Honestly, he hates us. Gives us nothing. Id love to see some stats on bookings.

Hes a disgrace but unless Hibs say something then it’ll continue & we know we won’t say nowt. How he gets away week after week is beyond me.

I don't like him at all. Clancy has done us over in a few games.
I'll play devil's advocate here and say the really daft thing by claiming he's merely incompetent (even though he seems to be more incompetent against us than for.)

Triantis puts in a tackle first minute booked
McMann hits him with two similar tackles leaving him in a crumpled heap nothing
Ball hits an Ayr defender on the hand in the box decision corner no VAR

Please don't say Craig Thomson is from a different generation. Hugh Dallas and Willie Young etc I can accept but I'm very shortly 40 and saying Thompson is a different generation is giving me the fear 🤣

Loves a pen to the opposition when he's refereeing us.

I'm pretty sure he grew up a Celtic fan, I can't think of any reason why one of them would have a grudge against us to that extent, I just think he's a genuinely abysmal referee, baffles me how someone considered him good enough to be a grade 1 ref.

It's to be expected quite often for officials in Scotland to make so called "baffling" decisions against Hibs.
Anyway there are plenty Celtic fans who hate hibs.

Remember that dive from Vargas that he gave, then after being shown by Var it was a blatant dive he still gave it? That's not incompetence unless he's lost the ability of sight.

Hibs shouldn't let that joke of a performance go without comment tonight, regardless of getting through the tie.
Clancy is a disgrace. He shouldn't be allowed to referee Hibs games

There must have been at least 6 blatant fouls on Hibs players in that game that he waved aside. The worst of the lot was the foul on Bowie at the end, after which Ayr came close to scoring.

Shocking refereeing performance.. it was almost like he was reffing as if there was VAR. thought we should have had two pens and not sure about triantis booking early doors. He also let a few fouls on hibs players slide that are hard to explain. I think he is just utterly incompetent and am sure fans of most clubs would probably agree.
Blatant cheat - would not be tolerated in any other country.

I think he was referreeing in the full knowledge that there was no VAR so he he could do what he wanted.

Send him down a couple of leagues and monitor/educate him.
As it is its Scotland and he's let loose on top flight games as well as being paid to do VAR - and when he's doing that he stinks.

He was! I think you're right. It's like he properly upset his masters that day and has been making up for it ever since. Like Steven McLean in the cup final. But Clancy is in a league of his own!

Last night highlights three issues
One some of these cup games will have VAR this gives an unfair advantage to other teams,we could have been two or three up if the non decisions were reviewed
Two 'crap refs' have become reliant on VAR to cover their backs by making decisions given what the ref 'missed'
Three Ayr if they go up are on a steep learning curve next year...

Clancy was var at dons game too, so that's two goes he's had in a week at 'hibsing' it come on SFA we can all see you. It was brilliant on Saturday when Robertson knew what he was up to and denied him
Fifeshirehibs
08-02-2025, 07:57 AM
If only Var had been there last night, Don Robertson on duty , and he sent Clancy over to the monitor for THREE Hibs pens. Clancy is comedy gold when he gets sent to Var, the how dare you look on his face and his ministry of silly runs over to the screen.

"No doubt he will arrive pissed off that Don Robertson didn't give that ludicrous "handball" on Saturday."
The above is what I posted last week when it was announced that Clancy would be ref last night.
Seems to me that's exactly what happened.
