Celtic and their fanbase’s ‘victim mindset’ ramped up tenfold when O’Neill went there in the year 2000, along with the attitude you see nowadays of “let us behave how we want, say what we want, sing what we want and if you have a problem with any of that you are an anti-Catholic, anti-Irish right wing racist…but don’t you say or sing anything that we don’t like because that offends us”. He emboldened them with and created a siege mentality, using Neil Lennon in particular to push the anti-Irish agenda and result of all of that is Celtic have the footballing authorities, the media and politicians scared of doing or saying anything to upset them. Do not believe for one second that Martin O’Neill is anything other than a very dangerous, manipulative person. Luckily for the rest of Scottish Football he should be away very very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodo Posted Sunday at 06:38 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 06:38 PM There should have been no penalty decision to be made in the Celtic game as Ralston who took the shy was clearly on the pitch when he threw the ball . So foul throw should have been awarded to us and game is over 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So foul throw should have been awarded to us and game is over I've noticed for at least the last two seasons that the foul shy law is virtually redundant anyway. Incursion on the pitch and simply "chucking it" are common. It seems our referees decide which laws to enforce and which to ignore. I'm afraid we have to accept that we were extremely unlikely to get anything out of that game. It was effectively a case of "keep playing until they score or are given a penalty". JBA is well out of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change the rules to allow that. Exactly my point.

texanwellfan Posted Monday at 02:50 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 02:50 PM Yep, touching the line is the criteria. I will say though, this season just passed I saw a lot of players not keeping both feet on the ground and officials didn’t see it. I think they don’t pay attention as they are fully expecting that every professional player can take a throw in properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even forgetting Ralstons foul throw, before they got up the park Beaton gave them a throw that was ours on the edge of the Celtic box, he had a great view of it.

We cant change anything now I suspect that's been Mr Beaton's most commonly used phrase over the past few weeks. That's probably his JRP Gordon moment, while it supercedes the time he never spotted the Dundee goalkeeper falling into the side of the net with the ball, it's obviously going to be Hearts and Rangers that will be most aggrieved by that decision against Celtic, and they will not let him forget it. Just waiting for Collum's take on things on his monthly apology show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not it was an actual penalty is now largely irrelevant. What will be be fascinating is how he analyses the process. The referee makes a call, rightly or wrongly. That decision must stand unless there is compelling clear and obvious evidence that he got it wrong. No-one, except diehard Celtic fans and some Hibs fans have seen that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago It won't make much difference regarding what is seen or heard on any VAR show. No action will be taken, no changes made, refs will still favour the OF with big calls and VAR will continue to be a pox on our game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stv Posted 54 minutes ago Report Share Posted 54 minutes ago Beaton will be back as usual next season. I really hope his first game is at Tynecastle. No mention of him giving Celik the title at Fir Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
