It’s a conspiracy, it’s conspiracy, it’s a conspiracy ……. lol

Lafferty’s dive when he got the aberdeen player sent off not count now?

Best not let the facts get in the way of a good conspiracy though lol

Now how about them moon landings max?

I can’t see when theragers have suffered from the VRP, so I can’t see where the “target the big two”BS comes from. I guess if you say something often enough……..

As far as I can see, renembering Artur Boruc being punished by photos supplied by the sun, the VRP can only ‘review’ what matchday video editors and sports editors choose to let the public see, and what they choose to replay, how many times, from how many angles, slo-mo, match commentators comments!
As far as I can see the laptop loyalists and their counterparts in TV dictate to the SFA who they want punished and when!!

Sales of tin foil in the east end of Glasgow must be through the roof at present!

The system is poor and needs to be cleared up for all concerned, but spare me the pish that it’s all Anti Celtic and Pro Rangers.

Funny how everything and everyone is against Celtic when their no winning eh?

sfa video evidence hope they try and do Rasmussen.then Celtic fc can go to court over the hole cesspit that is Scottish football. so I think you,ll find this will all go away. The SFA cant afford for the courts to look at there running of the game in Scotland

The system in place is terrible and leaves itself too open to accusations of bias. Whether true or not(And my mind is set up on true) there has to be a massive overhaul with transparency the only thing to be done.

You’re kidding, right? Celtic wrote to the SFA months ago asking for clarification of the rules on referrals to the Review Panel, and are still waiting for a reply.

The SFA is a law unto itself, and the only rule is, do whatever benefits Rangers.

there has to be a three man NEUTRAL panel put in place ‘agreed’ to by all premiership clubs consisting of for example~ 1 retired official..1 retired player & 1 retired manager..who change each season…whoever puts an incident up for revue has to be named by the board and the board has to explain there decision in writing… because apparently at the minute ‘the ref’ can make a decision after revue without explaining in detail why he made/upheld his decision??? silly and strange to say the least…the refs have to be accountable for their actions same as the players on the pitch..

Said it before, this review panel is always used to target the big two. Perhaps it’s due to the intense scrutiny on both clubs in the written media, but I would love to see the facts as to how many times the old firm have fallen fowl to this. I bet it would be more than 75% of all cases.

It has reached levels of the ridiculous with this video review panel. There are too many questions and not enough answers where this is concerned. Let me say Rasmussen should get punished and will but the number of equally bad off the ball incidents which are not looked at or referred are shocking and really make having a panel pointless. Sean Dillion on a yellow card kicked out at Scott Brown behind the refs back in the penalty area and nothing. There are several other incidents I could cite as review worthy as all fans doubtless could.

ON the other side of Glasgow it seems review panels are only used when they can’t get away from it – Lafferty being the one.
When they bang on about the ref having taken action with a yellow – that is the end of it, yet the can rescind a yellow for diving or a red for kicking a player in the head if they want – who reported those incidents or led a campaign to get players off the hook?
And how can all these thingsbe done quickly in some cases and in months in others.
Scott McDonald was hauled in front of a panel when
a. The ref saw a studs first challenge on Wilkie and dealt with the incident – no action
b. Wilkie himself said no malice
Yet it was referred – by whom? We don’t know.
Weir made an identical challenge on McDonald yards away from the referee in the first OF game this season and no panel was called into play. Lafferty’s assaults on Zheng Zhi and McManus were also not considered panel worthy.
Lee McCulloch on an almost weekly basis goes through opponents or elbows them (most notably against Aberdeen in September/Ocotber time) and no censure or video review his assault on the Hearts Goalie in the second game of the season (in the midrift) saw no need for a panel.

With the SFA a heavily pro – Rangers organisation from top to bottom these days what does anyone expect. But of course Celtic fans are all paranoid – with a system like this no wonder.
Highly selective, no clear rules, no transparency – it is not paranoia, it is rather a clear frustration with a system which is not fit for purpose and which on the surface only punishes one club.

The of course you get the nonsense of refs reviewing their own decisions – are they really going to say sorry i got it wrong every time they make an “honest mistake”? It does not benefit them to do so so they won’t.
