BelgeJambo Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Not going to defend our hapless referees in this country but I am also wondering, how ****ing bad are the linesmen? offside against Rangers penalty vs St Johnstone and today the main stand linesman must of been playing with blinkers They could be helping more and maybe deserve more scrutiny last thing - did anyone listen to that clown Stuart Dougal on BT sport last night. He just summed up the officialdom mindset in 10 minutes Edited December 8, 2018 by BelgeJambo Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambof3tornado Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 They do nothing unless the ref tells them or if he needs to blame one for a decision he isnt sure about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Wheatfield side linesman was good first half. Might have got us out of jail as well flagging for foul on the disallowed Motherwell goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlamal also stopped playing so I'm not sure we got let off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanseskillson Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I’ve noticed for a couple of years now the hesitation in linesman when it’s a throw in etc they don’t have a single clue which way to give so they wait on the ref to see which way he will point it’s ****ing embarrassing. And to add to it when a free kick is given are they not meant to stand in line to make sure it’s taken from the correct place? Today the linesman stood in line but Michael Smith went to take it 10 yds ahead and the ****ing linesman moved up into line with the player lol sometimes the ref bothers other times they don’t so it just shows how much of a half ****ing job they all do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterboy11 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Sure I read somewhere that some refs tell their linesman, I’m in charge I make the decisions, so hence the hesitation sticking up their flag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEDNAR BOY Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 The facts are that they are in constant verbal communication during the match, so if they don’t stick their flag up it doesn’t mean they are not contributing or making decisions / assisting the referee . it just results in the fans not being aware of their involvement and assuming they are not getting involved, similar to guys behind the goals in European Competition.

Spellczech Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Assistant refs are pointless. Technology could do their job.I'd like to see them both replaced with a second referee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume some of them have poor communication skills then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
