Human beings have evolved to live in societies, small and large, families and workplaces. There are reasons for this, one of them is survival, if we cannot live in a society then we will be cut off from others and, like it or not, we need others.
There are those who can do this in a very limited basis, they can interact with only a small number of people and not really care how that goes either way, and thrive, but they are the outliers, the unusual, most of us need to feel accepted within our societal groups and subgroups.
We learn this as teenagers. Its basic psychology and sociology and it is all over the animal kingdom, in any species that has packs or groups.
Within those groups we learn what behaviours we must show, and not show, to be part of the group and, furthermore, be successful in the group and, possibly, become one of the respected few.
Take the domesticated dog, we all love dogs, but at their core they are Wolves, their DNA has not changed, and they still hold all the behavioural aspects of Wolves however Human Beings have domesticated them, how? Well in our hunter-gatherer days Wolves saw that we discarded food, so they stayed close to human groups, they learned that killing humans would mean they would not be allowed to follow the group, they also learned that if they protected the humans, then the humans would provide more food, and warmth.
Wolves exhibited the behaviours towards humans to be accepted in the group and they have thrived, as you may be able to see with your pooch sprawled across your bed while you and your partner are curled up at the top of the bed. Who doesn’t love dogs, right?
My point is that all animals, human beings especially, adapt to our society to ensure that we behave in the way we are expected to.
Which brings me to referees, the SFA and the SPFL.
Last Sunday John Beaton and Nick Walsh ensured they behaved in the way they were expected to ensure that their place in their society was not challenged, Beaton awarded all he could towards them and against Celtic, Walsh ensured that Beaton was referred to the monitor, with limited information to give the best possible chance that penalty would be awarded, likely with audio instructions to say why he should give it.
We now have evidence that VAR’s can override an on-field decision when they do not have evidence to do so as they did with Aberdeen’s chopped off goal.
We have evidence of patterns of assistance towards one club in this league.
These people are behaving in ways they are expected to, to ensure they get big games and European games along with the jobs within the SFA, Crawford Allan, and other industries when they retire.
To paraphrase George Carlin “you do not need an official document or meeting for a conspiracy to exist, when they are members of the same clubs and boards, they know what is good for them” Which includes secret societies, and yes, I am absolutely referring to the Masons, to paraphrase again “If you want to know who has control, ask who you cannot mention or criticise”.
All of which applies to all societies, apart from Scottish football!!!!
That is also what is happening with the Dundee issue. If this rearranged game was against any other team, especially Celtic, the whole of Scottish football would say “meh, it will get played why does it matter?” however as it involves the rancid club in Govan it is a bigger issue than the current wars in the news. The SPFL is doing its best to get that game away from Dens Park.
Once again, their inability to beat us, and their embarrassment and shame of claiming and celebrating it as a victory, has quickly been diverted away to something else, they, of course, released a statement, talking about rules, yet they want rules made up so they can get an advantage, the points being awarded to them, playing away from Dens, at their dilapidated and unsafe stadium, or a neutral venue.
It’s how they play the game, they know they can’t beat us on the pitch, they see that, even when we are being cheated, we are a better team than them so its pressure time, so they need an unfair advantage in the other games and the referees are not enough.
Watch what happens in their run-in games, see what decisions they get and what happens in ours, does anyone believe that we will get our games, especially them, Hearts and Kilmarnock called fair?
I expect Nick Walsh, John Beaton, and Andrew Dallas all to be involved in those games.
Despite the posturing of Ibrox, and the cheating, we are now in pole position, I am confident, as I have always been, that we will win the title.
Despite their behaviours, we are just too good.
