I think it's very naive to believe that complaining about the referees will change anything.
We've done it these past few seasons more than once to no avail.
He said yesterday that he didn't agree with the two penalty's, wondered what he was talking about. He said Livi shouldn't have had a penalty and his own team should have had one for a hand ball, strangely he suffered from loss of memory as he forgot to mention the other penalty Livi didn't get for a hand ball,normal service as usual.I can't help think about popcorn teeth if those decisions had gone against Celtic. He'd have been ranting and raving. The officials would have been hung out to dry. Our manager again meekly accepts the decisions and says nothing. He's learned nothing since he's been here.
This starts and ends with Robertson thieving a wage as a CEO.
There's plenty of ill judged strategies around the League being called or Shifty McGifty at the SPFL, but there's no belief or inner strength to go for it and we always back down.
We need to find a proper fighter and strategist to lead the club and not a jobber that's better suited at Motherwell.

Show me? wheres the link
Don't think we can blame the referee, Livi missed a sitter in injury time and the referee could have gave them a penalty for another hand ball,that's why Lennon is fuming. Difference when they play is they play to the final whistle and even if they were 4-0 up they would still be going for more.i noticed they had a ref who they have had a few times, basically a championship ref but with past results for celtic will pass the SFA test and likely see more off. We just get the same few over and over again.
Gerrard has questioned referees more than once in post match interviews. The Killie handball last season, various comments defending Morelos, among others.
We led the charge for VAR. We basically eviscerated refereeing standards in a statement last season and it made things worse.
I'd love to be wrong, but I see no evidence for the sort of approach being advocated actually working for us. I think it needs something different.
I actually like Robertson it’s the PR guy that needs to step up big time.Don't think I'll trust anyone within the current set up at Ibrox ever again.
They may have saved the club etc but they are shallow weak bastards who when the going get tough hide behind an old shield of dignified silence.
Failure to take the SPFL to task further was the final straw for me amongst other recent events.
The least said about Stewart Robertson the better he's been stealing a wage since day 1.

You want our manager to behave like Lennon? Christ...
Our social media should be setting the agenda - highlighting decisions, asking questions and showing comparisons, for example Jack/Edwards tackle, Alfie at Kilmarnock goal/Hibs goal today.
Maybe quote refereeing statistics and penalties given.
Create the news.

Unless like RTV he’s had his wings clipped.
I've said this umpteen times we should have one of our guys ask these types of questions at the press conferences we hold.he may not want a fine but surely there are means within our own pr team that the likes of Sky can pick up on.
RTV 5 minutes after the game.
RTV: Are you happy with refs performance?
SG: I would rather not say as I have bills to pay.
RTV: Was their second goal offside?
SG. I will leave that for you to decide at home, the officials say no.
load the gun!
Its getting embarrassing now, before the day is out Broxi Bear will be blamedFu ck sake picking on David Graham now. Why don’t you f uck off to bed and get some sleep.
Every time Rangers drop points we are looking for someone to pick on and it’s getting tiresome.

Where the %^*& is this guy?As for the new PR guy it was hailed as a magnificent appointment so where has he been since his early weeks in the role absolutely fucking nowhere to be seen infact same for for Douglas Park and rest of our board.
The dreaded dignified silence days are back it's like a repeat of the late Murray era.
If there's anyone who thinks that SG (if and when he eventually gets to become Liverpool manager) will be as quiet and agreeable with every clearly obvious decision against his players -- well, they'll be a rare breed.
Liverpool fans wouldn't allow it.
The Liverpool BOARD wouldn't allow it !
What's happening with us is down to our Board.
Unlike every other footbal club in the world, they have accepted whatever bias and officiating corruption that has gone against us for years now.
We keep harking back to the three possible reasons for this --
Are they ...
1) Incompetent and unable to deal with the situation ?
Seems unlikely, since other clubs have shown the way it can be "dealt with".
2) Uncaring and effectively happy about what is going on ?
Possible I suppose, although not really the option I'd want it to be.
3) Unable to act because something is being held over them/ the Club ?
Again, possible, although it's difficult to figure out what it could be ?
None of these above answers are desirable.
Even if it was Option #3, you'd be hoping that there would be some sort of "non-Club" organised PR line sorted.
Honestly, I'm sick to death of how this is all going.
Are we to be the only football club in the world that can't stand up for itself and its players ?
Just WHAT is going on ????
Well done Harrogate Bluenose for your common sense.
The irony is that Gerrard will be out on his arse as a result of this corruption.
Maybe he will mention it in one day his obligatory book. There again maybe not.
And we would deserve it. We allow everyone and anyone to go at us and say nothing. To the point where offsides are debated when they are clear as day.I said if after the Dundee United game at Ibrox we should’ve called out Clancy and how we are being referee’d and decisions going against us.
It is never too late but we’ll just look like sore losers If we come out with anything now and that’s how the media would spin it.
do you think the club should be doing more like me to help him?
Its like when the witch hunt was going on with Alfie. Our club did little. SG was on his own.
Are you suggesting that SG should not speak up?
The Lurgan bigot does it without fear of his superiors.
I hate the bastard but he does what our manager should be doing.
What has SG got to lose? Fvck all. He’ll be out on his arse one day and it will be down to the scum who are cheating him and our team every week. Yes every week!
SG is great at team talks but lacks balls when he is ripped in front of his very eyes.

Of course it could be improved but it wasn’t thier fault why we didn’t win the gameAre you happy with our media and Pr, would love to hear where you stand and why?
It needs to be direct, aggressive and after every game. No point in the odd statement after a game that we’ve won.
Cut and paste those replies for every fcuking game.he may not want a fine but surely there are means within our own pr team that the likes of Sky can pick up on.

Although I don't think you can blame David Graham- I do however think we should be taking up the social media side of things with the dodgy decisionsFu ck sake picking on David Graham now. Why don’t you f uck off to bed and get some sleep.

Yes we have tout these cheating b's but as far as I am concerned do it via a channel which will not allow the mhedia to have a field day with the garish headlines.
We are doing things properly now with having no "leaks" so do we know that things are not being pursued by our board?.
Must have talked the talk to land himself the job.
But has been fairly quiet in his role ever since picking up the paychecks.
Rangers (club, players, fans) have been on the receiving end of bad PR for years, and still are, so I expected him to come in and firefight every day.
Maybe that isn't the best approach but at least we would know he is doing something.
P.S. Would fucking love to see Hoggy in that role. No nonsense. No backing down.
He only does what the board tell him mate he is an employee nothing more . He can,t put anything out without the boards approval .He should be payed off, if were not going to say anything about the corruption here then we dont need him or any one in this job.
One thing I can confirm is that he is pretty much firefighting every day. The amount of media sh*te he has to deal with surprised me.
There's only so far that can go, of course. No one could change the "Rangers bad, Celtic good" narrative.
