What a ridiculous rule. What if a shot takes a massive deflection off the referee and goes in then?

This has happened - Barrow 1 Plymouth 0, 1968.

Also happened in an EPL game. May have been at villa park.

I'm sure we had a ref that constantly got in the way of our attacks earlier in the season at Easter Road. I'll see if I can find the thread about him if I have time later.

Why bring this up?? Plays absolutely no relevance at all unless your a yam!

Shocking ref today IMHO.

Let them away with just about everything and every 50/50 there way.

aye, good one. If I'm a hearts fan then get someone to ban me. Go on.........

I was just pointing out that these things do happen and have happened in the past.

Aye ok Tanfield, you've been 'outed'. I told you after the game on Saturday outside Dumpden that dressing yourself and your family up in Hibs colours AGAIN, wasn't pulling the wool over anybody's eyes.

Ban him I say ;-)

BTW, that ref was shocking on Saturday. Where was he when the ball went in to the box for Falkirk's goal? left McGoosh on his own to cover Sibbald, NOT GOOD ENOUGH REF!

The worst I have ever seen in that regard was Charlies Richmond in a game v Motherwell in the Mowbray era. Hibs were on top and Well were fouling and stopping the game at every opportunity. This clown perpetuated that by not allowing Hibs to play things quickly and lecturing every Well offender for ages and not booking them. Think we scored in injury time so justice was served. He was torture though.

Makes you wonder what a waste of space and expense these 2 extra official that stand beside the goals are.

And why do they both stand on the same side as the linesman?

Surely they should stand on the other side of the goal from the linesman?

Couldnt agree more I think it is because they can have a triangulation of vision so they dont miss anything

. I think the Dortmund Malaga game where the Scottish officials managed to miss 4 or 5 obvious infringements proved that wrong though.

Personally think that game was bent to put Malaga out as they had huge financial problems at the time. They got the right man though in Thomson to do the job.

He was fine when he reffed us in the Killy quarter final a few years ago.

I agree but he was fitter then and that's my point he is heavier and not so fit now and that is unacceptable in todays game.

I'd forgotten about Richmond. He was a horrendous referee.
