With Crawford Allan limiting himself to one staged interview a year and SFA Chief Ian Maxwell in a near permanent state of hiding the standard of refereeing and accountability is at an all-time low.
Steven McLean doesn’t seem to be overly concerned by the contact, his assistant is very close to it and doesn’t flag but at 14 seconds in the video clip something changes- Goldson alters direction to charge at the referee who starts fumbling around for cards.
That was much more like what we would expect from him in the game, more direct, more running and aggression, so that was nice.
Fingers crossed again we can get to the bottom of that and he’ll be available after the international break.
Cameron Carter-Vickers has been having his injuries managed through this season.
The defender was missing from the Celtic side that beat Livingston 4-2 today- the fifth time this season that he has been out through injury.
Away to Dundee on December 26 he had to come…
It’s disappointing. The refs have a hard job, but I think it was nearly a leg-breaker so he caught me quite high.
I don’t know if anything can be done but I can’t miss the semi final on that. It’s a clear foul but I can’t say anything that might get me in trouble. It has taken the shine off the game for me a little bit, but what can I do?
I see the Connor Goldson’s straight leg on the Livingston defender and it’s a goal. So, I see that, and I see nothing gets done.
The list is endless but with a concentration last week against Hearts Rodgers called things out while remaining diplomatic about the judgement of the VAR official from the Crown Bar in Bellshill. Many Celtic fans have far stronger comments on Beaton.
We had a report back to say that the studs and boots were in the face of the player, which clearly a couple of days later – even when we get that report – it’s clearly not the case when you watch it.
