So, basically, you condone cheating on behalf of your team and your bigots-in-law?
You really are as thick as you come across in your posts if you really think that’s what I was suggesting.

Amazing with this massive conspiracy you managed to win a quadruple treble, eh?
I really don’t see the relevance, nor did I call it a conspiracy. I called out the lazy “Old Firm” trope and you spat the dummy out because you don’t like it.

This is the delusion we're all up against whenever an OF fan opens their mouth.
So it’s ok to claim that the “Old Firm” have the referees in their favour and not be labelled delusional, but not to claim that one side in particular seemingly gets the bulk of said controversial decisions?
Is criticism of referees only considered paranoia now if it’s coming from the East end?
FWIW I’m not a fan who claims that the world is against us. I think Scottish referees are incredibly incompetent and quite often lack the balls to make the right decision. I just get a laugh out of the hypocrisy of people criticising Celtic fans for one thing and then doing the exact same thing themselves.

Oh do f**k off with your victim pish!
Hardly victim pish. Just calling out the usual lazy bundling of the “Old Firm” together.
The stats show one club are a significant outlier statistically - the reasons for that can be purely coincidental, down to total incompetence and referees crumbling under pressure (most likely imo), or you can read into it further if you wish. If you disagree with that fine, but it doesn’t change the fact that there is a statistically significant difference in these kind of decisions between the two clubs that you love to lump together.

Collum sees about 4 replays of Jack lunging in from miles away, and catching a Saints player both late and at ankle height, and reckons its just a yellow.
Its a decision for the Old Firm though, so we'll just have to meekly accept it apparently.
Try and make it an “Old Firm” issue all you want, but one club would seem to benefit a hell of a lot more than the other do.
There’s certainly a lot of additional pressure on referees, especially at Celtic Park. Morton penalty was a shocker last week but it’s the only blatantly awful decision I can think of going our way this season. The penalty stats show we’re comparable to the rest of the league and we’ve had quite a few stinkers going against us since VAR came in ourselves.
There’s one club that are an obvious outlier here.

Another Questionable ineligible man downfield call while Ward was all over DK.
It's not as if the 49ers need any extra help
It’s amazing how quickly the game changed after the first one.

Why? They’re going to the off-season with a top 5 pick and playoff experience for their rookies, when everyone expected them to be bottom dwellers.
But yeah, hilarious!

This is an advert for summer football. Grim.

That was nice football. Just lacking the finish.

Why is that trans people are always framed in the media as liars, rapists and sex predators, desperate to take advantage of this bill? Is that not grossly offensive (and flat out wrong)?

Is that the angle they use at the top? He looks more onside in that one than the bottom one.
He should never be offside there.It’s difficult to tell because the angle is so ridiculous. Could well be narrowly offside, but I f that’s really what they’re using to make decisions on offsides at Fir Park then it’s a bit of a joke.

Thought Motherwell played well. Would like another look at the Jota goal as the line they drew was on a camera angle from the end of the opposite half. Shambles.
I don’t know on what planet this isn’t a red either.
For all the benefits that VAR brings it’s still the same incompetent bunch in charge.

Honestly don't give a shit anymore. We're going nowhere with Toony in charge.

Hearts penalty was obvious. I don’t understand how it takes nearly 3 minutes to award that, yet less than 10 seconds to wave away a penalty claim that was arguably just as obvious.
For every good decision there will be a baffling one, because ultimately it’s the same incompetent muppets in charge.

Seems Maeda is the scapegoat for Celtic fans at the moment. He’s getting pelters. It just shows how fickle fans are. He was loved when he spent 90 mins running about like a blue arsed fly closing down Tavernier.
Anybody that’s watched the guy play could see he was technically inadequate for the Champions League - I’m not sure why Celtic fans are suddenly surprised tbh.
His confidence is rock bottom. After that ballooned cross last night the head was down. Hoping the manager can inspire some confidence in him as he’s clearly a very useful player in certain situations.
With regards to our performances in the competition, it’s disappointing. I think we’ve played reasonably well, but you need to take your chances at this level. Some of the chances we’ve missed have been unforgivable and I knew we were in trouble after dominating Shakhtar and failing to win.
I also think fitness is still a big issue. Leipzig in particular have looked far fitter and more athletic in the last couple of games.

It really is a joke. Get off the plane, get on a bus to transport you 100 yards, get off the bus, walk up a set of stairs, down another set of stairs, down a long corridor, arrive at a hospital white customs area where 5 people stand around doing absolutely nothing before you enter an already scuffed up and worn looking baggage reclaim.
Even the small Asian airports shit all over it. There’s been absolutely no thought put into layout or design.

It’s even more upsetting when there’s kids involved. Poor souls probably didn’t have a clue what was going on. Can’t stop thinking about it this morning.

I think that a lot of the points in here are pretty fair, particularly around the growing financial gap that has plagued the entire game in the last couple of decades.
What I don’t see are any solutions to that problem or suggestions as to what Celtic should do differently. We obviously aren’t going to stop spending money that we generate, and we’re not talking about a club that spends outwith its means either, so it’s quite difficult in my (admittedly biased) opinion to be overly critical. Contrary to some assertions in here, I enjoyed yesterday’s game and I’m enjoying the attacking style of football that we play every week now. It’s as entertaining as I’ve ever seen it. Dundee United were a shambles in that second half though.
Scottish football needs significant change at the grassroots and youth development level. There simply aren’t enough quality young players coming through. And it needs a total overhaul of the SFA, who have run our game into the ground and undersold it for quite some time. It clearly isn’t as simple as blaming Celtic or Rangers for all the game’s problems.

Think Jota was off but some of the football in that half was out of this world. United have been poor, but just can’t keep up with the passing.

If Boyce wasn’t such a diddy and put a couple of chances away could have been different. Ridiculous dive as well. A real missed opportunity for them

That’s a disgrace of a decision

China's claim is based on neither communism not geography. Taiwan is an integral part of that country, which even the Cold Warrior Americans have recognised for nearly 50 years.
It is the kind of deceitful, backpedaling whenever the West suddenly doesn't like the verbal and/or written commitments it previously made, that is doing so much to set the great conflicts of the 21st century into motion throughout Eurasia.
I’ll say again, Taiwan has NEVER been a part of the People’s Republic of China. It’s essentially the last remnants of the Republic of China. It wasn’t forcibly taken from them and is a democratic nation with its own parliament, currency, laws, military etc.
Why does China get to dictate who should and shouldn’t visit?

Read about the history of Taiwan. It’s never been under communist rule. Any claim is weak and solely based on geography.

No doubt the US would act shocked and say any retaliation was unprovoked.
Why should China have any say in who should and shouldn’t visit Taiwan?
The CCP have never had any influence there or stake to claim.

It absolutely is lazy to involve Celtic in discussions about three awful decisions in a game they weren’t even involved in. It happens going on every game involving controversy and the Old Firm label gets trotted out instead of calling it out for it has been.
I think Celtic do benefit from the crowd at Celtic Park and the pressure on referees.
But the penalty differential for the last 5 seasons is something like +35 to the nearest club at +9. You can debate the reasons for it all day, but that is a significant difference, whether people like it or not.
