McCoist wins appeal against touchline ban | Football | STV Sport
Bougherra and Diouf escape further bans for Old Firm flashpoint | Football | STV Sport
Bougherra and Diouf escape further bans for Old Firm flashpoint | Football | STV Sport
McCiost - Started the touchline mess by provoking Lennon (even if you are silly enough to think he didnt provoke him, he defiantly took part.) Escapes with no ban whilst Lennon got a 4 match ban oO) (only had to serve one because the HFA dont even know there own rules)
Diouf - Swear at the ref several times, refused to leave the field despite being red carded and escorted by stewards/police to the tunnel. No ban.
Bougherra - Manhandled the referee no extra ban. Lennon did something similar 5 game ban and his "And his previous record has been taken into consideration." dispite him never having been red carded or reaching the yellow card limit at this stage.

This is absolutely disgusting.
We're not paranoid
""We have to recognise that most Lanarkshire referees, at least 90% of them enter football, supporting of having supported one member of the Old Firm... and there's no denying that. What happens to the referee in a split second that a player goes down in the penalty box? If he is a Rangers supporter - and the player is a Ranger - the referee...... still sees that incident as a supporter!"
Celtic Chairman Bob Kelly
"If it was up to me our application to join the English league would be made tomorrow."

"I was told when I joined this club about Celtic's paranoia - now I know it's true. We are hard done by religiously and politically. There are people against us.... I meet people who hate me just because I am manager of Celtic."
Liam Brady after being appointed Celtic manager in 1991
"To get nine bookings? I think there's only one man to ask about that. It's time to start singing that old song again. 'That's why were paranoid.'"Celtic manager Gordon Strachan after referee Mike McCurry cautioned nine Celtic players during Rangers' 3-0 win at Ibrox in October 2008.
"These are articles about me are written by, in my opinion, people who sympathise with Rangers. The Scottish media in general seems to favour our rivals. They are lauded for their feats in the UEFA cup and the league. I'm convinced if Celtic had been in the same situation there wouldn't be the same reaction."
Celtic Goalkeeper Artur Boruc goes on the attack about Rangers bias in the media after he was slated for showing off a 'God bless the pope' T-shirt following an Old Firm win in April 2008.
"Do I think I am treated differently from everyone else? Yes, I do. But, again, that’s maybe me being me. Other people might tell me differently. Six games for the original incident at Hearts I felt was a gross overreaction. I think the way I am portrayed in certain quarters of the media (is wrong). I had it as a player. I was not a dirty player — far from it. I had a good disciplinary record. Am I the only manager who criticises referees? Sometimes it has felt that way this season."

Im not saying the SFA are anti-Celtic but they are defenatly pro-Hun
