BBC Scotland just won’t let go of the incredible claim that Celtic are running Scottish football with compliant referees helping the cause.
With a CEO afraid to speak to Gerry McCulloch for a dull, scripted interview it is quite a stretch to justify Michael Nicholson pulling the strings across the SFA and SPFL.
Chairman Brian Wilson spends most of his life thinking up ways to blame the SNP Government which has just been returned with a massive mandate from the people of Scotland.
And yet Celtic somehow have match officials in their pocket.
Like David Dickinson, Calum Spence and Don Robertson who refused Ben Nygren a penalty away to Hibs.
Like David Roome who flagged for offside against Daizen Maeda’s virtual title clincher against Hearts.
While they portray themselves as operating to higher standards BBC Scotland appeals directly to the same demographic as the Daily Record, Herald and Daily Mail.
They pander and appeal to angry bears.
Fans that think that three trophies over 14 years is the result of some dark plot to deny their new club a similar haul to the tainted trophies won under Dave Murray.
‘That’s got to be a penalty!’

Appealing to their base audience BBC Scotland decided to release the video clip above on Sunday night.
BBC SCOTLAND CAN’T COPE WITH CELTIC’S CONTINUED SUCCESSES
By 6am on Sunday it had been viewed over 320,000 times on Twitter, attracting 659 comments.
Exactly the intention. Commercialism, engagement. No attempt to explain why the decision was given. Certainly no higher standards.
It was the type of challenge that you see in almost every match.
Claire Walsh gets her foot in to nick the ball away from Mia McAuley. The forward showed too much of the ball, Walsh’s interception was perfect.
In some cases McAuley would have been booked for her theatrics. Not in this case.
Celtic won the Women’s Scottish Cup to complete a month of absolute misery at BBC Sport.
They covered Celtic winning three trophies and two Glasgow Derbies.
Defeated manager Leanne Crichton will be part of the BBC’s extensive World Cup coverage, based in Glasgow.
No but you really should be ashamed of the quality of your commentary team. A couple of bias bastards of the highest order. Their pain was delicious tho!

Yes, 100% stonewaller – Walsh knees McAulay on the knee to wipe her out then plays the ball after that. Really poor refereeing on VAR not to spot that pic.twitter.com/htjU9IZiU1

Clearly won the ball. All the nasty commentary about justice and that was ridiculous. Not won of them mentioned the ball was kicked.

That bluenose split arse doing the commentary must have thought she was auditioning for hun tv.
Her views were HUNbelievable and a downright disgrace to boot !
Her comments about the Celtic goalie making a miraculous recovery,shortly after the sending off was a fn disgrace,as was the huns winger who fell over at the slightest contact to get her opponent red carded.
Great to hear them stewing in their own inimitable hun way as 10 Ghirls won the cup against all the odds.
Their collective angst and pain was a joy to behold.
F**K THEM !!!
Ps,isn’t it about time that donkey called Hill with the hatchet face who appears in a blue shirt be put out to pasture……in isolation, of course.
We don’t want her stampeding the other horses,after all.
The female. Commentator was Gemma fae former Celtic goalkeeper they clearly didnt want to see the Rangers women like the men win nothing
Thats what oldco get for cheating for years using ebt sideletters aand now the newco are doing the same thing cheating but thats the only wae newco knows how to won anything and its cheating with the sfa.spfl and their officials thats why the sfa.spfl wont changed the rules because Beaton Dallas Dickinson Walsh clancy collum and red card mr Ross and few others Scottish football is corrupt as fucked and has been with they masonic fuckpigs running it all the clubs in scotland had there chances in 2012 when oldco ranjurs got liquidated the clubs should have kicked them out of Scottish football for good and thats afact except the rsts running the sfa.spfl wanted ssome sort of team un blue playing at liebrox its a disgrace i which Ferguson McCann was still running running celtic because the cheating bastards and there cheating officials would have been voted off our game but it will never change now because cheating masonic fuckpigs from liebrox get away with murder añ they know it the RATBAG S.#
D I S G U S T I N G !!
Celtic now really have to take a strong stand against the BBC as an organisation and/or certain individuals employed by them.
Easy for me to say, but our board simply do not care enough,for our club or fans. What an utterly spineless lot.
if you don’t toe the hun line on that station you’re a goner
Yes, it should have been a penalty to sevco women.
Yes, the penalty we got against Motherwell was never a handball.
Yes, Celtic runs Scottish football – including the match officials.
So… what are sevco, hertz or the SMSM going to do about it?!
They can moan all they want.

B!oodyBiggottedCunts….
Oh the trophy room’s bare…
And it’s no fu**in fair…
Cos there’s no silverware…
Up the mara ble stair…
They’ll no need Mr Sheen…
Cos they’ve f*uck all to clean…
Oh it’s no fu**in fair…
Cos the trophy room’s bare…
Song for The Bitchetts as well as The Bigots now…
If Carlsberg done seasons and all that !!!
Is there a tune to accompany that wee rhyme?
The commentary for yesterday’s final was unbelievably one-sided, like a throwback to Francey and co.
BBC Scotland constantly harking back to Sir Minty Moonbeams, Gazza, Coisty and Laudo and Rainjurz in their pomp slightly reminds me of Henry Hill’s closing monologue at the end of ‘Goodfellas’ rueing his reduced circumstances…..
“See, the hardest thing for me was leaving the life. I still love the life…We ran everything. We paid off cops. We paid off lawyers. We paid off judges. Everybody had their hands out. Everything was for the taking.
And now it’s all over. And that’s the hardest part. Today, everything is different. There’s no action. I have to wait around like everyone else. Can’t even get decent food. Right after I got here I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I’m an average nobody. I get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.”
Regrets, I’ve had a few…. etc
