His weak defences of every official and decision on FF can be annoying. On topic though, that's a fucking joke. He did his job and helped the ref make the right decision. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,761 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Celtic penalty row linesman on verge of quitting believing SFA are blaming him for Tannadice boob Oct 23 2010 Exclusive by Mark Guidi STEVEN CRAVEN is set to quit as an assistant referee because he feels the SFA have hung him out to dry after last Sundays controversial Tannadice clash. Craven believes he was made the scapegoat for Dougie McDonalds U-turn over awarding Celtic a penalty against Dundee United. After the game it was inferred Craven had instigated the chat with McDonald that led to the penalty not being given. However, its understood McDonald knew immediately he had got the decision wrong and, off his own back, made his way to Craven to ask for his colleagues opinion. SFA ref chief Hugh Dallas has applauded McDonald for changing his mind. But the lack of a detailed explanation has left Craven in the lurch. And Record Sport also understands he was disgusted with the SFA for marking him down in the supervisors report. The fallout from Tannadice has led to a week of turmoil for Craven and his family. He has been the victim of threatening remarks and his two teenage sons have suffered serious verbal abuse. That will lead to him resigning and when he takes charge of a reserve game at Murray Park today it will be his final match. A source close to Craven said: Certain people have been happy to make out the assistant referee asked for the referee to come and see him as he felt he had made a mistake. Thats not correct. Dougie felt hed made a mistake and told Steven this as soon as he approached him. The referee appeared to want it look as though Steven instigated this. Steven did have doubts about the penalty award but did not want to interfere with Dougies decision. It was only when Dougie ran to him that he offered his opinion. Steven has felt for a while he hasnt had enough support from the SFA and this is the final straw. He feels he has been made the fall guy to protect others. Its felt theres been a cover-up. The pressure on refs intensified last night when Celtic boss Neil Lennon insisted they have to stop getting major decisions wrong against Celtic. Rookie whistler Willie Collum will take charge of tomorrows Old Firm derby and Lennon said: We are not putting any extra pressure on him. I just hope he gets the big decisions right. Its a difficult one for him considering the recent history of controversial decisions that have gone against Celtic in these games. Lennon believes Celtic have been getting a raw deal in Old Firm games for the last 18 months. He said: Ill put those mistakes down to human error but you cant keep getting those big decisions wrong. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/2010/10/23/celtic-penalty-row-linesman-on-verge-of-quitting-believing-sfa-are-blaming-him-for-tannadice-boob-86908-22653090/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,679 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 And they continue to get away with their campaign of intimidation on the officials. the SFA should develop a backbone and come out against Lawwell and the scummy approach that everyone associated with their "club" takes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 What Tannadice boob? The only "error" was in not amking the correct decision firs time. Celtic are doing a good job of muddying the waters again and the fact that the correct decision was made is being ignored. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
