And we're heading into Christmas still talking about the cheating men in black who do everything in their power to ensure that the ugly sisters of Glasgow get every advantage going.

Andrew Dallas in the cup final was an absolute disgrace, giving a penalty for an incident miles outside the box.

He had an even bigger howler last night giving St Johnstone a penalty that never was.

Last week you had a referee allow a goal to stand where four Sevco players were offside.

Last night at Ibrox you had a referee send off Sam Cosgrove of Aberdeen for getting kicked by a Sevco player! Also last night Morales punched Shinnie and it's only deemed a second yellow, should have been straight red. Big Kyle laughable elbowed Scott McKenna in the face and he has to leave the pitch for several minutes. Guarantee that the "compliance" officer won't cite Kyle and give him a retrospective ban.

Referee's in Scotland are an embarrassment.

I beg to differ.;)
I thought it was just the three Rangers players who were offside.
Another 'ghost' penalty awarded against Hearts last night.

Mibbe - but we easy deserved to win - so 2pts dropped say's Tommy :)
 
Rangers go top of the league, get a bit giddy, then lose 5 points out of 6. [snigger]

Only 3 points between the top four now, 5 between the top five.
Great to enjoy a competitive league.

Obviously not forgetting that the team say on top have two games in hand plus Rangers have a game in hand - add those onto the points tally and it’s not as close as “competitive” as you suggest. Celtic will walk the league again even though they have been below par and lost a good number of players.

Reckon both the old Firm teams will be double figure points clear from all the others

Ehhhh, I know you don't get Scottish football down south but Celtic have been in superb form the last half dozen games.
Can you name the 'good number of players' that they have lost.

What do you mean “don’t get Scottish Football down south”

Well they lost prob the best player in the league in Dembele and also Armstrong left

They lost a couple early games , but now top of the table - 2 games in hand and they will go on the win the league at a canter for what is it ? 8th year in a row

I don’t think any other league in Europe has one team dominate the league for such a long period. Not really competitive as hard as you try to make it - 99.9% of people know that Celtic are going to win it and will no doubt do the same again next year

Are you aware of the difference between losing and the club making a choice to sell and replace. TWO players:eek: one of which was a bench warmer [now staring in the EPL]

Hearts lost their two main central defenders and two main strikers on long term injury. Plus another two or three first team players out for a few weeks/months. SEVEN players

There is no difference - the player is still no longer at the club. They lost two key players and will still walk the league - it’s a shame for all the other clubs that one team dominates so much for such a long period.

Love the carefully chosen 'such a long period' as England moves on to the Man City period. After Man U dominated for a decade.
Big gap between 2nd and third in the EPL, perhaps that league will be a two horse race this year for a change.;)

To suggest Armstrong was a bench warmer is a tad unfair. Armstrong didn't hide the fact that he wanted to leave and Celtic rightly used him sparingly after his injury.

Hearts/Hibs/Aberdeen/St J will always struggle once they lose a player or three through suspension and injury, just nature of the best with squad size.

I hope you mean starting in the prem. He hasn't pulled up any trees, despite a few goals for us recently.
