I don't see the same points being driven home re: the players and manager costing us the league through their shitty performances, all I see is blame being laid at the feet of someone not connected to Celtic FC. Who's fault is it that we're behind Rangers in the league should they win their games in hand? I wouldn't say it's McCurry's even if he has caused Rangers to win a game that perhaps they wouldn't have if he'd made the right call.

It's clutching at straws.

If you'd rather go on and on about how some guy who's spent years refereeing is some sort of cheat and/or there is a conspiracy then that's your prerogative, but I've read you make the same posts over and over again and what is is getting you? Is Gordon Smith going to read it and think, "Oh, snap. Best get that game replayed so that Celtic have a slim chance of winning the league thanks to someone else slipping up rather than them deserving it." It's not going to happen and of course I'd take the league if we win it when Rangers slip up, but it's happened and there's nothing you, or I can do about it so let's stop going round in frickin' circles, eh?

Exactly.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the threads called "Weekend Football: 10th -> 15th May", which means, usually, the thread will be discussing football from that weekend.
Which is what we are doing, so that's maybe why I am not "driving home" any points about "shitty performances" earlier in the season.
Surely it would be "going round in circles" if I did? I've already been very vocal about what I've thought of some performances by Celtic this year.

The blame of Saturdays result is being left at Mike McCurrys door, as he had the power to do something about it, and in my opinion cheated.
A decision that may effect our season.

What if eh?
What if?

What if Rangers had not had a shite league run over the past few months?
Then they'd be coasting the league and McCurrys decision wouldn't have mattered either.
But, dare I ask, what the fucks yer point?

Rangers ARE close to Celtic, we ARE infront of Rangers and this decision DOES effect our chances or retaining the league title.
That's all fact.

I'm afraid, you're clutching at straws, rather than us boss

McCurry's a proddy minister refereeing a Rangers game, I mean ffs.
This is rangers, "prodestant and proud".

Imagine the outrcy if we had Cardinal O'hara reffing a hoops game and chopping off a perfectly legit goal.

How can it be a fact that if the referee made the correct decisions that Rangers dropped points? Can you see some sort of split into parallel universes every time that a decision is made to see how they play off?

Well in Stewart, I'll accept you ignoring every counter point I made against your post as you admitting my points are correct.

You've done well though, you've managed to pick out the 1 single thing you could have nit-picked in my post, and still, managed to fuck that up.

I never said Dundee United would have made Rangers drop points.
I said, his decision to chop off a goal, deny a penalty, and ignore 2 sending off offences DOES effect our season, and it does - whether that's a few goals (should it come down to goal difference), or whether Dundee Utd would have gained a few valuble points from Rangers.

I'll leave it to everyone else to make up their own mind as to whether his decision to chop off a goal, deny a penalty, and ignore 2 sending off offences would have had an effect on the result of the match.

As you said, how would I know?
