St Johnstone player took a swipe I’d say. Not even mentioned by Tam Miller I believe
The play just before this was a foul on Goldson then st j player falls over and gets a foulCouldnt watch the game properly, just caught a reply for 2 secs.... What happened there?
Even, allowing for the piss poor standard of refereeing in SPL , he's completely out of his depth, he's embarrassing and clueless. Give the whistle to MacGregor, he'll ref the game alright. Willie Miller did at Pittodrie for years, some of his decisions were diabolical but he was still better than that galoot Anderson.The truth is Anderson shouldn’t be a top league official
He is dreadful
He is out of his comfort zone on a football pitch. Never looks as though he knows what he is doing or why he is even there.The truth is Anderson shouldn’t be a top league official
He is dreadful
Some really strange and wrong decisions by this inept clown. The first penalty incident,he gave a goal kick changed it to a penalty for some sinister reason.Went over to the linesman and changed it to a goal kick.Why? He saw it was a goal kick.He must have asked the linesman to dig him out a hole by pretending to talk to him about the incident.The truth is Anderson shouldn’t be a top league official

He was woeful but, surely if that was his objective, he'd have given not 1 but 3 penalties?Some really strange and wrong decisions by this inept clown.

He looked determined to ensure we would not win last night.
The first one he knew he made a chunt ot it.The handball he looked like he was going to give it He got his goal at the end of the game.He was woeful but, surely if that was his objective, he'd have given not 1 but 3 penalties?
The first "penalty" cannot be a penalty as it hit Wright's hand after making contact with another part of his body. so to award it, after initially giving a goal kick was ludicrous. Thankfully he was set straight by the assistant.He got the first one right initially, but was told by his linesman it was no pen. To be fair to Anderson on this occasion, he listened to the guy who supposedly had a better view of it, and that’s what we’d hope a ref did. Fact is though, the linesman was wrong, Anderson correct, and if that had been us attacking we’d all be going nuts about not getting the penalty.
The arm by the side one could have gone either way and again if it was us attacking we’d want it, defending we’d hope it wasn’t given, but seen them given.
Roofe through on goal looked 50/50 between him and defender, perhaps we never got the decision cos Anderson realised he’d screwed up by listening to the linesman before.
And the one he did give was really soft, evening-up for the earlier miss, but avoidable by Simpson who didn‘t have to do it. Again, we’d have screamed for it if it was us, but we couldn‘t have complained if we hadn‘t got it.
For me the biggest criticism we should have of Anderson wasn’t about the penalties but about the fouls and bookings, the ones we got and they didn’t. I don’t put him in the same category as Clancy though, he’s just a cheat.
FWIW, Tom the Comm did indeed mention a 'bit of a kick-out'. It was a 'nothing' incident in all honesty.
He is just not confident enough in his own abilities and doubts himself hence the shitfest that follows him.Some really strange and wrong decisions by this inept clown.

Agreed. The bar is set very low in Scottish refereeing and he still falls below it.The truth is Anderson shouldn’t be a top league official

Was enough for hagi to react then get booked forFWIW, Tom the Comm did indeed mention a 'bit of a kick-out'. It was a 'nothing' incident in all honesty.
I don’t believe he did get booked at that incident.Was enough for hagi to react then get booked for
Anyone know what Kamara was angry about at the touchline in the 2nd half. Watched the game online without sound. Seemed very angry about something and strangely enough or not he got a yellow card
Highlighted by the fact that the SFA don’t have any officials at the euros this summer.Agreed. The bar is set very low in Scottish refereeing and he still falls below it.
Not corrupt, just woefully incompetent
Cheers.I thought someone may have made a snidey comment to him. Don't see him get angry a lot.St Johnstone player had a hold of his shirt and wouldn't let go. I think it wasn't long after the penalty farce so their players were in a bad fettle.
He kicked him - penaltyThe first "penalty" cannot be a penalty as it hit Wright's hand after making contact with another part of his body. so to award it, after initially giving a goal kick was ludicrous. Thankfully he was set straight by the assistant.
Likewise it looks from some angles that the "handball" with Simpson is from it hitting his chest first.
The one he did give? What did Simpson do that was avoidable as he didn't make any contact with the player?
