A lot has been made of the complete ineptitude of our officials when it comes to ‘protecting’ Celtic players, or simply put when it comes to applying the rules.
The image below is something which epitomises the current scene in Scottish football and how Celtic players have been on the rough end of dangerous challenges and decisions which could have had a significant bearing on the game.
The image shows Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard being treated for an injury after the player was fouled in the box and took a sore one, no yellow card, no penalty. The guy lying across from Edouard is Ryan Christie who also was fouled in the box two seconds before Edouard was ‘challenged’, again nothing given.
Willie Collum in the far left-hand side of the pitch walking away, in a ‘nothing to see’ here manner.
It’s quite perplexing.
Tom Boyd called for something to be done to stop this sort of thing happening and going unpunished. The former Celtic captain believes foreign refs should come in and officiate SPFL matches as the current crop aren’t up to the task.
Shocking – The Image Which Sums Up SPFL Officials Disregard for Celtic
Edouard had to go off in a stretcher after being fouled and is now a major doubt for some of Celtic’s most important games of the season.
No penalty though, meanwhile at Ibrox…
We live in a sick society when a supposed referee is there to be a neutral observer and adjuicate on 90+ minutes of football, and yet this FIFA rated dumbo can’t see a BLATENT penalty offence, in fact there was two within seconds. Take your pick Collum, they are both penalties! The image shows the hun ref walking away, no concerns for the two players laying injured. Total disregard for players under his watch.
Andy Walker you’re a rat. “Shugnessy is entitled to go for the ball”…..but not entitled to take a player out in the same instance ya feckin muppet.
Should Collum be doing cpr on Christie?
Will it take the death of a second Celtic player to prompt some action?
Gollam played ‘advantage’ The little bald cun7. And he played ‘advantage’ to every other player in the top flight. Other than Celtics. This has to stop. Or they will be breaking bones with impuity. Surely thats the point of having a ‘After the fact commission via video evidence’. Well its not working is it. OR IS IT???????? And who is it assisting????
