Sport should be a level playing field

The policy of this blog is not to say that any referee, nor any other football official in Scotland, is biased, incompetent, corrupt or dishonest. This is merely a record of any inconsistencies or coincidences which appear to favour one club over others. If such a record does show systematic inconsistencies which favour one club over others then we call for an independent and impartial inquiry into Scottish football to investigate these irregularities.

In recent years Italian football has suffered a corruption scandal, with the 2006 Calciopoli case, the Romanian league has suffered from match fixing, as has German football, Belgian football has endured a betting scandal, and there are ongoing investigations in the conduct of major teams like FC Porto for match fixing in the Portuguese league.

There is nothing to suggest that Scottish football should automatically be considered a special case insulated from these trends witnessed in other European leagues in recent years. If there is a pattern of inconsistency and coincidences in Scottish football then similar questions ought to be raised about why such irregularities are happening.

Where is your report on Mike McCurry's performance at Ibrox in a game where Dundee United felt so strongly about the referee's decisions that their manager and, most unusually their chairman (and not a raving looney of a chairman like Romanov), felt the need to comment on the referee after the match to the extent that the manager was heavily sanctioned by the SFA?

I think it's all best if we just face the facts. Scottish football is a special case - it is a well known fact, in certain circles, that the referees in our once great wee country have been seduced by the Scarlet Whore of Rome and his endless bribes.

I was just the other day informed of how referees who gave favouable decisions to Celtic would recieve gifts from the Antichrist worshipping inhabitants of Vatican City (e.g a bit of the ceiling from the Sistine Chapel).

The Popish trickery which we once purged from our blessed British shores has returned. Only this time not in the form of Guy Fawkes and his conspirators, or even a Jacobite army - but in the form of Scottish football referees and other officials.

For now We Are the People, but if we aren't careful, we might not be for long. This blog is a step in the right direction, keep up the great work.
