The SFA has finally abolished the system whereby complaints against dubious refereeing performances are adjudged by the same team of former referees who appointed them. I have no doubt this was a direct request of Celtic, who have complained about this system before.


The Scottish FA's chief executive, Stewart Regan, is to abolish the governing body's existing refereeing committee in a direct response to the controversy involving the match official Dougie McDonald.

The chief executive has held talks with Celtic following the affair involving McDonald during their match against Dundee United.


Regan is the first in his position to threaten the existence of a committee structure dating back more than 100 years. If and when the referees' set-up is changed, the chief executive is likely to seek further upgrading of what is an archaic SFA regime.


Regan added: "It is essential for the image of Scottish football and for its future prosperity that we can establish a new model and a new relationship that will allow us to promote the best aspects of the national game."


"Referees will be written to and reminded of their responsibilities in managing the game and providing accurate information at all times on and off the pitch. We cannot have football without referees but we must also be able to trust them and rely on them for honesty at all times."

You must be overdosing on the fairness tablets at the moment then sean. This guy has 'issues'.



is this the line that is at issue? If he meant all of the support then yeah it's out of order but if he means a section of the support, then as long as he acknowledges similar exist at Rangers, then as a republican Celtic supporter myself, I don't see he is wrong


clarity SCBS?

Correct Saen.


I am not going to be stupid enough to say there are no bad apples amongst the Rangers support. There are plenty.

I apologise if anyone thought I was labeling the entire Celtic support as republican filth, I wasn't.... gosh, dare I say it I even have a few Celtic supporting mates, who aren't all that bad!! I was trying to show "top to bottom"... the top being Desmond and Lawell and the bottom being those as stated.

It quite simply isn't sectarianism, there are many republican supporters, who sing songs that have no place in football, and in my mind, they are reptiles.

I am fully within my rights to voice my opinion, as is anyone on here.

Your right MM, I do have issues. I have issues with people who openly voice their support for terrorist groups and sing songs about murdering British soldiers. I'd hope anyone would have issues with this.

Anyway, it's an argument that no one will ever be able to win.


So back to football.

In fact - the SFA have decided to change the system in respose to this issue Keef. So there must be some concern. It took an independent Englishman to join the SFA to make changes for the better. I respect the SFA being forward thinking enough to appoint an Englishman to this role to get an independent view.


A letter is being sent to all Scottish referees outlining the need for honesty on and off the park. That does not happen when it is considered to be a one referee problem.

James, there was a Chelsea supperter on here, who still posts on the forum (Lozzyloz), but think he decided to give this thread a miss because he was on his own. Think you should wade in, we need some fresh blood. It's all Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham and City on here, with a little bit of Millwall, Leeds, and Celtic thrown in.

I quite agree, but I wouldn't have thought that all the bad decisions went against Celtic. That is what I was agreeing with, you're coming across as a bit paranoid.

I refuse to denigrate the Rangers support in the way you have denigrated the Celtic support, or aspects thereof. I my opinion you have been racist or sectarian or both. You have been given the right to defend indefensible comments and I think this is wrong.


So back to football.

Noone said all the bad decisions went against Celtic.


The club has taken the decision to address this. Many people say the club is being paranoid. But the SFA have taken action. So read into that what you will.

Sheffield United, Southampton and Ipswich too....not seen any of them on here for a while...but now a bleedin' Chelski fan. Up until now dislike of Chelsea was our only common ground on this thread. :X

My god I thought this was a football forum, what is going on?


Anyway, thought Stevie G was immense last night. Apart from Torres and Reina, it must be soul destroying for him to be playing week in week out with players so inferior to him. WEll done done Stevie, time for move maybe?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
