O'Dea says officials need help
Controversy continues to rage following the dismissal of Hoops' skipper Scott Brown by referee Dougie McDonald in the Old Firm defeat at Ibrox last week and the rejection of his subsequent appeal.[LNB]Celtic fans were already angry with decisions in the previous two games against Rangers which they believed had gone against their team.[LNB]However, O'Dea, 23, speaking ahead of Sunday's trip to Falkirk, said: "I'm just sick of hearing so much about referees.[LNB]"It's a game of football and I don't believe for a second that referees go out to influence games for either team.[LNB]"But they are all making mistakes, not just ore is no agenda there, I just think they need some help.[LNB]"I don't know what to do but it needs to be addressed.[LNB]"I could name three or four decisions that have gone against us this season but I'm sure if you go to Rangers they will tell you the same, I'm sure any SPL team will say that.[LNB]"Mistakes are getting made in every game in every league.[LNB]"I watch mistakes in England and Spain.[LNB]"They need help because there are too many big games getting decided by bad decisions."[LNB]Falkirk striker Enoch Showunmi, who made his debut in the 1-1 draw between the teams in January, scored his first goal for the club in their last home match against Aberdeen and believes they are heading in the right direction.[LNB]"It was a baptism of fire making my debut at Celtic Park but it was a great performance from the boys and a well-deserved point," the 27-year-old said.[LNB]"Before I came up here I spoke to Steven Pressley and he said they liked to play football.[LNB]"I saw them on TV a couple of times before I came up and it showed they were a team that wanted to get the ball down and play, so that was one of the reasons I came up.[LNB]"We have always been in games and tried to do the right things.[LNB]"Obviously some results haven't gone our way but with the belief the players have, we should do well.[LNB]"We are trying to settle into a pattern of play. Obviously I've just played eight or nine games and the team is getting to know my strengths and weaknesses. I'm getting to know other players' strengths and weaknesses.[LNB]"The new gaffer has come in and tinkered with our formation and that takes a bit of time to bed in."[LNB][LNB][LNB] Falkirk v Celtic.
