Does anyone remember this incident from 2012?

***Hibbyradge*** · 23-03-2017 09:42 AM

This popped up as a memory on my FB, but I can't remember what Lennon wss talking about or the outcome of McCall's appeal.

He talks about the decision costing Celtic the treble, but it can't have been the SC final. Maybe FB have the date wrong.

Can anyone shed any light on it?

. A memory from 2012

Consistency

Quite delighted to see Stuart McCall refusing to take the offered one match ban from the SFA after his "outburst" at the Scottish Cup game vs Aberdeen last weekend.

There is absolutely no level of consistency with which managers are being hauled over the coals in relation to their comments/interactions with referees - an example:

The result of the above was a 2 match ban.

I have only just seen the incident again there on the TV five or ten minutes ago from every angle. So how he can make that decision from where he was I don't know. To rub salt in the wounds he books Anthony for diving, which is awful. Awful refereeing."

The result of the above? Nothing. No discussions, no comments from the SFA - nada. As a result of this, Willie Collum has been subject of a barrage of sectarian abuse and threats on Twitter

He has now been asked today 5 days later to explain his comments.

The double standards are sickening.

League Cup final against Kilmarnock.

**~~My_Wife_Camille~~** · 23-03-2017 09:55 AM

League Cup Final v Kilmarnock, 18th march 2012 probably

Don't know about McCall incident but Lennon's complaint was about not getting a last minute penalty against the dogs in Scottish Cup semi. Celtic lost 2 1.

That wasn't until April. This was about the League cup final against Kilmarnock in March. IIRC correctly it was two of our former players involved, Michael Nelson fouling Tony Stokes, but Collum gave nothing.
