Embarrassing Scotland

[southsider]

'Ref Craig Thompson embarrassed our whole nation with such an inept performane in the champions league last night we will be the laughing stock of Europe. He had three major calls to make, two offside decisions and a sending off for a Dortmund player and got each one wrong. This must be his last game and the SFA must show spme balls and demote him to the lower leagues forewith.

[Godsahibby]

Were the linesman not at fault for the offsides!

[CropleyWasGod]

Yeah, I overhead a couple of old guys at a pavement cafe in Paris this morning.

"Euh, you see le foot last night?"

"Ah oui.... c'est merde. Let's all laugh at Scotland."

[FastEddieFelson]

didn't see the sending off incident, but you can't really blame him for the offside decisions...

his decision a few months ago in the schalke twente game was much more embarrassing.

I'm that embarrassed, I'll never be able to show my face outside Scotland ever again.

Whenever I see a terrible performance by a foreign ref I just think, aw other countries must have useless officials too, then move on.

I think we might just get through this.

It's times like this when I worry.

Maybe it's a bad idea to ban Trident from Scotland. Maybe we should have our own deterrent, for tough times like this.

From the Guardian:

"Spanish newspapers were unanimous in their lament of Málaga's "Offside nightmare," as El Mundo had it and what was the saddest night in the club's history, according to El Pais.

Leading 2-1 going into stoppage-time, Málaga's hopes of reaching a Champions League semi-final were devastated by goals from Marco Reus and Felipe Santana, the latter, as the Spanish press were keen to stress, seemingly in an offside position. Hence, while compliments abounded for the Andalucian side's valiant defending, the defeat coloured widespread condemnation of Scottish referee, Craig Thomson. "


Don't know why the cheating cant is getting any sympathy on here?

I can't see any sympathy being shown here. However, I can see light-hearted ribbing of the OP's view that Scotland is the laughing-stock of Europe.

[LancsHibs]

Embarrassing Scotland! Surely thats the national teams job.

I consider that this OP embarrasses the whole of Hibs.net.

Nine mistakes in spelling and punctuation in a three-line post is unacceptable.

Time for the administrators to demote you to the lower forums forthwith.

Do you really think that people in the rest of Europe will be laughing at Scotland because Craig Thomson isn't a very good football referee?

According to Malagas players and coach he never saw the two red cards Dortmund should have had and the blatant offside last goal,they did everything to get the small team kicked out.
**** ref, the whole of Scotland could have told them that, every Hibs fan could tell them that but just like the SFA they refuse to act properly on incompetent refs,(oh no they dont they give them scottish Cup Finals mmmm) if that is the best of Scotlands ref and he is supposed to be one of Europes best, I really would not like to see Europes worst. Whit an embarrassment. And I would agree with the OP it is an embarrassment to Scotland. Diddy ref from a diddy league. No doubt he will be refereeing the SC final.

He has systematically cheated Hibs for years, culminating in the Cup Final last May.

Questions have been raised in the upper houses of Parliaments across the world. The tribute to Thatcher has been postponed. North Korea has altered the direction of its missiles.

Apparently, he's not just a cheat. Malaga President reckons there's racism involved.

I agree with him. Let's get CT locked up...

Btw no chance of him getting Scottish cup final. He has a semi final, but I've also heard big rumours within uefa(I know a certain person) that CT will be 4th official for the champions league final. And is that not the night before the Scottish cup final?

He is a joke of a referee

As someone pointed out earlier his decisions in schalke game was horrific. Was that the game where he sent off a defender, gave a penalty and the foul was AT LEAST 5 yards out the box?
