I realise that refs are also human beings but do they subconsciously think that the rules should be different in certain games and applied differently to certain players. Charlie as he was referred to on many occasions during the ppv commentary ( Hibs tv ) was guilty of 2 bookable fouls in any other fixture but was shown clemency by Collum. Do refs feel sorry for the underdogs and feel the need to apply handicap decisions in order to make the game more even and are the big names playing to a different set of rules ( see also Harry Kane, at times ).

Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

Adam got away with murder, presumably just because of his profile.

I don’t normally lambast referees as much as some, and I’ll admit to not having watched the game today.
One of my pet hates though are referees controlling (or failing to control) games with inappropriate use of the yellow card.
You hear pundits talk about referees being sensible and keeping their cards in their pocket. Nonsense - if it’s a booking it is a booking whether it is the first minute or the last.
Particularly in Scotland certain clubs have been allowed to prosper whilst playing a prehistoric style of football, knowing that rarely refs will show the cojones required to clamp down appropriately.
It’s just a small one of many reasons why we sometimes end up being found wanting in Europe, where refs are less likely to tolerate.

Does the poor standard of refereeing add to one of the reasons our game is not advancing like it should be, some teams try to play fitba but are kicked about the park as teams know they wont be punished. stifling creative players.

Adam had a tackle yesterday that was knee high and he was studs up, Gollum was yards away and gave a free kick. If you’re standing that close to such an obvious yellow card and don’t give it you shouldn’t be a ref.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I didn't watch the game yesterday but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Charlie Adams was being shown the same kind of levity. I don't think it's very fair or right, but as you say, refs are human and this is probably their human failings shining through more than anything else.

I feel that referees in Scotland rely far too much on what "feels like a foul" rather than actually being up to speed with play and calling things for what they really are.
They look at a situation and think to themselves, hmm probably 7 times out of 10 that is a foul, so I will give it as a foul 100% of the time.
Also the whole penalty to "even things up" happens far too often up here, I honestly think that the poor standard of foul happy (but not card happy) referees play a massive part in holding the game back up here.

Any other country the referee would be taken off duty for a while after a performance like Collum turned in at Hampden a few weeks back. He was an absolute disgrace that day and got 3 massive decisons wrong. The guy isnt good enough to be a ref in the top flight. Although i do think hes one of the few who isnt a cheat, hes just massively inept.

I regularly slate Clancy on this blog
However on this occasion I will comment that his performance against St Johnstone was his least worst performance for us in a while .
However before I get too carried away I have not forgotten the many bad performances that he has had in our games

What makes the referees decisions at this time worse, is the fact there are no fans baying for blood!!
You expect bad decisions at Ibrox and Parkhead, huge home fans wanting every decision and mostly getting them.
Never seems to work when Easter Road is packed to the rafters tho'???

The players make hunners of outragous mistakes despite training every day so not surprised that referees struggle to get all the decisions right e.g. I have noticed Ryan Porteous have a fresh air or near fresh air hit in almost all of his recent matches. How is this possible for an U21 International player?

VAR would be the only way of improving things and Scottish Football has neither the money nor the stomach for it in it's present form.
P.S. Ryan still rightly in the Hibs team despite his fresh air & near fresh air hits.Last edited by CMurdoch; 29-11-2020 at 11:17 PM.

Go on any fan sites in Scotland and you will find a thread that this or that referee is ***** and has it in for their team. It's pretty much all rubbish.
As per the players referee mistakes are generally just down to human error and sometimes inexplicably so.
The best you can hope for is that they don't make a mistake which affects the result.Last edited by CMurdoch; 29-11-2020 at 11:18 PM.
