When Neil Lennon was attacked at swinecastle I was amazed when the case fell apart, because of not enough evidence would you believe. This in front of a huge number of armchair fans and a full house in the ground.
Now, again, we have another shocker. How on earth can Cifti escape a ban? Again in front of a TV audience and a big crowd.It has been replayed to death and de-constructed by everyone. Jaysus, there is even a pic on twi**ter of Broonie's head with blood from the boot!
Despite this he walks.Astonishing.

Ciffi chose his target wisely, he knew by trying to remove the Celtic's captain head that the compliance Commitee would give him all benefit of doubt .

Scott Brown's tackle although meaty, was legit as he got the ball. Cifti retaliated with the studs to Broonies head. The clown in black then lost the plot. Jackie Mcnamara is a deluded little fool who needs to look at his own player's antics before acting lord executioner for our lads.
Yet another ex player with a chip on his shoulder, getting sick of these muppets.

They spared VVD as a sweetener, so as to avoid enforcing further sanctions on Utd with the three games coming up.
It also makes 'Honest mistake' Thomson and his linesman look even more ridiculous and incompetent prior to the replay.
I hope this motivates the players even more for the final and Scott Brown leads us to victory.

Ciftci is destined to sign for the new club from the south side in the next few years . He is already morphing into a hybrid of Nacho Novo and El Hadj Diouf

Can I ask does anyone know the rules these days regarding tackling? (Edd?)I don't think you can't go in with studs showing.If you do and get the ball is it legal or if you go in with studs showing but get the ball cleanly is it still deamed a foul because studs were showing irelevant of wether you get the ball or not. i'm just interested to know. Thanks markie

You couldn't make it up. I can only assume this panel must have been given pictures from a different match.
I would like to know why they keep going against their own compliance official, who views the same incidents, yet they keep overturning his decisions.
Referees can make mistakes because of the speed the match is played at, and it's only right that mistakes are put right later, but the compliance official you would think, watches an incident time and again before coming to a decision.
Do the SFA think their official is incompetent?, or have they got their own agenda?, I think we can make an educated guess on that one.

The Lennon case fell to bits because some person decided to charge the guy with sectarian assault and then couldn't prove the guy called him a fenian b****** before he hit him. Total joke, still gets my back up! Just do the person for general assault and get him locked up where he obviously belongs

The establishment need a strong Dundee Utd to stop Rd giving us Celtic fans the treble.
We should not be surprised by this decision, as always let us show our class and beat all teams before us even with there 12th man.
Hail Hail

To expect a referee or his assistant to see the difference between studs shown in a tackle and studs not shown . The assistant couldn't read the number on the back of the top of the Dundee Utd player he was pulling away from the fracas .
Is the Compliance Committee not ashamed of itself that the Dundee United played that dived for the penalty wasn't at least cited .
Surely the fact that they were unable to convict that real hard Manchester United striker (head kicker) shows how cowardly they are .

Im still none the wiser to the rules regarding studs showing. Either nobody knows or Broonies tackle was illegal and we don't want to admit that. If he goes though the player with studs showing but cleanly gets the ball and not the man, is this deemed a foul? Just interested before I start moaning about all the other stuff as it kina looks to me that the ref and his aasistants have bodged the whole thing on both sides. Markie
