Thread: The Establishment/Paranoia Files

Post all of your ‘Paranoia’ and ‘Establishment’ contributions in this thread.

Thought this post by L.S.F was a great introduction.

There's been many decisions before my lifetime and there'll be many after, that favour R*ngers at the expense of Celtic.

Most recently, Artur Boruc's punt up the field was clearly in his own box. Falkirk almost scored from this with little time remaining for Celtic to go and win the game.

The same linesman also penalised Lee Naylor for a foul throw, although replays later revealed it was nowhere near being a foul throw. Cheat.

Look at the penalty the "Quintessential British Club" got against Hamilton in the cup... then look at the penalties we were denied on Saturday. Cheating. 2 points lost.

Against Falkirk in the 3-3 game, we got a goal disallowed for offside although replays proved he wasn't and we should've won the game 4-3. I'm sure it was McDonald though it could've been Samaras. R*ngers get these decisions, we don't. Then again, they are The People. 2 points lost.

Against Dundee United in the 1-1 game we had a great penalty shout denied. 2 points lost.

I won't argue with McGeady's yellow for apparent simulation vs Hibs this season, though he's been on the wrong end of similar decisions since. This is cheating. I never see European referee's having a problem with the apparent diving of Aiden McGeady.

The lack of penalty decisions given at Ibrox for us in the 2-1 game. The lack of punishment given to them for their outrageous challenges. I don't know what was more embarrassing, his refereeing performance or how bad he was at disgusing his bias towards R*ngers.

Fortune's goal being disallowed for absolutely nothing. Lafferty only getting booked for almost snapping Hinkel's leg. IIRC, it was Lafferty who won the corner from which McCulloch scored. The same McCulloch who only 10 minutes earlier went into a challenge with Boruc with his studs raised and planted them right in his balls. No free kick was given, as far as I'm aware. Should have been a red, no doubt. We win 1-0 and take 3 points from them, of course, the SFA wouldn't allow that.

The big, greasy, dirty, cheating, scumbag, Greek cunt who leaped into the air claiming he'd been pushed (obviously by the invisible man, because R*ngers wouldn't cheat... right?) against Hearts in the "McDonald" season. Penalty given, wrongly.

R*ngers getting 3, yes, 3 penalties in one match, away to Dundee. A match they had to win. They drew 3-3 eventually and won the league only on goal difference... that should've been Celtic's league by a few points.

Lee McCulloch deliberately falling onto Nakamura's head when he was lying on the ground. Unpunished. Scumbag.

Johan Mjallby's goal against Motherwell disallowed when it was so clearly over the line. Cheated.

John Hartson's goal in the cup final against The People wrongly disallowed. Cheated again, we're used to it by now, though.

Alan Thompson sent off for not headbutting Peter Lovenkrands (we finished the match with 9 men). Charlie Mulgrew sent off for not headbutting Kyle Lafferty.

Jim Farry, chief of SFA, being sacked for deliberately holding back Jorge Cadete's registration so he would miss an important match against R*ngers. Wee Fergus took the scumbags on, something I doubt the current "businessmen" in charge of the club would do. They just roll over and take it up the arse, like the good wee lassies they truly fucking are.

A referee (I forget his name), asking the SFA if his last match in charge before he retired could be a R*ngers match... the SFA said yes, unsurprisingly.

Remember what I said about McCulloch and Boruc? R*ngers have history of getting away with that... Allan McGregor leaping in the air and kicking Hearts' Calum Elliot in the stomach with his studs. Nothing at all was given, not even a free-kick.

McCurrygate, you knew it was coming...

Noel Hunt being assaulted by a R*ngers player (I think Broadfoot) and getting absolutely nothing. Levein said at the time Hunt's mouth was bleeding.

Lee Wilkie getting headbutted by Daniel Cousin and nothing whatsoever was given by the referee. Cousin done the exact same thing against Fiorentina that year and was sent off... neutral refs and all that...

Hunt being denied a stone wall penalty, fair enough, these things happen (aye, right) but even worse than that, was Dundee United's goal being disallowed for offside... Swanson shot from 25 yards, it hit Davie Weir and flew into the net. The linesman and referee agreed it had hit a Dundee United player and not Weir, and that it was offside.

McCurry later admitted he'd got these decisions wrong (justice... aye, right).

That same season, in the cup final, Carlos Cuellar hauled a Dundee United player down to the ground inside the penalty box. It was as clear a penalty as you'll ever see... I don't need to tell you the outcome, do I?

R*ngers won that cup final after struggling to a penalty shoot-out. Dundee United were cheated so that R*ngers could win some silverware.

Years ago, a Celtic goalkeeper had the ball in his hands and a R*ngers player ran into him so ferociously that the ball came loose and and the R*ngers player tapped it into the net. The goal stood. Compare that with the disgusting challenge Fortune made against McGregor. Great refereeing, I say!

Another one I've just remembered is... the cup final we beat them in last season. Lennon didn't stop the ball for Ferguson to take a throw in quickly, so Ferguson pushed Lennon on his way to getting the ball... imagine this was Artur Boruc doing that to Walter Smith. There'd be yellow cards, fines and extended suspensions for the big man. Ferguson didn't even get a warning!

I refuse to believe we're all "paranoid Fenian bastards" as we're told. One or two refereeing decisions fair enough. But enough to fill a Lord of the Rings book? Nah, not for me.

This isn't conspiracy theories, this is evidence, and there's much more if out there.

Dispelling Hun mythology.

During our quest for 3IAR, at the tail end of the 2007/2008 season we were lead to believe we had been the beneficiaries of some rather fortunate referring decisions…

The most prominent decision alluded to is the “goal that never was” against Aberdeen at Parkhead.

It's said, Ian Brines ruled out a legitimate Aberdeen goal in the closing stages of the game which would have seen us draw 1-1 and subsequently forfeit critical points in the race for the title... Now, to an extent this is true. There appeared to be nothing wrong with the goal.

However, this only seems favourable to us as the bigger picture is deliberately hidden. We were leading 1-0 at the time of happening but had already seen TWO Samaras goals disallowed beforehand.

The first was a marginal offside call!

But the second, to this day, has not been explained! This goal has never been spoken of in the media. Nobody knows why this goal was disallowed. It should have been 2-0 at this stage.

Moreover, the Aberdeen goal should never have initiated anyway. The throw in which led to the Aberdeen goal was actually a Celtic throw… Naylor kicked it off an Aberdeen player so clearly, that it bounced of the Dons’ players’ hand.

This was so blatant, when Brines amazingly gave the throw in to Aberdeen... sections of the stadium leapt up in disbelief, airing their disgust and amazement at Brines (who must have known he might a right arse of the decision)

From that throw in, Aberdeen scored.

I suspect Brines knowing he made the wrong decision for the throw and having already disallowed two Samaras goals (one of which still remains a mystery) tried to even out the decisions by disallowing the Aberdeen goal.

Good shout with that mate.

I remember the match report's in every paper implied we'd been gifted 3 points by the referee's. They failed to mention our two disallowed goals and the fact it was our throw in.

A lot of Huns are saying this season against Hearts we were gifted a corner in stoppage time which we scored from, that's complete nonsense. The highlights at the time proved that it was our corner.

One of the things that pisses me off just as much as the blatant refereeing bias, is the media pretending we get as many decisions as they do, and their convienent short memory when it comes to speaking about certain decisions.

Compare and contrast the media reaction…

Aiden McGeady's 'dive' (if we can even call it that)



With the shameful and utterly vulgar actions of Kris Boyd and Kevin Thomson

You’ll be searching a long time before you find any mention of the above YouTube clips in the Scottish press…

However, when Aiden McGeady took a tumble at Hibs (which is still questionable)

This is the story that was published in the Scottish Sun on the 31st August 2009.

Headline:

Celtic’s diving shame

Quotes from the article

CELTIC suffered the ultimate embarrassment yesterday - they had a player sent off for diving.

The Bhoys caused uproar on Wednesday when they demanded UEFA take action against Arsenal striker Eduardo for falling over to win a penalty in the Gunners' Champions League victory.

But the Scottish giants were at it themselves as Aiden McGeady was given a second yellow card for a theatrical tumble during the 1-0 win at Hibernian.

Two accounts of blatant cheating by Huns goes completely unnoticed and yet the very instant it is merely possible that a Celtic player has taken an easy fall (of which we still dispute) it makes back page headlines!

The Jorge Cadete "offside" equaliser at Ibrox in the 9 in a row season...

The masonic handshake before a Celtic V R*ngers match between the ref and John Greig.

The McCurrygate Scandal. Ibrox, May 10th 2008.

Some background context.

Dundee United travelled to Glasgow, on the assumption a bare minimum point against R*ngers at Ibrox would give them a realistic hope of consolidating 4th place in the SPL.

For those who are unfamiliar with what the league positions represent… Approximately each place is separated by 100-200k at the end of the season, which can be a critical financial reliance for some SPL clubs.

On the opposing side, The Establishment club, R*ngers know a resurgent Celtic are gaining tremendous ground on them in the race for the Championship.
Several weeks previously, it looked an inevitable formality that the league title would be heading to Ibrox. However, after two Derby victories Celtic were building a substantial momentum, and looked likely to take maximum points from their remaining fixtures.

R*ngers on the other hand (despite being granted an unprecedented extension to the league, the very same extension Celtic were denied in 2003 ) were looking unsteady. Should they drop points against United, it would almost certainly see Celtic be on course to win the Championship on goal difference.

What happened in Glasgow that day was possibly one of the most inconspicuous forms of cheating I’ve ever seen in professional sport… It’s definitely on par with the preposterous decision to give the same club, R*ngers “three penalties” away from home against Dundee in May 2003, which again resulted In them ‘winning’ the Championship.


The following is the recollection of the Dundee United manager, Craig Levein who is understandably irate at some of the ludicrous decisions in the game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlFpHriMd8A

Boyd also done a terrible dive this season vs Queen of the South and didn't get booked... it was so bad he even laughed about it when on the ground. No yellow.

If I remember correctly, the back pages of the papers the next day had 2 pictures side by side, a large picture of McGeady vs Hibs (whilst he was in the air) and a small picture of Boyd sitting on the ground (after his dive).

Cadete was notable for one of Fergus McCann's most formidable triumphs. At McCann's behest, an independent commission examined the circumstances behind the transfer of Cadete's registration from Sporting Lisbon to Celtic in the spring of 1996.

James Farry, the chief executive of the SFA, was found by the commision to have deliberately delayed Cadete's registration to prevent him playing against R*ngers in the Scottish Cup semi final that year; a match that Celtic lost.

Farry was promptly dismissed by the SFA for gross misconduct.


But we're only paraniod

The Daily Ranger broadcasting more sensationalist fabrication to unsettle Celtic Football Club.

Tony Mowbray has stunned star man Scott Brown by telling him he has no future at Celtic.

Record Sport understands the Scotland midfielder was given the bombshell news during a showdown meeting with Mowbray before Christmas - and that the manager made it clear he hoped to sell him during the January transfer window.

Brown is believed to be devastated by Mowbray's decision to ditch him - and by the fact his one-time mentor at Hibs, a man he had huge respect for, chose to jettison him during his long slog back to fitness after botched ankle surgery last summer.

Brown, signed from Easter Road by previous Celtic boss Gordon Strachan for £4.5million, had been a key player fo rMowbray in the manager's first few months even though he was playing in serious discomfort.

He eventually broke down in October and was flown to Amsterdam to go under the knife a second time in a desperate bid to beat the injury and help his boss secure the SPL title during his first season in charge.

He is now back at the club's Lennoxtown HQ working his way towards full fitness but heartbroken Brown, who is just days away from rejoining full training, knows Mowbray would rather sell him immediately than play him when he is ready to return to action.Last night, when contacted by Record Sport, the player said: "Yes, there was a conversation between myself and the manager but I am not prepared to go into details.

"I believe these things should remain private. Maybe you should ask him what was said. I have nothing more to add."

But privately Brown has been rocked by his manager's stance and his team-mates are also understood to have been appalled by the manner in which Mowbray has treated one of the most popular and highly-rated players at the Parkhead club.

And this shock move has triggered a chain of events that has led to further serious unrest among Mowbray's first-team squad.

Agroup of senior players spoke up against the manager earlier in the season after he repeatedly attacked them in public following a string of poor results and admitted he would like to bring in as many as 10 new players in the transfer window.

Hours later, Celtic release this statement on their official website.

club statement on scott brown story

Newsroom Staff
CELTIC Football club have today rejected an erroneous newspaper story regarding Scott Brown, which claimed manager Tony Mowbray informed the midfielder that he had no future at the club.

The story, which appeared on Wednesday morning, has been dismissed by both Tony Mowbray and Scott Brown as being totally without foundation.

The club is currently taking legal advice over the issue.


Scott remains a central figure in the manager's long-term plans for Celtic and Tony can categorically state that he has never told the player that he wants him to leave the club.


The Celtic manager said: "The story is absolute nonsense. I never told Scott Brown that I want him to leave the club. Scott is a huge player for Celtic and absolutely part of the future plans of this club.


“I have worked with Scott for a number of years and have a great relationship with him. It’s disappointing that people are able to write things which are so inaccurate.


“But I know our supporters will understand that unfortunately this is one of the things we need to deal with. I am sure they will also know that we are all working together at Celtic to do all we can to achieve success for the club,”


Scott Brown said: "Obviously I am very disappointed with this article as there is no foundation to it. I have worked with the manager for some time and have a very good relationship with him.


“It’s disappointing to have been out for so long with an injury but I’m looking forward to getting back to full fitness as soon as possible and getting back in to the team for the second half of the season.”


As a club, we can only speculate about the motivation of such an erroneous article but we can assure the Celtic supporters that we will not allow this type of reporting to unsettle the club or the player.


At this stage of the season, it’s more important than ever that everyone at Celtic Football Club and the supporters pull together. We will not let this be disrupted by any outside interference.

That is the first time I have saw the replay of those challenges and also the first time I have seen the positioning of the ref at Brown's sending off.

Disgraceful decisions the lot of them and I retract my statements claiming that Brown perhaps merited the red as there is no way in fuck the ref could have seen that but Lafferty's dive obviously made him think otherwise...Brown was still silly to do what he did but the cheating from both the ref and Laughable do not help at all...Dirty cheating bastards!

Bougherra's last tackle was identical to the first tackle (the one he was booked for)

Coming from behind and stamping on Keanes ankle, no intention to play the ball, add to that that the six others and you wonder why he was still on the park....infact, no you don't wonder at all
