Congratulations Celtic on the most tainted title ever in this century.
Funny saying this despite the Covid title and a Cup being won after the final was rescheduled for after their opponents was relegated and half the team was sold off, all happening in the last few years.
Strange coincidence that in all 3 instances, it was one club benefitting.
Well tried Hearts. But it was all too much at the end.
Referees, like anyone, should not have to suffer threats or intimidation.
But this hasn't just happened in a scottish oasis of calm and tranquility where refs have been supported and lauded.
There has been a form of aggressive lobbying from the top of one football club ever since the Dougie McDonald incident, this set a tone and agenda that their fanbase carried relentlessly without counter or repercussion.
The referee strike and why it happened has been erased from history. That should have been a watershed moment - it wasn't
They continued as they started to see results from the pressure, and successive CEOs / chairman / managers of Celtic maintained the tone and pressure - explicit and implicit. And now here we are.
Rangers have occasionally spoke up when they feel the need, but nothing as concerted and pernicious as Celtic's 15yr campaign.
This statement tells a story much higher than Beaton got threats because of Wednesday night, but most don't want to tell it.
Say what you like, call me dramatic if you want, but that’s the league done
You couldn’t have asked for an easier opening two games of the season, and we’ve come away with just two points
Pathetic.
