The news that Crawford Allan has resigned as the SFA Head of Referees will come as no great surprise.
The controversy surrounding the application of VAR has put the former SFA man under an intense amount of pressure and after the Tynecastle shambles, serious questions are now being raised about the refereeing technology.
This site told how Celtic are going to vigorously pursue Brendan Rodgers’ charge after the Celtic manager heavily criticised John Beaton and Don Robertson over their handling of the Hearts game.
And it seems now that that was the straw that broke the camels back as Allan stands down from his role.
But it has been highlighted this afternoon that there is an unusual coincidence between the date that Allan started his role with the SFA and the number of games that Rangers went without conceding a penalty.
Have a look at these stats:
Now let me be clear, this site is not suggesting any wrongdoing on Allan’s part here but the stats do suggest that whilst he has been in charge, the inconsistency of his referees applying the laws of the game is fairly damning.
And it’s a coincidence that these inconsistencies seem to have favoured the Ibrox club with a tremendous number of patterns of assistance.
Now that Allan has stepped down and a new person is likely to stand in, will these coincidences now cease? We shall see but if they do, some would suggest that it really is a bad reflection of how the referees were run under his watch. Some would, but not me.
