Davy 0 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 ...load of codswallop As a Celtic fan im sick of hearing about them,from ourselves and latterly from Rangers fans.Some you win ...some you dont :yawn: .When in company out socialising and a fellow Tim starts that pish ,it bores me to tears and i find it quite embarressing TBH:sleep: .Ive always said that i dont believe in conspiricy theories towards Celtic and similarly they dont exist towards Rangers.What we have are just very bad referees and equally bad people who ..ahem "run " the game.Whilst im glad we won the league,im glad that it took right up until the last game to win it .I just wish Hibs ,Hearts ,Abaaden and Dundee Utd could last the pace a bit longer,and make it a 3 or 4 horse race for a changeI agree with you 100%....Our refs are just not good enough 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I think we're a bit harsh on refs, as it's an incredibly difficult job. The only reason to me that they seem worse these days as we get clear, slow motion replays from about five different angles in EVERY game. Before we used to have about two cameras at one or two games. When the ref explained the unfortunate decisions against Dundee Utd, it made perfect sense, especially if you watch the replays with an open mind. My Sunday League team get loads of decisions against us but forget about it quickly as we can't be 100% sure we were right and haven't got a single replay to watch. I think that if we want to improve refereeing, it is to go down the rugby route and use TV replays. That way the controversy will be vastly reduced - or at least be more difficult to say who was right or wrong as it will become purely subjective about the interpretation of the camera footage. If anyone here can do better than our top refs, then get your qualifications and go and do it. And I can't imagine anyone here enjoying a tv camera watching your every move at work and thousands of people slagging off your every bad decision. I'm sure loads of people will think your pish at your job too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you Cal but with that wee French poof Platini in charge there is no way video will play a part in football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I used to be on the refs side but in scotland they have become a farce. Yes its a difficult job and if they get certain decisions wrong then fair enough, but they now blow there whistle at every little thing which is annoying 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
