ian1964 10,831 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Former Fifa referee Iain Brines will take charge of his first-ever Old Firm showdown at Parkhead on Sunday. His assistants for this Clydesdale Bank SPL showdown between Celtic and Rangers will be James Bee and Graham Chambers, with Mike Tumilty the fourth official. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,843 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Possibly one of the worst refs in Scotland but that's not saying much as they're all pretty poor... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'll now be checking the odds for a penalty or 2 to the scum and at least once sending off for us 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 No matter what ref was selected for Sundays game someone would be unhappy. As Frankie said, the majority of refs, if not all, are horrendous. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1ndy 0 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 have you noticed the conspiracy theory�s of the refs have stopped since Celtic are on top of the league and winning? after all the abuse the refs have took no ref will have an easy job at parkhead especially on Sunday i think brines is the worst ref in Scotland and as Frankie said not a lot to choose from 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was adamant that Naismith dived for the penalty and that Forster shouldn't have been sent off. There's just no pleasing them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,843 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Lennon was moaning the day after the game about Naismith not being sent off earlier, Brown being booked and Whittaker not being booked so as soon as they don't win another game, I'm sure the theories will be out in force again... Unfortunately, their intimidation has arguably already worked when you examine some of their games (and ours) since their outburst. Seems the SFA are incapable of punishing Celtic for it as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1ndy 0 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 they should have thrown the book at celtic but they are a gutless lot. they do seem to be getting alot of decisions going for them in the last few months. if we get a penalty or win this sunday im pretty sure there will be riots in the stand and dugout as it the celtic way, such bad losers what has also happened to lemon 6 match ban? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 what has also happened to lemon 6 match ban? He appealed so the SFA decided to appeal the appeal and then Lennon didn't like that so he appealed the SFAs appeal who had appealed Lennons original ban. I think. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,843 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The appeal hearing has been cancelled because Celtic's lawyer can't make the dates they set. Eepect it to be heard in the close-season or if Celtic have a healthy lead - not before. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
