Ffs desperate stuff

No diving talk from you this week.

Collum doing Collum things.
Desperate my arse. Stonewall penalty. Remember Iwata’s against Hearts? If that was Scales, the Daily Ranger would still be going on about it when we hit 5 in a row. That’s two years. Just so you know.

And the penalty you got?

Yet another Celtic simulation and no retrospective ban!!

Rangers had two penalties denied last night. Some are claiming 3 but push on McAusland would’ve been soft. I’m not going to greet about it as it’s a weekly occurrence

15 years now since Rangers were awarded a penalty at the chamber of secrets!

Just for the record the one you’ve highlighted is never a penalty!

First OF game perfectly good goal disallowed

Third OF game perfectly good goal disallowed

Last OF game joke of a penalty for Celtic

Two Rangers players Red carded this season. No Celtic player Red carded in OF games

Nothing to see here.

lunstrum was a def red. Our penalty was a penalty. As for secrets, the real rangers had the same issues. One of the accused at Ivricmx topped himself. This holier than though doesn’t wash with people who know your secrets.

What perfectly good goal? The one where Dessers tripped Lager? That’s a foul. If Lager had did the same foul on Dessers he would have been sent off.

I know you’re hurting, as you face down the barrel of another period of being also rans. I’m here for you.

I won’t get into a debate on secrets. Nobody wins these debates. I’m satisfied that survivors will soon see justice. Hopefully certain ex Celtic officials see the inside of a jail cell for their part in the cover up.

You’re not seriously suggesting that was a penalty? Nah no way you seriously believe that.

The goal in the first game should never have been disallowed. Dreadful decision, not quite as bad as Clancy disallowing Morelos goal when Johnstone Dived at Parkhead.

The goal in the 3-3 should have stood as THREE Celtic players touched it before it went in!

Both Rangers Red cards were absolute stick ons. My complaint is several Celtic players could have been off in the first three games.

One goal has separated the teams in 3 games and a draw in the other. Those decisions go in Rangers favour and ……

We shouid have scored five each match. You are so predictable as you have no real class in midfield, so, you miss them out and travel back to the 70’s with punts. You need a massive overall/rebuild again for the umpteenth time us the last years. Every time we find out your latest Messyah, is just another naughty boy, it’s Rangers rebuild, every fucking season. You must know you are dog shit? I don’t know how many new share issues you will need, I think it will be number 25 and counting. Waffler is quoted today saying you need to bring through Academy players in a “difficult financial situation” that means, fuck all money. And, as your academy is as shit as ours, good luck with that. The only hope you gave, as I can see it, is if our board of utter shitebags carry on being utter shitebags. That is a possibility I could never rule out. If they actually grow a pair, we get people to scout that know what a player looks like, you could be in for another few years of, we won the league with 8 games to go Cup. Not as good as Skippy’s “if games only lasted 85 minutes Cup.

Who do you want to keep from your squad?
 
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!

I’ve checked and it’s not the 1st of April!!

The hand of Peter all over this!!

Willie Collum has been appointed Head of Refereeing at the Scottish FA following an extensive recruitment process.

The vastly experienced Category One referee will take up his duties in early July after tendering his resignation as a local authority Education Officer. He will end almost 30 years of refereeing – 20 of which were spent as a Category One match official and FIFA International Referee – with immediate effect to replace the outgoing Crawford Allan, who leaves the role at the end of the season.

The Scottish FA and global sports recruitment experts Elevate Talent compiled a list of experienced applicants from four different continents. Willie’s experience, leadership responsibilities within the Scottish education system, understanding of the Scottish football landscape and resilience made him the outstanding candidate.

He has refereed at UEFA EURO 2016, the 2015 UEFA Super Cup, in four Scottish Cup finals, two League Cup finals, and in over 250 FIFA and UEFA club and international competitions including the Champions League and Europa League, World Cup and European Qualifiers.

The 45-year-old believes the time is right to help current and future referees maximise their potential.

“I am proud and honoured to be appointed the Scottish FA’s Head of Refereeing,” said the 45-year-old. “It’s well-known that I took up refereeing at the age of 14 and today’s announcement is the culmination of some of the greatest experiences of my career.

“It’s my strong view that the role of Head of Refereeing is responsible to all of Scottish football, not just the association, as I am fully aware of the passion and expectations from clubs, players, supporters and match officials themselves.

“I wouldn’t have achieved half of what I have as a referee without the support of my colleagues and team-mates within refereeing and my immediate priority is to galvanise the current network of match officials from Category One to those taking the field for the first time.

“I’ve been in their shoes at every level and want to help others fulfil their potential by overcoming the challenges along the way and seizing the opportunities.

“I will outline my plan in detail when I start officially but I was emphatic throughout the interview process that I want to improve, with consultation and consensus, the operation and delivery of VAR for all concerned. I want to use my experience to alleviate the unsustainable burden on our match officials and improve relations and mutual respect between match officials, club officials, players, coaches and fans.

“I would like to thank Crawford for leading the implementation of VAR and I know I can count on him for advice during the handover period and along the way. I look forward to getting started.”

Ian Maxwell, Scottish FA Chief Executive: “When we announced that Crawford was leaving at the end of the season the board and senior team were clear that we would leave no stone unturned in getting the best candidate for a job that has become significantly more demanding with the arrival of VAR.

“We had applications from experienced candidates across the UK, Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. It is to Willie’s great credit that he emerged as the outstanding candidate from such a strong international field.

“Willie has had a unique refereeing career, which started in his early teens. He has gone on to become one of our most experienced and decorated match officials and has amassed the practical knowledge and experience to make a significant contribution as Head of Refereeing.

“He spoke with passion and purpose on how he sees the role of Head of Refereeing. We look forward to him implementing his plan and I would like to reiterate my thanks to Crawford Allan for his contribution over the last four years, not least leading on the feasibility and implementation of VAR. I know he will be on hand to support Willie during the handover period as required.”
