Even by our shocking standards our refs excelled themselves this week. Here's some highlights!
1. Watching Liverpool game and ball bounces off one defender on to another defender's arm. Commentator laughs, they're never getting a pen for that. Well they do if Alan Muir's the ref!!
2. Penrose of Livi absolutely wipes out St J player. Much, much worse than Porto's tackle at Ibrox, yellow card.
3. St J defender slips and deliberately arms ball away in box and right in front of Clancy, play on!! A stonewaller!
4. Charlie Adam pushes Lewis Ferguson twice in face. Brother Beaton gives Dundee a free kick from which they score. TBF Ferguson committed the 1st foul but I doubt Beaton noticed that either! I loved Adam's comments about Ferguson play acting and needing to man up!
5. Our penalty claim and Mueller booking. Does anyone seriously think that would have happened to either of the uglies? No, the geniuses on Sportscene would be nodding profoundly and saying, well there's contact in the box so it has to be a penalty!
6. OF game today. McCoist and Walker applauding Collum for not getting the book out. That's great, but we would have had about 3 bookings by then. Why should those 2 teams be refereed differently from every other team?
Scottish football has many problems but I think the standard and bias of our officiating is an open sore!
