That clown v Union at home was one of the worst I’ve ever seen.The overall standard of refereeing in Scotland is below par.
To be fair, we've also had some mentalists in European matches as well.
Not sure if he is the best but he is miles ahead of most of them.And yet still the best referee in the spfl
Except out offside goal?He was honking today and can’t remember one decision he gave in our favour, usual bog standard refereeing in our league petrified to be scrutinised on sportcene
So who would you say was the best?Not sure if he is the best but he is miles ahead of most of them.
Ok well you speak about Celtic fans in every post, we dont need to have met them all anyway to know they have 0 to moan about when it comes to refereeing. Even one bad call against them would be reported by the press.Fortunately I don’t know any of that lot so wouldn’t be influenced by them. I haven’t heard the drivel on Radio Clyde since about 2000 so all my thoughts are my own. I thought last week their player was fortunate not to get a red and clearly so did Martindale. Wasn’t as convinced by the second yellow yesterday but at the same time his first yellow could have been red. We got the benefit of a tight call for Colak and they got the benefit of a tight one where the keeper came out the box. Football is riddled with mistakes by player’s, managers and supporters. Refs in my view make the least and are under the most scrutiny. You see marginal decisions played back about 10 times and more often than not they made the right call.
We know what team the bold Nick supports that’s the reason.Guy pulls back Tillman when on the break. Free kick only. Goldson does the same, yellow straight out. Why the disparity???
It happens all the time to Rangers.Guy pulls back Tillman when on the break. Free kick only. Goldson does the same, yellow straight out. Why the disparity???
Yeah I found that a strange one as well. I said to my mate why didn’t he have the water break at the time of the substitutions? Apart from that nothing major to reportWhen Rangers made the triple substitution he waited for the 3 players to walk off from different parts of the pitch and for the 3 subs to run on.
Took about a minute.
As soon as they were on he blew for the drinks break.
Me speaking about Celtic fans !! I might have said I detest their IRA songs a few times. I might have said I don’t have any need to talk to any as I have none that are friends or in my extended family. I think you are definitely mixing me up on that one .Ok well you speak about Celtic fans in every post, we dont need to have met them all anyway to know they have 0 to moan about when it comes to refereeing.

Offsides are always tough that is not the same as the way the cards are used by the officials on the pitch, and i think you know that. Ofcourse now an offside has gone our way it will be used 100x over in every thread about refs(even tho its not a refs call) to prove we are getting just as many lucky decisions as the rest.
My point is that even if we accept Walsh is the best ref, even if hes the most honest which i say without doubt he is, he still decided in that match to give them the benefit of the doubt and allow the player to be subbed. Thats twice now. If Goldson makes a 2nd tactical foul what happens ?
Are Celtic using the same rules where the ref helps the opposition to keep 11 on the pitch ? i would take a guess and say no cos theres too much chance of any referee getting the treatment from the media if that happens and many pundits will point to the gap between the 2 top sides and the rest and suggest goal difference could be crucial.
The last time i spoke to you on here were you and a few of others that defend refs not suggesting Kevin Clancy was cheating at Aberdeen ?
Momentum took Tillman off the pitch and he had to leap the advertising board to avoid clattering into it.When a celtic player didn't get booked for doing it last week it was a sign of cheating by the ref.
The SJ physio’s were on the pitch for a full minute plus the water break never mind the time wasting & play acting.I'd genuinely like him to have to justify his 2 mins injury time in the first half. It might seem like a negligible thing, but if we're being diddled out of just 2 mins per game, that's 76 mins over the course of the season. Think of the number of goals scored towards the end of games when teams are knackered, and translate that into points/goal difference. It could have a massive say in the title race.
Madden was our best ref.
Imo, a lot of the excuses sound like the sort of stuff our rivals would come out with, some of it does not even make sense. Id also say that its odd that comments about bias are so offensive and upsetting yet none of you are going anywhere near the thread on Beaton which has far worse opinions on the refs than suggesting Walsh changed his mind and done Saints a favour.These threads and the majority of the comments are embarrassing and 100% Tim like patter.
The keeper didn’t have the ball outside the box and the Colak one was never a penalty.
Given the second was offside we got the rub of the green on decisions today. EDIT: Yesterday, fucking hell
Who would you say was/is a better referee in scotland?He was absolutely terrified of them and had a hard-on for Morelos.

I never said they were great though.Better is too strong a word when there's no good option. It's like the Tory leadership contest. All of them are shit or corrupt in some way.
They also showed the replay on RTV clearly showing it wasn't outside the box. And regardless of whether we've "seen them given", it simply wasn't a penalty.They mentioned on RTV it looked outside and we’ve seen soft pens been given for those challanges, outside the box is that a free kick? Probably…
The ball was played back for the second so cant be offside? I’d hardly say we got the rub of the green TBH.

Only that madden was the best referee we had.
Haha ok least worst il take thatLeast worst, I'll give you that. But they got to him bigtime. He'll do well outside of Scotland.

The direction the ball was played in is irrelevant for an offside decision. Colak was ahead of the ball and the second-last defender when it was played. Therefore he was offside.
Like I said, we got the rub of the green because when it came to the one big decision in the whole game, it fell in our favour.
When a celtic player didn't get booked for doing it last week it was a sign of cheating by the ref.
No.St. Johnstone also got the rub of the green then when the referee never sent off Montgomery for a blatant second yellow then?
Would you class that as another big decision?
You I still prefer men said that if you were choking for a halftime pishIt didn’t influence the result, but how do they get 2 minutes of injury time at the end of the first half? There was a St J player down for 90 seconds, he then got substituted (30 seconds?), a 2 minutes water break, another St J player down, Scott Wright down and a bit of time wasting. There should easily have been 5+ minute of injury time. Sure it was hot and the players might have been happy to go in at HT. But it shouldn’t be for the officials to decide just to shorten a game. Instead they should be adding the time and applying the rules.
That's not what I posted makes me sound like a shirtlifterYou I still prefer men said that if you were choking for a halftime pish
Personal lifestyle????He is an RC who works in a multi faith school because he won't get promotion in a sectarian RC school because of his personal lifestyle
I would have thought that nasty bias ref would have jumped at the chance to book him though.Were you at the game
Tillman had to hurdle the hoardings due to his momentum and ended up beside the crowd.
the Celtic player actively ran in to the crowd to celebrate
pretty weird comment in all honesty
trying to compare apples and pears
hes a "friend of dorothy"Personal lifestyle????
The fans should be screaming every single home game when keepers are wasting time over goalkicks/ball in their handKeeper running about outside the box with the ball in his hand
The push on matondo in the box followed by a pass back
Bizarre refereeing
This difference is frequently seen between how Rangers are refereed and their opponents - much more leeway is afforded to them. These instances are not big game-changing decisions in themselves but will have an effect on how a player now on a card plays for the remainder of the game in fear of getting a second. At the same time over the season yellow cards mount up and suspensions kick in.Guy pulls back Tillman when on the break. Free kick only. Goldson does the same, yellow straight out. Why the disparity???
I can’t remember the Tillman one, but if he doesn’t stop and we have a promising break the rule is not to go back and book the player.Guy pulls back Tillman when on the break. Free kick only. Goldson does the same, yellow straight out. Why the disparity???
He literally stopped Tillman with a bear hug. Counter attack over. Blows the whistle, free kick. No card.I can’t remember the Tillman one, but if he doesn’t stop and we have a promising break the rule is not to go back and book the player.
When Goldson done it they went to ground so no promising attack.
Not down to the referee. Anyway, TV replay showed extremely unlikely that whole of the ball was over the line.Keeper running about outside the box with the ball in his hand

Bizarre refereeing
To be fair, his momentum carried him over and he got back on the pitch sharpish.I am surprised that he never booked Tillman for going off the pitch at his goal.
Could be wrong but I am pretty sure he was ref at one of my son's games quite a few years ago. We were told he was on a fast track scheme and he was the worst ref my son ever played under.Not merely a very poor referee but a base cheat.

Folk should maybe start watching Celtic games and spend less time on Celtic forums and then they might work out there is quite a difference when it comes to how both sides are reffed and the tactics these sides use when playing both big clubs. The fact people are still going on about a poor standard shows how naive and clueless they really are.
Its an odd way to look at things, we win cant be any cheating, lose and you cant start looking for excuses. It sounds like something from facebook or whatever it is people use these days.If they are biased and cheats then why do we continue to win trophies? We lost the league last season due to dropping too many cheap points against the likes of Aberdeen and Motherwell. We won the previous league title going the whole season unbeaten ffs. Won the Scottish Cup, beating them in the semi final when Bassey was borderline offside in the build up.
‘They’re no even good cheats’
As you shoved genuinely in there ive no option to believe you no chance you would be playing dumb.I genuinely don’t read newspapers or click on their sites so nothing they say bothers me in the slightest and no I never watched their game yesterday but I’m pretty sure the referee wouldn’t have had an influence on the result. Kilmarnock are disgracefully bad, just like the rest of them.
I don’t know what the other thread you keep mentioning is that I’m apparently scared to comment on is either lol.
As you shoved genuinely in there ive no option to believe you no chance you would be playing dumb.
and you know fine well which thread im talking about its the one that you lot were raging about yesterday.
Im going to leave it there mate but il be interested to read your comments if/ when Rangers decide to speak about the issue. I dont see how the club can continue to ignore bias in refereeing when its so blatant and both the big clubs are so far ahead of the rest.
