The refereeing today

[theblueoysterbar 19,694]

VAR will likely result in Collum, Beaton or Clancy being the referee and Collum, Beaton or Clancy being the VAR referee.

Honestly the fucking worst performance I have ever seen. I’m not one for ever making these threads but that was so bad it would be career ending in any other country but this one.

Utterly shambolic decisions constantly. My celebration for Jacks goal was just a massive release of me shouting abuse

Just incompetent. Both teams suffered equally. No?

I mean, if Collum had it in for us then that's leading towards conspiracy stuff 😂.

And imo it was nowhere near as bad as Beaton v Hivs or Clancy in our 2-1 win at the paedodome.

As with D Utd away, we should have had a penalty and an opponent red carded for fouling without making a genuine effort for the ball.

How often do game changing decisions have to go pretty much consistently against us for it to be established as more than simple incompetence?

Agree with a lot of that but I also think with VAR we get a penalty for the shirt pull on Aribo and don't have to play the extra time. 

Yes, the “game changing” decisions get reviewed etc but those constant 90/10 challenges that should go in our favour still don’t. For example, the challenge on Bassey doesn’t get checked by VAR and neither does the “offside” that the Hearts player brings then brings 20 yards forward to launch into the box. All small incidents that can still influence games. It’s those decisions that usually cost us. The constant fouling on our players to break up the game but if you put your pinky on an opponent shoulder he gets the foul because he’s been shot by a fan in the stand

We’ll hopefully get the “game changing” decisions but see my post above. It’s the wee niggly ones that also influence games that are the biggest issue, in my opinion

I'm hopeful we just get justice for the offsides and penalties. Tbh I'm not expecting the subjective ones to go in our favour any more than they do currently.

Wright " Whit you aw smiles for "

Collum " A was trying not to make it to obvious but WE got there in the end "

[soulboy 2,518]

Even Gio saw the pull on Aribo from the touchline and was going absolute tonto no wonder absolute shocking not to give it. Yet on bbc hardly anyone mentioned it  all just praising the save.

I would have thought the same but it seems it was actually the correct decision.

If an offside offence occurs, the referee awards an indirect free kick where the offence occurred, including if it is in the player’s own half of the field of play.

That doesn't make sense, you can't be offside in your own half so the offence can only be in the opponents half.

I read it as you're only flagged offside once you interfere with play, so touching the ball.

the sooner we get VAR the better.

Problem will be the spastics they install to manage VAR

How you can have decisions like that in ‘professional’ football is an absolute disgrace, you wouldn’t see that level of incompetence at Sunday league.

The club need to make official complaints after performances like that. Not saying we should accuse him of cheating, but there’s plenty of evidence that the refereeing was way below the standard expected at professional level, let alone a national cup final. 

Until we kick up a proper fuss and go on the attack, things will never change.

And after you win is the perfect time to do it, because otherwise it's just written off as being sore losers.

Offside rules:

There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:

a goal kick

a throw-in

a corner kick

Offences and sanctions

If an offside offence occurs, the referee awards an indirect free kick where the offence occurred, including if it is in the player’s own half of the field of play.

 

Hate Collum being right but it seems that he was 🙄

[MacBoyd 5,492]

The one bassey skinned the guy on the touchline and got fouled was genuinely mental. I was still applauding it about 10 seconds later before realising it wasn't a free kick.

[beararse 6,386]

If, and it’s a big if, these clowns can actually carry out VAR checks correctly then games are going to last about 15mins longer given the incompetency of our refs and the number of clear and obvious mistakes they make in a single match..

Tbf the Haring challenge on Bassey and the penalty not awarded are the only two I can think of that they'd review and intervene.

All the other 'incompetence' would run as normal.

Player runs from offside in opponents half and make first contact in his own half. 

[sassaaaa 11,406]

Collum does what he does every time he refs any big games with us , he is exactly like Clancy and Beaton , corrupt cheats.

Maybe I’m being thick but is the free kick not given from where the player is when the ball is played, rather than where he ends up making contact with the ball? I guess looking at the rules it can’t be, but it’s certainly something I’ve never noticed before!

That's what I'd thought too but it must all have changed when the rules allowed players to be in offside position as long as didn't touch the ball.

[SIRB_72 4,002]

I actually don't think most of the Scottish referees are "cheats". I just think they are highly incompetent including Collum, the guy gives horrible decisions for fun. Last weeks play off with Inverness and Arbroath is a good example.

Clancy is a rotten cheating bastard to the very core.

[dummiesoot 16,011]

Games like Aberdeen away this season where Brown spent the whole game blocking and fouling to break any momentum we had then Kent getting sent off would not be affected by VAR as these types don't get reviewed, would be business as usual for these cunts.
