Today demonstrates exactly how the SPL operates. There is no change from last season.
We were made fools of yet again, Rangers getting it tight against Caley, despite big Terry Butcher having done his best not to prepare his team when up pops the referee with not one penalty but two.
Now this is a young referee who wants to go places, so he has given Rangers 5 penalties in 3 games. Hugh and Dougie advised him well.
At Celtic Park same old, same old Craig Thompson, deliberate kicks and trips with usually no punishment. Utd Manager should be thoroughly ashamed of himself, Houston is part of the Scottish Management team and he saw Scot Brown injuring his ankle in a mid week international. Every Dundee Utd player that came near Brown went for his ankle, kick after kick and did Craig Thompson give him protection, well he might have booked a player on his third kick, I suppose that is protection for a Celtic player. Did the Dundee Utd Manager ask his players not to kick his International player in the second half, not exactly Brown got worse treatment.
What about the kick at Hooper, that has put him out for God knows how long, it was so late it was unbelievable and inside the area. Penalty! don't be daft Craig Thompson you must be joking.
What DID Mr Regan mean when he asked Celtic to give him time it would be all sorted out by this season. We need to get rid of this shower of referees as all they want to do is reward them and punish us.
