After watching most of the Scottish representatives' games in Europe, and a couple of other matches, I believe some of us may have to recalibrate our views on the competency of home-bred refs/officials. Some of the decision-making by officials from Europe has been horrific and, if I were a Dons fan, I would be raging this morning.

Are referees from abroad more competent than those from Scotland?

No worse a performance last night compared to the brondby game at er imo. Refs in scotland are hung out to dry by their superiors, they get little back up or support.

There are good, decent, poor and absolutely crap referees in all countries. Mainly decent, I would say

I've definitely had to re-calibrate my views.
The one for our home game in Europe was as bad as I've seen, the away one was not much better.
I think we do have some decent refs in Scotland and I honestly think we've had some very good ones over the years. I do my best to stay neutral when it comes to appraising our refs and I think that sometimes on here refs get a hard time when they've actually been ok.
That's not to say that we haven't got some stinkers.
I also think there are variations in referees' performances - they have good games and bad games.

Good, fair, honest refereeing performances allowing it all to be about the players.

I've said a number of times on different threads that the fans in every country in the world think that their referees are the worst. Ours are no better or worse than any other country....
