Nick Walsh

[Stuart93]

In charge of our game at Ibrox on Wednesday.

There’s a guaranteed red card for Porteous

[Bostonhibby]

An odd one to give him as I thought he'd got enough hun loyalty points for the season already.

And a guaranteed penalty

[The Harp Awakes]

The pressure the hun hoards put on Willie Collum yesterday was immense. Sscreaming for free kicks that ever were, etc. To his credit, Collum mostly stood up to them although he did begin to buckle as the game went on.

With sevco minded refs like Walsh and Beaton we're on a hiding to nothing. It doesn't take a lot for the crowd to influence them. Walssh will give them every 50/50 decision guaranteed. The best we can hope for is that he doesn't give them a dodgy game changing decision - pen or a Hibs red card.

[weecounty hibby]

Why don't we as a club comment publicly about the refs like Walsh and Beaton who have consistently screwed us over? The hun demand talks with SFA when they don't get their customary penalty in a game. Celtic have publicly called out refs and have accused them of not getting fair treatment from them.
It's tough at ibrox at anytime but we will get no fair treatment from this clown

[Mike Berry]

Walsh should be ashamed of himself after last time. The pressure on referees will get worse over the next few weeks, because The Rangers really really have to win the league and get automatic CL group stage football next season, or they're ****ed financially.

I predict we'll win at Ibrox and then lose to Arbroath. It's the Hibs way. [emoji102]

Who was the ref on Saturday?

Can’t say I recognised him but he was dreadful. One of my absolute pet hates is people kicking the ball away and getting away with it. St Mirren had two of the most blatant examples of it you’ll ever see on Saturday and the ref done nothing. The second time (think it was Shaughnessy) he actually gestured as if to say I’ll be adding that time on so he clearly seen it.

I'd like to see the non-OF clubs getting together and tackling the problem jointly. That way the argument would carry more weight.

The problem is these refs can get away with the dodgy decisions in a single game and they have no accountability. There needs to be more scrutiny on the performance of these refs over a period of time.

[gbhibby]

There was a twitter post that Ryan had been sent off by Walsh ahead of the game. Thought that was funny.

[SteveHFC]

He will give them 2 penalties and sent off a few of our players.

I'd like to add a law to the game wherein if the team kick the ball away and it ends up closer to their own goal, that the free kick in question can be moved to there.

If its kicked away from their goal, you can move it forward 20 yards.

I’d like the clock to be stopped when the ball is not in play. Free kicks,goal kicks, throw ins, injuries, substitutions and the like. They could waste time till all they want. We wouldn’t be getting home til midnight right enough but would make the time wasting irrelevant other than breaking momentum.

I hope we are in a position a game changing decision actually matters.

[green.oracle]

It beggars belief that Nick Walsh gets this fixture for two reasons.

1) - He had the corresponding fixture at ipox earlier on this season where three game changing decisions (no to mention several biased ones) took place.

a) - lundstrems lunge at Doig in the 3rd minute. A lot worse than Porteous.
b) - Porteous's ludicrous sending off for winning the ball and not touching aribo. 2nd time he's sent Porteous off against sevc0 for having the audacity
to put in hard tackles winning the ball.
c) - failure to give barisic a second yellow for his assault on Boyle with the score at 1-1.

2) - He refereed sevco's game at Ross County 10 days ago. How can he get two sevco games in 10 days? Unheard of. Maybe being given the chance to
make amends for the points dropped in Dingwall.

It's long overdue that Hibs should be pointing out this referee's history to SPFL BEFORE the game. Don't forget in 2016/17 He sent Bartley off twice which were both rescinded on appeal.

The man may well be incompetent, but the evidence above leads to him being biased.

KP - Do you know if Hibs have made any noises about this appointment?

[Hibiza]

John Beaton - drinking in a Sevco pub in Bellshill or some nearby Oasis , after the Last min pen game , allegedly.

[Alfred E Newman]

Given the controversy surrounding our last visit it is a strange choice of ref, or maybe not. :rolleyes:

As I have stated on other threads, this would only work if the other clubs stopped laughing at something happening to their rivals!
If you complain after its sour grapes, and if you complain before its trying to compromise the referee?
Just take the Hearts relegation fiasco, all the other clubs just looked after themselves nothing to do with integrity or fairness!!!

[OstKurve Hibs]

Nothin is ever said because the board are clearly spineless and scared to bring up the issue.

[1 8 7 5]

Who actually decides which ref gets what?

Not which organisation... who within in?

Why do so many refs come from the same areas?

How can a ref, referee the same team twice in 10days?

How can a ref, referee a team they support?

Who are the referees accountablw to?

Why is Scotland the bentest in Europe when it comes to officiating.?

Why does every club put up with it, all the time?

3) His blatant conflict of interest.

4) He's never sent off a Rangers player but has sent off 5 of their opponents (Porteous twice).

Heard about his hun connections after Porteous sending off
It beggars belief that he is anywhere near Rangers games only in Scotland

[davhibby]

The 2 Bartley reds were both horrific decisions, with the one at Raith probably being the worst I’ve ever seen in the flesh. How he was doing things like that in the championship and ended up as one of our top refs I’ll never know

We're they him too? He must have an agenda against us. :grr:

[Carheenlea]

It`s a real shame we couldn't get one of the many proficient Scottish referees for this game. A real slice of bad luck.

Walsh wasn't the ref at Raith it was a guy called Steven Finnie another WOS crap refs. Agree it was the worst decision I have ever seen. There was no foul never mind a red card. Not long after Walsh sent him off v Ayr so they were probably both laughing about it at ref training

[JimBHibees]

More chance of winning the lottery than getting one of them. Have no doubt with the OF neck and neck in a title decider run in the level of horrific decisions will be off the scale in the next few months. If they aren't winning tomorrow expect one or more get out of jail free cards.

[expresso]

Huns have only lost once with Walsh the referee in charge.

There's ref training?

[MikeyS]

Has he sent off Porto twice or three times?

[Sir David Gray]

Has he sent off Porto twice or three times?

Twice.

[MikeyS]

Twice.

👍🏻

[gbhibby]

Fergie used to stir things up before games in Glasgow and at times would make reference to the ref. Should be doing the same get the mind games going.

[MKHIBEE]

There's ref training?

There is, first item on the list is entitled “ What to do if any of the bigot brothers look in danger of dropping points “

[gbhibby]

My dad who was a ref when we played against them and we took the lead would say that it's in their DNA to go for a penalty and usually within 5 minutes somebody would go down in the box and invariably get a spot kick awarded.

[JimBHibees]

There's ref training?

:greengrin just to decide which Hibs player to send off next week

[PatHead]

Wonder if the ref gets bonus points if the Hibs player is suspended for the Scottish Cup as well.

[Jpdhfc]

We should just play our youth team no suspension worries for the red cards we pick up in these games.

[Bostonhibby]

There's ref training?Here you go

It was a penalty. If that same incident happened at the other end though do you think Walsh would have given the penalty?

I'd also love Walsh to explain how he somehow failed to book Morelos in that half. Outrageous.

Why not give them 3 just for good measure.

Hasn't done much wrong for me today other than maybe the arfeild challenge

I can't understand how Arfield wasn't booked for that challenge on Porto or Morelos for multiple dives.

Decent game from Walsh tonight.

Have to agree one of the better refereeing displays this season

[A Hi-Bee]

A hun is a hun is a hun, no change he done his bit early on, cruised the rest of the game so the greyskull hordes will love him.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Nobody think we should have had a penalty for the foul on Porto?

I thought it looked a penalty, would have been good to see a few more replays.

Should have had a penalty for the foul on Porteous in the box which he of course inexplicably gave to Rangers.

Should have been a red for Arfield. Straight leg, studs up, waist height, caught the player. Shocking challenge that was just lucky there wasn’t more contact as it could have been a very bad one.

Aribo with a blatant dive, not booked.

Morelos with a dive, maybe slightly less blatant, not booked.

[Callum_62]

Decent game from Walsh tonight.Pen on Porto

Aribo and particulary Morelos not being booked for some blatent dives

That constitutes decent I suppose

It’s really pissed me off that one.

Porteous is running towards the ball. The rangers player is behind him, puts his arms around him and pulls him to the ground, that much so that he has to go to ground with Porteous to do it. It’s not a half arsed grapple, it’s a full on rugby tackle.

Foul to Rangers.

It’s as clear a penalty as you’ll ever see. Watching these things get airbrushed out of the highlights show for Scottish football is becoming a joke. As clear an attempt at sweeping it under the carpet as you’ll ever see.

[Boyle89]

What chance have you got eh. Ref and media on their side. Var is an absolute must! Highlight this 'ineptitude' as much as possible.

Yeah the foul itself is bad enough. Then to have the ref give a foul the other way. Then for it to be cut from the highlights when the celtic aberdeen game they at least showed the aberdeen penalty shout. Just too much. The sooner var is here the better cause theres just no point playing anymore.

I agree with you regarding var as that would have been given ( just seen it a few minutes ago ) but rangers would have got another penalty as well when their player was barged in the back , can’t remember who it was.

Why would Hibs tv cut it out if Maloney directly commented in it? Do Hibs have control of the edit or are they given highlights from someone else?

There have been a few Hibs incidents which sportscene conveniently haven't covered
