I really do think people are too quick to speak about a "Rangers bias". Surely it's an Old Firm bias?

No, historically it's most definitely a Rangers bias. It's been going on for years. Celtic certainly do get some favourable decisions but not necessarily that much more than any other team.

This season, certainly towards the closing stages, it's become apparent that the "powers that be" wish the SPL climax to ape that of the Premier League. So Celtic have had an edge as well, i.e that incident against Aberdeen, in the run in.

As long as I can remember, from a purely Aberdeen point of view, it's been fairly even. Anyone remember Derek Whyte's sending off back in about 2000 for example?

I always think Rangers have more of an influence at a higher level, i.e. leaning on the SFA/SPL, but Celtic just about match them for ridiculous refereeing decisions. And not just for big, memorable ones, but every single minor call going their way, particularly at Parkhead.

Maybe there is a slight Rangers bias overall, but it's not so significant that Celtic shouldn't stop their pitiful whining.

I watched the highlights of the Aberdeen game last night and i wish i hadn't.
It was clearly a goal, if we'd lost by being outplayed it wouldn't be so bad, but in having a valid goal that would have put us in the lead disallowed i can't stop thinking that we could have won it and then carried on and got back into europe (yeah we would have needed to beat rangers but knowing us we could have).

Sounds like the SPL officials had a good one at the weekend. Potentially losing a UEFA spot due to bad decisions is, well, grrrrrrr

nowt we can do now but something has to be done about this for the future as it becoming farcical by the game... For all teams (outside of the OF)
