ian1964 10,724 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 ST Pats are leading plans to bring foreign referees to Scotland, according to reports. Whistlers have come under fire this season after a series of high-profile incidents during games. While the SFA's own disciplinary process has also been criticised, with Rangers' Stewart Robertson accusing it of "re-refereeing games". But now ST Pats are calling for referees from other countries - including England, Wales and Ireland - to be drafted in. Premiership clubs have reportedly been given a mandate to draw up a list of demands for next season following a meeting with SFA chiefs yesterday. And the Hoops are apparently keen to play a major role in coming up with the proposals. Parkhead boss Brendan Rodgers has already been critical of the standards of refereeing in Scottish football this season. The Northern Irishman has previously called for our officials to go full-time in an effort to improve. And earlier this month, he urged the SFA to bring in extra referees from outside Scotland. But according to the Daily Record, the SFA are unlikely to back any such proposals for the future of Scottish officiating. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3901469/celtic-plans-foreign-referees-scotland-season/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1550650578 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 917 191 Posted February 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2019 I’m I the only one who thinks this would benefit us? As long as they are full-time professionals, they might actually know the rules & foreign based refs are less likely to be influenced by Scottish media (ie to book or send off Morelos in every game). Considering St Pats have the best disciplinary record & we are cited the most, Rangers have nothing to lose here. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already control the SFA & the recruitment of the compliance officer so it wouldn't come as a shock! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewarty 2,025 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Let them proceed with this bonkers plan. It will only serve to further highlight the hypocrisy that underpins the base assertion that Celtic are hard done by. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
