Referee for game against Kilmarnock
The referee for Saturday's game against Kilmarnock is Stevie O’Reilly. The full list of match officials can be found by clicking SPLrefs.com - SPL Referees Stats (http://www.splrefs.com/)
You will also find on the site a wide range of stats relating to Stevie O’Reilly including Hibs games he has refereed and his general refereeing stats over the last 2 seasons.

Additionally, we are running a poll on our site to gauge fans opinions on what they see as the single most important change you would make to help improve refereeing.
We’d love you to vote as we are planning to communicate with the SFA soon and we will be feeding the results of our poll to them to let them understand the fans views on this important issue.

If all SPLrefs.com are doing to work together with the fans to improve refereeing standards in Scotland is posting who the ref will be (and even then on only half the Hibs fans forums) can I respectfully ask how that will help?
There are numerous threads here, and I’d imagine on other fans forums too, debating and commenting the performances of referees at matches. I cannot recall any sort of response from SPLrefs.com. Indeed, while ‘you’ encourage comments from fans on your own website, none of these appear to get a response either.
Our referee last Saturday saw fit to hand out a record number of bookings to Hibs players (for this season), 4 in one game, in a match that no-one could describe as dirty.
The Miller booking looked as though it was a referees revenge booking for having his red card of the previous week reduced to a yellow. When the referee originally blew for a foul I genuinely thought it was a foul for Hibs!
Our referee saw fit to book the opposition goalkeeper when everyone else thought it should be red. Why did he only consider it a yellow?
What was the difference between the accidental hand ball from Miller that drew a penalty against Hibs and the accidental hand ball at the other end, only a few minutes later, that didn’t?
There were all the other niggley decisions that seemed to go their way rather than ours, we’re used to that! Or the weekly question of ‘how does Deuchar (add in any other number of players) get away with hauling folk all over the place/backing into etc while oor Nishy can be fouled against with impunity for daring to go for the ball?
I’ve already read about ‘well if you think we’re bad take look at the cup final in England at the weekend’ argument and to be fair to Scottish referees I really don’t care what happens in other leagues. Its what happens in the league I pay good money to watch that [really] concerns me.
I’ll PM this as well as I don’t expect a reply on your thread will be read by you!
