One of the officials was apparently heard to clearly say, "penalty" three times and the referee ignored him...

There's footage of it. If you play it backwards he's actually saying "F--- the Pope! F--- the Pope!"

All that to me only highlights why he couldn't have intentionally cheated them
All the excuses are there to point the finger right at him
He's hardly inconspicuous

Why would he have to be inconspicuous?
The SFA will back him all the way, they always do.

He handled the ball, he stopped a certain goal, he should have been sent off anyway if the ref had any balls, so he would have missed the game anyway. He admitted after the game to what happened, he said he "handled the ball 100%". If this happened with LFC v EFC in a semi in Wembley and we found out that the ref was on a jolly with the rs preseason, I would be absolutely fuming!!!

The Liverpool player wouldn't get banned though, I guarantee you

Meekings is getting banned because he plays for Caley and a bigger more marketable team have thrown their toys out of the pram

No, he's getting banned because it was a penalty and he should have been sent off, the SFA have done it as an apology because it looks as if either the Ref was incompetent or cheating.
But at the end of the day it changes nothing, Celtic didn't get the penalty, he wasn't sent off in the match and the Ref will not be punished.

Celtic got a poor deal. Can't see why they can't complain about it.

Chrissakes, there's enough older Evertonians moaning that the Kaiser and Hitler put paid to our chances of becoming bigger than Barca.

they didn't technically complain. they just asked for clarification of the rules which would have shown the ref to either be incompetent or a cheat.

I think we can all agree that Rangers are English flag waving bigoted wankstains and it's been brilliant to watch their demise in the last few years.

They complained in the guise of asking for clarification
