Kevin Clancy

[Scottie]

Shocking 45 minutes of referring from this cheat and his assistants. Some absolute dreadful decisions that will go unchecked once again. :fuming:

[Pretty Boy]

Celtic are, nowadays, very much an establishment club and as such get the decisions that go with it.

Establishment club, establishment cheats, huns in green.

[soupy]

He's lost the plot, I hope Hecky calls him out after the game, brutal refereeing 😕😕

[HibbyAndy]

How ntcham never saw red is truly beyond belief

[hibee_girl]

Don’t worry guys, these things even themselves out so that should mean we’ll get one in our favour 2nd half 🙄

[I'm_cabbaged]

Is anyone wathing it on the box, wtf did Forrest get a foul for?

[zitelli62]

The guys a cheat and a clown.

[hfc rd]

S****!

Doing everything he can to help Celtic here.

Fuming would be an understatement just now on how I’m feeling towards this prick!

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Yet we still don’t have accountability in the game for refs
Cheating bar steward
Hope hecky rips him a new one

[Heisenberg]

Is anyone wathing it on the box, wtf did Forrest get a foul for?

It was a foul. Can’t mind the player but they caught Forrest on the heel. His decision to give a foul before that when there wasn’t one was mental.

[HibeeHibernian4]

Celtic are an establishment club and everything they pretend to hate.

[Ardenttwo]

How ntcham never saw red is truly beyond belief


The rules of the game have changed when you get a red card for kicking a water bottle but only yellow when throwing a punch. Feel sorry for our lads playing against 12 men. F*****g raging

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Is anyone wathing it on the box, wtf did Forrest get a foul for?

Went down holding his face

Wasn’t a foul nor near his face

We should have had got the Ball back or Celtic should have returned it to us

Celtic and the gfa are cheating ****s

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Worst was when Celtic player slipped on the edge of the box and they get the free kick

[Sir David Gray]

Corrupt *******s.

[Since452]

Worst refereeing performance I've ever seen. If it isn't cheating it's utter incompetence

[Swedish hibee]

Sh*te.
I've seen many games where players have been sent off for less. Bottled it.

[SRHibs]

He had a disastrous game, but it was in our favour the second half at least.

[hibee_girl]

He’ll be devastated he couldn’t orchestrate a Celtic win

[ahibby]

He could have and should have given them two penalties, let us of the hook.

[calumhibee1]

He’s a cheat.

[neil7908]

An absolutely disgraceful performance that will no doubt go unpunished.

[ShetlandHibby]

Strange performance. Gave them everything first half then denied them two stonewall pens in the second half

[hibee_girl]

Heckingbottom slating him on tv right now

[Scottie]

Heckingbottom slating him on tv right now
And rightly so. Disgusting decision right in front of his face not to send Ntcham off for a hand to the face of Vela. :rolleyes:

[brog]

Worst was when Celtic player slipped on the edge of the box and they get the free kick

It should probably have been a penalty as well. As for the Forrest one it probably was a foul but since when were 4th officials allowed to make decisions?

[Doh Rae Me]

Ntcham should have been sent off but they should have had 2 penalties. I'd say his performance was consistent. Lol

[we are hibs]

Haven’t seen any TV replay but from where I was it looked as though he blew because player down injured. If it wasn’t a head knock, then why stop the game?

Overall he definitely had a mare but that 10-15 minutes in the first half was bizarre - even by Clancy’s eccentric standards!!:confused::rolleyes:

[overdrive]

Clancy is sometimes on my bus in the morning... he’s going to get an earful from me on Monday if he’s on it. Corrupt cheat.

Did him falling make him take Middleton out?

[hibIBZ]

Poor performance today. Red card missed, farce around the free kick they ended up scoring from, brown could of gone for a second yellow, Celtic possibly could of had 2 penalties. Just a generally poor performance all round

[B.H.F.C]

Lennon saying they should have had two penalties. I think the could have had one.

Heckingbotton slaughtering him as well, rightly so because they should have been down to ten.

Because he handled the game so poorly it got to a point where every foul was ending up a booking in the second half.

[Hibbyradge]

He’s a cheat.

He cheated for us today, in that case.

Does anyone think the two penalty incidents in the second half would have occurred if Celtic were losing and a man down for the majority of the game?

[ahibby]

He is just a usless **** helps to make Scottish Fitba a joke on the telly.

He made a couple of mistakes but I thought he got most things right and fair enough. He didn't see the slip, only the hand on the back which had nothing to do with the fall but he saw both going down and presumed. He let us of with one or maybe two penalties to compensate.

[Deansy]

It's long past the time when referees should be held to some degree of accountability in games - players and managers are so why not referees, they are part of the game are they not ?. Of course, we all know that's something the GFA will fight to the bitter end to oppose - anything that reduces their power to fix the league to the 'Old S*um's benefit is a no-no !

[B.H.F.C]

Does anyone think the two penalty incidents in the second half would have occurred if Celtic were losing and a man down for the majority of the game?

Possibly. Even with ten men they’d still have been pushing for a goal.

[Hibee Mac]

Why was Lennon allowed to enter the pitch and help initiate a quick free kick for Celtic at one stage?

Just unbelievable I couldn't believe what I was seeing, simply begs the question what the **** are the officials watching?

[eastmainsmsh]

shocking today

[One Day]

What bus is that we'll all get on it

[heretoday]

Shoot the ref!

[Crab apple]

He’s hugely incompetent. Vela gets a slap/punch in the face directly in front of Clancy and he chooses to issue only a yellow as well as giving Vela a yellow too!

[percy veer]

He warned Lennon to stay back.

After an earful from the hibs bench

[GlesgaeHibby]

So were the two penalty calls, both penalties all day long.

[Lago]

That is the one decision that to me sums him up, an obvious slip & gives a foul against Hibs, shocking.

[A Hi-Bee]

So 2 wrongs make a right then eh! the guys a ****in clown and should not be allowed to ref first class games. Bent as a five bob note.

[Joe Baker2]

shouldn't be allowed to ref another match. Shocking.

[SingaporeHibs]

I’m always moaning about how bad our refs are in Scotland but rarely do you see a performance as disgraceful as that one. Absolutely horrific from start to finish. He knew it as well and after giving so many horrific decisions against us he ended up ‘trying to level things out’. Of course he could never quite level things out but we could easily have seen a penalty against us had he not known he likely pushed his luck to far with earlier calls.
That was one of the worst displays from a ref ever and that goes some given what i’ve Witnessed over the years.

[J-C]

Celtic should've been down to 9, 1 for lifting his hands and Brown for going in with the studs on Allan for a 2nd yellow, bog standard shocking refereeing.

On a side note, is there any wee niggle between Allan and Brown, they went at it all game, any possible reason why Allan never got a look in at Celtic.

Yip allan certainly wasnt holding back against brown, was quite a good battle between the 2

[The Harp Awakes]

Clancy is one of the worst refs in Scotland. He sbsolutely hates Hibs so it's quite incredible that he didn't give at least 1 penalty to them.

Can only think he realised he'd made 2 blatant mistakes in favour of Celtic in the 1st half and tried to even things up.

[CathroMustStay]

He could have and should have given them two penalties, let us of the hook.

Indeed.

Clancy is biased towards incompetence, no matter what team(s) is involved.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Being at the game I’ll have to rewatch the highlights
But were there actually 2 decent shouts for penalties for Celtic?
And not just the away end screaming for it

[weecounty hibby]

He was a total disgrace today. The penalty incidents were at the far end from where I sit but didn't look anything clear cut. The decisions to leave Ntcham and Brown on the park were shockers. He totally shat the Brown decision and gave a throw in to Hibs. Straight leg, studs up second yellow all day. Ntcham, hands up at opposition players face straight red all day. The decision to give celtic a free kick in the lead up to their goal was apparently given by 4th official. Not sure how that actually works? Then it was very obvious that the Hibs players, as we had the ball, thought it was a drop ball. He should have made it very clear that it was a free kick as when celtic took it most of our team were out of position. The free kick he gave celtic when their left back slipped was beyond belief as well. It's clowns line him that make Scottish football a joke

[One Day Soon]

Been quite a while since I've such refereeing buffoonery. And a 4th official who can interfere on a free kick but not on a red card hands to face episode?

It was a toxic mix of incompetence and pro-uglies officialdom today.

Agree all of that, except the celtic pen ones, I have watched it back since I got home and at least one was a pen. So, more incompetence from Clancy and the standside lino.

He had a mare. If anyone was cheating it was the 4th officials pulling up the so called foul on Forrest before the goal. Probably just because he received an earful from Hecky about the slip earlier.

[HibeeHibernian4]

See those people who were telling me a few months back that referees arent biased and arent cheats. Explain that today?

Refs (sub)consciously bow to the pressure by the Old Firm’s larger support and bigger media limelight. It’s not deliberately setting out to cheat or be biased towards them, it’s being presented with a decision and knowing that giving it the Old Firm’s way (rather than Hibs’) will cause far less outrage if you get it wrong.

Good point when do they ever give a foul and get involved. Clancy is apparently the head of one of the main ref organisations which is basically a cabal of West of Scotland refs who imo will always favour west teams.

[Hibbyradge]

I agree. I thought he would be sent off when I first saw it.

He was very lucky to only get a yellow.

[Chorley Hibee]

I would hope the compliance officer is reviewing the Ntcham incident, but I wouldn't be so stupid as to believe that this applies to contentious decisions involving Celtic/Rangers (delete as applicable).

[davhibby]

The goal came from the freekick he gave Celtic in the box when Bauer slipped, Middleton was back up and had a great chance inside the box. Instead they went up the park and won the freekick they scored from. The way he handled that was terrible and it was clear that half the team thought we were getting the ball back. The red card incident is just a joke. As Hecky put it in his BBC interview, the two Celtic penalties are irrelevant as the game would have been totally different if we’d been playing against 10 men for an hour

How could glancy not see that when he moved in to separate them.Shoud have gone to specsavers

[Callum_62]

Everybody is an expert after watching tv replays from various angles, referees don't have that.Interestingly enough - the angle that shows this the best and looks the worst is pretty much the exact view Clancy had

He saw it he chose not to send off the Glasgow team player. Does anyone honestly think the same would have happened the other way around? Not a chance.

[MWHIBBIES]

Take it you missed the two stonewallers he didn't give Celtic today. You're barking way up the wrong tree.

Would those indicents have happened in Celtic had 10 men?

[rotherhamrob]

I've just watched the highlights and correct me if I'm wrong but if the ball hits the referee is it not supposed to be a drop ball?
To me that's what appeared to happen on the lead up to horgans tackle on bauer in the box, it looked as if the ball came of clancys heel straight to a celtic player.

Not a chance in Hell. The Celtic players would have been all over Clancy and a red card produced before the Celtic player hit the ground - guaranteed.

And as others have said, that changes everything else about the game from that point on. Celtic can't claim the 2 pen incidents and the 1-1 becomes a good point for Celtic. IMO the first major mistake by Clancy is by far and away the most important. Ad ever, it's in the Glasgow team's favour.

[Todi114]

It would have been hilarious if Clancy had given a penalty and VAR had disallowed due to the referee touching the ball

[Hibernian Verse]

Would those indicents have happened in Celtic had 10 men?Probably not IMO, but it doesnt change the fact he was appaling for both teams!

The establishment always give that helping hand.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

With "displays " like that by officials, what really matters are the questions asked and subsequent actions taken by the referees bosses. Fan's opinions don't come in it. If there is nothing said or done then they start to erode their own credibilty.

[twiceinathens]

Referees are often used as excuses for results for after a team's poor performances and accused of bias, but this was an example of clear consistency - consistent ineptitude Both sides suffered from nonsensical decisions.

[Deansy]

You could see from the back of the East Stand what was happening today.

Refs like most of Scottish Football are poor.

They need help and giving them a microphone to explain decisions and even a VAR type 5th official would go a long way to making the game more transparent and fair.

If Edinburgh v Glasgow rugby rugby can do it why can’t Scottish Football?


The GFA would have kittens if that was introduced into the game -

'Penalty for ra teddy-bears - we arra peepil - ****** ye's ya Edinburra bassas !!'

I am going to show my ignorance here but, can someone please explain the exact role of the 4th official. Listening to Hecky it was thet4th official that called the foul for Celtic that led to their goal, not the match ref. Is that part of his role?

It shouldn't be, that's why PH was so frustrated.

[The Green Goblin]

I can ony hope compliance officer takes a look at that incident where hands were raised.Not sure what ruling is as that impostor called glancy has booked them both.

If he does, expect Vela to be cited too (just because)

[CMurdoch]

Anybody suspect that he knew he'd ballsed it up in the first half and the penalty decisions in the second were an attempt at evening things up a bit?

Yeh, human nature. A lot of pressure on one wee human heid.
In the end the decisions evened up and the result was about right.
As usual fans of both teams greeting.

I agree with a poster above who said he should have made it clear to the Hibs players that it was a free kick for a foul in the first half. The Celtic players obviously knew and equally the Hibs players didn't. Then he sent Hecky off and the whole thing blew up and he was never on top of things after that as he tried to even things up. The harder he tried the more he messed up and the more the teams and fans got annoyed. However, i would contend we did get the right result all things considered.

[sean04]

Does anybody have a clipof the incident when Bauer slipped in his box and ref gave them a foul?

Will be on Sportscene shortly

[Jones28]

Woukd be good to see a stat of how many decisions the 4th officials give over a season, if that was an old firm game the papers would have a field day tomorrow

I’ve never heard of a fourth official actually giving a foul before. I thought they were advisory?

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Do you think it will

I’m not so sure

I hope you’re right but creative editing/highlights are a stable of that show

Wasn’t criticising you pal

Just genuine wonder if it would be highlighted

Apparently Kevin Clancy is the ref for Spurs V Bayern Munich tonight! eek!

Incompetence simply fills the gaps when they are not being deliberately biased :cb

[cookin_on_gaz]

Surely the fourth official would have had a good view of the Ntcham incident. If he gives the foul that led to their goal then he has to also tell the ref that Ntcham souk have walked.

And on another note I also remember Johnsons yellow card against celtic being upgraded to red last season and that was for a genuine attempt to get the ball.

It was absolutely clear from the highlights of the Celtic goal that a few of the Hibs players thought it was a drop ball. Both Allan and Middleton are up the pitch expecting Hibs to get the ball and also not covering back hence the reason Bauer has the run of the right wing and provides an assist. The more you think about it the stranger that passage of play gets culminating with a non-red card a few minutes later. Absolutely corrupt IMO.

Even from a distance at the match it seemed to me that McGregor was asking the ref what he should do.The ref kind of gestured in the direction of our goal which I took to mean”give the ball back”.Obviously it didn’t but any Hibs player who saw this might have thought the same.I didn’t at any time see him indicate a free kick.

[MartinfaePorty]

Had a look for this last night. Don't have the exact quote, but it seems to have changed recently to say all officials are to assist the ref with decisions, where necessary. Something I read previously mentioned only in certain circumstances, but that seems to have been taken out and 4th official lumped in with the rest under Assistants.

[hibbysam]

The biggest issue for me with the ‘foul’ is not once does he hand signal for a foul. He simply blows his whistle and wanders over, and then once he drops the ball he doesn’t whistle, he just allows play to go on, again no signal for free kick.

[bigwheel]

Happened in the United vs Arsenal game last night too. Fourth official corrected the direction Friend gave a free kick when McTominay and Pepe came together.

I don’t think Clancy had anything approaching a good game on Saturday but not through any bias. They absolutely should have had 2 penalties, in addition to the missed red and debacle at the equaliser.

[Smartie]

Interesting to see that Celtic heads have well and truly gone after the weekend, with (amongst other things) the General Secretary of the Celtic Supporters Association entering "open letter" territory and John James using photos of handshakes between Andy Halliday and Kevin Clancy to prove masonic conspiracy was behind Celtic's failure to get certain decisions at the weekend.

I mean - WTF?

I wonder how the failure to send off Ntcham fits into that theory?

This might be a bit controversial, but I actually wouldn’t mind seeing the Huns win it. A treble treble is absolutely embarrassing for Scottish football. And I’d love to see Celtic fans faces if they lost out. Imagine a helicopter Sunday situation but playing Celtic at Easter road and lost the title. Oh that would be wonderful.

Absolutely. My disgust for them wanes when the other comes to Easter road.

[Sir David Gray]

My ideal scenario is that a team outwith Glasgow (but not Hearts) somehow prevents Celtic from getting 10 in a row.

Sadly that'll never happen and the only team capable of stopping them is Sevco but you can dream.

[Carheenlea]

Celtic or Rangers winning the league is all the same thing to me really.

[Hibby70]

How about the Huns do it then go bust in the summer. Ideal scenario.

[BlackSheep]

Clancy sidelined this weekend by the SFA according to the media... nothing written to say its directly due to mistakes made last week but he won't ref any matches in any Scottish games this weekend.

No doubt it will be glossed over as resting him after reffing the Spurs v Bayern U19s match midweek to save face.

[Halmyre Hibee]

Sidelined for not giving Celtic 2 penalties rather than not sending Ntcham off I would imagine.

What's embarrassing for Scottish Football is that for the last thirty four years, all league wins have been shared between two clubs.

Having another club called Rangers winning the league isn't gonna make it any less embarrassing.

Think Clancy chairs one of the ref committees so no doubt take him out the firing line for a week then normal service is resumed. Not often I agree with Levein but this article explains clearly the problem all top refs live in Glasgow area. 3 Edinburgh refs have reffed the Scottish cup final in 145 years. Basically institutional bias. Worth a read.

Interesting article, especially the part where Levein outlines the wording of the retrospective action rule, where it no longer says an incident is reviewed if completely missed by the ref but now, most importantly, reads that if the ref misses an important aspect of an incident.... say hands to the face of an opposing player during a scuffle.... which should result red card.... like at the weekend with Ntcham!!!

Absolute joke the SFA are!

I don't think Clancy missed the hands on face. He deemed it not to be sufficiently violent as to warrant a red card.

Whether we, or the SFA, agree with that or not, retrospective action isn't appropriate.

Agree he seen it and clearly bottled it no doubt based on strip the aggressor was wearing. Has he ever and I mean ever given us any sort of meaningful decision. He chairs one of the refereeing committees and Imo won't have been happy when Hecky said last season about knocking teeth out of 4th official who had sworn at him. Don't think we have had a decision since.

If a referee fails to carry out his responsibilities then there should be repercussions.

A player would be dropped if he failed in his responsibilities, a manager would be sacked.

Why is action against a referee not appropriate?

See no problem with that. Problem comes when a Hibs player does exact same thing to a Celtic player. We all know what Clancy's interpretation and action would have been.
