The SFA bow to Celtic's paranoid ranting and have offered Josh Meekings a one match suspension. An offer he has, quite rightly, refused.
Citing a player for handball is farcical and sets a dangerous precedent. |

Well with Scotland's top club, Celtic, taking the decision to embarrass themselves publicly by writing to the SFA crying about a penalty they weren't awarded against Inverness, you can see there are problems. I interviewed goal hero Raven and he seemed upset by Celtic's actions: 'For a club that size to write to the SFA is a bit much, it's definitely taken the gloss off it a little bit for me. I'm surprised a club like Celtic have done that – it's a bit of an error of judgment for me. I don't know what they're hoping to get out of it,' he told me. Well done Celtic, your extreme arrogance managed to spoil the highlight of an honest pro's career. You should be ashamed of themselves.

Meetings admitted after the game he did hand ball it, but the SFA are therefore claiming two referees didn't see it happen right in front of them.
The biggest game of the lads life and he's getting it taken away from him as some can't accept defeat. It's pathetic and embarassing |

Getting banned for accidental handball is the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard. ICT rightly appealing.

it's a damned if you do damned if you don't scenario really, and what if it was the other way around?
we're in a middle mix up situation with retroactive punishments, and AGAIN we are faced with something that could have been fixed and done with with video replays! it WAS handball it WAS a penalty it WAS a red card offence we CANNOT have it both ways |

unreal, let it go Celtic, do u realise the amount of decisions that go your way every season? If every team in the league followed suit there would be at least 3000 admin jobs created at the SFA to deal with such requests.
Laughable like our Football Association |

From Garry Harkins twitter,
@jonnyhayes7 you fouled me in Pittodrie in January! I've just finished my letter! Expect your 1 game ban mate! -- Even other teams players are mocking the SFA. |

Celtic's issue isn't with Meekings, it is with McLean. The SFA are only doing this to cover up their incompetent referee.
If the SFA are looking to punish Meekings then they should also be punishing McLean as well. |

Astonishing. I have bever heard of anything other than violent conduct or very occasionally mistaken identity being retrospectively punished.
I guess you could vaguely argue similar in that he would have been off if the officials had seen it ( and how they didn't, particularly McLean himself who had an unobstructed view, remains very peculiar ). But it somehow doesn't sit right at all and I've never heard of such a thing. Shit happens, where do you stop at retrospectively correcting things. Of course if the dinosaur football authorities would allow video technology for the big goal and penalty issues they would avoid many howlers. 4th official with monitor - sort a lot ! ( clearly not everything, but some is still better ). Anyway good stuff, SFA, why let the SPFL and they're 'what's the problem with playing Hearts vs Rangers a day later?' get all the publicity. |

If McLean makes such poor decisions he shouldn't be refereeing these games. |

It used to be that the referee's decision was final. Retrospective punishments were then introduced for violence conduct and serious foul play ("leg breaking" challenges etc.). It was recently extended to diving. That's where it should end, otherwise we're on a slippery slope towards every decision being scrutinised. |

Celtic havent complained about Meekings. Its about the referees performance. If the shoe was on the other foot, your club would complain if it happened.

You can't take it because Celtic want an answer. |
