Ref for the semi final

Craig Thomson refereeing an Old Firm game? Civil wars have broken out over less than that.

Don't know about anyone else but I think John Beaton is one of the worst refs in Scotland. Tried to take centre stage in the Derby replay by sending Augustyn and JC35 off, and didn't give a stonewall penalty for us at Falkirk in January.

Both refs are terrible and shouldn't be anywhere near the semi finals.
Wouldn't want to ref the old firm game myself - probably more hassle than it's worth !!Last edited by GreenCastle; 05-04-2016 at 11:08 PM.

At least if we do make the final, we won't have either of these two Reffing it

Hopefully he'll manage to stay out of the way of the ball this time. His positioning in the falkirk semi last year was horrific. He's a rubbish ref.

On the bright side, it should mean Thomson won't get the final

FFS, I knew the answer as soon as I saw the title of the thread. That's us a goal down already.
On the bright side we won't have to endure Hibs losing another cup final.

Beaton/the authorities have a real dilemma this year. With a good chance both teams could be involved in the play off final, who will theu bump this year?
It was an easy choice to do us over last year, but not so straightforward this year.

He was the ref when we pumped Hearts aye? At least he knows what offside is.
Just remembered the semi last year. He done an amazing job on Fyvie. :(

cummings second yellow was deserved I thought (sheer stupidity to kick out at the ball after it was out of play, when a hearts player had just been sent off for a ball throwing show of dissent)
much rather have Beaton than Craig Thomson whose retirement can't come quickly enough for me

He is head and shoulders above the two clowns we've had against St Mirren and Livvy.

Then again, maybe they would.

I'd rather they didn't bother.
It's a f*****g embarrassment that whilst the world gets on with utilising reliable technology we in Scotland - for a national cup semi-final - get a couple of clowns with flags.
Goal line officials are the most utterly useless solution ever dreamt up. You have to be fair to referees, linesman and goal-line officials - these decisions can be almost impossible to make at times. This just heaps pressure on them when in truth they're no more likely to get it right than the ref and linesman would anyway imo.
