daytripping Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I've just watched Willie Collum give the huns a penalty for nothing, send a St Johnstone player off for a challenge that didn't come close to a yellow and keep jack on the park after a brutal potential leg breaker. Financial gulf aside what chance do other teams have when blatant cheating is happening before their eyes. I'm surprised anyone actually bothers paying to watch it anymore, var has somehow made it worse. I'm a season ticket holder but close to calling it a day, it's not fun anymore, game is fucked, it's meant to be a sport. 3 Link to comment

Refs have openly admitted to cheating in the past... zero repercussions. And the other clubs just shrug and do fuck all to remedy it. Link to comment
perthshirered Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Ironically, it was Goldson who was involved with the penalty, that cunt has been getting away with handling the ball nearly every week. The Jack tackle was an awful challenge, at speed. The fact he reviewed it and still sees it as a yellow after sending Clark off, harshly, without bothering to review, is more concerning. It's downright cheating. 1 Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I wonder if his previous 12 month Rangers match referee ban affected his review whilst at the screen. Link to comment

McCurry was the organiser of Orangefest in George square a couple years back, Rowbottom makes a load on the after dinner circuit speaking about letting gascoigne off with sending off offences against us. Does England have issues with corrupt refs or are we alone? It really needs to come to a head, we can't go on having glasgow based refs in charge of the bigots. Link to comment

Said before, the clubs should demand non-Scottish referees and pay for them themselves. And Aberdeen, and the other clubs, should just say they're not allowing cunts like Collum to officiate their games because we have no faith in them. But, as we've often pointed out, clubs like Aberdeen aren't interested in speaking up. They'd rather bend over and take it. 3 Link to comment
Broken_Glass Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 It is beyond a joke. Managers need to stand up now and call it out. Question the impartiality and professionalism of the referees. Any subsequent fines - refuse to pay and take it to court. We've been at the end of it for years and the ST J game today was an absolute embarrassment to referees the world over. Corrupt to the core.

englishred Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Down here the only real dubious decisions are or have been mainly at Old Trafford (i said mostly) . However the thing is down here we are far more impartial in terms of Sky BBC ect From when i first started watching and supporting Aberdeen and scottish football 20 years i couldn't believe and still can't the poor standard of refereeing and unbelievable bias on and off the pitch. You only have to watch Sky sports and every game practically is one of those two , no wonder the game can't grow. then the pundits are so bias its laughable. At some point a manager needs to calmly speak to the referee at Parkhead or Ibrox and say i am calling my players off until there's an impartial refereeing team. In any other league or in the europa or champions league Ryan Jacks yellow card would have diffidently be up graded 1 Link to comment
