jamboinglasgow Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I think it can be helpful to referees if they happy to, to explain their decisions. It helps fans and pundits see the thinking and give refs a chance to defend themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts_crazy Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Reading between the lines he knows he's a complete and utter incompetent and there are bound to be several decisions that only a complete fuktard would make. He is therefore saying he will explain them, but only after he has had a chance to make something up that's plausible. I've got a better idea Willie, just do everyone a favour, quit without further delay and let someone in who knows WTF they're doing. There are a few refs in the Championship who could step up IMO. On a side note, would you EVER tire of punching that face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy T Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 "Well there was a chance Celtic were going to loose so I thought giving the two penalties either side of half time was the correct decision, the sending off was just because I'm a spiteful little shitehawk" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riccarton3 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 The man makes assumptions about what football fans think as easily as his assumptions that it must be a penalty to Celtic. Consistent. There's an arrogance there as if we don't understand the load Collum carries. It really is an uncomfortable listen for those who have witnessed his dire performances.

Victorian Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 It says it all that he wants a period of time to elapse before being given the chance to issue an 'explanation'. As ever with Scottish Football, it isn't tangible accountability that's important.. it's the impression of it. Regarding this particular referee. When he first came on the scene, we were told he was the next big thing. Destined for the top. He was of course... but not based on his ability. For whatever insane reason, this guy was elevated to high status without first proving his worth. Something he has since gone on to completely disprove. Again, very Scottish Football.

I probably agree with all your comments. I think the ICT / Celtic cup final was probably a case in point. Gave it a few days to come up with a plausible excuse, were challenged and got themselves in to all sorts of a pickle. Unfortunately the SFA work on a hide /damage limitation / barely truthful approach to the referees conduct and performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambo Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Referees should be made to write and submit their match report before they shower. That way they can't be influenced by tv/media when putting together their report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny1874 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Id like to hear an explanation for why Willie Collum continues to be appointed to refereeing most of the high profile matches (Hearts vs Celtic matches in particular) despite being utterly atrocious.
