It's inevitable in Scotland that whatever referee we get for an OF game will have a leaning to one of us over the other.
The issue is how it manifests itself.
A Celtic leaning ref will favour them (even if it is subconscious) without fear of being sanctioned or overly criticised.
A Rangers leaning ref will be so heavily scrutinised that he could lose his job by giving us a favourable decision. In many cases it looks like, to appear beyond reproach, they have to actually favour them when there is any contentious decisions.
It's lose/lose for us which makes it all the more incredible that we've actually won more titles than them.

It's as good as handed the title to them this season so job done as far as they are concerned. It's every game against them now it's got that bad yet you'll still have some sticking up for the refs.
If they can't do their job fairly due to intimidation then they should stand aside. Can you imagine it was it was the other way around and they had three perfectly good goals disallowed among other major decisions (particularly red cards where refs refuse to give them a second booking)?

We fall for it every time I believe the team take their eye off the ball

Yeah a lot of people focus on the games we ballsed up and its tough to argue but some forget/ignore the tims have also struggled against these sides and have had an average season too, they make mistakes and play poorly as well. It does not have to be a great season with wonderful football to be successful in Scotland remember big Eck 2nd time and even some seasons during 9 in a row.
I think inside the Celtic boardroom they know the refereeing for them is excellent but ofcourse they are not going to moan if tim podcasts and media are shouting about Rangers penalties all the time and hinting that all refs support Rangers.
The rousing ref speeches posters on here do before these games is utterly pathetic, i have watched these games for years and even when we had a great team and they were pesh the refs decisions were important. You often dont hear from these guys after the match.

was Albertz scoring in their "shame game" the last penalty we've had at the Paul Gadd dome?
ah it's the 2010 game isn't it? the Broadfoot foul
