tattiescone69 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 United's penalty, although likely a dive, can't be proved conclusively due the lack of required camera angle. Hence no citation. Nobody else seemed to have a problem with not lunging into tackles except Brown. Is he uniquely incapable? Are you suggesting he slipped? Cos he didnae. It was a textbook Brown "marker" tackle. Ciftci lunged in catching Brown on the head with his studs , dunno what game you were watching but that was a straight red all day , i reckon Brown probably did merit a red for that one due to having both feet off the ground . As i said above , he committed two fouls in the game , there were a few tasty tackles flying in mainly due to a pisspoor playing surface . As for "marker" tackles , i've lost count of the number of times i've seen a Lasley , Goodwin , Tokely , Ciftci "letting Celtic know they're about" . Funny how it's acceptable for inferior footballing teams to make up for their shortfall by leaving the foot in , we're then told to "man up" , then it's mock outrage when somebody like Brown metes it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattiescone69 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Celtic have collective amnesia when it comes to Guidetti diving in Milan. Players all dive nowadays , just part of the game . There's no will to do anything about it either from the authorities or the media . Will never change now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I see Scott brown committee as many fouls as the whole utd team on Sunday and didn't even get booked. Sums up the refereeing in this country. I thought that was a great stat, until I realised you made it up! 56% of stats are made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I remember Ciftci doing exactly the same after about 30 seconds of the Utd v Celtic game at Tannadice in December, he was booked and I turned to my brother and said "Ciftci is a total fanny". I wouldn't call Ciftci's retaliation on Brown a lunge and it certainly wasn't down to the pitch. It was a red though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamntg Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Incredible, even by the SFA's standards. Hardly. He only stamped on Butcher's thigh. Now, will they decide that Paul Paton is guilty of being Calum Butcher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 In fact, how do we know that Paton didn't kill Terry Pratchett? Or even more, it wasNadir Ciftci? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamntg Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 So, everyone was innocent? Phew - you'd have thought one stamp, one kick, one attempted kick and one two footed lunge might have warranted at least a yellow card somewhere, but apparently not, I blame Paul Paton.

AberdeenAngus Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 The SFA are a laughing stock over this. In a game where most neutrals would say that 5 red cards would have been correct the appeal process has whittled 3 actual reds down to 1 which was never going to be appealed. Not sure either club comes out of it well either with both apparently thinking their players were totally innocent and the other club's guilty in the Brown/Butcher/Ciftci/Van Dijk melee. Maybe time to scrap the Compliance Officer and retrospective offers of bans if they can't use TV evidence to make relatively straight forward decisions which everyone can see. A cynic might even suggest that a behind closed doors deal has been done. Whatever it certainly doesn't show our game in a good light.

ShedTA Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Can't have been any worse than the one for the united penalty Brown committed two of Celtic's fouls on sunday , compared with 9 from United , but don't let that get in the way of a good story If teams can't produce anything better than that disgrace of a park then it should be played on a neutral venue , the reason there were so many bad tackles is because players couldn't control the ball to pass it . Nice of united to water the pitch after the game , just in the nick of time for a park that was drier than a Pharaoh's sock Nice selective post, you neglected to mention the 17 Celtic fouls. Re the pitch, not sure why it was so bad but as long as I have been watching football in Scotland you get bad pitches now and again in the winter. If Celtic can't deal with a poor pitch they should f@ck off to the EPL where all the pitches are immaculate. Oh I forgot the EPL don't f@cking want you.

ShedTA Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) So, everyone was innocent? Phew - you'd have thought one stamp, one kick, one attempted kick and one two footed lunge might have warranted at least a yellow card somewhere, but apparently not, I blame Paul Paton. Its just rediculous, but you would almost think with the wording of the charge they left a loophole for utd to use. the charge was deliberately kicking Scott brown in the head. He definitely did it but you could argue he didn't deliberately mean to kick his head. Its still a red card though so he could only have been cleared because van dijk was.

Calm down mate the games been sanitised enough as it is. Most of it was handbags and I'm even prepared to give Ciftci the benefit of some considerable doubt. Still think Connolly should have been done for simulation though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
