K.A.I 36,183 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I've said this before re Thomson - in Scotland we have a lot of bad refs. Some really, really bad ones - but he's the only ref I've seen in about 30 years of watching football that I actually think is a cheat. I've no idea what goes on in his head. I've never complained about bad referee's as it's taigy but he's an exception. Guys a cheat (and a poor ref) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think advantage is lost if the move breaks down seconds later, it should have been called back for a pen. It was as clear a stone wall penalty as i've ever seen and i can't believe that picture above of the ref looking directly at it. For me, it proves blatant cheating. He seen it and chose to ignore it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 There was that blatant penalty and he also gave a foul against Halliday for winning the ball, even Andy Walker said he was astonished he gave a foul as even the Motherwell players weren't asking. It was as clean a tackle you'll see, wasn't from behind or anything, didn't even touch the guy, ref was in a great position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Cmon lads - "the ref is a cheat" leave the paranoia to you know who. He's neither a cheat or "one of us" he's a ref whose best years are behind him. Like Keirnan, Tav, Halliday or any other player for that matter on this God given earth, he has bad days or very bad moments. He made a couple of glaring errors yesterday but they were not  premeditated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger4life_1872 29,309 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 He's a cunt , stone wall penalty , not booking their left back for dragging Hodson back by the head in first half was a shite decision too Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunt has given so many big decisions against us over the years it can't just be incompetence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 25,461 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 don't think he's a cheat just really bad walker on sterling was another shocker yesterday unless British refs start pulling play back and awarding pens the UK is gonna develop a even bigger problem with cheating to win pens Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianferguson 2,619 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Thompson is not a cheat and neither is he past it , he's pure and simply incompetent and always has been. I've mentioned in the past how well he controls games and seems to have the respect of the players but sadly gets big decisions wrong on a REGULAR basis. The standard of refereeing in Scotland is pathetic and Thompson's  status as one of our top refs proves it. I was in the Govan and CLEARLY  saw MOH's STONEWALL penalty and was thinking he'll point to the spot if Hodson doesn't score but to my amazement he played on, I shouldn't have been amazed.

Also think it was around 2009 or 10 when he actually came out and apologised to Sellick for not awarding them a penalty at Ibrox when Maloney went down in the box. Same ref who awarded a penalty in 2011 LC Final to us then changed his decision and booked Nicka Jelavic for diving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
