Paranoid bears are outraged over key Celtic decision

Paranoid bears were out in force yesterday as they poured over every aspect of Celtic’s win away to Dundee.

All week they had convinced themselves that Celtic would lose again in the City of Discovery to effectively end their reign as SPFL champions.

Ahead of the game they had every legacy publisher proclaiming Danny Rohl’s side as Scottish champions.

Back in the day Steven Gerrard claimed the 87th minute SPFL title, now they title was being decided after 32 matches, even though four clubs had only plated 31 games.

Hearts reclaimed top spot just before 4pm, at 4.30pm attention switched to Celtic with every stat suggesting that the hoops would toil to take anything from Dens Park.

THE GRAND CELTIC CONSPIRACY?

Celtic started brightly, getting the ball down the wings with a few crossed fired into the goalmouth. From one of them every bear shouted CONSPIRACY.

There was of course absolutely nothing wrong with the goal. If there was a way the VAR team would have found it. Squinty lines or whatever it takes.

Unfortunately for the Gullible and Deluded Yang Hyun-jun was behind Ben Nygren when the Swede provided the assist for the opening goal.

Matthew MacDermid was on VAR duty, he is from a similar background as Willie Collum.

All of that doesn’t matter. SFA Refereeing is controlled by the Lanarkshire Refereeing Association, all of the senior figures owe their careers to Hugh Dallas. Especially Collum.

If it wasn’t for a box ticking exercise Collum wouldn’t have gone beyond refereeing in amateur football matches.

Collum rose through the ranks despite his lack of ability to apply the Laws of the Game. Just like Andrew Dallas at the same time.

Collum is now technically Head of Refereeing. The SFA created two roles for full-time VAR officials when Andrew Dallas had to retire with a sore knee. Greg Aitken got the other job.

The man from Ayrshire wouldn’t fulfil any inclusive rules in any organisation outside of the SFA.

Refereeing decisions could well have a big influence on the destiny of the SPFL Premiership title.

John Beaton, David Dickinson and Don Robertson will be heavily involved in the remaining fixtures. As referees and VAR officials.
