maclean doing the st mirren match, he should be suspended , not even an apology or nothing yet the mhanks get an apology from the linesman.
I dont even care about the red cards its the fact he allowed play to continue twice with 2 head knocks that resulted in blood.
Sunday "might" fire us up a bit.
Who would give odds on a Rangers red card in 20 minutes?
Is there any referee you would actually prefer in Scotland? Collum? Is he the best we have?
By far the best.Is there any referee you would actually prefer in Scotland? Collum? Is he the best we have?
The worst, although McLean is quickly realising that the way to advance your career as a referee in this country is to follow the Craig Thomson model and fûck over Rangers.Another disgraceful cheat of a referee.
By far the best.
People will always point to the penalty at Falkirk with him.
The fact that is one decision and it was 3 years ago proves that he is a good referee.
You could write a book about Thomson.
Good points which only highlight how difficult it is to find bad decisions he's given against us.I can only remember the tackle being miles outside the box, but surely the linesman should be up with play and telling the referee it's outside the box.
A referee chasing the play could understandably make a wrong call.
It's Thomson!

McLean has St Mirren-Morton.
Beaton Partick-St Johnstone.
You did see that Thomson is the ref yeah?Levein is certain to have his thugs throwing hammers at us from the first whistle. This might just work in our favour.
Suspended ? - He should be sacked.maclean doing the st mirren match, he should be suspended , not even an apology or nothing yet the mhanks get an apology from the linesman.

The penalty he awarded us at Hampden for a foul on Jelavic then changed his mind without any discussion with his assistants. Has he ever explained this??
If he was not certain it was in the box he cannot give a penalty, or ehhhh, he can cheat.I can only remember the tackle being miles outside the box, but surely the linesman should be up with play and telling the referee it's outside the box.

Craig Thomson was the ref when Ian Black out Jelavic out of the game for months. He booked him.Levein is certain to have his thugs throwing hammers at us from the first whistle. This might just work in our favour.

Do you remember how far outside the box the tackle was? There is only one "understandable" reason for giving a penalty.

So, while I admire your optimism I don't share it.
I did quote the whole post.Not having a go Craigie but - if you have quoted all of the post you were replying to you would see that I said I know Thomson was ref when Black took out Jelavic.
The point is Thomson in general usually clamps down early on thuggish play - Levein is as thuggish as they come and has made it clear in the past he detests Rangers. He will not be able to help himself.
I know this is optimistic given the shit we have had this season so let's see. If Pedro plays it right he can work it in our favour.
OK agreed. I mentioned the Black/Jelavic incident in post 34 - you have quoted an earlier post.I did quote the whole post.
Fxxking hell.
Yes I saw it and i am well aware it was he who failed to send black off for his disgrace on jelavic.
However, Thomson tends to try to stop over aggressive tactics. Levein will not be able to help himself from telling his players to be aggressive.
We need to be prepared to play hearts and also play the ref correctly.
Sorry, but in saying that you must also be saying there is only one 'understandable' reason Beaton missed Fod handling the ball outside the box against Hamilton in the cup last season.If he was not certain it was in the box he cannot give a penalty, or ehhhh, he can cheat.
