Formal Complaint - Steven McLean

[hibsfan]

How would one best go about making a formal complaint about today’s referee? His performance was a blatant example of cheating. I know the SFA are unlikely to do much as they are just as corrupt but it is time the standard of refereeing was brought to justice and investigated at the highest level.

very poor but cheating?

[660]

His refereeing was pish today but this is off the scale mental stuff.

[matty_f]

He wasn't cheating today, he just had a bad game.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Referee was abysmal, but not cheating - have a word with yourself.

[Carheenlea]

Your complaint will be laughed out the office. Yes, he made some contentious decisions, but cheating?? Come on...

Dear Sirs

The ref today was crap.

Yours

Just copy and paste. Job done.

[Bostonhibby]

Ask to make an appointment to meet with them to discuss it, come the big day stick two pencils up your nose and say wibble.

That'll do it.

Old firm level paranoia. Get a grip

[SirDavidsNapper]

He was ok in the 2016 cup final 😉

[hibsfan]

Sad thing is that I am right!

[Sir David Gray]

It wasn't cheating it was just sheer incompetence. He had an atrocious game but I don't believe he was cheating.

He should be punished for his performance today but not for any reason other than he had a nightmare of a match.

[Galahibby]

He had a ***** game, for sure. I've never seen him make so many poor decisions in a game (mostly against us, but not exclusively) but I'm not sure he was cheating. I think on a few occasions his linesmen could've helped him out but didn't. What actually is the point of linesmen these days? Half the time they only shove their flag up after they've waited to see what the ref's going to do first.

Shhhhhhhh. Don't tell the SFA he's a cheat - they might retrospectively take THAT Scottish Cup Final win off us (you know, the game he refereed).

Come on mate, a formal complaint? Proving he cheated is a tad unrealistic. Incompetence and corruption are very different things.

Yep. Free pass forever.

He was poor today, it's allowed.

[cleanyman]

He's a good referee.

We all have bad/indifferent games and today was one of those days.

You a member of Club 1872 by any chance ?

OK ref was poor but get over it.

Yup. We all have nightmares at work. He's a decent ref. We lost. Let's move on.

[kaimendhibs]

He was abysmal today tho. ****** awful

His inconsistency today really was breathtaking. But he's one of the better ones around and I'd still rather have him in a big game like a derby than some of the other buffoons.

[007 Mickey Weir]

Sorry I must have missed something. Sat in the south today and he should have booked Logan for up ending Boyle. But what else did he do against us? He tried to let the game run on at times which I liked. Bringing it back if attacking team didn’t gain an advantage. He got a corner decision wrong in first half. Then apologised and overturned his decision. I thought this was very good and rare in a ref.

[kaimendhibs]

The OP has a point, what if todays performance had been by Craig Thomson?

I don't think he's a cheat but understand the OP's frustration.

I thought McLean was one of our better refs but today proved to me he's as bad as the rest and was totally incompetent.

He booked SJM for nothing. Allowed loads of fouls to go unpunished and should have sent off May, for starters.

Not cheating but just another example of the very sub standard refereeing in this country, no consistency, Hibs player gets booked for a professional foul, the Aberdeen player doesn't, McGinn gets booked for his first foul challenge?? and May should've seen a straight red for that late challenge.

Level 5?

Tread very carefully, you might come to the attention of the mighty James (Lord of Darkness) Traynor.

Some in the media call him the Bogeyman.

Wooohhhhh

think SJM was booked for something said

[007 Mickey Weir]

SJM was a booking. Harsh but a booking. He went in late and hard. Always gonna get booked for that. Logan did the same on Boyle and should have been booked. But I think he tried to let things flow and not stop the game. Aberdeen are a strong well organised team that played out the game very well and knew how to frustrate us.
