The ref

[Waxy]

Who's ref today?
Here's hoping he gets everything right today.Is that too much to ask? That's why he has the job and the stakes are too high for any wrong decisions.
Either for or against us it has to be fair.

I don't know but there is one thing guaranteed, he will be hopeless.

John McKendrick is the ref today.

[GreenLake]

John McKendrick is the ref today.

He got progressively worse and looked like he was giving as many bad decisions to them as he could get away with.

[LaMotta]

Some abysmal non decisions where he didnt give fouls...several on McGinn, one on Fyvie stand out.

Nothing wrong with today's ref, he wasn't whistle happy which for me is a good thing.

Ref had a nightmare. Dont know what game u were watching??

I can exclusively reveal that he's not very good at his other job either.

Absolute rubbish!

[Dashing Bob S]

Opps...posted on wrong thread. The ref was a twat. Not the worse we've had this season, but just poor.

[Shearer]

Thought the ref was fine today. Couldn't believe the incredibly biased commentary against him today on Hibs TV.

Nothing wrong with the referee, he got most things correct

[pacoluna]

The game we just won 2 0 but as its the hibs forum, people still need something to moan about. As I said before some rough challenges but nothing terrible, wasn't whistle or card happy.

[hibee_girl]

He started off ok but got worse as the game went on

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

I thought the Ref was no better or worse than most. We maybe just expect better.

[Glory Lurker]

I've certainly blown my nut more at other refereeing performances this season.

[500miles]

He kept allowing the Raith players to go through the back of our players, blatant fouls, and their number 6 should've been sent off for a second booking.

[Brightside]

Ref was fine... there was some shocking diving and complaining from a few of our players though. Plenty of poor tackles from both sides, ref got most right.

[LaMotta]

Oh come on he missed numerous blatant fouls. Two handed push on Stokes first half by the touchline, Fyvie dragged back in midfield by the shoulder ignored, Mcginn flatattened on the edge of the box near the end...just off the top of ma bonce.

Denied Raith a two on two situation when he failed to play advantage.

The players and the bench were going nuts at some of his decisions, speaks volumes.

Heard also that the refereeing fraternity was surprised at his appointment for such a high profile game as he is well known for his bombscare decisions.

Its not moaning, its analysis of his performance.

[Smartie]

That's what I thought.

He let the game flow, wasn't whistle-happy and tended to be lenient but even-handed.

Booked players when he needed to, let it go when he could.

Ok, I disagreed with a few of his decisions but he was miles better than much of what we've had this season.

[Thecat23]

Ref and linesman both had a mare. I'm baffled to how others saw him having a good game.

[Waxy]

Couple if poor decisions regarding Raith getting throw ins when they clearly should have been ours.Keatings racing to nick it off a defender?

[JimBHibees]

Thought he missed 2 blatant fouls on Fyvie and McGinn which allowed them to drive at our box potentially huge decisions if they had scored not good enough.

I thought he was OK, couple of poor decisions but nothing terrible. Can't think of any major calls they got wrong

Agreed . Ref was anti us all game . Thankfully it didn't matter but God were due a fair ref .

GGTTH

[HibsMax]

I thought the ref had a pretty crappy game. It wasn't totally one-sided but he made a lot of bad decisions IMO.

[chasitup]

The ref was honking today. The standard of refereeing in Scotland is awful. I'm bored moaning about them every week.

[gaz1875]

Fyvie fell over never a foul, if he tried moving instead of standing still he wouldn't have needed to try and claim for one.

[JJP]

The ref was fine today. Certainly seen ALOT worse this season.

[givescotlandfreedom]

The ref kept trying to be clever when trying to maneuver away from the ball. Unfortunately he was clearly a ***** footballer and just got in the way.

[ACLeith]

Thought he was ok first half other than getting in our players way a few times. Second half Raith seemed to get almost all the 50/50s. Obviously got a phone call from Preston!

If he was poor then the west stand Lino was at a different level of incompetence. Some ridiculous decisions for throws and missed what seemed a blatant offside in the last few minutes that could have been game changing.

[Alfred E Newman]

I don't know but there is one thing guaranteed, he will be hopeless.

Well I was right. Absolutely useless just like the baldy headed linesman.
You really have to wonder where these clowns come from.

[The Green Goblin]

Thought the ref was constantly getting in the way ofthe players today.

[Wheat Hound]

So the best official was a woman. Good for her

[gaz1875]

Apart from the corner at the end!! (she was the lines person that gave the correct offside decision either this season or last at ER when the ref gave the goal)

Thats for sure!

[Bothar Casca]

When Logan fluffed his goal kick he applied the correct method and let him take it again despite the Raith players protests (Why were they even protesting?)

He did however blow for half time and seemed perfectly happy to leave John McGinn lying in a heap in front of the east.

I don't think I've ever seen that happen before, but how do the raith players get to that level and not know that basic rules? I presume they wanted an indirect free kick.

[SJM]

I never usually complain about the ref but he was a **** today.
