Seemingly nothing has changed over the past 13 years. I remember listening to that on the bus to a Hibs game (it must have been the early game even though I'm sure it was a Sunday, f**k knows where we where going) best interview ever. Levein really does look like that c**t that murdered Suzanne Pilley and never told anyone where her body was though. David Gilroy. Uncanny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His brother bounced about clubs making a hatful of appearances for most of them. It’s a big jump to his dad being a club legend with over 500 appearances across 17 seasons. I know you’re fully aware of that, you’re just being deliberately obtuse. Edit - while I wouldn’t necessarily advocate it, as someone else has pointed you could make a case for ruling some of the others out anyway. If you have family ties to a particular club you shouldn’t be refereeing their games. In fairness to Steven McLean, I don't think anyone particularly cares about Ayr Utd or Kilmarnock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) When it comes to 'neutral' refs and 'neutral' venues, Aberdeen never get a venue in Aberdeen nor a referee from north-east Scotland. That's how it should be, but over the years similar rules have not been applied to our opponents if they are from Glasgow, Edinburgh or even Dundee. If it's a demographic thing, then let's enlist foreign refs......... Edited November 18, 2021 by tarapoa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 It may still be the case, but several years ago officials could request a specific fixture for their last game in charge before retiral. Regarding McCurry, that match was his last game of that particular season, but I think he carried on for a further year before retiring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Stiles Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Of course they should. It's a no brainer. Obviously it'll never happen. They previously got rid of showing where the ref was from and it doesn't take a genius too work out why. The SFA always has and always will look after their own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddie Holly Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 i can only remember one ref who supported st mirren and that was craig thomson and i hated getting him as he went out his way to make sure he couldn’t be accused of being biased 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezz Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I haven't read the full thread so apologies if this has been covered but surely if ref's were made to declare who they supported and then stopped from taking charge of games involving their teams, and their teams rivals, then we'd have no-one of a 'decent' standard left available to referee the games in the Premiership. I imagine we'd run out of top flight refs fairly quickly if Rangers/Celtic supporting ref's couldn't do any games involving either half of the Old Firm, refs that support Hearts/Hibs couldn't do games involving either Edinburgh club, then you've got the Dundee teams. How far do you take it - Motherwell/Accies, County/ICT, St Mirren/Morton? Others may know far better than me but I would have thought the country and our pool of referees isn't big/deep enough to stop refs taking on certain matches because of who they support. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of his job as host will be to protect the bbc from any claims off the back of their broadcasts so he will be trained to step in on that sort of situation.

I appreciate that but a simple disclaimer would suffice rather than valiantly defending refs or wanks like Traynor. At the end of the day the show during the week is filled with opinion and speculation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could a Hearts fan referee a Motherwell/Dundee Utd game right now? Fucking stupid idea to block referees from refereeing because they support a rival. Meanwhile, would certain supporters believe whoever the referee said they supported anyway? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
