Worst ref you have seen


DVB

Recommended Posts

For me Ian Brines is the worst edging out Dougie MacDonald.

 

Todays mob Beaton, Collum, Dallas and Madden have a long way to go to reach the abysmal standards of these two.

Dallas was a *****. His offspring is unsurprisingly a thoroughly unpleasant ******* too 

 

Gerry Evans lost the place on a level I never witnessed before or since. I couldn't believe what was happening that day 

 

Andy Davis was simply a cheat. No more, no less

Bobby Madden. The worst refereeing performance I’ve ever seen was his when we played Hamilton at home last season. Absolutely diabolical. He really is a pathetic worm, as are 90% of the referees in this country. The sooner we bring in foreign refs the better.

Dallas was pretty standard Scottish ref.

 

Gerry Evans I don’t remember other than the four sent off game.

 

Andy Davis was a cheat but he was a linesman rather than a referee.

Are there any good refs in Scotland? if there are I bet that they are away down in the pecking order, reffing minor league matches and their only crime being that they were not born in or around Glasgow.

Brines when Hibs beat us at ER during 05/06 was definitely the worst single performance from a ref i'd ever seen.

 

Beaton and Madden seem to be consistently bad for each team.

The best ref I have seen in the lower ranks of Edinburgh football is a guy I Bailie. Talks to the players, not afraid to admit a mistake and explains his decisions.

Brines v Celtic at New Year from the same season when he sent off Fyssas would be mine.

I always think that the best refs are the ones that you don't notice, the ones that allow a game to flow and don't have the attitude, 'never mind these players, I know that it is me that you have paid your money to see',

Brines. MacDonald.

 

This plus in the 80's there was a ref called Ferguson who was dreadful for us.

Who remembers Kevin O’Donnell from back in the 80s? He was struck off after Mercer complained about him adding on about 5+ minutes of injury time at Parkhead during which the home team scored to make it 1-0.

Agreed, arrogant beyond belief and the sending off in the game against Celtic in 2006 summed him up.

IMD Foote for us oldies. Not once but twice and both times against Hibs.

 

Hated in France as well it seems. He reffed a Bulgaria-France WC Qualifier in the 70s and according to this he is well remembered, but not too fondly, though I imagine it's a tad biased. Chalked off a Platini goal then gave the oppo a last gasp dodgy pen. He must have made a mark if he gets his own wiki page in French!

New Year’s Day 2006. I’m not one for conspiracies but we were absolutely cheated that day. 

 

Hibby mcdonald in the final against Gretna was a shocking performance too. 

He was pretty poor in the 4-4 Graeme Weir derby too. Ridiculous that he got the game in the first place if he really is a  Hobby.

Dougie McDonald was really, really bad.. Only edged out of first place by Brines.. He was a cheat and took great pleasure in screwing us over..

I always thought Jim Duncan from Gorebridge was an arse but he refereed a game I played in for Hawick Royal Albert and he was superb the way he handled the game and the way he spoke to the players.

 

Beaton for me has taken shite refereeing to a whole new level.

We’ve always had to suffer piss poor referees. Collum, Beaton and Madden clearly carrying on tradition. The SFA have been and always will be a shambles.

Brines for his performance is the worst. He had a few excuses.

 

The current crop are paid an awful lot of money and have no excuse for the atrocious way they want to control the game. Beaton and Madden being the trend setters.

Brines for me.

 

The Fysass incident against Celtic is, by far, the simgle most angry moment I've ever had watching a football match. If ever there was a moment I was going to go all John Wilson at a game of football - it would have been that moment.

 

It was probably about then it became clear to me that it would never ever be a level playing field in this country. Corrupt to the very core.

 

Brines cheated that day to help Celtic. There are no two ways about that.

 

I also recall the way in which he was would fall over himself to book any Hearts player he could around that same era. I seem to recall a particularly ridiculous one for Skacel at Motherwell - I think Rudi took maybe one step off the pitch, under his own momentum whilst celebrating and the yellow car was on its way out before his studs had even made contact with the turf.

Spot on. Did he not need a police/steward escort off the pitch at full time that day? That really does say it all

Beaton and Madden are absolutely rank , bias , corrupt scrotums. Easily the worst I’ve seen in over 30 years. Dallas jr is nearly there too.

 

going back Davie Syme was utterly loathesome who hated us with a passion. A completed dick who thought he was god. Hated that dickhead.

Brines, Dallas sr, Andrew Waddell and MacDonald were all goats too. As is Collum 

 

notging compares to Madden and Beaton tho

There was a ref who worked as a security guard for the council, at Chesser House in the late 80s.  Can anyone remember his name?

For all todays bent oficials Kevin O'Donnell wins by a mile!! He was actually better known as FATHER Kevin O'Donnell. My recollection was we got beat 2-1, but Mercer got him demoted after complaining to the SFA - can you imagine that happening today??

Brines (ask billy veal his opinion!)  

 

Anyway, he is closely followed by  dougie macdonald, obviosuly andy davies in there too, however, all three of those cheated, not bad refereeing, just blatant cheating, not just against Hearts either *well, maybe davies*

Dougie Macdonald in the Kilmarnock away game where Levein fought his ban is still the worst performance I've ever witnessed.  

Levein, "I lost count of the mistakes when it reached 97."

 

Please me greatly when the cheat was finally caught out in that Dundee Utd match.

Another tick for the James Hunt Brigade of Brines and MacDonald. Brines during the 06 campaign was an absolute cheating b'st'rd against us, the Celtic game and Cup Final were his absolute stand outs.

Brines and Beaton have to be up there for corrupt decisions -Zal at Pittodrie and Hammill at Inverness spring to mind as well as the ones already mentioned in previous posts. But for just being a bad referee how about alan Freeland? Worst of it was, I was at a Brechin game a few years back after Freeland had retired and the referee assessor was a couple of rows in front of me.....you guessed it Alan Freeland

Didn't he always play an extra 5 mins over the injury time period, especially when we were beating one of the uglies?

I thought Vlad coming into the Scottish set up was seen as a real threat to football here.  The OF had been making noises about applying south of the border.  The ER game 2006, our first loss that season plus the New Year game compounded many people's thoughts that we would not be allowed to win the league.

Davis's decision could have caused a riot. Absolute shocker of a decision. The whole ground was stunned by it.

Was that not the game where a Hearts player sliced the ball in a miskick and it went back to our keeper. Keeper picked it up and ref blew for a pass back. Even the Celtic players were laughing.
