As a St Mirren fan im sure you'll recall Goncalves dive winning St Mirren a penalty against Celtic a season or two ago. Just as a posted about about McLean and Madden refereeing Celtic games, I cant mind which one of them it was but I know it was as only they would have given a penalty against Celtic for a clear dive that was outside the box that 90% of the people in the stadium knew that: 1. was a dive and 2. was outside the box
Indeed a bad decision.

I am sure you have a log book of bad decisions made against Celtic to suit the occasion, that one filed under 'St Mirren'.

Whether you bother with a log book about the countless bad decisions made in favour of Celtic, I doubt. Them just be the breaks, eh.

Celtic fans take them the same as anyone else.

You'll find most/all Celtic fans only have a problem with Steven McLean and Bobby Madden, they have lists as long as your arm of woeful/baffling decisions against Celtic - that we know is due to them being Sevco fans as theres no other reason for the mad decisions that they continually come away with.

Does anyone here believe that Steven McLean never seen that handball? or did he see it and go "aw naw this will hand they fenian bastards the treble" literally every other referee in the UK would have gave the penalty and red except him(and probably Bobby Madden).

Infact I bet if you look at numerous Celtic forums or fans twitters, loads of Celtic fans would have been moaning and predicting mistakes from McLean against Celtic before the game - which they wouldnt have done if it was any other ref(again except Madden).

The true mentality comes out. If McLean was such a Rangers man and intent on blowing your treble then why not send Zaluska off and give a penalty at 2-2?

The paranoid being paranoid shocker. A wee diddy team turning you over and gubbing your treble and you throw your toys out of the pram claiming conspiracy and all sorts. Was the referee in the Inter game in on it too?

Probably too scared to deny a blatant penalty for Celtic with no defence of not giving it but then giving two against Celtic, need to have the brass neck of a Hugh Dallas to pull that off.

I thought he was hellbent on destroying your treble? Surely he would just award the penalty? How did he know ICT would score a few minutes later or that they might win a shootout?

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 laugh at all the anti-Celtic posters frothing at the mouth because Celtic have made a complaint about a referee. If any other club complained, nothing would be said.
So when do we get the retrospective ban on Zaluska cleaning out the Inverness player in the box?? Surely the officials couldn't have missed that?? Do we think ICT should be asking why no action was taken??

Your club has a history of seeking clarification (a simple google search would show that). Strangely almost all of these incidents have came when you have just been gubbed ...

Its the refs that are ruining the game by not getting decisions correctly. This goes for all teams, not just Celtic.
Breaking news ... officials being human will make mistakes - some of them will go for you and some will go against you, but they reckon it will even out in the grand scheme of things.

I reckon most opposing fans will argue that Celtic get more than their fair share of decisions ... of course when they don't this is what happens.

Didn't Celtic wrongly get a corner up at Aberdeen when it was a goal kick and they won the game 2-1 from that corner? Can they hand those 2 points back now please?

He must have psychic abilities so it was a case of just biding his time.

The main problem with Steven McLean (also Bobby Madden) are that they are two Sevco Supporters who continually give mental decisions against Celtic.
Ah, its Rangers fault.

Fed up reading about McLean etc now.

Any predictions for Player of the Year?

BBC have picked out the 6 they see as it being between.
Adam Rooney
Craig Gordon
Stefan Johansen
Greg Stewart
Nadir Ciftci
Graeme Shinnie

I think it will be Johansen although Rooney not far behind.

I'm obviously biased but Johansen has been the best player in Scotland by a long way this season for me.

Rooney could certainly get the nod and Shinnie has had a great season as well. Was shocked that this is Stewart's first season as a full time player.

I'm a bit disappointed with tonight.

The riot wasn't nearly as good as the last one, I doubt Hartson will ghost write anything about it at all.

At least two broken advertising boards and several broken seats last night.

Oh, the Humanity!

Chairs will, unfortunately, get broken when people are celebrating goals.

Funny how Dundee Utd and Aberdeen have both also filled the Bob Shankly Stand twice this season and caused no damage when celebrating goals.

Do you condone ripping off advertising boards and throwing them at stewards?

I think it is fair to say that the Celtic away support is a bit rougher round the edges than their supports.

After the GMS goal last night my brother ended up two rows forward of where we had been standing before the goal.

If that happened, and I have no reason to doubt what you are saying, then I hope that people are lifted and prosecuted for it. There is no excuse for vandalism or attempted assault.

Do you think it's reasonable, then, for Celtic FC to cover the extra costs involved with accommodating their "rougher round the edges" support, whether it be additional stewarding, or repairs requiring after celebrating goals.

It was right at the end as people were leaving. Board ripped off, steward appeared to gesture for it to be put down, and had it thrown at them instead.

I think it is reasonable for Celtic to be expected to pay for repairs if damage is done.

As for charging Celtic for extra stewarding costs, no chance. That is already covered by the premium price that you charge us for tickets. It is an extra £4 we pay over other games?

Any footage of it?

I presume someone in the Derry must have got it on their phone and stuck it on youtube?
