Did Davidson not disallow a Jim Black goal that night? So many bad decisions in those days its hard to remember some of them

[The 90+2]

Danny Handling sending off against them in the petrofact cup was scandalous. Freeland in that match against Falkirk really angered me.

[21.05.2016]

The Griffiths free-kick not given vs the **** was absolutely criminal. Not even close, was miles over the line and everyone in the stadium could see it. Worst part about it was that it was from a set play so the linesman is specifically set up in line to see offsides and in perfect position to see it crossing the line. Its not as if hibvs suddenly broke forward and the linesman was running behind the play.

Absolutely insane decision. Jambos yet again getting away with murder!

Not Easter road...

Very pedantic G.
Worst at Easter Road, letting Kujabi take a free kick

Just to be contrary. Best decision - Fulton booked for bring ugly 😂

Or on second thoughts, really bad decision. He deserved a red card for it.

My 2 already mentioned previously.

Freeland - worst overall whole match performance.
Morton League Cup - worst ever individual free kick decision that led to their winning goal.

However, slightly off topic but the most baffling, yet greatest refereeing decision came in the 94th minute on 21/5/2016. I’ve watched it many times and still think it was a free kick to Sevco.
But no. Mr McLean thought otherwise and to add insult to Sevco injury, booked Halliday as well. Enough time wasted in the confusion to take the free kick to wind up the game.
Simply magical. Cue exuberance!!

For me, it was Theo Snelders only getting a yellow card for what can only be described as assault. It was a last man tackle outside the box on, I

think Paul Kane in a league cup game that could only be described as Schumacher like(see youtube). He then went back into his goal and pulled

off a great save from the resultant free kick. Aberdeen then went on to win the match with a late winner in extra time.
Still takes my blood pressure up thinking about it now

I don’t think that compares to the decision not to penalise Stevenson for a two handed push on one of their players in the box right in front of the goal line assistant when they were 2-1 up (I think). It was a penalty every day of the week and if it had been given and scored it would most likely have been a completely different result.

in terms of worst decisions I’ve seen -
Alan Muir non handball decision in the play off v Falkirk
Alan Freeland red card for Thomson also v Falkirk
Paul Hanson being cut in half v the Rangers allowing them to score and win
Scott Allan’s tackle v the Rangers in the 5-5 game

There’s plenty others too but those are my picks. I’m still raging about the playoff non handball, that would have killed the game if we’d scored.

[Tom Hart RIP]

The Clive 'the book' Thomas free-kick against Willie Wilson when we played Leeds 1968.
Their keeper had ignored the new 4 step rule all night and nowt given.
Willie was obstructed trying to kick the ball out and took five steps and Thomas couldn't wait to give the foul from which big Jack Charlton scored with a header.
Thomas loved to be centre of attention and was on first name terms with the Leeds players as he refereed in England.
A few years later he reffed in the World Cup finals and blew for full-time just as a Brazil player headed the ball into the net for the winner.
Leeds went on to win the Fairs Cup but we were far better than them.

[h1bs4life]

Think it was Hugh Dallas's 1st game in charge of a lesser green game since he got coined at the Old Firm derby that gave the Huns another tainted title.
Stonewall penatly for Hibs at 0-0 which strangely Dallas never seen and the lesser greens went on to win the game

It was at 1-1, not long after half time. I’d be wanting it at the other end

I think it was given for high feet. I remember staying calm at the game knowing that it was our free kick but I seemed to be the only one around me that thought that

[Tynie01011973]

Cant remember who it was that was sent off , when pushed over by Kris Boyd,Sevco at ER,When Hibs player was winning race to clear ball?

Chris Hogg iirc. Finished 4 3 to Morton.

It was Chris Hogg who was flattened.

The worst decision I have ever seen.

I must admit to being quite chuffed that just for a change we got away with one.

Great call

In today's game it would be on every sports channel wondering how the hell it wasn't red

That was a shocker

[Deansy]

Any 70's game v the Hun with Bobby Davidson the referee - he absolutely hated us and made no effort to hide it !. Younger Hibees may think Craig Thomson is the 'Devil' but Davidson makes him look like a neutral !

Craig Thompson failing to send Ian Black off for his elbow to Leigh Griffith’s face in the first few minutes of the SC Final - just watched it for the first time on YouTube and it’s just as bad as I thought at the time.....

Oooft! How could I forget that one.

The ullie Laarson one was the pick. The guy was on the floor getting up and had the ball drilled at his “standing” arm. PENALTY!

And he got sent off. Outrageous decision.

My flat mate from uni came up from England that morning to come to the game. Was gutted at that result.

Following on from the best goal thread, I thought it'd be good to do something similar and came up with the worst decision ever witnessed at ER.

For me and I think the most obvious, John MacDonalds fall in the box to gain Rangers a penalty in the very early 80s (I think?). That decision angered me for a very long, long time!!

That still annoys me nearly 40 years later

This is possibly just my recollection of how this one happened, John O'Neil against Celtc, he picked the ball up at the halfway line, ran past a player into the box and got fouled for a penalty, Martin O'Neill ran up the touch line and basically lifted the linesmans flag up and John O'Neil was called offside for passing to himself, sure we lost 1-0

Was in the stand at this game and couldn't believe it as we were wildly celebrating a stone-Waller of a penalty- but then it was like O'Neill emerged out of the most with him raising the linesnan's flag ! Only in Scottish Football does the manager of one of the country's 2 big clubs, get away with actions like that - not only did the ref agree with O'Neill's 'decision' that night, to prove it he didn't even book him for man-handling an official!

Hughes was an absolute disgrace that day. Any competent referee would have sent him to stand and reported his conduct to the SFA.

Me too. That and the behaviour of their fans after the 79 cup final has left me with a deep seated, irrational hatred of the Hun. I was sat behind the goal that day probably no more than 25/30 metres away and it was a disgrace how the ref gave that decision.

Most of the press pretty meek over that incident too.
