Peter Decisions

[26th of foot 5,829]

As Rangers supporters we have been subject to a few Peter Decisions this season already. The lines are drawn depending upon the colour of the jersey here in Scotland. It is the path of least resistance to deliberately err on the side of ra Sellik. During Brendan's first spell at ra Stade de Gadd, Referee Don Robertson awarded Ross County a last minute penalty to secure a 1-1 draw, Brendan used the post match interview, "the Ref' will not have a future in the game if he continues to make similar decisions". The last old firm match saw the fruition of Don.

 

Sellik have worked hard at it for decades. Sir Robert Kelly's history of Sellik published in the early fifties has an opening chapter entitled, 'the first disallowed goal'. Sir Bob relates a tale of injustice from a home game against Hearts in 1908. Private Detctives have been hired by the club to follow officials and, when this fail fails, they can rely on an ardent fan, Kevin Dunn from the green leather heated comfy seats to throw a bottle at the Dllas family home. However, Kevin was not finished, he was so upset at his beloved green'n'grey hooped heroes losing the game 0-3 and league to Rangers, he grabbed a golf club and proceeded to smash 13 of the 14 double glazed windows of the house with entire Dallas family inside.

 

We experienced a Referee strike a dozen years past because of increasing levels of Sellik encouraged intimidation. The above Kevin Dunn was convicted in court, was fined £2,000 and ordered to pay cost of damages amounting to £4,000. Kevin owned a double glazing company and after his court appearance he was applauded and cheered back to his North Stand seat. Cheerleading is not restricted to the stands, both the broadcast and print media can be relied upon to emphasise or ameliorate.

 

Last evening in Rotterdam, Sellik lost 2-0 and finished the game with nine men after two red cards. Peter has now taken over an important job in UEFA and the work to rid the organisation of officials with Masonic tendencies will have already begun.Ra Sellik Skipper, Calum McGregor was at his enlightening best in the post match interview, "in UEFA competitions the leniency isn't very high". Calum knows the foul to cards ratio in Scotland is hugely in his club's favour, he is exasperated that continental officials are not yet on message.

 

Michael Stewart is a former employee of Sellik TV and he knows what he has to do to ensure the continuance of his associate membership of PQ CSC, "what is VAR for"? The Rangers hater went further, "what is the point in VAR if it does not recognise wrong decisions"? Michael was adamant the penalty decision was wrong and Lagerbielke should have remained on the pitch. He is alone in this opinion for the moment. Michael is confused because when Lagerbielke dallied on the ball and was robbed for Roofe to score, it was disallowed as he glibly stated, "it is in the rules". Michael prefers Peter's rules to UEFA rules.

 

In 37 Champions League games Sellik have managed one clean sheet, conceding 89 goals. However, what we must remember as they carry the Scottish standard in Europe, they hit the post against Real Madrid. We are five years away from that incident constituting a goal furra Sellik under the ensuing UEFA directive, 'Peter Decision'.

Michael Stewart and Calum McGregor's comments are a bit contradictory.  I guess McGregor was just a bit too honest, after an energy sapping 90 minutes, whereas Stewart is so pre-programmed he's unable to deviate from the set agenda.

Perhaps rasellik in Europe merely illustrates the Peter Principle in practice: Scottish fitba' enters its 'champion team', which has reached the top of its league structure, its pinnacle, into European CL competition, which is where that team has reached the level where it can no longer perform with any degree of competence. 

The outcome: rasellik challenge just Peters out.....

 

Pleasing, that.

Corruption, cheating and criminality is in their DNA. Not necessarily in that order though.

I don't think they care about Europe and instead only focus on domestic success.

I'm sure I read a stat last night that rasellick have only won 1 CL group match out of the last 28. I can only imagine the media coverage if that was our stat.

This. They know how important qualifying is, other than that I don't think they care much. It's an organisation focused on making money, and they're good at that to be fair.

After our last champions league campaign were the last lot to sneer at others let’s get our own lot fixed before having a go at the beasts

It came off the back of a major Europeans cup final and a few post xmas euro runs.

 

In isolation our CL run was a disaster but we got there on merit of beating USG and PSV and we have a great track record otherwise.

 

Celtic have done nothing but get skelped from pillar to post in Europe for nearly 15 years. Anyone noticed any criticism from the usual suspects in the red tops and TV?

 

That should tell you everything you need to know.
