SFA

Falkirk boss Peter Houston has been reported to the SFA for an foul mouthed attack on referee John McKendrick after his side lost to Sevco.

With five minutes left to play and the teams level at 1-1 Mark Warburton’s side were awarded a soft free-kick that James Tavernier scored from.

Sevco went on to win 3-1 with former Scotland assistant manager Houston escorted off the pitch at the final whistle as he confronted McKendrick.

“He is reporting me to the association for foul language” said the Falkirk manager.  “I asked the question and he told me the Falkirk player won the ball and then he’s gone through the Rangers player. That’s not how it happened.

“The Falkirk player won the ball and the momentum of the Rangers player saw him jump into the Falkirk player, which meant it should have been a free-kick to Falkirk.

“I just feel that today the Falkirk team were let down by the officials.

“In the first minute of the game Craig Sibbald is clearly taken out (by Danny Wilson). There are no ‘first tackles’ any more. It is at least a yellow card.

“The referee didn’t recognise foul play when it should have been a yellow card in the first minute but recognised foul play when there was no foul committed.

“He reckons that our player won the ball and then went through the Rangers player. Absolute nonsense. It was a shocking decision, so for me the referee has cost us today.”

 

Houston added: “You have got to be brave when you come to these kind of places. By the way, Rangers were cracking up about some of the decisions which went against them and one or two I thought they were right to be cracking up about.

“The Rangers and backroom staff were having a right pop at the referee going up the tunnel at half-time about giving them nothing. He certainly gave them something in the second half.””

  • SeanBhoy says:

    No Surprise there Peter…..OPERATION:PROMOTE THE HUNS TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE is well under way.

    • Humbleone says:

      We need more managers like Mr Houston who don’t sit back and keep their mouth shut on these issues.

  • Jamesq67 says:

    If it’s not Dodgy penalties and opposition players sent off its dodgy free kicks,every week, it’s unbelievable. Operation promotion Sevco right enough.

    The sooner they get liquidated the better this is the only way Sevco and SFA will be stopped from cheating their Way into the SPL for the first time in their short history.

    Even if by some underhand reason they do manage to come into the big boys league they will be found wanting as SPL Clubs will not put up with this shower of cheating scumbag wannabes.

      Nah, they won’t be found out. The brotherhood will just double down on the cheating …

  • baxterboy says:

    ….yawn…

  • wulz says:

    The brotherhood will want their team promoted by any means possible, some things never change.
    However their off the field activities might mean that league reconstruction, will be their only avenue of cheating to get them in the premiership. Nothing surprises me anymore about the brotherhood.

  • Monti says:

    Andy,

  • Roundtable Masonic Refs says:

    The SFA (Sevco Fluteblawin Army) and its Roundtable Masonic officials need routed top to bottom and binned. We need to start again in Scottish Football and appoint new guardians of the game. Sevco will be promoted thru hell or high water as that is the SFA agenda this season. Just wait for the televised home draws in the Scottish Cup against lower ranked premier teams… and if they really are going bust….it’l be a tie against us to keep the Klan/Horde interested.

  • joe mccormack says:

    Well said Peter Houston.

    Our referees are a disgrace end of. McLean and Operation Stop The Treble last season, now Operation Promotion at all costs.

    McLean had a shocker today….again, almost lost control of the match.

    The Accies player pushes Izzy in the chest right in front of the ref inside the box………sure penalty but not in McLean ‘ s book of rules.

    Things will get a lot worse when son of Dallas gets involved.

    The more desperate they get, the more they cheat …
