[Official TC Thread] Celtic V Hamilton, Tuesday 19th Jan > Kick off 7.45 pm.

Gutted I can't make this cause of work. Don't wanna predict the score and jinx us so any win will do and hopefully play some nice stuff too!

 

We'll absolutely hammer these the night..

Genuinely think it'll be 5 or 6 nil..

 

Willie Collum the ref tonight..

6/1 each for a penalty and red card tonight folk's. Worth a couple quid on each with that guy's card happy, ridiculous decisions history. Genuinely one of the worst officials I've ever seen..

 

you just know he's going to give a pen I'm tempted to stick money on it :smiley-laughing002:

 

I'd love to see his history and how many he's given per game compared to the rest. He'll give 2 a game no problem and send someone off and instead of keeping a low profile in the very next game, this * will do the exact same without fuss..

He's meant to be a qualified teacher, and I can just imagine him being a totally strict, hard to deal with * in class..

Both those 6's seem like printing money, we'll see

 

I'd hope for a convincing win and a good display by us and of course a trouble free match, as do all genuine supporters, on this subject see below :-

==============================================

Clubs could be docked points under anti-offensive behaviour plans

The SPFL plans to tackle crowd disorder with a new initiative.SNS Group
Scottish league clubs could face points deductions from next season for failing to control supporters under a radical new approach to crowd disorder being considered by the SPFL, Raman Bhardwaj reports.

STV has learned that the league governing body is asking for financial support from the Scottish Government to introduce a multi-million pound facial recognition scheme, designed to identify troublemakers at Scottish grounds.

The SPFL hierarchy is determined to take a firm stance on sectarian singing, the use of flares and other offensive behaviour following incidents involving Rangers, Celtic and Dundee United.
In conjunction with the introduction of the scheme, new sanctions are being proposed to punish clubs who do not pro-actively take action to prevent offensive behaviour.
A points deduction would be among the more severe outcomes under the plan, which would bring an end to the current policy of clubs not being punished as long as they openly condemn such behaviour.

The move towards technology, which would be the first of its kind in the UK, is designed to target violence, offensive singing, use of pyrotechnics and any other prohibited behaviour.

One proposal would see the introduction of facial recognition software to identify trouble makers and create a database of supporters who should not be granted entrance to grounds across the country. If someone on the black list attempts to enter a stadium, an alert would be received allowing clubs to take action.

It would be the responsibility of clubs to ensure these fans were unable to gain access to matches.

Meetings have already taken place between representatives of the SPFL and the Scottish Government over funding for a scheme that would implement facial recognition technology at Scottish grounds, allowing for the identification of known troublemakers.

It is hoped that any such funding would cover the cost of implementing the scheme in full.

Debate over how to deal with crowd disorder in Scottish football has escalated in recent weeks, following the use of flares and smoke bombs at games and incidents of sectarian singing.

Scottish FA chief executive Stewart Regan has called for the introduction of "strict liability" rules to bring clubs to account for any rule breaches, aligning Scottish rules with UEFA regulations.

STV understands the SPFL proposal would not involve introducing strict liability, with those behind the move hopeful their plans will provide a compromise between the current inaction and the desire for immediate punishment.

aye I mind seeing he was a qualified teacher a few years back.

I'm sure he gives a pen every other game could be wrong mind you

 

Facial recognition software ffs

We're just guinea pigs.

 

Penalties awarded by refs in 2013/14



He also averages 10 red cards a season, dishing out 112 in his career up until September last year

 

I used to think he was biased as * but hes just a horrific ref :smiley-laughing002:

 

Fairly even across the board and no standout, bar Willie's
Was that after 10 game's Mark?

There's an argument he's both..

 

* knows how they've picked him for the Euros he's * :smiley-laughing002:

 

10 red card's per season as well. He's that bad I'm actually shocked it's not more

 

I should have checked who the ref was, before sticking us on to win 5-0

 

What pubs in Glasgow are showing this tonight?

 

Is Sviatchenko available for tonight?

 

he's in Denmark just now.

 

The people you claim cause trouble are more genuine fans than you.

I would take a thousand of them over the likes of you.

 

he should be back in a few days.
