SCOTTISH REFEREES THREATEN STRIKE BUT SHOULDN'T THEY SACK ONE OF THEIR OWN?

Picked up a Scottish newspaper recently and saw Celtic manager Neil Lennon ranting at the referee.English newspapers had more of the same from Premier League and Championship managers.Not a word of their own players shortcomings.But thats par for the course...and its getting very predictable and boring! The Scottish referees have clearly had enough and are threatening strike action.But they would have more credibility if they sacked Dougie McDonald who admits he lied to Lennon.McDonald's decision to rescind a penalty to Celtic in their away match to Dundee United last month led to his fib...but the SFA have yet to take any action about McDonald.If managers continue to slag off the standard of referees north and south of the border then future officials of top standard will be hard to encourage.The League Managers Association are quick to issue statements on their members behalf.Its about time now that they encouraged them to show more respect for the officials.Without them there would be anarchy.That's why I have sympathy for the Scottish refs-their integrity is being questioned and that's why they now must also sack McDonald.No double standards,eh?
