I don't mind collum in that he has made plenty decisions against Celtic. He isn't scared of them.
But he has a lot of howlers involving us.
I think he is far too rash. Watch out any time he gives a foul, he always sprints over as if it's about to kick off, when there isn't even a hint of it.
Excellent - I've got Krasnodar on my coupon.
I agree. I just think he at least gives things against them.
He has a catalogue of errors though.
He delivers a good pre dinner grace prayer at referee functions.
Oh Lord heap blessings on the soup, heap blessings on the stovies.He delivers a good pre dinner grace prayer at referee functions.
Think the only person that likes Collum is his boyfriend
I can remember the last line and that was in the late 50's, AmenOh Lord heap blessings on the soup, heap blessings on the stovies.
Heap blessings on the tims and Jews, the Muslims and jehovies.
Heap blessings on all gathered here, on absent friends and strangers.
And if there's any blessings left please heap them on the Rangers.
There's your Xmas Dinner grace Bears ;0)
I’ve got BTTS so get awarding those penalties Willy
This exactly. He's been consistently dreadful yet still gets the European games, international games etc.It seems that if you're considered a promising ref by UEFA then you're a made man. He has more than a decade of dreadful performances behind him and he has never been demoted or anything.
It's going to Rennes on your parade then.Feck I have Rennes on ma coupon.
Jack's redcard on Stevie May 2 year ago, the red was out before he'd even blew for a foul that wasn't a foul.I think he is far too rash. Watch out any time he gives a foul, he always sprints over as if it's about to kick off, when there isn't even a hint of it.

So long as it doesn't hurt a big teamIt seems that if you're considered a promising ref by UEFA then you're a made man. He has more than a decade of dreadful performances behind him and he has never been demoted or anything.
There's been loads, does a wee daft five yard sprint and the reds out. Only ref that looks like he actively enjoys it.
He might not be an open cheat like so many of the other SFA referees. However, exactly like the other SFA refs he's shit and not capable of doing the simplest task of the game. Wonder if Scotland's refs just get a slot in UEFA games because UEFA have to give them a space.I don't mind collum in that he has made plenty decisions against Celtic. He isn't scared of them.

As an RE Teacher he is well qualified to do soHe delivers a good pre dinner grace prayer at referee functions.
I always gave it at regimental dinners...it was completely lost on the non-footballing folk.Was about to post that! I gave that grace at a works leaving dinner, didn’t go down too well with some!
I agree with this.Collum is as good a referee as we have in Scotland. Think these threads don't help the situation. We need to improve referees performance in Scotland, constantly slagging of hte ones that try to get it right isn't going to achieve that.
Collum isn't a cheat and does his best. Don't think he is as bad as he is made out to be.
Was surprised a Scottish ref gets a cl game.Haven't seen the penalty incident mentioned in the OP, but surely VAR has had a worse disaster if it was a clear penalty but not given?
It's there to reverse bad decisions, so either it actually wasn't a penalty or the VAR ref has made the worse mistake as he gets to see it umpteen times on a screen.
PS Collum is still useless.

Same with cards, he sprints over to brandish cards instead of giving himself a few seconds to consider the situation. I just think he’s poor all toldI think he is far too rash. Watch out any time he gives a foul, he always sprints over as if it's about to kick off, when there isn't even a hint of it.
That sums him up. An idiot. His mistakes are always huge ones.Was in the Nou Camp watching Barcelona v Olympiakos and much to my disappointment I saw that the refereeing team was Scottish with Colum in the middle.
With Barca coasting right on half time Pique knocks the ball into the Olympiakos net with his arm... as he had already been booked Colum was technically correct to send him off but it all felt so pointless and unnecessary, basically devoid of common sense.
For the rest of the game he got absolute pelters and I decided it was the better part of valour to speak with a plummy English accent.
I dont think their is a club he hasnt made howlers against. Willie needs to take a few more seconds thinking time to take stock before blowing the whistle. His own worst enemy.I don't mind collum in that he has made plenty decisions against Celtic. He isn't scared of them.
