It wasn’t caused by perfectly reasonable criticism, it was caused by, probably, criminal release of personal details without consent. The 2 are not connected.
🗣️ “I had to spend one night on the phone trying to organise police protection for one of our match officials, and at that point you realise everybody’s gone too far.”
Ian Maxwell on referee safety and the use of VAR ⤵️
Watching the Cup Final & it shows that the BBC have more & better angles than our VAR system to show the incidents. Plus they also PAY MILLIONS to the @ScottishFA & @spfl to cover the matches!
How dare you have a debate on the current situation in Scottish football with a former CEO of the SPFL who labels the current product “shit” and blocks people for questioning his decision making that played a role in the drop in quality of the game.
@RPMComo@Stephen19896202 Again Roger you don’t answer the question, were those 10 teams better off for backing your plan?
Overall, your plan could have potentially worked long-term but as an alternative to Sky in 2002, it was absolutely absurd and the SPFL has never really recovered from it.
@RPMComo@Stephen19896202 You didn’t answer the question that I would have imagined the Old Firm asked as well?
Were those 10 clubs better off for backing your plan?
@RPMComo@Stephen19896202 The idea wasn’t the issue, it’s more the question that whether the DTC service would have got the 42m figure that Sky in four years would have provided without any production costs in 2002?
The idea felt very rushed which is why I’m stunned 10 clubs banked on it.
@RPMComo@Stephen19896202 Because of your previous role, makes us question more why you refer to the product as shit that you played a role in selling or underselling to the world more 20 years ago?
@RPMComo I’m fascinated as to why you don’t follow the SPFL considering you used to be the CEO?
The wider world has been far more interested in debating the real issues with the decision
Scotland is impossible to do that because allegiances will always cloud judgement as you will know.
So Willie Collum backing John Beaton to award penalty after only 17 sec review on advice of Andrew Dallas to award penalty to Celtic v Motherwell has been adjudged to be wrong by KMI. The WORLD knew it was wrong. What an awful look for Collum & shows Dallas has too much influence
THE REF’S VIEW: From Zero To Chernobyl
The guys are here to discuss the massively dramatic situation on Wednesday night, the aftermath and discuss the refereeing display at Celtic Park on Saturday.

Just last week both of these VAR Officials were involved in, what many commentators called, the worst VAR decision ever. The consequences in Scottish football are being appointed to yet more hugely important games!
