chilledbear 16 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Conroy has resigned as a ref. Another 'victory' for the scum. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_2010 0 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 why has he resigned? did he do something in particular that put him under the microscope? I tend to put the majority of mistakes down to incompetence rather than institutional bias, other than perhaps the refs who try to prove a point by not being afraid to give decisions against us so go looking for crimes that aren't there... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilledbear 16 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 I think this sums it up. 'Steve Conroy quits refereeing after not being given a top flight match since he awarded Aluko a penalty' 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I think this sums it up. 'Steve Conroy quits refereeing after not being given a top flight match since he awarded Aluko a penalty' Was that the penalty which led to Aluko being given the retrospective ban and labelled a cheat despite their being no evidence that he cheated? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Read somewhere that the Refs are at breaking point again and all our nonsense has kept the story out the papers, are fed Up with the way they are being treated from within Hampden and especially with Lunny & Co. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Was that the penalty which led to Aluko being given the retrospective ban and labelled a cheat despite their being no evidence that he cheated? He cheated. Sorry, but he dived 100%. Still think Conroy's being castigated, and I don't blame him for resigning from the farce that is the SFA. But Aluko went down. If it had been a tim player we'd all be calling said player a total cheat (and being appalled at the SFA letting him away with it, but that's another matter). So let's not lie to ourselves - there was literally no contact and he dived. Not quite as bad as Drogba's cheating last night, but simulation is a vile component of football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 He cheated. Sorry, but he dived 100%. In your opinion. To me it wasn't much different from that Irish rugby player who went down after a tug against Scotland. Almost had a penalty try but there was too much cover. However the Scots player was yellow carded and sin-binned and a penalty awarded. And THIS was rugby. But Aluko went down. If it had been a tim player we'd all be calling said player a total cheat (and being appalled at the SFA letting him away with it, but that's another matter). Speak for yourself and not for others. We don't all see things as black and white as you. So let's not lie to ourselves - there was literally no contact and he dived. 100% wrong. There was literally contact. The photos clearly show this. Whether it was enough to send him over is something no-one will ever know for sure. Oh, except some people just KNOW these things. :fish: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was contact, and I'm not convinced he dived. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Referees make mistakes all the time all over the world, I find it very strange that Conroy who most of us would admit got his decision WRONG found himself 'demoted' because of it, if the SFA were honest with themselves they would say it was because he 'cheated'. I'd go along with Danny's comment "if it had been a tim player we'd ALL be calling said player a total cheat" it happens all the time when a rival club's player dives the opposition fans chant "Cheat, Cheat, Cheat" Can't understand the logic of some on here having a dig at a perfectly sound comment. :fish: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
