Assuming complaining about decisions only works if you fit into a criteria of club e.g old firm. Think Hibs mentioned we have spoken to the head ref guy whoever that is more than once this season. Clearly has just irked them and they are determined to not give us a bolt and actively do us over. Last three league games have had huge game changing decisions ignored for us and given to opposition. Just knew Muir would do us over when announced especially given his previous. We are struggling but wow those decisions could cost us millions.

Our “chat” seems to have backfired a bit with decisions getting worse by the week.

There’s a danger though that we start using bad refereeing as an excuse and a smokescreen for our poor results and performances.

Standard of match officials is the least of our concerns.

We are definitely not a good team and have much to improve on though to me and Maloney will know that better than anyone however these are not minor decisions and cost us points at a massive stage in the season. These decisions have the potential to put us up in bottom 6 and a week after a decent cup win the pressure is back on. These are not unconnected and both impact each other especially with a young team. Performance yesterday was reasonable and we were comfortable leading against an Aberdeen team struggling to create first pen gives them an undeserved lifeline second one finishes the game.

Never mind Scottish Fitba spending all that cash on VAR, just use it to bring in a bunch of Maltese Refs or some other country and we shall see a lot of the dodgy decisions suddenly go away.
Simples, it really is, take away the ingrained agenda in our game and then we may have a more level playing field, we can never compete financially, but at times we can compete on the pitch given a fair break..

VAR is coming sooner rather than later.

It will make no difference, perhaps give them even more dodgy decisions as the same ingrained people will be watching the VAR, so all you do is double the initial problem, just disguise it, or hold your hands over your eyes and you cannie see the problem and they cannie see you.
Go overseas and spend the money.

Aberdeen have always had lots of SFA help so they are in the same special club as the Old firm for some reason
