Some good comments on there also...
The role of Compliance Officer goes beyond FIFA's Laws of The Game, which state that a referee's decision is final. Ms Whyte has decided to pick and choose to re-referee certain games after they have concluded, apparently using BBC Sportscene as a point of reference. BBC Scotland has clearly shown an anti-Rangers FC bias for a long period of time and Ms Whyte has followed onto this, by holding Rangers FC players to a different standard to others and continuing this bias. Two incidents at the weekend highlight the anti-Rangers FC bias shown by both BBC Sportscene and Ms Whyte: BBC Sportscene discussed and showed repeated replays of an alleged off the ball elbow on an opponent by Rangers FC player Jon Flanagan, which occurred whilst the ball was out of play and was both seen and dealt with by the referee, who decided that a yellow card was sufficient punishment. Celtic FC player Jozo Simunovic also allegedly elbowed an opponent in the 27th minute which was not subject of any discussion by BBC Sportscene, did not get replayed and has been completely ignored by Ms Whyte. I find this both surprising and concerning, as it occurred whilst the ball was in play, spoiled a promising attack, clearly endangered an opponent and was apparently missed by match officials, so perfectly fits the criteria of the sort of incident that the role of Compliance Officer was created to deal with. One then has to ask why Ms Whyte has chosen to refer the alleged elbow by Rangers FC player Flanagan, but not to refer the alleged elbow by Celtic FC player Simunovic. There would appear to be only 4 options: 1. She has a clear bias against Rangers FC, 2. She has a clear bias in favour of Celtic FC, 3. She is incompetent and not fit for purpose, 4. She is dictated to by what is shown by BBC Sportscene, or more likely all 4 of the afore mentioned choices. For the good of the game, this cannot be allowed to continue. Ms Whyte should resign immediately and the role either disbanded or completely reconfigured, with an ex-referee who will show neutrality being put in place, preferably from outside Scotland.
