    Totally agree. The club need to finally take a stand on this and stop accepting this blatant bias. Let the SMSM call us paranoid, let the refs go on strike, let the SFA threaten us but, ffs, do something Celtic. Who knows, you might just earn a bit of respect from the fans who, at this moment, actually despise you for what you have done to our club.

    * me. I've just seen a slow motion replay of that tackle yesterday and it's even more blatant than what I thought. There's also a wee snippet about how Madhun and Halliday share a podcast together and are mates. Only in Scotland. This needs to be called out.

    They were awarded almost 3 time's more freekicks than us despite them having 26% possession. Lol..

    Was so frustrating how many FK they had last 10/15 mins but no one complains so they will just keep doing it. Abada goal was onside and Halliday should’ve been red carded and we would be sitting here on 3 points. Plus a decent shout for a penalty on Abada.

    Aside from the holes in the squad and deficiencies all over the park.

    One of our big problems is the lack of characters in the squad. When you think of the dressing room now, must be a dreadful atmosphere.

    When you think back to Lennon's first team with Forster, Mulgrew, Lustig, Brown, Ledley, Commons, Stokes, Hooper even Samaras, Kayal, Majstorovic, Loovens etc a lot of big players and captain material players - also big characters and people who seemed to get on with each other.

    Ronny's team had some of them and Gordon, Bailly, Van Dijk, Denayer, Armstrong, Johansen, Kazim- Richards.

    Rodgers had Gordon, Lustig, Toure, Ajer, Boyata, Sviatchenko, Tierney, Brown, Armstrong, Sinclair, Griffiths, Dembele.

    Now its moody wanks like Ntcham, Ajeti, Edouard, Griffiths a former good character who has went off the rails, is hated and never gets a game. Christie hated by a lot of fans. Bolingoli hated. Guys like Bitton, Rogic, McGregor and Forrest the leading long serving players who are quiet guys, 2 of whom bit part players alongside Griffiths and probably Bain another 2 bit part players who are disliked. Goalkeepers who probably can't look anycunt in the eye.

    Place must be a * graveyard, you can bet they are nervous as * and theres no atmosphere between them travelling to games etc

    John Kennedy, Gavin Strachan and the coaching team also don't seem a barrel of laughs.

    No surprise really..

    There was frictions in the coaching staff with Lennon and player's. Player's from the first team and academy revealing cliques in both camp's..

    Now another manager has had his coaching staff selected for him, with no doubt bad feeling carrying over from last season..

    The amount of player's we still have here that want away. Had Ntcham hanging around like a bad smell ril recently, Ajeti left out by Kennedy for * off and frozen out at time's already by Ange. The Griffiths situation that won't go down well amongst his teammates his conduct and unprofessionalism..

    Could go on and on..

    A big start would be the manager coming out and highlighting it. Needs to be highlighted at every occurrence too, like if we still manage to win but there was appalling/shady refereeing.

    Stevie was praised for that interview, creating an us vs them seige mentality. It would be interesting to see the reaction to Ange saying it, probably be labled as some crackpot Aussie conspiracy theorist.

    Everything’s fine, I’m sure Halliday will mention the tackle on the next podcast with Madhun.

    That might be true but it should say since 1888. Saying since the 1860s makes it sound made up.

    Yes we know the cheating goes on and we have seen it in many a game and it's been like this for decades as just read a old programme from 1968 where stein says in the last five games they had six goals chopped off and the refs are lot to be disired with their decisions .
    So even then the cheating was going on but the Celtic team was that good the masons in black they couldn't do anything about it and we need to get a strong squad again they are helpless with their cheating .

    That isn’t the * point though. We shouldn’t have to be good enough to best not only the team we are playing, but the officials as well. It should be a level * playing field.

    We can moan about it online as much as we want though, unless the custodians of the club call this out then * all will happen.

    Seen a hilarious (if it wasn’t so infuriating) stat that if Halliday was to get a retrospective red it would be Maddens fifth retrospective red given during a match he reffed.

    All five where either against us or against teams playing the hun.

    Any other league in the world he would be demoted. He will be rewarded with the opening derby match.

    That’s a * cert, him or that * Beaton from whom the polis are still looking for the death threats. This country is a * Masonic hole and always will be, but our board are too busy protecting the ‘old firm’ brand.

    It infuriates me, this attitude that if we're good enough then the officials don't matter.

    You look at any other team sport where an official has an influence, and tell me that the percentages we are seeing in our experience are so clear, either against us, or for one side.

    It is clearly blatant, and is no coincidence that it wasn't so obvious when Sevco were in the lower leagues. No major for or against decisions were made until they were in the top flight again, and last season simply went into overdrive.

    It is a national disgrace, and we continue to * against the wind.

    No question the officials are incompetent and many of them are bias, but we've just enjoyed the most successful domestic decade in our history, and that's because we were good enough despite the poor officiating.

    If a ref gives a free kick that should never have been, you still have to be able to defend it properly.

    Poor refereeing is nothing knew, it's been going on for decades.

    We can acknowledge the poor standard of officiating, but it's our own deficiencies as a team that's costing us in games.

    The best and only way to deal with it, is to win games of football, granted decisions can alter the course of a game, but i didn't come away from last nights game thinking we lost because of the ref, i was more concerned about our poor defence and inability to score.

    We should be good enough to win games of football. Why should we have to beat the officials as well though? Just because we should be better means we should suck it up?

    Should Usain Bolt have to start a second later or wear a ball and chain just cause he was faster than everyone else?

    Ridiculous stance mate.
