HOODLUM65 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Was going say earlier in the week that Celtic were guaranteed a penalty with Thomson refereeing . Knowing that the bookies love a bet, wonder what odds were on Thomson awarding a penalty to Celtic. While the defender no doubt touched the arm of the forward, replays indicate the forward was not pulled back. Simulation at it's best. Dodgy last week, dodgy this week. How long must this moron officiate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristo Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I have to agree, a showpiece game ruined by a big "I am" I was watching the game off and on, didn't have the volume on and it was a very small screen, but the only decision there was a yellow for over reaction by Sinclair. I thought We'll looked well up for it, but were obviously knackered as the game wore on, after the sending off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

south inch Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Whilst I agree the penalty decision was ridiculous I think its origins were in the first half when Thomson missed the crude foul on Dembele by the same Motherwell player. His over the top tackle caught Dembele's leg with a full house of studs. The commentary team all thought it was a straight red. Thomson either sees this or is told about it whilst enjoying his half time cuppa and is then looking for a chance to send the guy off in the second half to even things up.

If that was the case then that would be more reason for him to be punished. sixties saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south inch Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 If that was the case then that would be more reason for him to be punished. Agreed but there is no way it could be proved. Could even be a sub conscious act on Thomson's part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstand Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 That was a ridiculous penalty against Well & he compounded it by sending the player off instead of booking Sinclair. Doubt Sinclair within be cited. A ridiculous decision cause you have seen it slowed down and reviewed form about 6 different angles. On first viewing thought it was a penalty. That was all Thomson had to go by and from the delay in pointing tpo the spot I think he was also told it was a pen by his linesman as well. Did it make a difference to the scoreline probably not as Motherwell were out to hold celtic form the start instead of treating it like a cup final and have a wee go. If anyone ruined it as a spectacle it was Robinson. No sympathy for well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomson was 6 yards away & as usual was swayed by the fans. No one can say if effected the result but the game is easier with a 2 goal lead.

Dave H Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 What is the rule about being sent off if a penalty was awarded. It's a unfair double punishment ruling that I thought had been changed. Eg only yellow card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McQueen Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Only if you attempt play the ball, a shirt tug etc is still a red. Dave H 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the mad referee Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Having seen the footage of the incident in question I am going to say this, Never a Red card and never A PK. If anything a caution for Sinclair for Simulation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree it was a crude challenge but doubt if it was anything other than accidental and deserved a yellow at least. However, Dembeles similar tackle was totally premeditated and should have been a red card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garydavidson Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Fingers should be pointing at Sinclair rather than Thomson. If he doesn't give the one to Motherwell he surely can't give the one to Celtic both seemed to have the same amount of 'contact'. He can't really escape his decisions on this one.

Papa Jack Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Fingers should be pointing at Sinclair rather than Thomson. Exactly this....Sinclair (and loads of other players in every game) cheat and all we do is moan about the referee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glensheesaint Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Sinclair seemed quite proud and entitled to a penalty because 'he felt a tug and went down'. He is only one in a long line of players who now feel they can collapse from the slightest touch. The coaches in many cases call them clever or streetwise or similarly try to justify their actions. Seems likely players are coached to go down. Fans must club together and get FIFA, SFA, Referees and clubs to get this blatant cheating purged from our SPORT before things get even more ridiculous and we all get sickened. south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HALLS ANGEL Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 It makes me wonder why we waste money paying £20 plus to see matches that are decided by the referees and not the two teams that are playing. The standard of refereeing in Scotland is absolutely shocking and as often not you leave feeling cheated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristo Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Utter disgrace of a penalty award yet again, McGregor should be ashamed of himself. Two Celtic players take a dive in the box in the space of a few days, and two of our top refs are fooled in to giving penalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south inch Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Not so sure if McGregor actually dived but two points 1. He was off the pitch and comes back on right in front of the 'Well player who would have been unsighted. Can you do that? 2. Collum was no more than 8 or 9 feet away with a clear sight of the incident (no player in front of him). In my opinion Collum has no excuse unlike Thomson who did not have an unrestricted view.

PanamaSaint Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I like our cup final referee. He had a big smile when we scored our second. Well he was booking Macca at the time but it was a big smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
