Where’s the penalties one? Where’s the one of opposing players getting red carded?

Given the lesser greens last game, they are in no position to complain about dodgy refs.

One game? What about Rangers getting all those penalties and we attack more and score more? It’s an anomaly I would be grateful if you took a stab at explaining.

Check out those Celtic refs giving Rangers a hard time. A fucking joke. Rangers player handles the ball blatantly, nothing to see, goes anywhere near an opposition player, Penalty to Rangers. Take away the penalties and you would be 20 points behind. But even with this blatant cheating we are still miles ahead.

Celtc supporting Refs give them everything and Rangers supporting Refs are petrified to give any big decisions to Rangers as the mhedia witch-hunt will not be far behind

This is why Celtic are against VAR. Officials can look and give clear decisions whereas previously referees in Scotland knew they had to give them the benefit of the doubt every single time in case television replays later proved them wrong. Which always meant their media friends accusing them of bias, bigotry and calls for them to be demoted or sacked. All on the front pages.

A crackpot Internet conspiracy theory if ever there was one
Totally contradicting the facts of course

Celtc concede 0-2 penalties per season pre VAR, this season 7 already, when the rules are applied

You do know that line drawn might not necessarily be the correct angle of course?

I was taking a break. I kept looking in and noticed it had all gone to shit. I thought, fuck sake this place has lost its vim and vigour. As you know Gunner, I’m all about the vim and vigour. :) Hope you’re well.

All good here, I'm an Arsenal fan this season rather than Rangers of course! Glad to see you back, hope your well and looking forward to a wee spar again going forward! ;-)
