Former top whistler Steve Conroy runs the rule over the big calls – and the verdict isn’t pretty for the man fast-tracked to the top due to his dad, but who has been at the centre of refereeing controversies all season.
Penalty 1. Verdict: YES
The only thing going through my mind if I’m a ref looking at that is that it’s brainless defending. No shadow of a doubt it’s a spot-kick
Penalty 2. Verdict: NO
I don’t see any contact. If anything the defender’s foot is on the ground before Jermain Defoe goes down. Being polite, you’d say he was trying to avoid contact. With a player of his experience, I’m thinking not only is it not a penalty, he should be cautioned for simulation.
Penalty 3. Verdict: NO
People seem to think the debate here is inside or outside the box. For me, that’s irrelevant. It’s not even a handball offence.he defender doesn’t have his arms in an unnatural position and, far from making himself bigger, he’s actually trying to get smaller. It’s not a deliberate handball, it’s the assistant’s call, not the ref’s. Even if he does think it’s a handball, you have to be utterly convinced it’s in the box there to give it, and I don’t see how he can be.
Penalty 4. Verdict: NO
This one is definitely Dallas’ call, although the assistant can offer an opinion. Again you have to be sure it’s inside the box to give it. I think it’s obvious enough it’s outside for him to have seen it and not awarded it. My gut would be to caution the player for diving into the box to make it look like a penalty.
Nepotism always messes things up.
Four penalties : Verdict

It’s very plainly obvious that if Celtic don’t win 10IAR it’ll be down to the old Protestant Masonic conspiracy.
This is just the warm up.
1. Put brother Beaton in against Celtic to test the water
2. Make sure the beloved gers’ goal difference is at an appropriate level, regardless of how many penalties it takes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s like Zico with punctuation
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My punctuation..? Please explain.
Anyway... FOUR PENALTIES in the one match awarded by a Rangers supporting Referee.
Please don't insist this is normal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is factually incorrect. Typical of a Celtic fan foaming at the thought of a conspiracy.
Dallas awarded three. He gave a free kick for the third, which the linesman advised also involved ha fling inside the box and should be a pen.

Zico ever thought about politics? Fabulous swerve.

No mate.
I've learned a lot on here.
Deflect, ignore, deny.
Move the goalposts whenever threatened.
Never admit you're wrong.

You have learned well sir

Good lad, now you're learning eh?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've never been a teacher but I think a comma might be positioned after learning.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, that would be silly, like Duke has demonstrated.

I'll get the hang of comma's one day. Then I'll move on to apostrophe 101. If I get the hang of that I might even try semi colon correct usage.
