Can we not get this incompetent cheat barred from refereeing games against us?!

I expected a week off for Craig Thomson after his calamitous cup final debacle (the most recent one), or if he was to get a gig, then in lower leagues to take him out the firing line. Instead they give him a top flight fixture featuring a club who's manager was less than complimentary about standards last weekend.

A still detest the man and Sunday's performance only added fuel to the flames however, in a few recent games he's actually done okay which tells me he can do it properly if he wants but for some reason, known only to himself (and possibly his bookie), he chooses to act like a total incompetent at times.

Yes, he has been fine since that final for us at least, but he has still had quite a few high profile shockers in that time.

I listened to the same waffling on about Thomson before we played Hearts in the cup on February 7th 2016, how he would cost us the game and loves Hearts, blah, blah, blah.

He had a good game and we went on to win the cup.

Thankfully the Hibs players just got on with it that day rather than take the whimperings of fans on board.

I don't think he's a cheat, just that he's not particularly good.

Last Saturday's ref at Hamilton was much worse.

I believe Thomson cheated in 2012, and it would take a particularly convincing argument to change my mind. However, since then I'm not aware he has been any worse (and has probably been better than many) refs we've had. Even Steven McLean had a shocker at ER earlier this season, and I reckon he's about the best in Scotland (admittedly, my opinion of him may be influenced by 25.5.16).

Exactly. No idea why so many on here continually get their knickers in a twist every time he is picked to ref a game of ours. We saw far far worse in the Championship.

We certainly did, especially the fat baldy guy from Falkirk who always seemed to get us against Falkirk. He was as biased and bad as any referee I've ever seen.

However, he will never be acclaimed as our best referee or get anywhere near the Fifa or Eufa lists.

On the other hand, Thomson has proved time and time again that he is promoted beyond his abilities both in Scotland and Europe.

And since the 2012 final he has given many decisions to Hibs but I've yet to see one that gives us an advantage. You just know the nearer we are to the opposition goal the less likely we are to get that decision.

Thomson is an incompetent cheat. The only question regarding Saturday is whether it will be us or Partick who get cheated by his incompetence.

Wasn't concerned before the final.

Could've killed him after the final

He made wrong decisions without doubt in the final but what I'm trying to say is professional players shouldn't bother who is refereeing, if they are concerned then to me they aren't focussed on what they should be.

Paul Hanlon and Lewis Stevenson played in that final, do you think they can't sleep tonight in the knowledge that Craig Thomson is refereeing their game on Saturday?

He cheated in the final. There's no doubt about it and leading up to the final he was horrendous against us also numerous times. I'm not talking about the roberto Carlos from Gambia either, Black on Leigh is scandalous and still sticks in my crow.

It's his inconsistency that bugs me .
Last Sunday the Motherwell player hardly off at all pushed Sinclair the week before he stood less than ten yards away from a corner Hibs were given and saw Paul Ganlon grabbed in a bear hug held to stop him getting a header in and Thompson says no penalty and says play on .
Now that was a penalty .
Man is useless,biased and as said inconsistent .
If he was in a professional post unlike Professional refereeing he would be out on his ear or starving from lack of work but SFA keep on rolling him out to keep on bringing misery to the fans &

He isn't a good referee but you just have to get on with what you are given.

I don't think Scottish referees are very good full stop, it's not just Thomson.

Hope he reaches the maximum age shortly and that removes him from the list.

The stats don't look great but other then the obvious one, I can't really recall that many where he has been blatantly against us. I think he's been just as bad for other teams (including International and European teams) and the main problem is why he is still refereeing at the top level after so many abject performances.

All this nonsense about not going to the game or assuming we're beat before the game starts is absolutely ridiculous.

The stats tell a different story. If he was just incompetent the figures should average out over a period. They don't and the fact that you can't see that he's "blatantly against us" means that his tactic is working.

There are actually loads of decisions from the soft Dunfermline penalty in a semi final replay conveniently not sending off the same player who got the pen in the first game for a horrific 2 footed challenge, to the brown trout red card, to bizarrely booking Sparky for diving who just happened to miss a crucial relegation decider v Dunfermline. It all evens itself out though. :rolleyes:

I would normally agree with you, but the excessive number of yellow cards, redcards and penalties against (and corresponding decisions going heavily for our opponents) in the link below makes me think otherwise. And remember, it looks at 32 games from 2011/12 onwards. That's a lot of games for such a stark pattern of anti Hibs decisions. Maybe if it was over 10 games I'd say, well maybe it all evens itself out over a season.

The sooner Thomson retires at the end of this season the better. Good riddance as far as I'm concerned.

His questionable (to say the least) record when officiating Hibs matches speaks for itself, and his performance in the nightmarish Scottish Cup final was simply a disgrace for a so-called "top" referee.

He made mistakes but probably not the worst we've had this season.

Got most things right yesterday apart from a couple of blatant corners the wrong way round.

Last time I remember him having a shocker against us was Ross County away when he sent off Paul Cairney for a County player taking a quick free kick and blasting the ball straight at Cairney, for which he gave PC a second yellow. Bizaare.

His performances have been on the whole ok with us since Romanov went missing. I suspect the brown envelopes stopped around that time. Without doubt there was something strange going on with CT and Hibs during the years 07 - 13 .

Paul Cairney got his second booking for diving that day, Thomson was a lucky man that nobody made a beeline for him as it was as hostile an atmosphere towards a referee as I can remember, and right in front of the Hibs crowd as well.
