Never mind Starfelt, when are the refs going to coin on to the Celtic, players going down supposedly with cramp, or some other excuse, to take the sting out of the game, when they are under pressure. They are copying the wasting tactics here, because they play a high energy style. In England, roundabout 65 to 75 mins players were using the same tactic of feigning injury, just to take the sting out of games, because they needed a breather, and had to disrupt play to slow it down. Look at the last 15mins yesterday.Starfelt should have been booked for persistent fouling, absolutely.
The result had nothing to do with the referee,but our inability to defend set pieces. Yes there was a clear shirt pull on Goldson,which if it was a European game would been scrutinized by VAR.Just please give us VAR, I'm sick to the pit of rank rotten or suspect referees.
You called that wrong , he’s the type of ref you need when your Celtic.This is going to sound weird but Collum is the kind of ref you want when you are the away team.

We dont use it as an excuse the club dont say anything about the bias i am not sure what you on about here and i dont really disagree that its daft to blame WC for everything that went wrong yesterday. We lose poor goals and cant put the ball in the net thats nothing to with referees.
Are you suggesting that you should decide which incidents we can discuss on here is that what you mean ?
The point about other fans we dont know that you speak with isnt really important though, St J fan hates a ref or thinks they were robbed on sat, who cares ?
What about anyone that believes over the whole season this group of refs have put a serious amount of effort into handing Celtic the title ?Anybody blaming the ref yesterday really needs to lie down in a dark room put the lights out and shut the curtains
So we just blame the refs and forget about the teams performance?What about anyone that believes over the whole season this group of refs have put a serious amount of effort into handing Celtic the title ?
The bias and dishonesty couldnt be more obvious its almost every single game both sides play, not just old firm or v Hearts and Hibs, it is hard to understand why anyone on the Rangers side has not noticed just how bent the whole competition actually is. And guess what they will be just as motivated to do it again next year.
Can't both of these be valid reasons?So we just blame the refs and forget about the teams performance?
Correct get VAR and combine it with making them accountable for their decisions.Just please give us VAR, I'm sick to the pit of rank rotten or suspect referees.
No ofcourse not clearly there is a lot of problems with this squad and manager and with honest refereeing we might well have lost the game anyway.So we just blame the refs and forget about the teams performance?
if he was useless he'd be useless for both teams. How was he useless to celtic?Collum is useless but he’s the best of a bad bunch IMO and I do not blame him whatsoever for yesterday.
I agree with this - there could have been a couple of bookings for persistant fouling he didnt give (Jota and Starfelt from memory) he didn't have any "major" decisions to get right (or wrong in his case) - so he certainly wasn't the issue yesterday.
And that was a penalty too.The Broadfoot penalty was immediately deemed contentious by the Press because “Collum wasn’t even looking at it”
Then the Willie Vas photo showing him looking right at it appears, totally refuting that argument, then the Vas photo is shelved and the narrative continued and amplified.
Was the same with the late Kyriakos penalty at Tynecastle. BBC interviewed the Hearts defender immediately after the game, he said something to the effect that “ nine times out of ten you get away with it”
By 8:00 am next morning that interview was “lost” and the “No contact, biased Linesman” narrative begun.
No 'could' about it pal, it's a stonewaller as per the rules of the game. They would have got it. I'm more bothered about our managers inability to change that game yesterday but that doesn't mean we can just ignore that refs performance yesterday.The handball IMHO wasn't a penalty (I can understand others saying it should be and in VAR world of Europa it may have been - but in the non VAR league I don't think it is) - the shirt pull granted could be given - but if you analyse every freekick / corner you will see shirt pulling and blocking.
put it this way - I didn't leave Ibrox yesterday thinking it was the refs fault we lost.

The goldson shirt pull " could " be given ...... honestly can't believe such a pandering reply from a bearThe handball IMHO wasn't a penalty (I can understand others saying it should be and in VAR world of Europa it may have been - but in the non VAR league I don't think it is) - the shirt pull granted could be given - but if you analyse every freekick / corner you will see shirt pulling and blocking.

It'll be the same easily manipulated shit bag refs in the VAR truck mate. I wouldn't get your hopes up.Our chances of going well against Braga are far better than doing well against Celtic for this very reason.
It's constant. Anyone steps out of line and gives a 50/50 our way in an important match and you won't see them for dust.The SFA never forgave Collum for the Broadfoot penalty at the Piggery. They bided their time and waited for him to make a glaring error, and they then demoted him.

They did it to Walsh more recently and now Dallas has been completely bombed.
It's been going on for years now and is slowly building a culture within the refs where their subconscious is to be extremely lenient with the Tims and harsh as %^*& with us.
Since the winter break, I can count maybe 5 or 6 blatant handballs which had to have been penalty's, the shirt pull on Sakala, multiple offsides given with our player at worst in line.
Then that dick yesterday, another handball, another shirt pull, persistent fouling, and two possible red cards, but we don't get a single one of them.
That's exactly it, yes. They would have ripped collum to bits today if he'd give a decision against them.I said it the other day, mate. Only refs kept them in a title race this season. In any other League, they'd be currently fighting for 3rd spot. The corruption is now so ingrained in the SPFL, its normalised and nobody is surprised when Celtc get away with murder again like yesterday. Imagine if we had won 2-1 yesterday, and Celtc were denied a blatant penalty for a shirt-pull like on Goldson. ? They wouldn't be giving a toss about a bottle thrown. There would be a meltdown and Collum destroyed in the tabloids today.
His real job is an RE teacher at an RC school he wouldn’t give Rangers any decision no matter how blatant.we need to stop this attitude
we are allowed to play poor and win
had we lost 2-1 yesterday with nothing contentuous about the officiating then its all on our team
but despite our failings, we should have had 2 penalties - that alone wins the game, never mind the minimum 1 red card for them
same applied to Tannadice etc etc etc
i can only think of the Sakala offside goal vs Motherwell thats gone our way this season - we gained 1 pt
but Motherwell should've had an offside call the next Ibrox game which cost us 2 pts
Collum has been tainted since the penalty at Parkhead
How many replays and different angles did we see of the Maeda incident and Aribo’s trip or the hand ball or the twunt trying to steal Goldson’s shirt!That's the difference with the media up here. One bad decision by a ref which costs Celtc is the only talking point for weeks on end, and dominates tabloid articles and phone-ins, and the ref slaughtered. The bad decisions which cost us points are quickly forgotten.
absolute nonsense. How can a referee making game changing decision have nothing to do with him?Yesterday was nothing to do with Collum. Was everything to do with our players and manager.

The sakala tannadice one was unbelievable. Cost us two points.The shirt-pull on Goldson yesterday, just like the shirt-pull on Sakala at Tannadice, will soon be quickly forgotten.
More crap. The decisions a referee makes or doesn’t make have a massive bearing on a game.Yesterday was nothing to do with Collum. Was everything to do with our players and manager.
Well said and all true. Still a lot of people choose not to believe comments like this which I believe does have substance.I said it the other day, mate. Only refs kept them in a title race this season. In any other League, they'd be currently fighting for 3rd spot.

The sakala tannadice one was unbelievable. Cost us two points.
What remedy would you suggest for someone asking that the Laws of the game should be applied?Anybody blaming the ref yesterday really needs to lie down in a dark room put the lights out and shut the curtains
You just joined? Carstairs has it’s own FF wing!The goldson shirt pull " could " be given ...... honestly can't believe such a pandering reply from a bear
He didn't miss it mate he was looking straight at it from the ONE replay that was shown.His failure to book any of their players in the first half was appalling. Misses the shirt pull on Goldson too for a penalty. He's a really poor referee.
If you are looking to blame anyone for that game it was MorelosYes, but we still should have beat them that day. With or without that decision. That we couldn't says a lot about the team, not Collum, which have been highlighted by subsequent performances.
If Rangers had got a penalty from the Goldson incident then the result probably would have been affected.The result had nothing to do with the referee,but our inability to defend set pieces. Yes there was a clear shirt pull on Goldson,which if it was a European game would been scrutinized by VAR.
if it was the other way about we'd have VAR in already.Since Gerrard came in we've had a nucelus of referees who have cost us points on several occasions.
It all started with Clancy sending Alfie off 8 mins into the season in Gerrard's first game. Beatons numerous errors, Collum sending Candeias off for blowing a kiss. Madden's cowardice to award us anything because of the 'Madh*n' tag. Throw in Robertson and McLean to the mix as well.
Look back at points dropped over the seasons and it's these same referees who always seem to be in charge when it happens. Ususally with some form of controversy in the game. We as a club don't call it out so we continue to suffer the consequences. Unfortunately there are a lot of people on here who don't want to acknowlege it's happening as it's regarded as 'Timmy behaviour' to complain about officials. Instead we get the hysteria around the players and the manager that is overly critical.
The Tims have benefited massively from decisions this season, including on Sunday there. If ANY of the decisions we've been subjected to since the Winter Break happened to them, there would be inquests in the papers and radio. Hampden would have been marched on and the Head of Referees would have been run out of town after any tenuous link to Rangers was found.
But the manager is clueless, the players are bottlers, yada, yada, yada. We've all said that we're refereed to a different standard but we don't complain about it so season in and season out we're subjected to the same baffling decisions from the same small group of referees and nothing gets done about it. Yes the Manager and the Team share some of the blame but not all of it.
