downviewbear 136 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Watching some of the tackles the ref let the airdrie players get away with last night got me thinking about how often this has happened over the past two seasons.I know some of them are incompetent and shoudnt be near a pitch but i think some of them look at it and think ;Dont wanna be booking to many of the wee par timers in case i have to send one of them off and it gives the big bad full time rangers even more of an advantage.;just wondering any body else thought the same.

damienios 4 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 We deserved a 3rd penalty but ref never gave it for obvious reasons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkiebear 1,013 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hmm I`ve thought this myself to be honest. Wouldn`t surprise me if thats what does go through the referees head. Just think its unfair when our players do the same then they aren`t slow in flashing a card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk and disorderly. 14,418 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Most of the refs are in these divisions for a reason; they are not outstanding officials.It's a huge step up working in small stadia with a few hundred supporters to turning up at ibrox in front of 40,000 passionate Bears questioning your every decision.Very few of them have managed to make the transition successfully imo. Hardly surprisingly. Still hugely frustrating for us supporters mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
left winger 14,140 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Maybe the refs are just as bad as the players in the division? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copland bear 7,966 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 No different from the spfl, very poor standard all round. The decline started when Uefa reduced the age a referee could ref a game. This caused to many who were average at best to retire.Would not wish the job on anyone, today's football there is 22 cheats on the park.

Corky True Legend 2,682 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Copland bear. It is the SPFL referees we are talking about. Just the ones in the lower divisions. My personal opinion is that the are overcompensating against accusations of being "pro-Rangers" rather than them being "anti-Rangers". And yes, it is their level of competence which consigns them to the lower divisions.Rangers, my team not my project. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 71,870 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Referees in Scotland are generally shite, it's not just the lower divisions.People saying they are anti Rangers though are Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
