Very little detail has emerged from yesterday’s hearing, it isn’t known if the audio between the two officials was played and the reasoning for one match being suspended.
If we truly believe the referees to be incompetent then we should not be accepting this decision. It should be appealed. The rule that you cannot challenge the competence of officials is perverse and should be changed.
It seems to have escaped them that the decision making of two leading referees contributed greatly to Celtic losing three vital SPFL points with Don Robertson and John Beaton given a free pass for their performances.
I can’t sit in the stand for my own safety, that sums things up in this country. I would have sat in the directors’ box but I was told for my own safety that it wasn’t a good idea.
Imagine the boost Celtic’s title hopes would get it John Beaton and Don Robertson were removed from their rota for the eight remaining matches?
With Rodgers hit with a Notice of Complaint and preparing to defend his reputation the audio conversations between the two match officials is absolutely vital to the hearing.
Between 2000 and 2004 Wyness was CEO of Aberdeen, back in the days of dual contracts, Alex McLeish, Setanta Sports and people buying newspapers, one front page about Thugs and Thieves didn’t stand up to scrutiny.
The drop off on quality between Ange Postecoglou recruitment and the work of Lawwell is frightening, why it took four windows for someone inside Celtic to suggest resignation is just another mystery among many.
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.
