Ref for final (Craig Thomson) merged

[Hibs07p]

I think this is one that Calum Murray shouldn't be allowed anywhere near due to his affiliations with Hearts. This isn't a derby with only 3 points at stake, this is an historic occasion that shouldn't be reffed by a Jambo. I don't really have a preference for anyone else, but I don't want any referree that is perceived to be a Jambo. Any other referrees out there with a Jambo connection?

Don't know of any Jambo ref's, but I reckon that Craig Thomson is a stick-on for the gig. He's our 'top ref', apparently, and didn't get either semi.

I spoke to Murray's brother about this very subject last week.

The good news is that Murray isn't in the running for this as he refereed the cup final last year.

I'm not sure who would be best TBH, Dougie MacDonald to come out of retirement for one last game would get my vote!

Can we have the semi-final ref as he did a decent job

Willie Collum.

I agree, thought he was decent enough on Saturday. What I liked was that he seemed to realise the occasion and tried to keep his cards in his pocket and have a word rather than flashing yellow cards every 2 seconds for niggles.

Something similar in the final would be useful.

Dont want Bill Crombie and would take Howard Webb. Thats all.

Decent shout.

Thought Collum had a decent game in the semi-final, didn't throw about cards right, left and centre like most do. Did think he stopped the game to many times though for silly things and sometimes didn't let the game flow but other than that he did well. Wouldn't mind him taking charge of the final. Best of a bad bunch i suppose.

[Hibercelona]

Someone who is very anonymous.

We don't want a ref who is going to stop the game for petty things every 10 seconds of the match, it doesn't suite us and Hearts players would just hack left right and centre to prevent us from playing.

A ref that knows how the advantage rule works would be preferable as well. No doubt we'll get through on goal at some point and it'll be pulled back for some "intent" challenge.

Pretty sure he is but only based on previous comments on here.

[LeithBoozy]

They should give it to, Patrick shauacy O'Neil or Mr Gordon of Tayport. He did a no bad job in the 0-7 match.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Willie Collum was very good in the semi. I'd like to see him do it, or, in the interests of total obectivity and fair play I'll dae it

Yep, Willie Collum for me. He had the guts not to give Celtic that pen in the last minute of the League Cup Final. Not sure if he's the best ref we've got but he's definitely unbiased. The Cup Final ref can't have any Hibs or Hearts connections even if it was 30+ years ago as a supporter - it's too important a game for that.

I'd be as worried about Murray or Thomson refereeing the game as the Jambos would be if Dougie McDonald was still around and was the ref.

[hibsbollah]

Must just be me, i think Collum's one of the worst refs we have.

Anyone willing to let the game flow and give us a 91st minute pen is OK with me.

[MM19]

Hope it's no Thomson or Brines we never seem to win when they ref our games

[Steven_Hibs]

If its Thomson then we can forget about winning the cup We've never won a derby that I can remember in which he was in charge

[Mikey_1875]

Hopefully not Brines and definetely not Murray as his yammish qualities have certainly shone through last couple of derbies he's had. Willie Collum would be fine but cant see it as he was reffin our semi and linesman in the other one. Thompson seems most likely.

[Lofarl]

Defo not Thomson. He refereed 2 games at Tynie where he gave them everything. Yogis team were kicked off the park by Hearts thugs and the same thing happened at the first Tynie derby this year too. If its Thomson we are Donald Ducked.

[AustinHibee]

If it's Thomson we're wasting our time turning up.

There could be a lot of empty seats on the 19th.

I hadn't heard about Craig Thomson being a Jambo, but if he is, he shouldn't be anywhere near Hampden on Cup Final Day.

One of the top refs from England would get my vote. At least there would be no suspicion of bias due to former team allegiances.

Sadly, not a chance of it happening though.

[smurf]

I think a bit of public pressure needs aired to pre empt any Thomson appointment. At the least his performance will be under more scrutiny. On the basis of today (for us and Killie) he's a very incompetent refereee and if he's supposedly the best we've got..

this was probably relevant with our team about 5 years ago but not now imo,dont think id mind a stop start scrappy game because they simply have better players, although hertz showed in the semi that doesn't mean they'll win

I thought there was no chance of it being Craig Thomson as he was reffing the last Old Firm game.

Now he has called off for that one is he back in the mix.

I would'nt be happy with Thomson as 4th Official.
