Stewart Regan backs Craig Thomson in wake of Malaga complaint

SFA chief executive Stewart Regan has defended the performance of Craig Thomson in Malaga’s game with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday night, after the Spaniards complained about the Scottish whistler’s performance.

Thomson, perceived to be the country’s finest official, was backed up by Regan who insisted that it was the referee’s supporting cast that let him down

Malaga have made a formal complaint to Uefa about Thomson and his refereeing team in the aftermath of their controversial exit at the hands of the German side.

Felipe Santana’s 93rd-minute winner took the hosts into the semi-finals with a 3-2 aggregate victory but the Spaniards were furious with the decision to let the goal stand after video replays conclusively proved it should have been disallowed for offside.

Club owner Al Thani was so incensed he accused Uefa of racism, but Regan argued: “I thought [Craig’s] handling of the game was very, very good.”

“Unfortunately a number of decisions from the people working alongside him perhaps let him down. But unfortunately these things happen in football.”

Keeny Clark saying he is one of the best refs in Europe. :confused:

[greenginger]

Send Malaga a video of Thomson's handling of last years cup final.

They think they have something to complain about. At least he made c*ck-ups in their favour too.

:agree: Complete incompetent jambo clown and the fact that he is considered Scotlands best referee is an embarrassment and shows just how dire this countrys refereeing standard is!

The guy is an absolute joke who has never been subtle in his dislike for hibs. He is not the reason we lost the cup final last may, we did that all on our own as we were a team full of gutless, spineless, lazy no marks at that time. However, I think if that cheating clown had been fairer and actually did his job properly then I don't think the scoreline would have been as flattering for hearts. He gave that ridiculous penalty decision just as we had got back into the game.

Cheat, incompetent - however you want to look at it but the bottom line is that he is a ***** referee, most certainly isn't fit to be refereeing such important games.

One things for sure he wont be getting the final (champions league)

If he had been properly disciplined after his appalling performance at the cup final or better still sacked then he would never have been put in the uncomfortable position he was last night when he was totally out of his depth. Hopefully this will prompt a return to the argument for bringing in superior foreign refs to our game as clearly Scottish refs just aren't up to the job just now
