buster. 5,199 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) Good, thought it was between yellow and red, so yellow was the correct card to show. After the upgrade to red, pleasantly surprised the red was overturned. Celtic statement trying to develop media headlines to cover the lack of a statement on another more important issue.

der Berliner 3,747 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Quote Rangers defender Jon Flanagan has been cleared of further punishment after elbowing Celtic captain Scott Brown in Sunday's Old Firm derby. Flanagan, 26, was booked after the incident in the Ibrox side's 2-0 win but was charged after a three-man panel decided it was a red-card offence. Rangers said they would "vigorously defend" Flanagan and, at a hearing on Thursday, the case was dismissed. Going by the procedure, the CO looked at incidents and in her football wisdom decided there was a case to answer. She got her three referees at it and they made the unanimous decision (else it would not get to the 'offering of a ban') that it was a red-card offence ... despite being seen and evaluated by the referee (and thus being a case for a side-paragraph rather than the usual ruling on such matters. Then they had a hearing with Flanagan and our representatives and independent people from somehwere decided that the appeal was dismissed? So the CO and three referees were wrong and the Clancy was correct. I really would like to know how this whole actually goes on and who sits and sat on the various panels looking at the incidents. Kent gets done for a shove on Brown that didn't really happen but looked brutal from one angle, fist clenched et al. Simonivic floors Oli Shaw and is not even yellow carded, elbows Arfield and Defoe, yet there is nothing. Brown brings the game into disrepute twice at the OF games behaving like an idiot in front of the opposition support, has at least two attempts at simulation as has Burke in the Oli-Shaw Game vs Hibs. It is absolutely bizarre how case are picked, analyzed and decided ... and anyone thinking that there is impartiality involved in a small football country like Scotland needs their heads examined. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 5,199 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Being overturned is a double win. We have the player available for the first game of next season (not bothered about tomorrow) and It'll help generate more headlines that will only go towards ensuring that the process is changed. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to bin it imo. The only reason we have this process is because Celtic always felt cheated. Let the refs referee and get them in from other leagues to improve the standard. Celtic are very quiet about Simunovic given their quest for sporting integrity. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, it's something else that they are very quiet on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I think it’s pretty clear the whole “Compliance” system has no discernible basis for compliance at all. Instead, almost everything I’ve seen suggests it’s a licence for subjectivity and unaccountability, issuing arbitrary judgements with only a cursory connection to the laws of football. What the SFA has done is provide a platform for suspicion and cheating. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The national union of compliant officers should vote for strike action. Claire White should break the picket line because Peter told her to do so, and then we can all legitimately refer to her as, 'the Scab'.
