Just thinking after reading all the comments about Craig Thomson refereeing our games and the slightly varying views on his bias, cheating, incompetence and whatever else ..
I for what its worth have mixed views on his performances since the cup final, where what he did was a disgrace in a live televised national cup final.
Moving away specifically from him, I think that a number of refereeing performances this season particularly at home have been far worse in terms of incompetence, bias, cheating , woeful decision making ....I look at the antics of Aberdeen, ST Johnstone, Hertz, Dundee, etc and the amount of blatant fouling, taking players out, pulling players back, timewasting, standing in front of freekicks, taking turns at fouling players, mcginn especially, terrible offside decisions, etc ..all of which have been met with few yellow cards against the freekick ratio's, horrific tackles no yellow never mind red, matched with a number of instances where one freekick from our players equals a booking, ....all of these things have the direct impact on stopping us playing the way we try to and are blatant cheating techniques that opposition managers are deploying, that all referees are ignoring blatantly.
I am the first person to accept that big decisions balance out over season, but these fouls and antics are in my opinion having a bigger impact than big decisions ..and its down to the point and question is why does it feel like officials are all consistently making very poor decisions through all our games so far by letting things go and being.too soft, is there really grounds for a conspiracy theory about them, giving us nothing other than what is blatant and even then not giving it, thinking about all of this is Thomson any worse than the rest so far this season, I don't think he has been, I think they are either useless or there is something going on ! Its all just too much of a coincidence that it happens every week !!

Two things to start. Refs are far too lenient in Scotland. Hibs kicked off the park v Accies and not the first time we’ve had rough house tactics used against us. McGinn is a particular target. Players knocking lumps out each other in the Huns v Dons game tonight. Then there’s the inconsistency. Bruno Alves booked rightly. Kenny Miller boots Shinnie(?), no booking. Utterly bizarre.

As a outsider, the refereeing in Scotland is very poor. Poorer than some leagues I watch on TV. What one ref will give one week, the other won't. . Zero consistency and that's what frustrates me watching.

well tonight, I am standing alone...I think you are all wrong...it was a penalty, soft I agree, but it was a push in the back in the box..
And I don't think the are cheats...bad yes, inconsistent yes...but not cheats

Penalty Decisions - Always go in the Favour of the Weegies.. Has done since the 80`s (at least)
" Who Missed The Penalty " was always a quote from an old firm 0-0

The only decisions I can recall where the old firm got blatantly wrong decisons against them are the cup final against Hearts who got a pen when the foul was outside the box and super Ally dragged down in the box only for the ref to wave the claim away. Celtic against ICT in the semi I struggle to think of other examples.

honestly, I don't think it was cheating...would it have been given at the other end? well, the reality is Celtic were in Well's box pushing for an equaliser , so more likelihood of them getting a soft decision.....as is often the case. If Well, had had been actively in the Celtic box, they might have got the call too.
Not saying it was defo a pen - but can see why its was given, and don't think it was cheating.

I’m 100% convinced refs cheat. You simply cannot be that bad on a weekly basis I’m sorry. They will do anything to favour the Glasgow sides. Celtic are the darlings of Scottish football and no danger would he have gave that pen to Well no chance at all.

In the main I think they try to be fair but a combination of incompetence and players trying to cheat them all the time doesn’t help.
FWIW I think the latter is the bigger problem in our game. They need help desperately and it’s not beyond the wit of man to do so.

Hibs, Lennon and Lianne and made great strides in the last 2/3 years to show that Hibs will no longer be shoved around - but there's still work to do. The inherent prejudice runs deep.

The cheat here was the player, again, there was contact but very very minimal and certainly never enough for the player to drop to the ground. So once again the ref has been fooled, but, he is also partly to blame as he like us up on the terraces can see the player has made a meal of it but still gives it.
My personal view is as it has been from the 70s, no way would that be given at that stage of the match to any other than the bigot brothers, so yes it is a form of cheating. You would think that after the League cup penalty, which I’m sure last nights ref would have watched and come to the same conclusion as nearly everybody that seen it, he would be a tad more aware of this tactic.
