I knew it was bad but didn’t think it was that badNot sure, but someone posted a stat yesterday that claimed only 3 out of the 16 penalties we’ve been awarded were directly by the ref.
The only one that probably wasn't a penalty.Ross McCausland at Livingston?
Does anyone know the last penalty Clancy awarded us in real time ?
That's exactly how var is being used. Refs are deferring to itNot sure if the stats are similar for other teams, but I've been wondering if refs are using VAR as a crutch? Are they thinking "no need to make contentious penalty calls, VAR will pick it up for me".
The Rings supporting propaganda ramped up the pressure to use VAR against us it was then used and in all decisions around us were treated like crime scenes!And how many have we had since then?

The sterling penalty at st Johnstone exposed it. Literally everyone said penalty except the ref, who waited for the var callCeltic have had 8 out of 15 penalties awarded in real time by the ref so more than 50%. We’ve had 3 out of 15.
What it tells you is referees aren’t scared to give decisions to celtic, as they know VAR aren’t going to challenge them, how many penalties have you seen overturned ?
Hence the reason Walsh can give ridiculous decisions like the penalty to celtic at Tynecastle when Kyogo flung himself in to the defender, knowing no one will challenge him, but conversely book Boyle v celtic at Easter Road for clear contact.
Literally right under the nose of the linesman aswell that one. The most blatant penalty you’ll ever see aswellThe sterling penalty at st Johnstone exposed it. Literally everyone said penalty except the ref, who waited for the var call
Does anyone have this information for the other SPFL clubs by any chance ?
Speaking about that last night.Not sure, but someone posted a stat yesterday that claimed only 3 out of the 16 penalties we’ve been awarded were directly by the ref.
Yet, we still have our own supporters moan about VAR!St Johnstone at Ibrox when Dessers was brought down was the last one we've been given in real time in the league. Think the most recent was foul on Sterling at Easter Road in the cup.
Yesterday was our 7th penalty since then and all 7 have went to VAR to be given.
