HMFC01 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) 39 minutes ago, GinRummy said: Is Robbie back for this one? Yes. “Part of the reason I got a second yellow was because I just tried to speak to the referee. Most referees you are allowed to speak to but he just tells you to get out of his face. “If you don’t get out of his face then he will yellow-card you. I’m disappointed as I just wanted to speak to him.”. Robbie Neilson, regarding Beaton. A hearing was held on Thursday February 18 with the outcome of an immediate two-match ban, and two matches suspended until December 31 2021. This means that, should he breach the rules again between now and the end of the calendar year, he will incur a further two-match suspension. Neilson will now be absent from the dugout for Saturday’s Scottish Championship match at home to Morton, as well as next weekend's trip to Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

If you look at this in detail, it's been "new" refs that have been the best. Collum apart, surprisingly, Beaton, Robertson and other established refs have been worse and, by and large, awarded more fouls against us than the newcomers.

Ex member of the SaS Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 When I saw the title I thought Christ hope it's not Don Robertson. Only to find it is! How the hell do we seem to get these roasters more than the others? A conspiracy theory would suggest the GFA are trying to keep us down for another season or more. Is it because we are the " Premiership" club we always get the Premiership refs? Can't think of any other Championship game that has had a top flight ref in charge.

Voice of reason Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 That’s disappointing. Dundee will just now throw balls into our box for people to grapple with our defenders and fall down. The penalty he gave to Dundee at Dens was a joke. He gave every decision to Dundee that night. It’s so depressing that he’s the ref again. Sigh! 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fxxx the SPFL Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Was it not him that disallowed a perfectly good goal by Berra at New Methil when we played Raith in the league cup recently i was in line with that and Berra never touched the guy perfectly good header disallowed tosser.

Indeed. Penalised Berra for the penalty at the Dundee game for nothing as well. Berra wasn’t even looking at the player who ran into him. Maybe he just hates Berra!

They used to do that with Brines. It’s hardly deflection. If you dismiss the fact that we’ve been shite, you could make a ‘bias’ case for just about any referee we’ve had regularly in the last 2-3 years. Brines was ‘doing’ us when we had a decent team with a decent record that’s why he stands out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was him. One of the most one-sided refereeing performances I can remember. Bad refs are usually equally poor for both teams. It felt like he had an agenda.

I can probably count on one hand the number of games we have undeservedly lost in the last 5 years that were solely down to a dodgy refereeing performance but hey, you carry on believing we’re being vicTIMised. I prefer to look at the REAL issue.

No other reason or excuse. That’s simply not true though. If Don Robertson sends the Dundee player off after 2 minutes we win the game. Even after that, if he doesn’t award them a ridiculous penalty with 7 minutes to go when we are pushing for an equaliser then it might finish 2-2. The ref had an obvious influence on the result that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have a point though about the red card and pen but we certainly didn't help ourselves with that first half showing. There has been a lot of excuses about defeats though when in reality it has been our own performances that have failed us.

No matter how badly a team plays the officials can still have a huge result. Robertson was the ref in the cup final the other day ( Livi V St J ) and he clearly ignored fouls against Livi that influenced the game. Playing well or playing badly doesn't distract from a cheating official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s sometimes not the big decisions that alter games, it’s a number of bad decisions on the more minor things that can fundamentally alter the way games go. Robertson is a past master at dreadful decision making in our games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
