Die schaufeln sich noch ihr eigenes Grab...
Was mich doch etwas amüsiert ist die Tatsache, dass sich die selben Leute, die während der Strachan-Ära jede Woche seitenlang über die ach so korrupten völlig Celtic ergebenen Schiris geheult haben, jede angeblich falsch gegebene Ecke seziert und jede gelbe Karte als klares Indiz für einseitiges Pfeifen zu Gunsten von Celtic hochstilisiert haben, nun zum Anwalt der angeblich ja so unter Druck gesetzten Schiris machen wollen, die völlig zu Recht wegen der völlig haltlosen, aber gleichzeitig auch geradezu Volksverhetzenden Anschuldigungen, die natürlich nur von Celtic kommen, in Schutz genommen werden müssen. Nur mal zur Erinnerung, noch Anfang diesen Jahres hat der Referree Willie Collum (gut, der Name ist seitdem auch etwas in Verruf geraten
) Mordrohungen von Rangers Fans bekommen, weil er im Spiel Celtic gegen St.Mirren einen völlig unzweifelhaften Platzverweis ausgesprochen hatte und gleichzeitig Lehrer an einer katholischen schule war, und das ist ja wirklich kein Einzelfall gewesen. Wo waren da eigentlich die anderen Schiris und insbesondere die Rangers(fans) mit ihren jetzigen Moralorgasmen?
Naja, die Morddrohnungen waren dignified. Davon verstehen Tims eben nix
Das mein ich ja. Das muss man noch nicht mal Fans nehmen, Walter Schmitz ist ja auch keiner der Baldrian im Blut hat, im Gegenteil. Ein weiterer Artikel, allerdings sehr lang
http://www.scotzine.com/2010/11/the-bla ... -football/Ein Auszug daraus:
January 1st 2010: Walter Smith was left seething after referee Willie Collum refused to rescind the red card that he dished out to the striker during Rangers’ 7-1 demolition of United. Smith believes that Collum bottled out of a change of heart and that the whistler’s explanation for sticking to his guns was riddled with inconsistencies.
January 2009: Then Falkirk manager John Hughes criticised referee Willie Collum after his side’s 3-1 defeat at Ibrox, questioning a penalty awarded to Rangers as well as the decision to send off a player from both teams.
September 2009: Walter Smith and Jim Jefferies criticise referee Steve Conroy in a 0-0 draw at Rugby Park between Rangers and Kilmarnock. Conroy dished out 11 yellow cards and sent off Pedro Mendes of Rangers and Killie’s Manuel Pascali, as well as sending Walter Smith to the stand for protesting against Mendes’ dismissal. Smith questioned the referee’s judgement not only regarding the red card but on the game as a whole.
March 2008: Walter Smith sent to the stand following a touch-line bust-up with then Hibs boss Mixu Paatelainen. Smith blew his top when Nacho Novo was sent off for a two footed lunge on Hibs’ Thierry Gathuessi. Although Smith’s anger was directed at the Hibs bench, who he accused of trying to intimidate the official to get his players booked.
May 2009: Walter lashed out at Stuart Dougal after his side were reduced to ten men in their 2-1 win over Aberdeen. Defender Madjid Bougherra was given his marching orders just before half time, after his assistant said that the Algeria deliberately kicked Dons keeper Jamie Langfield in the head after he slid in with his studs high. Smith was incensed with the decision, “It was an incredible ordering off. The linesman has stated to me that the player deliberately kicked the keeper on the head, which I found absolutely incredible when I saw it on TV. For him to make that kind of assumption was incredible.”
November 2008: Walter Smith launched a blistering attack on linesman Tom Murphy after his side drew 0-0 with Motherwell at Fir Park. The official wrongly chalked off a Kris Boyd goal for offside. He singled out Murphy and slaughtered him again after doing so before when he failed to flag Scott McDonald offside when the striker opened the scoring in Celtic’s 3-2 win in April 2008. His comments on that day:
“It was a poor decision by the linesman. I think TV replays show quite clearly that Kris Boyd was onside. Mr Murphy was quick to allow a Scott McDonald goal at Celtic Park last season. And he was quick to disallow that one tonight.”
It was implied in certain circles emanating in and around Ibrox Park thereafter, that Murphy was a Celtic fan, their proof? He has an Irish sounding surname!
Even in Europe Walter Smith has had a few choice words for referees, and yet the Rangers fans seem to think that he is dignified throughout. In September 2009, Smith accused Swedish referee Jonas Eriksson of bottling out of doing his job as his side were demolished by Sevilla at Ibrox. Smith lashed out at Eriksson for failing to award Rangers a stone wall penalty after Sevilla full back Abdoulay Konko brought Steven Naismith down in the box, just as he was about to score.
Smith said, “At Champions League level you would want a better decision from such a clear-cut circumstance. You’d expect better at this level. They have to make strong decisions. That is why they are the best referees.”
Sound familiar? It sounds awfully like Lennon’s comments on hoping the Collum is strong and decisive in his Old Firm debut.
September 2010: Jim Jefferies reported referee Willie Collum to the SPL for speaking to him like a two-year-old kid. Jambo Jim was angered after he claimed that linesman Francis [obviously a Celtic supporter] Andrews had ignored a blatant offside in the run up to James Forrest’s opener. Jefferies asked for an apology from Collum, but was even more enraged at the official’s attitude and launched a formal complaint with the SPL match delegate John Connolly [ He sounds like a Celtic fan also!].
September 2008: Killie keeper Alan Combe blasts Mike McCurry for giving Celtic a penalty claiming that Shunsuke Nakamura dived to win the spot kick, and that the recent revelations in a newspaper about McCurry conducting a Simply the Best sing-song in his church, put him under huge pressure.
August 2008: Charlie Richmond incurring the wrath of Dundee United for refusing a penalty kick against Celtic, when Gary Caldwell brought down Roy O’Donovan at Tannadice. Linesman Billy Baxter at Pittodrie, giving out a faulty offside call against Da Marcus Beasley, which cost Rangers a winning goal against the Dons. Iain Brines failing to see Celtic’s Stephen McManus knock the ball over the line to score against Falkirk, and whose manager then John Hughes, accused the referee of targeting him of previous comments made.
