You cannot spin your way out of giving a manager a four year deal before a ball is kicked, watching him quit before the first round is complete, and then pretend you should still be running the game.
Clarke cannot be the only one to go.
Spot on 👏
Huge credit to @IanWright0 for calling it out
Those running the game are holding it back massively only got to look at our TV/sponsorship deals, lack of investment in grassroots & no pathway for youth development
Every single one of them is failing Scottish football
We will all have our say on referees, every fan will believe some have went for and against their team, most will think they are hard done by.
I’ll say one thing, I believe for the good of Scottish football, Willie Collum must be removed immediately.
It’s got worse.
Time to go
We as Scottish football fans, depending on our team, can argue all we want. Our opinions are fixed and won’t change. I don’t give a toss about Celtic fans opinion or expect them to care about mine.
The SFA’s problem is the rest of the world, with no stake in it, saw it too.
I don’t give a monkeys what party she represents; she speaks the truth. And other MSPs laugh. Shame on them. The woman of Scotland agree with every single word.
This soundbite from the CEO of the SFA shows exactly why the officiating standards are where they are, and why they will never improve. It also shows why Collum will remain in situ after a mortifying season of gaffs and the reputation of Scottish football is in the toilet as a result. Not a single Scottish official at the World Cup.
It's defensive and laughably blames the notion that "we live in a country that forensically examines every decision" we have to presume there's zero intention to look at things with a critical eye and even admit that we need vast change and improvement.
I've said it before and this is the proof - the culture of low standards and low accountability starts at the top of the SFA and SPFL and is embedded right down.
Nothing is going to change while these people are in charge. A footballing backwater.
Seriously that is never a handball at Fir Park. The boy headed it 20 yards. The ref takes one look after VAR calls him over. Embarrassing for Scottish football.
