He should have been off but the ref bottled it.

Agreed. It was very strange. But I’m not surprised.

Shinnie should have been off there. Collum bottled it.

How the f*ck can a ref blow the whistle on such an attacking free kick!?

I’ve never seen as much obvious tugging by Aberdeen players that has gone unpunished. Consisting was all over Tav there.

Windass stupid there but blatantly fouled before he went down.

Is it just me or was that a handball in the box!?

By the look of it just barely.

From a Motherwell fan BEFORE last nights match..eeek LawSteelman LawSteelman is offline Hall Of Fame Join Date Oct 2004 Posts 3,456 The hold that Celtic FC have over Scottish football Seven years ago this month there was a refereeing strike in this country that had never been seen before or since. This forced the SFA to bring in foreign referees to officiate Scottish football matches and what was the reason behind this? Celtic Football Club. They bullied, shouted and threatened all sorts until a referee who had made a mistake in a match involving them and tried to cover it up was removed from position and used this to support their daft conspiracy. Never mind that in the incident in question they were actually incorrectly awarded a penalty...but nah move on nothing to see here! That club, it's supporters, various players and managers over the years have played 'professional victim' and stamped their feet and whinged and wailed to anyone who would listen that they were hard done to, downtrodden, victimised by match officials and anyone who disagreed with their warped, tunnel visioned, deluded views was pro-Rangers and therefore anti Celtic and also anti Irish and anti- Roman Catholic. Now, to any sane person this is obviously utter nonsense, but sadly people who repeat lies often enough and shout them loudly enough, the more gullible tend to accept them as fact and indeed sadly even some Motherwell fans but into their bigoted myth that if you show dislike of Celtic then "you must be a bigot". We've seen examples of that on this very board over the years and in some cases at Fir Park too, examples of Well fans being influenced by Celtic's 'victim propaganda'. It's not just our fans who are influenced by them. It's various others and their clubs. Result of that is that Celtic can get ridiculous decisions given in their favour like the penalty on Sunday and very little is made of it. I can guarantee you, had Moult gone down like that in exactly the same circumstances up the other end and we'd been awarded a penalty for it then Moult would be facing a ban by now and it would be the number one sports story for weeks. For anyone who doubts this, look back to Celtic's 2015 SCSF against Inverness and the penalty they didn't get. They had supporters reps writing to the SFA demanding action and Josh Meekings of Inverness was offered a ban. Their chums in the press were greetin about it for weeks on end afterwards too. Then last season, Scott Brown - who gets away with murder week in, week out - had a completely justified red card rescinded basically all because of the fuss Celtic kicked up over a dive by a Ross County player in a separate incident. People love to go on about corruption in Scottish football with the preferred belief that it is 'The Old Firm' or more so, Rangers who benefit but from what I can see there is only one club up here who have the authorities by the balls and are having the entire game run for their benefit...and that club isn't Rangers. Scottish football would be a much better place without Celtic FC and all the baggage that goes hand in hand with them, they are a cancer on our game

https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/competitions/premiership/why-gary-mackay-steven-could-have-been-awarded-a-penalty-at-ibrox-1-4628168 Yes, in the 7 days that Celtic were handed two seriously dodgy penalties to get them out of jail, The Scotsman decides to highlight an innocuous challenge in our game. Again, this raises the question - is this the work of some partisan Celtic scumbag or are the paper paid to plant these stories?

Can’t see anything... have Celtic managed to erase history on here as well!?

Modern day management - job share.

That roasted actually epitomises their support - “look at the bad man giving Rangers a penalty” whilst their own team benefit from outright dodgy decisions two games in a row.

Just think how many they would have dropped if we had honest referees!?

Just seen Celtic’s penalty. The “Invincibles” don’t half need some dodgy help from the refs. In other ways, I can’t feel sorry for Motherwell as they enabled this situation where the whole of Scottish Football is skewed towards one club.

What were a lot f us saying earlier about giving Peña a chance?

Miller, just shut up.

Yes, but let’s be honest, the pro-Motherwell decisions were not simply for the purpose of Motherwell progressing.

I honestly don’t think Peña has been given a fair shot. Look at his goals to games ratio, and that is in a team crying out for goals. Give him a shot instead of Miller PLEASE!

At least the youths seem to be doing well!

That wasn’t even his worst dive this season. There is absolutely no way that they “compliance officer” will pull them up about it. It is just another amazing decision to add to this season’s refereeing performances. I actually can’t remember a season with so many dodgy decisions and it’s not even half way in.

Well I’m talking rubbish, it isn’t really a shocker, it was to be expected. Did anyone see Sinclair’s (latest) hilarious dive? Big Thompson was obviously ready to give it and send off their player. I heard there were a few dodgy ones missed for Motherwell. Strange that eh?

Haha, check the actual state of this idiot. If you are going to come on another team’s forum, try and at least form cohesive sentences. You are right though, unfortunately the whole of Scottish Football will always be overshadowed by Celtic’s shameful past. There is no amount of posting on another team’s forum that is going to change that. We feel your pain.

I should have added, and even some on here seem to be happy to try and argue that it’s normal and bury their head in the sand.

Care to elaborate on this? Interesting stats.
