Even when they are out of the game, they still can’t hide their bias.
Take Keith Hackett for example.
A former referee paid by Ibrox News as a columnist is now passing judgement on the Celtic captain whilst pretending to be impartial in Football Insider.
Speaking about the captain and yesterdays tackle on Joe Aribo, Hackett said, “In fairness, that was a yellow card offence.
“It’s just balance. Fans are fans, they’ve all got a view and are their view of the referee’s performance is influenced by the outcome of the game and the result.
“My default position is that this kid, Willie Collum and one or two others are good referees who can deliver these games and that’s what they’ve done.
“In fairness, both referees were in control from start to finish and that’s a credit to them.”
Let’s just laugh at the Callum McGregor ‘ban’ because we all know there should have been a couple of red cards dished out to Rangers yesterday and I am assuming from his last comment he believes Madden was in control of his bladder and not the game yesterday because everyone, and I mean everyone, knows he had a shocker!
These types of articles do nothing but embarrass the refereeing fraternity further in Scotland. Especially when it’s one written by a referee with no impartiality.
