Remember the date, remember the opposition and remember the scoreline.
December 26th 2018 was the date Celtic overcame Willie Collum’s premier performance to continue their relentless march towards the SPFL title.
An absolutely incredible, inept and outrageous performance from Willie Collum was not enough on the day to spoil Celtic’s festive party at Pittodrie.
Failing to send an Aberdeen player off, giving Aberdeen a scandalous penalty for a blatant dive were just some of the decision on the day that shows where Willie Collum is as a referee.
A man unable to send Nial McGinn off while at the same time in the dying embers of a game, yellow cards a Celtic player for ‘time wasting’ when we’ve seen many more teams dither for longer without repercussion.
It was remarkable. With five minutes to go, Collum looked to have rescued a point for the Dons who were screaming for everything all day in the hope of matching up to the Champions.
They got their wish but not the end result. A converted penalty but Celtic took it up a gear, scoring two goals in four minutes to land all three points against the Reds.
A late Ferguson goal gave them slight hope, but in the end, Celtic did enough!
I have to say that I agree entirely with your comments. Collum’s display and pouting were ridiculous.
McGinn should have been red carded, the 2nd penalty was a blatant dive and the supposed time wasting was a nonsense booking.
It is time also that Gordon was shown the door. He had an absolute howler today (yet another one). Scott Bain is a much more accomplished keeper with greater all round abilities and is someone who commands the respect of the defence and keeps them calm.
Without a Doubt,Wullie Collum was Aberdeens best player today.He is a closet Sevco Trumpateer.Disgraceful how this cnt and cnts like him can Officiate proffesional football games.Stop The Ten in full view of Everyone.And still the fanny couldnt beat the Green Juggernaut..HfH
Why are Sevco fans allowed to ref football games. Come on the hoops.
