    At the time, I thought it was a penalty. Having seen the replays, it's clear that Boyata won the ball. Regular occurrence at Hampden with big decisions against us.

    Looked a great tackle from behind the goal which isn't the best of views of it. But he gets the ball. if it's penalty why wasn't he booked?

    Did anybody notice the linesman didn't seem to want to have any part of it. The ref pointed to the spot and the Linesman never moved from the corner flag, then the ref went to speak to him and still went back giving the penalty but the linesman still never moved from the corner flag and only started walking over to behind the goal once it was ready to be took, after the goal he never ran towards the half way line either signalling a goal or that he just walked back over to where he was before.

    Didn't even cross my mind at the game that it was a penalty. Saw replay now Boyata clearly wins the ball

    The anti-Celtic campaign will be stepped up in the more important games but you can assured that we'll be given token decisions (sometimes really bad ones) in meaningless games where we're completely out of sight. This is to make it look as if 'these things even themselves out over a season'.

    There will be dreadful decisions against us in the final should the Klan get there. We may also see some cheating when we play the Sheep on Wed.

    Can people not accept that in this day and age the referees up here are just * awful? Have you actually watched other SPL matches and seen how horrendous the decision making is across the board?

    No one is saying they're not "* awful".

    Although being absolutely * at their job does not detract away from clear evidence that some of them are downright cheating hun *.

    You would expect more poor decisions to occur is games where teams actually give us a game (they spend longer in our half, have more possession that requires tackles, etc). Likewise in games where we pump the opponent from start to finish you would expect more soft decisions to go our way (more in box possession, more shots on goal, etc). What you are stating is actually more statistically likely than a random split of bad decisions over a season.

    Either way, if there is a conspiracy against celtic then it is genuinely the shitiest conspiracy attempt in the history of conspiracy attempts!

    How can any Celtic fan deny there's a clear bias against us ? Baffles me.

    I've said this many times, I don't think there's a group conspiracy against us. I think there are individual referees with their own agenda.

    Given a split second decision to make, I always think someone will make it in a way that would benefit their own interests. That's a natural thing to do.

    Considering there are more hun like refs than anything else, then we will be on the wrong end of big decisions more often than not.

    I always said that the oldco, at the time, were so successful as a club, was down to playing with the wind at their back.

    Could it just be a wee bit likely that although the Dead Cheats F.C. had great success in domestic competitions , and next to no success in European football . It can be partly explained by the fact that officials were neutral in European competition . I once attended a sportsman's dinner where Bobby Tait was a speaker . He was fairly entertaining , but made no effort to hide that he was a biased Ref' in his time as an official in Scottish football . Do you think you can name an ex Ref' that was as out there with his support for Celtic , as some ex Refs ( or even current refs ) were/are for Rangers/Sevco ?

    I did like Stokesies conduct post penalty, very calm slots it away but then turns and runs back to the centre.

    No celebration, no gleeful melee with team-mates.
