Can’t recall seeing much of him before but I thought he was ok . Let the game flow and blew for fouls when he had to. Maybe should have flashed a card earlier for the foul on Boyle but other than that he helped contribute to an entertaining afternoon.

He was pish. Needlessly picky and I can’t believe their player didn’t get a yellow for the shirt pull near the end. 4-0 up and dying embers of the game or not it was a joke of a decision.

Was a little inconsistent at times but otherwise one of the better refereeing performances this season.

We never gave him a reason to get involved. Thankfully.

Quiet enough day for him, never noticed him that often so that can only be a good sign for a ref.

Failed to dish out yellows for blatant pull backs on Bowie and Triantis had me searching for his name on my Programme : Chris Graham
Would have been docked marks by any Supervisor

Two Dundee fouls should have been yellows but i thought he was mostly fine. Wasnt really that sort of game where he needed to get involved.

Opinions, eh? :greengrin
Thought he was way to quick with the whistle in unnecessary situations, and way to lenient with some of the 'robust' challenges... but meh! I'll take the win :thumbsup:

Let Dundee away with a few and blew the whistle a number of times when he could have just allowed play to continue. That makes him an outstanding referee by comparison to the average standard of referee in Scotland though.

I doubt there will ever be an easier game than that to referee and he still made a mess of quite a few decisions. Two certain yellow cards not shown to Dundee, stopping play for offside when no need and just being fussier than needed. Both teams played good football and there was hardly any anti football on show but the ref did his best to slow things down

Shudda booked Smith for taking 10 minutes to take a goal kick when Bowie was pushing for a hat-trick at the end

Agree with Wookie that quickly taken offside free kick in the first half getting pulled up was fussy in the extreme but seen worse a lot worse

Gave a foul throw early on (for not having both feet on the ground when the throw-in was made) - I can't recall the last time I saw a referee give a foul throw.

Proper 'by the book' guy... except his book's been out of print for 20 years

That's what I thought as well.
