Once again Celtic have seized the initiative and now control the narrative in the press.  Despite evidence that their fans were racially abusing Morelos, they've now managed to get Sky to make a public apology which then implies it didn't happen.  At the same time Griffiths is in the press saying that these silly charges are ruining football.  This is from the man who stamped on a player and didn't actually get a charge for it.  The brass neck of that organisation is incredible, but it's working.  We can say what we want about how they go about their business.  It may be despicable, underhand and bordering on corrupt, but they're getting away with it.  It is making a big difference to the points in this championship and yet still our club remains silent.

 

I am beyond sick and tired of the refereeing performances.  I think we all are.  I always defended the club's approach of a combination of dignified silence and behind closed doors challenges.  ITS NOT WORKING!  In fact, the referees are now not only above reproach but they now appear to be flaunting it.  Some of the treatment of our players is disgusting and yet there's nothing we seem willing to do about it.  These last few games have pushed a patient man to the point of despair.  Openly criticising referees and challenging this in the press cannot do us any more harm than we are already experiencing, so I wish we'd start it now.  This board really is not performing and I'm sick of it.  It seems we have madmen in charge, afterall they do say that madness is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result.  Nothing is changing for the better, in fact I think it's getting much worse.

Agreed. However be careful as continually raising refs cheating and the clubs continued ''dignified silence'' apparently it becomes boring for some, yawn!. ?

Oh dear! sense of humour by pass here, did you not see the wee happy face??

It'd be good to know that the club are working on this behind the scenes but if they are, it's having no positive impact.

 

I feel highlighting the more ridiculous decisions publicly would be worthwhile (the Morelos vs Hulk Hogan match last night would be a good example).

I don't know what "behind the scenes" even means. I've seen that alluded to several times but there's really only dealing with it or not dealing with it. I couldn't give a shit about how they go about it, only whether or not they achieve results and right now it's beyond obvious that those running the club are achieving the square root of fuck all. The rest is just piss and wind.

Wow, may be this excessive ban will prompt the club to come out swinging - well, one can hope......

 

I expect more dignified silence 

[Bill 13,717]

The club won't do a damn thing. Cowards.

[Gonzo79 15,294]

The club have issued a statement saying they might issue another statement after the weekend.

 

I won't hold my breath for anything worthwhile...
