And the Referee for the derby come Weds evening

Is our familiar whistler of full time all of us have seen thousands of times - Steven McLean. Delighted with that news. Sorry if already posted.

Let Aberdeen away with murder against us. Hope he doesn't let that lot do the same.

In what respect?

He had a shocker at ER against Aberdeen earlier in the season. They shoed Hibs all over the park and he let them away with it. Stevie May should have been sent off for a brutal tackle on Boyle. Let them waste time as well from about the 37th minute on. Still one of the best refs out there but he had a serious off day that day

Thanks, sorry I wasn't there so I wasn't being wide was just interested. He's in general good so hopefully same goes for Weds.

He could Craig Thomson us on a future occasion and I'd still keep my shrine to the free-kick he gave us in the last minute when McGeouch tried to decapitate the Rangers player.

Surely it was the other way around, the rangers player got the free kick against him for high feet. At the time it was a strange one but I watch the game back all the time and it was the right shout.

Not going to get all Leeds United about any ref, they can all are a shocker on the day regardless of how well they’ve done in the past. Just hope for all of the game changing decisions to go in our favour.

We just need to get in about them and no give a **** who the referee is. **** the h*****s

***erin go bragh*** · 24-12-2017 06:59 PM

One of the better options imo . The standard of refs in Scotland is brutal.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all .

He is a complete and utter buffoon, I would sooner have a certain Mr Thompson.

Big game ref panic never fails to amuse me.

Can I suggest you watch reruns off 2012 and 2016 Scottish cup finals

that was always a free kick to us. the big decision he got right that day was to allow stokes's second. on another day that could have been given as a push on tavernier, but thankfully he let it go.

I don't think that I will ever bring myself to criticise Steven McLean.

We need a strong honest performance from McLean and his linesman and fourth official ! They will inflict every single antic in tonights game, lets hope that being live on SKY makes the officials do their jobs as they should do and not bottle making big decisions, also that McLean tells Berra to shut the f--- up and worry about his own game instead of trying referee the game for him !

There's also plenty refs that would've given a penalty for Stevensons push in the box.

I don't recall Mclean having a decent performance in a hibs game since that day to be fair tho. It's almost like he's been told he's on his last warning after that day

***Billy Whizz*** · 27-12-2017 10:52 AM

I thought Berra was the ref, certainly was as at the last game

Exactly every decision , same as mclean at Aberdeen, Brown at Celtic, was Kenny Miller at Sevco, ..cant understand why a ref would let players do it !!
