DVB Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Weir Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 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.

lsimp77 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauldrick Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 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.

Glottis Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Brines when Hibs beat us at ER during 05/06 was definitely the worst single performance from a ref i'd ever seen.

Chalked off a Platini goal then gave the oppo a last gasp dodgy pen.

Erik Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 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.

1971fozzy Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 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.

jambosdad Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited January 16, 2019 by jambosdad Spelling, predictive txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
