Match Officials

[Charlie-Brown]

Now that we have twice seen the fourth official bring red card decisions to the referee's attention and also twice seen linesman ensure that penalty awards get overturned hopefully we will see match officials be as vigilant and consistent in all SPL and Cup matches and it won't just be HMFC games that are refereed in this manner? If match officials have these powers to intervene lets see them use them every time at every venue for/against every team otherwise people are entitled to feel there is a bit of a vendetta against HMFC compared to other teams.

Yes at the moment it is clear that there is a vendetta against Hearts (and Kilmarnock).

I await with interest the intervention of the 4th official in the Rangers v Celtic derby, or in factm in any game in which either of the old firm play. The chance of a 4th official changing a refs decision to the detriment of the old firm are slim to non existent!
