Time for my weekly referee moaning post...

What an idiot

Easily a penalty in the 1st half for Boyle
Shaw fouled and shoved all day
How can you headbutt someone and stay on the park?

Once again no accountability and no chance of questioning him unless Lennon wants another ban

[bawheid]

A dreadful performance. Makes it up as he goes along. Like watching a lottery.

[A Hi-Bee]

another game another inept to say the least performance from the man in black, he is a ****.

[Libby Hibby]

Shocking, he’s totally inept.

[CmoantheHibs]

I still cannot believe the headbutt didn't get a red. Totally stunned by that decision. It never even crossed my mind that it would be anything other than red.

[bingo70]

I suspect after we’ve seen the highlights we’ll see he got more right than wrong.

For me they had a stone wall penalty turned down just before they scored and I think Porteous exaggerated the head but in order to save his skin a bit as that was a shocker of a tackle.

Shaw was pushed and pulled a bit but he has to be stronger.

Anyway, was a good game and a good point, don’t think we need to be leaving the game talking about the ref.

are you talking about the hanlon tackle? he touched the ball beforehand 100%, and GMS definitely meant and caught porteous

An absolutely stinking performance by one of our country's worst.

Dallas was shocking. After that performance he shouldn’t even be allowed to ref an under 10s game. After the Porteous incident he must be demoted

No chance bingo

Hanlon got the ball, no penalty

Porteous has a bust lip and it happened right in front of the ref

Shaw was shoved in the back and had his shirt pulled on more than a few occasions - not much he can do about it

The ref needs to get a grip

[Carheenlea]

The amount of blatant pushes in the back of Hibs players in full view of him was baffling as to why he chose to ignore them. Won’t go down as a vintage performance for him that’s for sure, but one that will have pleased his old man.

The one where Horgan was near headlocked just outside the box in the first half was up there with the worst non-awards of a free kick I've ever seen.

I was trying to work out if he was giving us an advantage there but afterwards it was Horgan he spoke to, rather than the defender.

Think he was telling him why he didn't give it. If it was advantage, it consisted of Horgan lying on the ground.

[Onion]

Takes a special kind of conceited narcissist to be THAT bad at what you do, get berated all game by players and both sets of fans and yet STILL wants to stay on a a referee. If we had any half decent res in Scotland, Dallas wouldn't get close to officiating matches. He only gets the opportunity because the rest are just as bad.

The head butt was right in front of me, and I thought it was a straight red. It would be great for somebody to explain why a yellow was given.

MacKay-Steven then went on to take the free kick, imagine if he had scored.

[lord bunberry]

:agree: I sit in the West right in line with that and I couldn’t believe that wasn’t a free kick, both the ref and the linesman were looking right at it. It was exactly the same with GMS he clearly head butted Porteous. The fact that Porteous to his credit didn’t make anything of it probably saved the little prick a red card.

[Dublin07]

I don't think he was a bad as most people are saying here. nothing like as bad as last week. The one shocker he had was the red card at the end. he tried to head butt him and caught him in the face which is a red all day long. he was inconsistent with fouls but didn't favour one team over the other like some refs. there were a couple of fouls he missed on shaw but also think shaw allowed himself to be bullied by their defence which kamberi wouldn't do. could have given a penalty to both teams in the first half but I think he got both decisions correct. he tried to play advantage and let the game flow which I like. I watched the game on Hibs TV and the advantage of replays does help when assessing a ref.

In the main I agree with you mate.

I thought he could’ve dished a few more yellow cards out to them in the 2nd half.

[Mr Grieves]

Watching Alba stonewall pen on boyle

Yep, definite pen. Considine has stuck his forearm into Boyle's back and pushed him over

[weecounty hibby]

In a long list of very bad referees he stand head and shoulders above them all as the most incompetent referee. He just seems to have no awareness of anything going on around him. Some of his decisions and non decisions today we're beyond belief

[Scotty Leither]

...and missed by linesman Douglas Ross, who really should be getting on with his day job, as he gave us nowt all day either.

[One Day Soon]

This guy takes incompetence to new levels. Every team must hate having him in charge.

[lord bunberry]

I thought it was him. In the old firm game last season he was extremely vocal when he saw an offence that involved a Celtic player being sent off, but today he turned the other cheek every time. ****ing rat that he is.

[SingaporeHibs]

There is absolutely no defending Dallas on today’s performance, a shocking display. There are actually too many examples from the game today for me to list, I would need to have taken notes to remember them all. Time after time he failed to make the right decisions, a bunch of times he made no decisions at all. No doubt we should have had a penalty and i’m not convinced Hanlon got his toe to the ball either but if anyone can confirm after watching Alba will be happy to hear your thoughts. GMS was a straight red at the end, no debating that one. Porteous took one for the team, he did well to bring GMS down before getting to the box and rightly took his yellow card for it. Dallas totally bottled it at that point. Completely inept.

[kaimendhibs]

Felt it was a very tough game to referee particularly in the second half.

Hibs should have had a penalty and for the Aberdeen one from my view in the east it looked like a close call. He could have easily have given it.

Also booked two Aberdeen players after rash tackles on Boyle. You rarely ever see that.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Anyone seen Shinnie’s tackle (on Mallan?) in the first half back on tv yet? Looked like he flew in and was out of control.

[Brightside]

Terrible performance from all officials....not just for us.

[Ryan91]

Watching the game on Alba and GMS is a very lucky boy, should have been off, knew exactly what he was doing when he caught Porteous.

[jax67]

What a waste of a pair of shorts Dallas is.
He sees things that didn’t happen, misses the
glaring obvious. Just like most referees in Scottish
football to be fair. Can’t stand his pompous attitude though.

[Saturday Boy]

I’m sure his dad will be proud of him.

They’ll probably be polishing the goat in Bonkle tonight.

I’d hoped that the tv coverage might have explained some of his decisions, but sadly they managed to make it look worse.

If the ref had some balls to give free kicks for fouls, Shaw would have been fine today

The Boyle penalty was a stonewaller, and that was proved when Dallas then waved away what looked on TV to be a good penalty claim by them. Clearly a make up call.

That about covers it other than Porteous. It looked a sore one.
Having watched the match again on TV i can report that my fellow Hibees around me in the East managed to get far more decisions wrong than the referee. Bunch of cheats :wink:.
The danger to Dallas was not sending Steven off at the end. As another poster said all hell would have broken lose had Aberdeen scored the winner from his free kick.
Well done Shaw for heading that one away at the near post.

[H18 SFR]

The fourth official roaster that sent Lennon to the stand at Killie last season postponed today's game at Elgin because an area of the pitch was too dry apparently.

[Northernhibee]

Apparently they'd recently put sand on the pitch and it's left gravel like material on that corner. The club should be ensuring the playing surface is suitable.

Watering cans, a hose, a sprinkler will solve the dry patch, the gravel shouldn't be there.

[BoltonHibee]

The standard of refereeing up here is awful at the moment. They do ruin games. He was a complete incompetent clown today.

[Robbo6-2]

Worst thing about today was only 4mins added time.

Aberdeen player was down for 3 minutes at the goal and the same at the one where he faked getting kicked in head. Add Davy grays injury plus all the subs there should of been around 7mins added on.

[Carheenlea]

Just seen the incident with Porteous and GMS and it didn’t look as bad as it initially looked from distance at game. Probably didn’t really merit a red card.

[bookert]

Dallas was bad, but the stand side linesman was shocking. Gripping an opponent round the neck is apparently OK.

Yeah, he got up off the ground right under Porteous nose intentionally striking his chin with his head on the way up.

[0762]

When both sets of supporters are booing the officials off at the end of a game it tells how bad Dallas actually was. Quickly lost control of the match resulting in inconsistent calls throughout the game on both sides.

Ryan P had a fresh air shot at an overhead kick. It was far from clear at the time if there was any contact if that even was the contact. Consadine moved forward and seemed to collapse after the event to waste time. For someone who lay still for a good couple of minutes he was soon trying to get back on the pitch as soon as he free kick was taken.

[Criswell]

Not giving a pen for the blatant push on Boyle set the standard for the rest of the match. They realised they could to get away with shoving and barging our players all afternoon without punishment and they took full advantage.

[JimBHibees]

The constant being able to interrupt the game by stopping free kicks never happens in any other league in the world I don't think apart from here. Incredible gamesmanship which is ignored. The truly bizarre incident when 2 Aberdeen players wrestled Mallan to the ground stopping him playing the ball sums it up. Not fit for purpose. Andrew probably patting himself on the back that a draw improves Rangers position.

I believe that the best refs are seldom seen throughout a game.

Then you have the referees in Scotland, who are so incompetent it's almost beyond belief. Their innate ability to ruin/prevent games of football, aligned to their self aggrandizing and pompous attitude, is now worthy of being reviewed by our governing bodies.

I won't hold my breath.

Not a yellow, Porteous doesn't intentionally kick him, it was an overhead kick which he missed, purely accidental and a simple free kick.

[Pretty Boy]

He just seems to lose control of a game really easily. He lacks authority and I don't think players respect him.

An example would be in the 1st half Aberdeen had a throw in on the East side. Their player stole about 10 yards, Dallas told him to move back, the guy took 2 steps back then preceded to walk about another 4 yards forward, took the throw and Dallas just let it go. It's a small thing but it lets players know they can influence the ref.

He's about as good an example of the 'jobs for the boys' culture that exists in Scottish football as there is.

Totally agree the predominance of west central refs is ridiculous. You are not telling me there are no decent refs from other areas. When you see total incompetents like Muir and Dallas getting top flight games you know something is wrong. No Edinburgh referee getting the Scottish cup final for 100 years says it all.

[Smartie]

Just watched motd and the pundits all appeared to agree that Hogg of Huddersfield deserved to be sent off.

I couldn't believe GMS wasn't sent off - it was as clear a red card as you'll ever see.

The only saving grace is that it was so late in the game it was unlikely to influence anything much.

Been saying the same for more years than I care to remember it is NOT incompetence. (Pity they refer to the Central Belt when they in fact mean Glasgow and the West) but apart from that I fail to see even though this is an old survey why this is not all over all sports media outlets in this country.

Think it is very interesting and factual. The facts are there to see the first time an Edinburgh ref got the Scottish cup final was 107 years after it started. If that isn't very odd I don't know what is. Seems to be a clear bias shown to refs from the West, quelle surprise.

[guidref]

Its no surprise to see articles such as this. I was a member of the Angus referees association and they just get ignored totally by the SFA. I went to a couple of EDRA meetings and training sessions when I moved job and house and they wern't any better.

Agree with this - many Hibs.netters must be as blind as the Sportscene commentator - there is no doubt from the footage that Hanlon got something on the ball.

Re Dallas jnr - the Porteous-McKay-Stevens incident is just one of a number that had me shaking my head in wonder. There was one blatant yellow card foul on Boyle I think, right on the edge of the area (Mallan territory) which was ignored for example.

In his defence though he did play the advantage rule very well - on one occasion letting Boyle continue a run towards goal under a sustained series of assaults from the Aberdeen defence - and waiting until he'd lost the ball to haul back play and book not one but two Aberdeen players for separate challenges. That was excellent ref-ing even if he had me scratching my head in disbelief at other times.

[macca70]

Not a yellow, Porteous doesn't intentionally kick him, it was an overhead kick which he missed, purely accidental and a simple free kick.

Defo a booking. Regardless if it’s accidental, he volleys the Aberdeen player on the forehead with his feet up at head height. That’s dangerous play.
