Perfectly understandable, most people are reduced to the arithmetic ability of a chimp while in a rangers induced rage.
Get well soon.
Ah well, personal insults show who is raging again but what else should we expect from he and his ilk.Get well soon.
A chimp still has a higher arithmetic ability than the directors of the old club though eh...
So it looks like all Scottish SPL clubs are united in condemning the refs and their VAR teams with Surname Surname taking one for the team and jumping on the grenade

Allied to the report about Scottish refs being susceptible to making mistakes because of fatigue as they are un-fit (not sure how this affects the VAR team and the whiplash effect when certain refs pull out their red cards no matter what time into the match )

The SFA as usual circle the wagons, but will be interesting to see the outcome of Brodger's upcoming disciplinary given what's transpired since

Could there be another DougieDougieGate brewing?........

hopefully northern ireland at hampden on tuesday will be a confidence builder! showed we can compete against better sides, just need to take our chances.
Hmm, It should be a smooth dispatch of a lesser ranked team. But they'll faff and fluster and probably just get away with halting the losing run.I'm not convinced Holland were out of 3rd gear. There was plenty nice stuff from Scotland but go to take the chances, otherwise as Holland demonstrated it'll bite against any team, never mind one of the top ranked.

Here's hoping he's the first of many to go. Bring in English refs, the whole association is unfit (clearly physically and professionally). https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/cr...

Quite the statistic that since Crawford Allan took over as head of referees one team in particular in the league went from 19 red cards over two seasons to zero in two seasons. The same club (I won't say who) went on two runs of 44 and 75 league games without conceding a penalty.
There's an excellent thread on twitter about how much influence referees can have on tight games, centering around Juventus and the Calciopoli match fixing scandal when they were relegated and stripped of titles. Some of the decisions might seem very familiar.

Pretty subtle but clearly undeniable stuff. Would probably be shouted down as moon-howling in Scotland by those who benefit.
Can only imagine the scandal if an Italian ref did something as obvious as drinking in an Inter Milan pub after controversially refereeing an Inter vs AC derby...
better to get the bad performances out the way now, I mean we’re still going to win the euros!
crazy stat I was sent this morning- scotland have won 15 out of the last 21 qualifiers, but only 2 of the last 19 friendlies!
last night was rough though, dreadful performance. don’t know if there were any positives to take away from the game- oh wait, the new hampden ticket app/ system works ok!! apart from that, can’t think of anything else.

Since that win away in Norway Scotland's form has been awful - drifted through the last couple of qualifying games without winning and a terrible run of friendly results. It's almost as if they've stopped trying.
Confidence for the Euros must be very fragile now - I fear it's 1 draw and 2 losses (again).

It’s going to be a massacre in the opening game.
A new generation for the Germans playing a home tournament, play like last night and they’ll put 10 past us.
It's a scary prospect for sure - Germany are starting to get up a head of steam with wins against France and Netherlands this week. A new generation for the Germans playing a home tournament, play like last night and they’ll put 10 past us.
No idea why people take the piss out of Scottish Fitbaw. Cracking Hibs freekick

So Beaton at the st Pit on Sunday and Collum as the 4th official whilst Ally McCoist stirs up sectarianism re the new Hate Law Bill, what could go wrong?
Called it A win would have been just great today. The next game against Rangers is now critical.

TBF I was wrong about the cheeky chappy being in attendance although I did see an actual crime (not of the hate variety) did occur when the Celtic dugout was pelted by coins and John Kennedy was struck in the chestA win would have been just great today. The next game against Rangers is now critical.
