I’ve actually avoided criticising them this season…until last Sunday!!
I’ve actually praised Father Collum for the VAR review show. The openness and honesty is long overdue. I don’t blame him in the demise of officiating in Scotland.
Rangers haven’t been awarded a penalty in over nine months but the independent review panel say we should have 5 or 6. Now just imagine if that happened to Celtic!
Rangers haven’t been awarded a penalty at Celtic park in 20 years. Again imagine that was the other way around.
Look at the Kilmarnock games this season. For some reason they have been on the end of some outrageous decisions and benefited from a few.
The difference in Scotland is the game is run to benefit one club. I’m a Rangers fan so obviously I can be accused of bias so don’t take my word for it. Stuart Gilmour , ex St Mirren chairman, outed this. Stewart Milne , ex Aberdeen Chairman, has spoken of Lawwells unhealthy influence on the game. George Peat , ex SFA president, has publicly spoken of Lawwell trying to heavily influence them
