I know he has taken stick after the penalty he awarded on Sunday and his general performances, but credit where it is due as he got that St Johnstone penalty v Hearts spot on tonight, stonewaller. 😂 😂

Could have broken his neck

As amusing as it is that this occurs against hearts, it still cannot be excused!! I cannot remember a week recently where at least 4/5 times during a match the officials make absolute howlers!!

It needs addressed ASAP!

The charges brought against Rangers for their criticism of Collin only alludes to the complete and utter shambles going on at the SFA.

Penalty all day long.

It’s all fun and games laughs and giggles though Potter eh? Ya dick 😀

**patlowe** · 06-12-2018 12:30 PM

I don't often comment on referees but some of Dallas' decisions recently have been absolutely baffling - I wouldn't want to cast aspersions on his character but he seems determined to get involved and make unnecessary calls (Flo's red, LCF pen, the St J pen) for reasons only he could give. In the case of the derby, I would suggest that a good chuck of the responsibility for the whole mood and atmosphere of the game getting out of hand (not to excuse the violent acts of course) rests on his shoulders.

Its all a good laugh, isn't it? 😂

***matty_f*** · 06-12-2018 12:32 PM

Penalty all day long for me, I'd have sent the Hearts **** off for it as well.

**JeMeSouviens** · 06-12-2018 12:41 PM

Hearts #5 doesn't even protest.

Son of Dallas is a walking embodiment of the dangers of nepotism.

***One Day Soon*** · 06-12-2018 01:35 PM

Last night on the radio he sounded like he should be put on a 24 hour safety watch. A broken man would be the most apt phrase.

With Dallas there would be no point, showed it on Sportscene last night from 3 different angles and still yet to see contact, other than the St. J player trying an overhead kick????

As funny as it is, it’s worrying that this buffoon isn’t demoted. He is an awful ref.

***Northernhibee*** · 06-12-2018 02:46 PM

Bah gawd he may be broken in half!

He will probably get the next derby, and give Hertz a penalty to make it up to Potter

***weecounty hibby*** · 06-12-2018 07:24 PM

I can’t believe that Craigy boy, the master joker, not to mention the masterbater, has stopped seeing the funny side in poor refereeing decisions!! Oh aye, that’s right Craig they’re only funny when they go for you ya ****ing dick. Penalty all day long, I would definitely have given it and possibly followed it up with a red card and if St J had missed I would have allowed retakes until they scored

Bit harsh, no?

**~~calumhibee1~~** · 07-12-2018 06:29 AM

The standard of refereeing in this country is horrendous. Decisions like that and the one against Candeias recently, as funny as they are, are absolutely inexplicable. You don’t even see decisions like that in amateur/juvenile football.

If any of us did our jobs as well as this clown does we would all be currently unemployed

Nah it’s really really difficult to get rid of someone that’s rubbish at their job.

Written warnings disciplinaries then out the door all employers use them tactics now that’s what HR Departments are for time the SFA joined the rest of us in the 21st century.

My query is not with the current batch of referees but rather how they got there.

All very anecdotal, colleague at work was progressing through the ranks a couple of years ago and had passed everything required. He was then told that to progress he would need to change his body shape (apparently a V shape is required) and he should take up an admin role in the local committee. Didn’t inspire him, which combined with the commitments of a young family, led him away from refereeing.

Combined with what appears to be a dominance by West of Scotland associations (can’t find the news article atm) the problem is less about the current batch of referees. The issue is the system that filters out potentially better candidates.

If you're not from Ayrshire, Glasgow or Lanarkshire, you have very little chance of becoming a Grade A Ref in this country.

Even less chance of refereeing a Scottish Cup Final.

**lyonhibs** · 07-12-2018 11:47 AM

WTF is a "V" shaped body? I'm missing something here right??

Yes, widely reported but amazingly no action is taken to address the corruption at the heart of Scottish refereeing. It seems absolutely incredible that this goes unaddressed. It’s a cartel running refereeing and they are untouchable.
