Most organisations are trying refresh their organisations at the trustee level by implementing 2 x 3 year terms of office and only exceptionally would a third 3 year term be allowed. Seems odd that Governments interfere with charitable bodies but would not dream of shaking up any other type of organisation.
Wonder if there is a database of referree decisions analysed by whether they favoured a team or went against a team. All OF games against each other might be most interesting. Imagine ref A has a statistically calculate bias against Celtic and for Rangers. Would it be reasonable to assume that if there was a similar statistical favouring of say Rangers then perhaps there us merit in the widely held view that refs favour the old firm. By calculating the bias shown in games between Celtic and Rangers it would be a measure for their performance in the other games they referee.

Having most of the "pundits" as either ex Celtic or rangers or known alligiences either way dosent help either.

Most of the complaints are either ignored or laughed off by the so called experts.

Miller is particularly dismissive of all complaints

Stewart actually suggested var wud have taken into account tug block came slightly after block.......no chance they even looked at that none .......never mind taking it into account.

But the provincial teams never stick together they all just scramble for the crumbs at old firm table.

The radio punditry is at pantomime levels, noticed Judas big lugs back on.....why.....ex rangers management failure.....and one of the "gang"......Bonner, miller and English will be there spouting guff till they keel over.

Kenny Miller was at Dens Park last Saturday I assume as a pundit. I saw him at halftime coming from the tea and coffee stall in the Main stand.

Fortunately Bobby Madden has now retired as a football referee.
He got found out refereeing in the lower divisions of the EFL and retired a year early.

Surely a foul committed in the penalty box should result in a penalty even if it means lots of penalties being awarded in a game.
Eventually players and referees will realise that they have to adhere to the rules

A foul in the box IS a penalty.

Players are thick if they think they can get away with jersey pulling in box.

When i played (many moon's ago) you didn't hold,block or pull jersey's in the box, instant penalty.

I think forwards try to block off defenders in the penalty box. It's been like that for as long as I can remember. Laws are being abused by both sets of players. Rugby league rewrote their scrimmage laws because it was impossible to stop cheating. Maybe obstruction in the penalty box needs to be redefined?

Every foul in the penalty box by the defending team should be a penalty even if it means having a dozen penalties in a game.
Eventually the number of penalties being awarded would soon dry up as players would soon learn to defend without conceding fouls in their own penalty box.
