What a shock who our ref is on Saturday

[EHZERO7]

Well no really

Brother Beaton

[Libby Hibby]

Tin hat on.

I don’t mind him when we are not playing any of the OF or Hertz.

[Ron D Hibbie]

David Dickinsons punishment for his honest mistake on saturday is a trip to ross county on saturday. Ridiculous that he still gets a top flight game. Just proves they can do what they want and get away with it.

[Lago]

Well no really

Brother Beaton
The problem is Scotland is a small football nation and consequently the available referee pool is also small, therefore the same guys are back at the scene of their last crime too quickly.

[CapitalGreen]

Well no really

Brother Beaton

We have a quite decent record in games which he has been the referee.

[JimBHibees]

Have we? Certainly not against Hearts

[hibsbollah]

I dont know who he is but ill be stunned if hes not from Lanarkshire or Renfrewshire or somewhere like that.

[Hibbyradge]

I could have been the referee against them and we'd still have a sheite record!

If a referee is found guilty of 3 ‘honest’ ( ha ha ) mistakes, he should be dropped to a lower level for, say, ten games or more. In addition, VAR operatives should be punished as well. I think we would soon see ‘honest’ mistakes drop drastically.

I hope block 7 don't display a certain banner on Saturday , beaton might get annoyed about it ! .

[Keith_M]

Isn't John Beaton a Motherwell Supporter?

If they do & we get beat ,folk on here will blame them regardless of his decisions or our performance

He is from Motherwell but is a big currant bun

Unless ofc it is in the topflight in Glasgow.

[Gloucester Hibs]

In the same way Jim Traynor was an Airdrie supporter?

Not so sure about that.

Why should lower league teams get punished with these imbeciles??

Highly disrespectful approach IMO, they should be dropped from the refereeing roster altogether for a week or 2 in the scenario you describe (if numerically possible)

Funny that.

Aye, but who's gonna find them 'Guilty'?

These guys 'Mark their own homework'.

In an odd way though, that is exactly the problem.

[Sparrows tongue]

Aye, and Chic Young a St Mirren supporter. :agree:

[Steve20]

He's not the reason we've lost to Hearts before.

Maybe if our squad weren't so spineless, it wouldn't matter who the ref was.

[DickieDastardly]

Forget the ref, just produce a good performance and give us three very needed points....

[scoopyboy]

Have we? Certainly not against Hearts

Name a referee that Hibs have a good record against Hearts with?

[Keith_M]

He is from Motherwell but is a big currant bun


:aok:

Remember when I was still playing E of S league and Rowbotham did indeed get demoted for a while. Reffed one of our games and I was surprised to find out how poor he was. Although, any referee could in theory get allocated E of S games but didn't happen often. Another one was Bill Crombie, again poor. Like he didn't want to be there. Best ref ever was Underwood. Brilliant referee. (Can't recall first name without looking up).

John Underwood orcwas it John Underhill?. A very nice guy and good referee

[stantonhibby]

Underhill. He's now a Professor of something up in Aberdeen

[Hibees1973]

Correct.

if we defend like we have in the last 3 months in the SPFL we are not winning this game either.

[Donegal Hibby]

Even with Beaton refereeing I wouldn't be surprised if we got a penalty this weekend considering what happened against Aberdeen. Wonder what odds on us getting a penalty are ? .

[overdrive]

Underhill. He's now a Professor of something up in Aberdeen

He was at Heriot Watt when I was a student there and he was refereeing. Probably the best referee of that era and that was probably down to him being English and not having any bias.

[Bakerman]

Well no really

Brother Beaton

I'm more concerned at who's sitting in the van these days, glad to hear its not David Dickinson, but could be someone just as glaikit, and fake tanned. :greengrin

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Wonder wha t Mark Clattenbeurg would make of his ref analysis of Beaton (sorry iof Nottingham Forest employing his services in this role -wonder what he does?)

Fair enough, without my gregory's I'd be lucky to see the keyboard at all lol...

[Silky]

Could be worse. Could have Clancy with Alan Muir on VAR at Tynie. Oh, wait a minute..................

Staunch blue nose.
