Was the referee corrupt tonight or just incompetent?

***Hibbyradge*** · 08-03-2019 09:58 PM

He didn't send McGregor off for whacking his arm in Morelos's face.

He didn't give Morelos a penalty when he was shoved in the box by SDG.

And he didn't give a foul against Omeonga at the start of the move from which we scored.

There's a thread about the cheating stand side linesman so I wondered what the consensus was about the ref.

Incompetently corrupt?

**Criswell** · 08-03-2019 10:02 PM

Probably both!

***Jay*** · 08-03-2019 10:03 PM

Just rubbish

**Smartie** · 08-03-2019 10:05 PM

Incompetent.

He got a few big calls wrong.

All the wee ones seemed to go against us but all the big ones went for us.

***Irish_Steve*** · 08-03-2019 10:05 PM

wtf was he doing standing over the Hun player that was lying in front of the East Stand and then giving him a hand up - wonder if they exchanged one of those "funny" handshakes

**Skol** · 08-03-2019 10:07 PM

I thought he made a number of mistakes, most of which were against us, but some in our favour,

Incompetence yes, but not corrupt

**hibs69** · 08-03-2019 10:09 PM

At the game, I didn’t think the Omeonga incident was a foul. Watched it again, (a few times) still not a foul. Typical The Rangers player falling on his arse at the slightest brush of contact and that’s what McLean saw. Great refereeing.
But there were some strange decisions throughout the game, must admit.

It was a total foul!

Omeonga didn't even get close to the ball never mind win it.

I know, but when incidents go against us, there are loads of folk saying that referees are definitely corrupt.

That's really my point.

***BILLYHIBS*** · 08-03-2019 10:13 PM

Both

Is he not one of those self confessed Hun refs from that wee village somewhere in Lanarkshire that seems to breed them?

Looked to me as though he wanted The Rangers to win and he had Dazs card marked surprised he lasted so long on the pitch

**DJ HIBBY** · 08-03-2019 10:13 PM

He’s a Scottish Cup legend 😉

**hibs69** · 08-03-2019 10:14 PM

The player was always falling. That’s the point. Even the way Omeonga carried on with play with no hesitation suggests this as well. The player was looking for it all day long. Never a foul.

Great goal resulted at the end of the non foul incident.

Happy Birthday, Kamberi

They're (mostly) not corrupt, just 5hit.

**GreenCastle** · 08-03-2019 10:15 PM

Handball early on too.

Missed booking Halliday as he gave us advantage - which wasn’t an advantage.

File under - another incompetent Scottish Ref.

Weekly thread as they are all awful.

He more or less gave us our point!

Ha Ha?

Did not realise he was the ref that gave us the Holy Grail

Defo all for The Rangers tonight gave us nothing

Booked Daz for the Orc falling over

Tried his best to give The Rangers the points

Stevie G greetin on the Radio tonight about his performance (opinions eh?)

Did you go to the game or did you watch on the telly because lots going on off the ball?

I thought he had a shocker as well as the West Stand Lino

Just my opinion

***matty_f*** · 08-03-2019 10:25 PM

He was rank.

**we are hibs** · 08-03-2019 10:26 PM

He was an absolute disgrace. Can't believe anyone would defend that. Another amateur ref playing at being a professional one.

And I was agreeing

***greenlex*** · 08-03-2019 10:38 PM

His best bit was when he blew for a foul and was too busy arguing the toss with a player that he didn’t notice that Rangers didn’t take the free kick and Ncgregor just threw the ball out to a player. All the officials were puss poor tonight.

You're very nearly right.

***Galahibby*** · 08-03-2019 10:42 PM

I haven't seen it on TV, but was McNulty not offside for our goal?

It's tight but I'd say he was just onside

P1sh. Never a foul. Ref was spot on.

**Broken Gnome** · 08-03-2019 11:21 PM

Not getting a free kick for that pull back on McNulty in the second half...

It wasn't even close to being a foul. There's contact but the rangers player just slips/goes down far too easily.

McNulty was onside as well. I had a good view of it and thought at the time he was off, but watching the replay it's clear the linesman got it right.
