Some may know this already, but Craig Thomson and Steven McLean both work full time at the SFA and share an office with John Fleming, the Head of Referee Operations. It's a standing joke among referees that those two are pretty much bulletproof when it comes to referee observers and being supported on big decisions.

And someone I spoke to said....

Penalty to Hibs

No foul against Nelson because of the short distance involved. He couldn't get his hand out of the way.

Therefore no booking for Nelson


Thomson can do what he likes and answers to no-one.

And we've got both of them on Saturday. At least we know they won't make any mistakes that require action from John Fleming

I was hoping you were going to type Cypriot !

[givescotlandfreedom]

I'd rather it was Gary Locke than Thompson.

Why can't we get an ex-player to come out with some headline making quotes, such as "Thomson is either biased or incompetent". Get it published in all the papers and start putting pressure on Thomson, so that the press will watch his every decision.

If it were Hertz, Locke would have talking about how decisions keep going against his poor wee lambs. Yet we get nothing.

We have trumpets that can't wait to mention 1902 or 5-1, yet none make reference to Thomson's shocking decisions against Hibs.

Good idea - I nominate Kano.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

I make that 3 times in our last 5 league games?! Am I correct?? If so, why?? Why are we getting this idiot so often??

I think we all know that he is.

I am not sure what difference it would make even if Messi said so.

Maybe this is being approached the wrong way

You're right!!!! If you can, I would start betting on refs performances...

Every time Thompson refs a Hibs game I would stick cash on 4+ Hibs players being booked and for there to be a penalty against us for example, Cairney - I reckon he has always been booked while Thompson has been ref and how many times has his giving a pen against us... Stick some cash on it!!!!

I'm also gonna start betting on players being sent off against Herts.

If enough fans do it across Scotland... Patterns will start emerging, bookies will start losing cash, and because cash is involved the beaks maybe forced to stand up and take notice because of betting patterns!!!

That's the only way i can see there ever being an improvement in Scottish refs...

[NAE NOOKIE]

Ach well ............. this just makes getting 3 points in our next game more vital.

[Boyle89]

It seems like there's a Thomson is ref thread every week. Somebody put the stats up on the last one about how often he reffed us an it was unreal how far ahead of everyone else he was.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

We have lost it already. That wee cock must rub his scruffy wee hands when he finds out he is reffing our games.

No mistakes will be reported, see who the observer is - Willie Young!!

Does anyone know how referees are allocated to particular matches? What is the process? It seems odd that we seem to get Thomson so often. The thing with Thomson is this - the more Hibs fans criticise and complain about him (and rightly so) the more hostile he is getting towards us as a club. He has now got a vendetta against Hibs it seems to me, and **** all will ever be done about it. Why he hates our club so much, and where it comes from, I don't know.

Thinking of not going now it's a foregone conclusion Boyd will get dubious penalty

He's my kids PE teacher. Seems like a decent guy on few occasions I've met him. Wonder if Liam Craig will smack it off his napper again.

The surest bet of them all is that the beaks will do absolutely **** all to set things right.

[Leith Mo]

Thomson was also ref last Saturday when ICT pummeled them and were denied a clear penalty when Hamill played basketball in the six yard box - still, no surprise the cheatin' .... never saw it.
