Albertz85 941 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 3 hours ago, NixonRFC said: In a 2 team country it's impossible to expect anyone to be 100% unbiased, it's just the way it goes, we should have foreign refs for Old Firm games, that might put guys off from becoming officials if they know there's zero chance of officiating the biggest game but it is what it is. I don't even blame folk for being biased, Scotland is just far too parochial, even guys who support other teams, they'll have a hatred for their rivals and one of us or them, an Aberdeen/Hibs/Dundee Utd fan will have an unconscious bias against us and the same goes for a Hearts/Kilmarnock/Airdrie fan, they'll have an unconcious bias against them. The only way to take that element out of it is by giving the job to foreign refs. Not so sure these days. I get the impression everyone outwith our own fanbase hates us the most Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
16BlueSherbert90 19,224 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 We just need rid of the ones we have to put up with right now and replace them with genuinely fair minded referees...mainly Gollum. I know some can run away with themselves at times, however this particular one shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a Glasgow Derby or any game of ours. Far too often that one is extremely bias against us and it rubs off on other officials imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stunels 1,248 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Denied a clear pen at the paedo dome and conceded a completely non-pen because the ref was asked to have a look today. The narrative of rangers getting special treatment is a total psy op and its genuinely impacting Rangers' results. Willie Gollum should be thrown out on his arse and the rest should be sent to ref lower leagues. Scottish football has a shite product and it all starts with officials. Noone respects the rules, noone plays fair and everyone wants the taigs to win the league. elliotblu, JograBear and 16BlueSherbert90 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkster 4,897 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Will never ever happen unless the scum instigate another strike, It all boils down to the Football Authorities insistence that the people who they pick to referee the game are ALL fine upstanding specimens of absolute fairness Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could well be bigger than that . Bears and googglebot 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either media campaigns putting officials under pressure or their support intimidating officials. Definitely some but like collum who are bias.

VAR has been as big a mess in England and the standard of refereeing is only marginally better. I'm not impressed by European referees in our games there either. I would rather referees had to declare which team they supported or had supported in the past. They all support Airdrie mate. Violent football hooligans to the man.

B1872 20,752 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I thought the answer would be full time referees. However after seeing the amount of officials in this country who are rabid tarriers I think the only future we have is to have foreign refereeing for all games involving us or the scum. Tarriers have shown time and again they can’t be professional and their hatred always shines through. It’s becoming more and more blatant that they are treated to a different standard than us.

We'd never be able to compete with full time salaries down south to convince them to come up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do part-time hours. They attempt to chase professional athletes around after a week's shift in their first job. They aren't physically fit enough to carry out their role. Blowing out of their arses and trying to make split second decisions. Plainly isn't working. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
