ian1964 10,625 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 JUST how many managers will it take to attack the crazy Scottish Football Association system which gives a lawyer the power to overrule referees, before the Hampden powerbrokers realise the error of their ways? Most managers think the whole set up is a joke and want to know just what Peter Lawwellâ??s pal, Stewart Regan, believes are the special qualities Vincent Lunny has which makes him know more about football than a FIFA referee? But there are just as many of those bosses who do not believe Reganâ??s SFA will do a thing to sort it out until Lunny crosses Celtic. If that ever happens! For with the season in its second half there has been no refereeing confrontation with Celtic. Funny that! Especially since last season Celtic were habitual Monday morning moaners about refs. Therefore, either refs have stopped making mistakes which see Celtic on the wrong end of their decisions, or Celtic have suddenly become the best behaved team in Scotland. By a mile. For years successive Celtic managers breathed fire about refereeing decisions going against them and fought a running battle with the authorities, who held their ground and refused to be brow beaten or intimidated by either threats or other intemperate language. However, since the arrival of Stewart Regan as chief executive of the SFA and him laying down the welcome met for Lawwell to join him at the boardroom table, all has been sweetness and light between Celtic and the SFA. Funny that. As I said, either refs have stopped making mistakes â?? but only those which would punish Celtic â?? or Celtic have become regular little choir bhoys. The only other alternative is that referees are running scared of becoming involved in a showdown with Reganâ??s pal, Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell, who is the most powerful of powerbrokers at the heart of Reganâ??s SFA, because they know they canâ??t win and are fearful for their careers. And that is too terrible a scenario to be given serious consideration for the future integrity of Scottish football. The truth is the whole new disciplinary set up is a mess. Or, if you like, a muddle. No surprise there then as it came in the wake of the blueprint for footballâ??s future drawn up for the SFA by Henry â??itâ??s a muddle not a fiddleâ? McLeish. Sooner or later though, perhaps even subconsciously because of pressure he may feel under from the boardroom of Regan and Lawwellâ??s SFA, a referee will make a decision against a team which is playing against Celtic which is blatantly wrong, but proves to be crucial . Perhaps it will even come in an Old Firm, game. When that happens it will be interesting to see if Regan and lawyer Lunny are twisting in he wind. And to discover which way the storm will leave them facing. http://leggoland2.blogspot.com/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Think Leggos a wee bit behind the times here Refs are already making bad decisions to favour Celtic and its not subconsciously, it's so they and their family don't have to go through the death threats and damage to their property. Only in this fhucked up country would a football Association let them away with it. In fact not only let them away with it but invite the head of said scumbags to a place on the board and ask him to write the new rules. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
