Daniel Bachmann moans about Celtic red card decision

Kilmarnock goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann has claimed that Celtic get all the decisions, after Kirk Broadfoot’s red card yesterday.

The Killie number one had a decent match against Celtic yesterday. Despite not having much to do, he was commanding enough and did well to stop an Odsonne Edouard strike minutes into the match.

In the end, he was beaten by Scott Brown’s deflected goal. That only came, however, after Broadfoot was shown a straight red card for a studs-showing challenge on the Celtic skipper.

But despite that, Bachmann has insinuated the decision was typical. Speaking to Superscoreboard after the game, the Killie number one had this to say:

“It’s just the same every time we play these teams, you know? Whether it’s a penalty or red card you just have to get used to it.

“You never get the little decisions either. Every time they hit the deck it’s a free-kick. Every team they play against is the same, it’s not just us.

“It’s just something you have to get used to.”

Don’t let the right decision get in the way of a good moan

Bachmann may have been rubbing his eyes at the time, but he should have a quick look at the Broadfoot challenge again when he gets a minute.

Even though he was referring to both Celtic and Rangers (not just the Hoops), he clearly doesn’t care if the Broadfoot decision is correct – only that it went against Killie.

Broadfoot’s challenge on Brown was a shocker, and a potential leg-breaker. Hardly any attempt was made to get the ball, and he goes through the Celtic captain with his studs showing. It’s difficult to moan about it when you watch the incident again – which you can view here.

It’s also no surprise Bachmann believes that Killie get a lot of decisions against them. The fact they like to barge into opposition players with little care will see them earn their fair share of fouls against.

Killie are an abrasive and combative team, and good luck to them. There’s nothing wrong with their approach, and Steve Clarke deserves sensational credit for his performance.

But did Celtic win due to a bad decision? No. Were we lucky? Absolutely. But spare us the moaning afterwards, Broadfoot was the architect of Killie’s downfall and nobody else.
