Even Sky Sports couldn’t avoid calling out Do Robertson over his failure to send off James Sands on Saturday.

The broadcaster which employs Kris Boyd and deliberately misrepresented quotes from Alfredo Morelos claiming racist abuse from Celtic fans are well known for their leanings towards Everything, Anything Ibrox related.

The rugby tackle from Sands on Jordy Hiwula was a step too far, so far not a single pundit or former referee has come out to justify Robertson’s decision to raise his hands and shake his head.

Well the referee didn’t think it was a foul but I think if he gives a foul it’s a straight red card, at worst it would be a second yellow. But the referee plays on, so the referee doesn’t think it’s a foul. I actually do. I think it’s a foul and I think it’s a red card.

Sands was booked for a similar incident five minutes earlier, on that occasion he had Connor Goldson as cover.

Realising the impact of going down to 10 men and having Sands suspended for Saturday’s match against Celtic Robertson opted to play on and ensure future top flight appointments.

There is virtually no prospect of the SFA Compliance Officer reviewing the incident and offering a two match suspension.

    That’s because the game is RIGGED up here and our club is full of SHITEBAGS when it comes to challenging the authorities.

    Is that the Scottish Referees Association – & the SFA – giving clear notice to CFC about how the match officiating will pan out on Saturday…?

    Doesn’t matter if they are: our spineless Board will just keep their heads down, as per.

    🙁

    Tells you all you need to know about Robertson. A typical hun, doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong, severely lacking in decently and morality. Just like the majority of his brethren.

    What a COWARDLY REFEREE.
