And last season's red card for Allan McGregor at Easter Road when television proved that he took some of the ball in the challenge. Even on appeal with said television evidence the red card was not overturned.

Video of the tackle -

 

Every single mhedia pundit agrees with you Alltims, including guys who staunchly defend Celtic under any circumstance like Murdo McLeod. The only person who didn't think it was a red card was referee Willie Collum.

 

Now bear in mind that this referee is only in his 2nd season as a grade 1 official. Prior to that he was a referee at junior level in Scotland, and he refereed a good few games involving Rutherglen Glencairn. He had a very poor reputation amongst the junior scene and had a reputation as a referee who was red card happy.

 

Isn't it strange now then, given the most blatantly obvious red card, that he decides only to show yellow on this occasion ?

it was a red card just like the mcgregor one against hearts last season

You are having a laugh, yes ?

no both were worthy of red cards

Okaaaaay.

I watched 'The Full SPL' for the first time in ages tonight. Nice and impartial panel as usual. Barry 'elbows' Robson and Jim Duffy. It took Duffy about two seconds to tell us that a yellow card was the correct decision because, apparently, Borat tried to pull out at the last minute  

 

I watched on till the Rangers game whereafter the analysis talked about Rangers & Aberdeen for a couple of minutes before the conversation was turned back to C*ltic. I immediately reached for the off button.
