Clancy: cheat or visually impaired?

[Hibernia&Alba]

That was an Old Firm refereeing performance if ever I saw one.

How was that not a second yellow for McCrorie at 1-0? If Clancy does his job, we're on easy street.

How did he manage to 'miss' that deliberate handball?

Hun players kicked us from pillar to post all night without consequence. Their keeper was outstanding, whilst Marciano made a mess of that winner at his near post.

Hit the post twice.

We'll be told yet again to stop being paranoid because the 'decisions even out'. It will take until the next age for these decisions to even out.

Disgraceful from Clancy. He was either at it or his eyesight is failing.

[SkintHibby]

MY eyesight must be failing me cause I thought he did ok.

Absolutely hate boring threads about refs when we get beat. Par for the course on here.

Don't agree absolute cheat and totally inconsistent Shaw was clearly fouled in the run up to their 2nd goal never mind the handball for the penalty that should have been given

No way a foul on Shaw IMO just was not strong enough

The ref was in no position to see the pen or give it. He can only give it if absolutely sure, he cannot guess. It was the linesman who was perfectly placed and apparently (according to a conversation he had with Lennon) he did "not think it was a penalty".

If true, then this linesman should not be allowed to officiate at ANY game until he can demonstrate that he knows the rules of the game. As a minimum, this linesman's performances in future games need to be closely scrutinised. There were 20,000 paying customers at ER who were effectively cheated out of a fair contest due to one man's ignorance of the rules of the game. That's not acceptable.

Ignorance of the rules? I'm sure he knows the rules perfectly well. Big difference though between knowing them and applying them. You think he wouldn't have 'known the rules' if that had happened the other way round. To admit to seeing that and then not giving it can only be considered cheating, it was a blatant a handball as you're likely to see.

He came through the back of him the sort of foul he was giving all night.

Clancy couldn't have seen it but linesman did and thought it wasn't a penalty wrongly I must add

[hibbydad]

Maybee so but look at his other totally inconsistent decisions I would again highlight the foul on Shaw before their 2nd goal

You thought he did ok? That was one of the worst refereeing performances I can recall. He missed the incidents that changed the game. Atrocious performance; he should be demoted down the leagues for a few weeks.

I was at the game tonight which is a rarity for me but I never seen anything particularly bad from the ref (but I never had the luxury of a replay).

Hibs have had a few contentious decisions go their way this season so c'est la vie.

So you don't go to may games then, but you felt the ref was ok.....compared to what?

He was shocking, Sauz. As bad a performance as any at ER.

[cabbageandribs1875]

clancy wouldn't have saw the hand ball, but the ******* cheat of a linesman on the east stand side SHOULD have having specsavers sponsoring the officials is indeed very apt, but then again he DID see it but just didn't want to give it...****

Probably compared to 'not being ok'.

The guy doesn't have had to be at every Hibs game this century to know if a referee is good or bad you know.

I won't accuse u of being a jambo but I disagree with the c'est la vie part massively, it was far too blatant.

Im not talking about tonight. Some decisions go for your team some dont. That is life. Refs make decisions whether good or bad. They are not biased tho.

Well said.
We lost because we couldn't turn our pressure and chances into goals not because the referee didn't see a hand ball.
A great game tonight, Hibs totally dominated The Rangers.

And he also didn't see the foul by McCrorie which should have been a second yellow at 1-0. He's a clown.

You know it is possible that both those things have cost us?

Until refs get the benefit of video replays there will continue to be blatant missed decision like today.
Nothing to do with cheating or incompetence.

I can't agree with that; it was blatant, not a marginal call, as was the second yellow. They were acting like hatchet men all night.

It's the refs who don't want it! It so they continue to cheat the paying public of watching a fair game of football.

I suspect the main issue is the cost.
Rugby and Tennis have it so why not top level football

If you think he did ok your eyes must be painted on. No penalty, no foul on Shaw before their 2nd to name but a few. He did is job alright.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

I don't think that he saw the penalty claim through the players. I could see it from the middle of the East in line with it so the penalty decision was really down to the linesman.

That's all very well but his linesman was parallel to it and couldn't have had a clearer view.
