Today's Referee

[Chorley Hibee]

That wasn't incompetence, or any other excuse, that we witnessed today - it was blatant cheating!

I really hope Hibs dump the diplomatic silence we adhere to, and start calling these frauds out for what they are.

I know it's bad when my wife (who doesn't know the first thing about football) actually started laughing at some of the decisions today.

[Hibbyradge]

Was there anything in particular he did to enrage you so?

I thought he was ok, fwiw. He possibly could have given a couple more fouls for McNulty, but cheating? Nah.

[hibIBZ]

I thought he was the worst person on the pitch today. The penalty was a shocker imo, he was desperate to give it. The way their players hold and make contact before throwing themselves to the ground was a disgrace and he allowed them to do it. 4 times fouls went on their favour where an Aberdeen player made contact and held first for them to then haul the Hibs player down after and the free kick went their way. Shocking performance

[staunchhibby]

What chance have we got when a linesman could not even get a shy for hibs correct.

[JimBHibees]

Thought he was awful what was the booking count 5 for Hibs. Ferguson constantly fouled Stephane allgame and no fouls given then omeonga booked. Milligan gets booked for next to nothing, Ball gets the point round warning no yellow then clears out Omeonga. Both cod grove and left winger blatant dives ignored and as for the penalty. Dear oh dear.

I thought he gave most of the wrestling contests to Aberdeen. Didn't you?

[lord bunberry]

I was in the south today and was right behind the penalty decision. It’s the first penalty I’ve seen given for a long time where the player didn’t go down after the challenge and that little prick doesn’t normally need an excuse to go down.

Yes, I did.

Certainly when we were attacking.

[jakedance]

We’ve played them ten times (I think) in the last two years and every game has been refereed the same. It’s time we wised up about how to play teams like Aberdeen.

I'm pretty sure he did go down.

[hibee_girl]

How he can give Aberdeen a free kick when their player practically strangled Omeonga I’ll never know.

[hibbie02]

He was shocking! Even my daughter, going to her first match commented on how biased he was. She also specifically called out Shinnie for the cheat that he is.

It was clearly Sheep tactic to clatter into a Hibs player and then go down like they were shot. The ref fell for it every time. He got the bookings right as they were obvious.

Never seen so many hulking players fall over so often.

Not dismissing your opinion, but honestly can't fathom how you thought his performance was okay.

There was at least half a dozen occasions today that it was clear to all and sundry that a foul had been committed against Hibs, only for him to award it the other way.

Don't even get me started on his reluctance to book one of them or their penalty either.

Second week on the trot we've been done over by the referee.

My thoughts too. All Omeonga was trying to do was breathe! It pretty hard to commit a foul when someone is pulling you backwards by the neck.

Eventually he did. The ref stood there looking at him and waited until he fell down before he pointed to the spot. It wasn’t a penalty for me, he only went down when he realised he wasn’t getting to the ball.

Omeonga and McNulty fouls against for holding back and wrestling McKenna to the ground really, McKenna, Considine and Ferguson's lol leading with forearms to the back of the head and neck when going for challenges. Cosgrove 4 fouls in first half then at least the same the second ..Ferguson dive and rollabout to get Omeonga booked ...Omeonnga and McNulty both pulled back when spinning off their defender to go for a through ball, no foul ! And Shinnie at his usually throwing himself on the ground in every challenge ..the reality is that they do it so often that the law of averages is that they get a high percentage of freekicks for their efforts ...it probably goes without saying that today refs performance ranks amongst one of the most biased I have seen this season ...he was either Willie miller or Richard Gordon's nephew ..😀

I watched it on Hibs TV. Maybe I got the wrong impression, but Cliff and Keith weren't saying much about the decision making.

It's on Alba now if you want another look.

Don't think the wife could put up with my shouting and swearing yet again! 😂

That's the first half finished and I've seen 1 foul for Aberdeen that I think should have been given and 1, arguably 2, for Hibs.

I'm not going to watch anymore either. I know what happens.

[cabbageandribs1875]

East Stand linesman was somewhere else i think

[Hiber-nation]

He was absolutely stinking. Had this incredible knack of missing any initial fouls on Hibs players only to give the sheep a free kick for the Hibs player trying to wrestle them off.

[we are hibs]

Is it just be or have refereeing performances been worse since we got promoted? Last season I couldn't remember so many farcical calls and weak refereeing and it's continued this season. Zero consistency.

[matty_f]

He was rank. Infuriatingly bad.

[GreenCastle]

Scottish Refs are awful - it's nothing new.

Just add to the list of things wrong with the game here.

National Team rubbish.
Hampden rubbish.
Old Firm bias / tv money / league structure needs sorted
SFA should be disbanded - no one trusts them
Sectarian singing ignored
Compliance officer inconsistencies.

They constantly fouled Hibs players yet won free kicks for it.

There were two blatant dives that went unpunished.

[Joe Baker2]

agree. That's the worst referee performance I've seen in a while. McNulty was constantly fouled right in front of him. Aberdeen are the worst divers in the league and this idiot fell for it time and again. Shameful.

[lyonhibs]

I was there with a St Mirren fan who was equally dumbfounded with what was going on. Some of the grappling and shoving they got away with was bordering on the farcical.

It was as if he had never seen a football match before never mind ran the line at one before.

Omeonga was pulled back in the first half, he would have been clean through and it would have been a red card. I don't know how the ref never seen it.
