[QUOTE="SoundMan, post: 7166887, member: 28532"] And Andy Walker has a vested interest in portraying Scottish football as not being corrupt given that he's making his money commentating on it. Even other commentators accept the logic of Refs having to state their club allegiance, as they do in England for instance, so that they don't ref matches that involves their favourite club. Andy Walker didn't seem to be in favour of even that. In the past refs could actually apply to ref particular games in Scotland. That's how open to abuse it's been. And some subsequently bragged of how they'd done Rangers FC favours as refs. And Walker's "there can't be any corruption because Celtic have dominated the Scottish game over the last decade" type excuse is risible. Celtic have dominated in Scotland DESPITE some atrocious refereeing decisions aiding one opponent club in particular, not because Celtic have benefited over the piece from refereeing decisions. I saw an interesting review of penalty awards online Penalty differentials for dominant teams over the last six seasons: Real Madrid +15 Barcelona +12 Bayern +10 PSG +22 Juventus +6 Celtic +8 Rangers +33 One wonders how the red cards count would go as well.
