lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Penalties in the SPFL this year. Poor Celtic... I don't know how significant this is but if you compare the five other bottom six clubs they're either level on pens for/pens against or just at -1. We're at -6. One for the stattos. Have we ever gone thru a whole season without scoring from a penalty? Or when was the last time that happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Ive always thought the additional behind the goal ref should be on the opposite side from the linesman,realistically they are both going to see pretty much the same thing, if the behind the goal ref was on the other side of the goals he would have spotted it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 That's something that has puzzled me as well. I've also yet to see any of these guys actually make a decision in any game I've seen with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Nixon Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Try telling William he's not good enough. I went hoarse telling him that last time I saw him referee us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Nothing clear cut about hand ball these days. Used to be that any hand ball was a penalty..full stop. Now there is lots of doubt on whether it is deliberate or not. Meechins looked as though his head was looking down at the ground when the ball struck his hand and not at the ball which you would think would be his eye direction if he were trying to stop the ball deliberately. Sour grapes and grasping from Celtic could see a young guy miss what could be the only final of his career. Very sad indeed for Celtic to act this way.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 So who is the referee that is the Jags fan? Andrew Dallas. Not the greatest of fans as we were winning 4-0 at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck snort Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 That's something that has puzzled me as well. I've also yet to see any of these guys actually make a decision in any game I've seen with them When the goal line officlals were first used they were on the opposite side from the linesman but they moved them after refs said they didn't like it because they were on their side of the diagonal they take when the action is near the goals. They said they were automatically finding themselves in bad positions in avoiding getting too close to the extra official and asked for them to be shifted over to the linesman's side. You don't see them make a decision because all the discussions with the ref are via their headsets. I have seen them miss some obvious decisions though.

Barney Rubble Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Sour grapes and grasping from Celtic could see a young guy miss what could be the only final of his career. Very sad indeed for Celtic to act this way. Sorry for the partial quote, but that works both ways, in my view. The same poor decision may have easily cost a Celtic player their only chance at a final, and only time will tell if that is the case. However, leaving that aside, I fully agree that the East End ugly sister should behave with more dighnity in the circumstances. It happens - they need to learn to get over it.

I bet somebody at Celtic uttered those very words earlier this season when they received that letter from Legia Warsaw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also yet to see any of these guys actually make a decision in any game I've seen with them I think Scotland v Gibraltar for the first penalty was clearly given by the assistant.

Members Willjag Posted April 21, 2015 Members Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Heard Radio Scotland interviewing John Collins about their decision to make their "clarification" public. Even he sounded really embarrassed about it! Crap decision to make Meekings miss the final. I feel the compliance officer has now made a rod for his own back with that decision. This must surely mean that every handball that's not spotted by the officials will now result in a post match punishment. As long as Celtic are happy though that's all that matters eh? <_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Yet further reason to despise this fetid, arrogant shower of elitists. Celtic FC are a total disgrace, and anathema to all that is decent about Scottish football. Their arrogance has hit a disturbing new high with this contemptuous action. I feel nothing but undiluted contempt for them. Let them get involved in English League football, or some other stage away from Scotland where they can foist their arrogance on a new audience. They really are a foul outfit. May they experience nothing other than gross misfortune for as long as they exist. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must surely mean that every handball that's not spotted by the officials will now result in a post match punishment. As long as Celtic are happy though that's all that matters eh? Not sure that'll be the case. The club not getting the decision will probably have to raise a complaint. And it'll be a case of those who shout the loudest and we all know who that will be. Also if the club not getting the decision go on to win the game or get beaten by a big score then they won't have need to raise the complaint. So the guy only gets suspended for the perceived injustice not for the actual misdemeanour. If Celtic had gone on to win the semi final does anyone believe Meekings would've been suspended for ICT's first cup game next season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottyDFA Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 John Collins complaining about this is a joke. He did the same thing for Scotland against the Netherlands at Euro 96. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulo Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 This actually makes me angry. It's nothing to do with me, or my club, but the sheer arrogance and sense of entitlement - which is now being backed up by the ruling body itself - makes me feel ashamed to be associated with it in any small way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 To take it away from Celtic for a moment. The fact that have conceded so many penalties and been given so few is maybe part of the reason we aren't challenging for top 6 this season. Not suggesting for a minute that there's a conspiracy of course but I guess it just shows how weak we were defensively earlier in the season. Teams were cutting us open and forcing us into these last ditch tackles in the box. This is also something we haven't been doing enough ourselves at the other end of the park. Teams like St. Mirren have been able to stifle our attacking threat meaning we haven't been forcing them in to the same last ditch challenges in the box that our defenders have been making. The good thing is that we have improved massively on the defensive side and I'm going to stick my neck out and predict at least one penalty for us before the end of the season!

My wife hasn't got the hang of measuring volume. She still thinks a pint equates in actual terms to about 2 gallons. Her cake baking has suffered as a result.
