There's far too much credibility given to European referees.
Poland is hardly a footballing powerhouse and their referees are ultimately of the same standard as the kind of dross Scotland sends to Europe to officiate.
Last week's referee was just the Bulgarian equivalent of Collum.
It’s to cut down on unnecessary travelling. Since he stays in Govanhill, he’s perfectSuperb, local ref for us.
What’s the alternative? Only have refs from the countries with the better leagues?
Spanish/English refs are hardly brilliant
Balogun is one booking away as is Roofe who obviously won't be playing.Usually find refs are more strict in European games but that doesn’t make for good reading
Are any of our players close to a ban?
I think I seen a yellow card graphic next to Balogun’s name before kick off on Thursday.Usually find refs are more strict in European games but that doesn’t make for good reading

You're right. Roofe and Balogun were the two players on a yellow.I think I seen a yellow card graphic next to Balogun’s name before kick off on Thursday.
Patterson will be out of isolation by the time we play in the next round though
No, that wasn't my point at all. It was simply that there's a narrative that European referees are better - one of the reasons for our success in Europe last season was chalked up to this - when in actual fact they're at the same level as some of the shite we send to Europe. Some of the refereeing decisions last week were worse than baffling and some of the stuff we had to endure in Gerrard's first season as manager were exceptionally bad.
I don't think most people think they are necessarily better, just that in theory they aren't subject to the same team biases and intimidation as Scottish ones.
I'd rather have a referee that was just plain shite than one that was shite and biased.
The only game that cheating has ever crossed my mind, had he been Scottish the usual conspiracy folk would be out in force.There's hardly a difference between being shite and being shite and bias, though. It didn't really matter what last week's one was because he still made some startling decisions. As for the Ufa ref - imagine that was a game in Scotland. Can you imagine!
Yes it can, we’ve had Polish Officials before, I think they must get indoctrinated from the Oirish Scum as how to officiate our games, like our (Corrupt) Refs sorry incompetent!Can’t be any worse than that dick last week
That’s interesting as it’s different from last week , all the officials are Polish whereas last week the VAR team were German and officials were BulgarianReferee

They will only get worse as well the more VAR goes on and strips them of any decisions.What’s the alternative? Only have refs from the countries with the better leagues?

You're not alone on hereNever mind me, talking pish!
There was a mention on BT last Thursday, I can’t remember who, but I’m sure they said there were two.A card happy ref may work to our advantage. They were a bit dirty, not as bad as some we've faced, but enough it may make a difference.
Just hope our boys put in a clean performance. Other than Barasic, who else is on a potential ban?
