Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon: "I thought we were excellent first half, really good value for the lead. They get a penalty which is debatable - if it's the correct decision, it's probably the only one the referee made all afternoon, as far as I'm concerned.
"I'm not too sure Lewis could do much about (the penalty); he's about a yard away. His arm's maybe deemed to be in an unnatural position. He booked Dylan McGeouch for diving - it's ridiculous. And some of the other decisions I wasn't pleased about. I just think the standard of refereeing's not great at the minute.
"We just need to keep ticking off the games at the minute. We should be putting these games away, because we had total control of the game for long periods.
"We keep dragging it out - that's annoying, but we're nearly there."

He's clearly just decided to say what he wants about the refs because he knows he's getting banned anyway 😂

He's right, the referees are *****, but now is probably not the time to be so candid about things.

He is doing this imo to pressure referee's to give us more decisions and not give against us.

Well said Neil the refereeing has been atrocious and today it continued in the same vein.The booking of McGeogh was a total farce.

I wish Neil would focus on playing some decent football rather than spend his time blaming referees, yes there have been some poor decisions but our football is dire.

RE the Penalty, was walking back after the game and an older guy mentioned that the ref and linesman took a good 15 seconds to come to a decision on the Penalty and play had continued after the incident, whereas normally the decision is being made within a couple of seconds, even if it is the correct decision, why is he taking so long to make his mind up as to whether it's a penalty or not?

Ref never gave the pen he waved play on. I think the linesman gave it.
The other one on the other side was really poor. Cummings was at least a yard offside several times and he wasnt up with play so never flagged. He also failed to spot a stonewall pen in the dying minutes when Cummings was hauled to the ground. The officials were poor.Last edited by greenlex; 01-04-2017 at 06:46 PM.

Yup, penalty decisions should be made within maybe 3 seconds
After that it's obvious that they are not sure, to give a penalty there should be no doubt as to give it or not

Referee was really poor today. Couldn't understand why he wouldn't let the Dunfermline player back on the pitch in the first half. Then he did it to hibs later.

We cant keep blaming the refs. The truth is we have a number of players who are not good enough to turn all these draws in to wins

Just my feeling but I think that once he has Hibs promoted Lennon will leave, I think he is well aware a substantial minority of Hibs fans didn't want him from the begining & others have now jumped on the Lennon should go band waggon. He will probably feel that to a degree he has redeemed himself after his Bolton gig & look to now move on. On a personal note I hope I'm wrong.
