In trouble for telling the truth. 

Every football fan in Scotland apart from those who follow Rangers knows its the truth, it always has been. The ugly sisters, Rangers in particular get more than their fair share of penalties, read the link below.

But the SFA / SPFL are shit scared of upsetting them so any criticism however trivial is punished.

Those stats aren't massively damning without context, tbh. If anything, sounds like we should be starting some conspiracy theories about why Accies get the second-highest number of penalties, given how infrequently the ball goes anywhere near their opponents' box compared to either Rangers or Celtic.

Every ref has to live in the community.  Going shopping, out for a meal there is a good chance  they will be recognized. The vast majority will be Rangers/Celtic supporters.  Make a bad decision that goes against them and their name will be villified in the papers for days. It is a subconscious reaction but it must go through their minds the way to a quiet life is not to make a bad decision against either of them.  Often the Old Firm complain that foreign refs seem to be against them. But they jet in referee the game and fly out again and don't meet supporters or read the melt down in the press when things don't go the way of the Old Firm. Remember Beaton in a Rangers pub in Bellshill or Dallas getting his windows panned in.
