ian1964 10,413 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The Scottish FA will meet with Scottish Premiership clubs on Thursday night in the wake of a number of recent refereeing and appeal controversies. SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell will chair a meeting in Perth which will be attended by the refereeing department and the SFA's compliance officer Clare Whyte, as well as club officials. The meeting was agreed on at the start of December but is only taking place now due to the hectic festive fixture schedule and the winter break. It has been arranged as a way of "opening lines of communication and encouraging debate" between all parties, in the wake of a number of controversies involving referees and the appeals system this season. The meeting comes a week after a gathering of referees in Edinburgh during the winter break to discuss issues that have arisen so far this season. Kilmarnock boss Steve Clarke has confirmed he won't attend the meeting. However, the managers of the four big Glasgow and Edinburgh clubs, as well as Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes, are all expected to be there. The fallout from last month's Old Firm game, which resulted in Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos escaping sanctions after being involved in three separate incidents with Celtic players, and referee John Beaton being subjected to threats, will be among the topics discussed. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11781/11609461/sfa-to-meet-scottish-premiership-clubs-over-referee-and-appeal-issues 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ra Sellik's statement demanded John Beaton and other referees should be made to explain their decisions post match. The usual on message types in main stream media rationalised it and supported such an inquisition. Last week, the elected Chair of ra Sellik supporters' association, (Mad) Joe O'Rourke presented the idea of referees being confined to a room, whilst representatives of clubs and supporters berated/inquired as to the derivation of decisions, as reasonable. It would appear elements of Scottish football as well as politics, makes for queer bedfellows? Mad Joe, Chris Sutton, John Hartson, and Tom English should be the next cast for, 'Four Men in a Boat'. Ra Sellik are proposing a Spanish Inquisition, we must know who is to be the nominated Auto da fe? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if it wasn't, given Gerrard is apparently going to be in attendance and both he and Mark Allen have said in recent days that Morelos needs protection. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 26th of foot 5,832 Posted January 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hopefully, whilst transparency is being discussed, the Rangers' representatives demand that BBC Scotland's Sportscene runs credits? It is the only show on TV that does NOT run credits. Considering, they decide what players get the treatment, I think those of paying a license fee, have the right to know the Producer, Director, Editor, ................ etc? They are making the decisions on the referral process. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
