It has nothing to do with Meekings and everything to do with McLean.
The proof is there there that McLean had a completely uninterrupted view of the incident so questions need to be asked as to how he got it so badly wrong. After the Tannadice lies questions should always be asked. |

Seriously though, what did Celtic ever hope to achieve ? What other answer did they expect other than the officials didn't see it ?
That it was indeed a conspiracy against Celtic ? - naa, couldn't have expected that. That it was a new interpretation for dealing with a player sticking a hand in front of a goal bound effort ? Naa, couldn't have expected that. It was basically to no purpose really apart from appeasing a lot of their fans, Celtic FC demands answers. And by such a highlight on the reply that the officials didn't see it then probably the cause of the SFA's retrospective attempt to ban Meekings. Pretty shabby by Celtic. |

Most don't write high and mighty letters to the football authorities demanding answers and making it very public ( mainly for their poor 'cheated' supporters )

Celtic are obviously saying to any official in Scotland - make a mistake or don't spot something that hurts us then your name will be mud ... essentially they are putting pressure on officials to give them every decision going.
"Hmm, it's not absolutely clear cut here, am I sure ? I could do without the hastle ..." Basically implying officials are corrupt against Celtic ( and that IS what they are doing ) just helps the mob get loose, and that is hastle. |

You are wanting another strike then? Will that bring your treble back?

This is the only time this season Celtic have complained about a decision. The mistake on Sunday was a blatant handball. Everyone knows it was. Both referees should have seen it. If it was unsighted or harder to see, the club wouldn't have complained.
Glasgow Celtic, ashamed by nothing, Ofended by Everything! |

Let them go on strike. Last time it happened, we got better refs from abroad.
Clubs in the lower leagues, whose fault it wasn't, had their games postponed. |

This is absolutely disgusting, nothing but sour grapes, trying to put a stop on what will be the lads biggest game of his career, all because they lost!!

Its the refs that are ruining the game by not getting decisions correctly. This goes for all teams, not just Celtic.

Actually he wouldn't have played in the final if the correct decision had been made. He can hardly complain about it. Are you saying that Celtic don't have a right to be aggrieved? You wouldn't be saying that if that was your team.

I wouldn't care a jolt if Rangers complained about a referee. It would be within their rights to do so, just like any other club does.

Maybe it was the wrong decision but unfortunately mistakes get made. Something's go in your favour and some don't. A little like Celtic getting a second chance in the Champions league after being well beaten because your opponents fielded an illegible player near the end of the game which would have had no bearing on the result. It all sounds a bit whiney arse tbh. |

I'm not a Celtic fan, I'm English but I think Celtic are acting smalltime here.

The main problem with Steven McLean (also Bobby Madden) are that they are two Sevco Supporters who continually give mental decisions against Celtic.
See McLeans sending off of Majstorovic or Madden's penalty awarded to Dundee Utd from a Matthews tackle - two of the most baffling decisions i've ever seen, where clean tackles were won without a glimmer of any kind of foul even opposition fans/players/managers never batted an eyelid and then couldnt believe it. McLean especially in only about 10 Celtic matches he's refereed has a list of about 7/8 penalty denials, wrong sendings off, clear hand balls missed that nobody else would have managed - if he's not biased then he shouldn't be refereeing Primary School games. |

I think you'll find that loads of folk with no agenda against Celtic think their actions here very poor and have expressed that view quire widely. That includes myself, a St Mirren fan, but as Frankie has detected before much preferring Celtic to Rangers. I would certainly say just the same if it had been Rangers, though for all their many faults that club itself has generally seemed better losers even in their much more normal and sucessful days. |
