.
If you were to be beleived, the entire world is out to get you and you have never been fairly beaten. Every one is conspiring against you?.
Do you really think these are consistent with sanity?
Once again, i find post counts are irrelevent. Admin can reset them any time they like. Put them back to zero if it makes you happy. It`s worrying that they are so important to you. Are you 12 or something?
Please re-read post #277.

the celtic board use the conspiracy line time and time again to divert criticism from them onto others and guess what you gulls fall for it hook line and sinker every time, thing is some one may get hurt over the head of this and this time i hope the celtic board are taken to task for their conduct if (god forbid) this should be the the case.So, in your opinion, a glaring example from ten years ago isn't relevent?

How does it work in Europe?
For example against Braga, Neuchantel Xamax, FC Porto, FC Utrecht etc?
I can only assume Scottish based referees are off the hook here or does the conspiracy spread to other Football Associations?

Did I mention anywhere outside of Scotland? Although, we have been on the end of some very dubious decisions in Europe against the likes of Arsenal, AC Milan and Juventus but I'll put that down to players conning the ref and not the ref conning the players as is what has happened here in recent weeks.
I give a glaring example of the dubiety of Scottish referees and you dismiss it because it happened ten years ago. I could also point out Mike McCurry's dodgy diisplay in the game Rangers had against Dundee United two years ago. Legitimate goal and a stone wall penalty denied to allow Rangers to gather up all three points. Last season, 9 out of 12 managers complained about referees in games involving their team playing Rangers. Take off those blue tinted specs please.
Adversity only makes the victory taste sweeter.

Well if anything the furore over the decision proves that we need full time professional referees in the Scottish leagues and have them fully accountable to a league management committee when things like this happen if they aren't already. Trial by media is not the way to run a league.
When the Celtic fans threw the toys out a couple of seasons ago with threats of boycotts it makes it look like sour grapes whenever the club complains about decisions rather than incompetence in those running our game, so whenever things like this happen many fans automatically think it's a similar thing. Doubt much will change though when the league comes up for restructuring since it'll be the same people running it.

the league and the people who run scottish football have many faults but the pressure that the celtic board put refs under is unacceptable, the paranoia comes from one place and one place only.how many times over the last few seasons have celtic played the victims following a defeat by rangers or the realisation that the league is running away from them ?

In the last few seasons, how many times have Celtic suffered from 'honest mistakes' in games against Rangers? If there was nothing to complain about then Celtic wouldn't question the refs decisions. Corruption is endemic when you considere how far back it goes.
Do I really need to post a picture of Tiny Wharton giving a masonic handshake to John Greig as he was about to officiate at a Rangers game? Knowing that something is seriously wrong at the SFA does not mean you are paranoid.

The accusation of 'paranoia' seems to be the stock reply when Celtic fans question refereeing mistakes which have gone against them. As a Celtic fan myself all I would like to see is greater transparency from the referees. Publish the match reports after the games, let eeveryone see the thinking behind the big decisions - that will go a long way to allaying the concerns many Celtic fans have that the referees give the benefit of doubt to Scotland's biggest team, Rangers.
Referees are only human, and they will make mistakes. The concern that many Celtic fans have is that most of these mistakes seem to favour one team, Rangers.
Create a transparent process and put an end to the claims of conspiracies. This latest incident does not show referees and the SFA in a good light. We have a referee (Dougie McDonald) lying, and the head of the referees (Hugh Dallas) after being told it's a lie, repeating the lie to defend the officials. We have an investigation into the incident by the SFA, who refer it to colleagues of the referee (referees committee) to decide on his fate. They decide that although he has fabricated a match report and lied to a manager, he should not be punished and should continue as a Grade 1 official.
It is a sham what's happened and it does nothing but cast doubt on the integrity of Scottish referees and the SFA. The association needs gutted from top to bottom, remove the self-serving blazers and create an accountable organisation, and a transparent refereeing process.
