Steven McLean ref tonight

[Bear all]

Does it really make any difference now who it actually is.

 

[Walter2]

Be it bias,or incompetence,they are all truly shocking!

 

[Sam English]

A very poor standard of refereeing in Scotland

 

[sk1n1873]

As OP states it doesn't really matter who it is.
We can expect a multitude of incorrect calls, inconsistencies and general bewildering officiating from both man in middle and men on touchlines with flags.

 

[Gogso]

Still recall the 'foul' he gave against us from which Maddison scored.
Was a cracking strike right enough.

 

[pelem]

He's better aff playing it than reffing it.

 

[Carsons36th]

Poor referee from a pool of poor referees. I'm afraid we just have to get on with it cos I couldn't name a decent one from today's batch

 

[1872]

Wasn't that John Cheaton?

 

[allyscott]

He gave the ridiculous penalty to the sheep at the end of last season. Also referee for the Motherwell assault semi against us. Not to be treated.

[Dbear 65]

There might have been a chance he had players blocking his view but WTF is the linesman seeing not to draw his attention to that assault ?

 

[Slickrick]

McLean always makes the game about him. He cannot help himself. You just no it is going to be a frustrating night of baffling decisions from minute one. He will be dying to book Alfredo you can guarantee that.

 

[Torque_87]

They are all poor, but I'm sure laughably, that the rest of Scottish football will already have him down as pro Rangers in the games he takes charge.

 

[VaucluseBear]

Referees fall into 3 categories now (and I mean them all no exceptions).

Here are those 3 categories with examples of who falls into which bucket - feel free to re-categorise as you see fit it's just my opinion;

The arrogant fud that won't talk to any player and thinks he's a wee ticket;
Collum, Walsh

The incompetent fool that doesn't know his arse from his elbow
McLean, Madden, Dallas

The blatant cheat that will do anything to prevent 55
Beaton, Thomson, Clancy

 

[AnglianBear]

Mclean is another supposed "rangers fan" who tries too hard to make himself look as if he doesnt favour us so goes too far the other way.

Decent profiling.
I'd add Clancy to the final category.

Or trusted tae ref a match properly.

That was Beaton.

Ahh damn I knew I forgot 1 or 2 of the fuds!

I shall correct my categories, thank you kind sir

 

[albionrose]

Play as we can - and we win.

Irrelevant of the ref.

 

[Portrushbear]

Be better off with James McLean ffs

 

[Portrushbear]

Play as we can - and we win.

Irrelevant of the ref.

I'm calling balls on that one

Look at the 1st game of the season

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

He'll be having lunch with Liewell as we speak.

 

[Konovolov]

How many top flight referees are there? I'd like to see a breakdown of how they've been assigned our games this season.

 

[Div1872]

McLean gave Sheep the pen at end of last season when Alfie won the ball but he still gave the pen against us. Game finished 1-1

 

[AnglianBear]

He knew what he was doing. By helping us draw 1-1 we got an easier qualifying route into the Europa league. Mclean was 15 steps ahead that day.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Plenty of previous with this vagina

 

[standardbarger]

Does it really make any difference now who it actually is.

When will Morelas get booked or sent off that's the question McLean will have to work on during the game.

 

[Superrangers]

Yep, the ref can and often does have a huge impact on a game, as we saw up there. Two points were stolen from us on that occasion. Let’s hope tonight he behaves himself and keeps his cards in his pocket.

 

[Bear all]

They need to send him off as to miss the Scum game.

 

[Thornliebank_Bear]

Fancy Rangers strongly tonight to do the buisness fans will play their part.

Ref is a cheat though, no doubt, ever since he was slaughtered by the media for the tim cup tie v Caley his behaviour has been shameful.

Oh i know he is not alone.

 

[The Moon on Mars is Blue]

Not a decent one in the country.

 

[Arminius]

Booking for Alfredo

Candeias sent off

Sorry, who is the ref? I missed it at the start of this thread

 

[Konovolov]

How many top flight referees are there? I'd like to see a breakdown of how they've been assigned our games this season.

I had to answer my own question, cos you're obviously all too worked up about rainbow laces to care...
Anyway...

13 refs have refereed in the premiership this season, including tonight.

4 haven't reffed a single Rangers game- Alan Muir, Gavin Duncan, Greg Aitken, and Euan Anderson.

Of the other ten, I will list their total games, games involving us, and % of which involved us.

John Beaton, 8 games, 1 game, 12.5%
Andrew Dallas, 8 games, 1 game, 12.5%
Nick Walsh, 8 games, 2 games, 25%
Kevin Clancy, 9 games, 2 games, 22%
Bobby Madden, 10 games, 1 game, 10 %
Willie Collum, 9 games, 2 games, 22%
Don Robertson, 9 games, 1 game, 11%
Steven McLean, 6 games, 2 games, 33%
Craig Thomson, 8 games, 3 games, 37.5%
