Ally McCoist has fuelled the paranoia overflowing through Ibrox supporters.
Some seem to think that a refereeing team that includes Douglas Ross, a Tory MSP, thug cop Graeme Stewart and Steven McLean for Saturday’s match against Aberdeen is proof of the Grand Papal conspiracy.
On Monday, almost synchronised, Kris Boyd, Barry Ferguson and Andy Halliday squealed about refereeing issues.
Apparently the Dujon Sterling handball incident against Celtic was mirrored by Alex Gogic on Sunday. No penalty was awarded against the St Mirren defender.
And of course Daizen Maeda and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain should have been sent off against Motherwell. Celtic enjoyed the generosity of John Beaton. Seriously, there are people that think that way. Getting paid to broadcast those views.
MCCOIST DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THE SPFL SPLIT
With the refereeing issues highlighted attention is now turning to the post split SPFL fixtures.
Five matches have to be scheduled, the main target is to give every club 19 home and 19 away matches.
Before the split Celtic will have played 16 home matches and 17 away. Taking them to 19 is the task, something that even McCoist should be capable of.
Listening to the cheeky-chappy on Talk SPORT this morning, the Daily Record reports McCoist saying:
Celtic had a good result beating Motherwell. I know Motherwell went down to ten man but it’s still a good 3-1.
Yes Fletch. When you wipe out an opponent in front of goal you are very likely to get sent off. Ab-sa-lootly.
I watched the Rangers game. 1-0 up, should have been two or three and then you know what it’s like, the nerves kick in a little bit.
I don’t know when the fixtures come out but I think you’ll get your usual five home games and we’ll get one at home and four away. You know something like that will happen.
The Celtic Rangers game will be big, but Rangers have got to go to Tynecastle and I think Celtic have to play Hearts at Parkhead.
Absolutely they’ll face Hearts at home. I’ll tell you what Fletch, Celtic have already been to Ibrox and Tynecastle twice in their opening 30 matches.
The post split target for the SPFL is to balance out the home and away fixtures of the leading clubs.
It has been that way for over 20 years.
Falkirk, Motherwell or Hibs will be given a third visit to Celtic Park.
Celtic are the only top six club that will have been away to Dundee, Dundee United and Aberdeen in the opening rota of 33 matches.
Super Salary the Hit n Run drivers Dad. How many times has the Hun mask slipped.
I respected McCoist after the the way he and Walter did what they did at Tommy Burns Funeral under pressure from the devils lair now he is a joke
Sleekit should stick to annoying his neighbours
with property developments.
Used to think ‘he was OK’ pre-2012: now just can’t listen to him / have to mute or switch off.
Everyone of they EBT profiteers have all said the same Ox & meada off but their newco club are the worst offenders for kicking opponents & getting away wi it .Half the time Sky ,BBC Scotland don’t show the Celtic penalties or blatant fouls again our club , Nothing to see here move on
They huns try everything in their power to stop Celtic FC and the SFA use the same antics through their devoted referees, the have a code A.B.C. ANYONE BUT CELTIC. This was said by a feferee online whilst being intoxicated its blatant, which makes the wins for CELTIC F.C. ALL THE SWEETER.
The box fix is in…
Celtic are getting fu*k all that they’re due at Tannadice and neither are Aberdeen at Liebrox !
*Edit
The BIG fix is in !
Anyone noticed the pattern of when Sevco are in touch and in with a chance this constant bleating is cranked up to levels that are obviously intended to affect refs performances but when its a gap that to most, obviously can’t be overhauled it’s more of a bottom lipped acceptance of the situation.
The pundits, ex pros etc a re bad enough but it’s the media to blame entirely for the paranoia over there.
The virtual black out of anything negative against Sevco since 2012 combined with the continuous campaign that Celtic benefit is the root cause of all their ire.
Leg break tackles are air brushed, obvious penalty decisions are completely ignored whilst the level of scrutiny in Celtic matches is North Koreanesque….
When you’ve reached a stage the likes of Beaton is being accused of being a sympathiser, you know all is not well over at the bigotdome.
