HairyScot 4 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Interesting info from another forum:- In Scottish Football we have a woman who works for the legal firm used by Celtic, she is called a compliance officer which means she makes decisions on games that 'she chooses' for retrospective action. Since 2017 14 Rangers players have been cited for incidents the referee didn't see, not a single Celtic player has been cited in that time. This is a good one, in 2016 Scott Brown was cited for an off the ball incident, normally the decision is made a few days after the incident but on this occasion the SFA claimed the compliance officer was 'on holiday' as it was Easter so the incident was not reviewed until after the next game which coincidentally was against Rangers, Scott Brown was banned for the following game after being allowed to play against Rangers. Now Rangers have just had a player 'fast-tracked' so a decision was made less than 48 hours so they could miss this weekends important cup game, thats not the worse of it though, Kenny Miller was also 'fast tracked' during the christmas holiday period so he could be suspended for the next match which was coincidentally against Celtic, I mean wasn't the compliance officer on holiday then or what. It's as blatant as you can get. The compliance officer was set up after Celtic's campaign against the Scottish referees which saw every referee in Scotland go on strike meaning we had refs from Luxembourg reffing our games until Celtic got what they wanted, a compliance officer, Celtic have had less yellow and red cards than any other team since this position started. Ryan Jack 36 league games for Rangers 4 red cards Ryan Jack 189 league games for Aberdeen 2 red cards Alfredo Morelos 58 league games for Rangers 3 red cards Alfredo Morelos 28 league games for Helsinki 0 red cards Scott Brown 111 league games for Hibernian 2 red cards Scott Brown 336 league games for Celtic 2 red cards 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone had the time and clips to hand, a compilation video of incidents from the same time period that could/should have led to the citing of Celtic players would be useful company for the info above. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a thread or two on twitter. There's plenty of them but nothing definitive. In fact, given the way the BBC deal with highlights there's probably twice as many that we'll never even hear about. Griffiths banging another players head on the ground and Brown flicking his boot in someones face spring to mind, on top of the one's commonly referenced. Here's what annoys me. The club must have someone looking at and collecting this info and data, surely? It'd be easy enough for them to get something together and distribute it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I think the Brown incident was looked at by the CO but was given not proven it was intentional which I must say I don't think it is 100% certain. I agree Morelos should also be not proven but as I say that is a different argument. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
