Rate the Ref: Don Robertson (Away, Hibernian, 24th Jan 2018)

[TheDarkBlues]

The ref against Hibernian was Don Robertson . How did you rate his performance in this game?

[Robert]

We've had some right belters this season but he is right up there with the worst. Absolute disgrace some of the decisions especially the one not to book McGinn therefore send him off. Told McCann it was just "a trip". Wow.

[Ricky Spanish]

McGinn cleaning out Kamara was a booking every day of the week!! If he isn’t already on a booking he gets a yellow, no doubt in my mind!! Tantamount to cheating.

[TheDarkBlues]

Worst ref for being biased I have seen at Dens for a long time...... Bob Valentine will be getting out of his grave to shake this boys hand after this game.

McGinn should have been off the park for that tackle!

As with the Aberdeen game were they should have been down to ten men ....again refs treating us with contempt , McGinns tackle is a yellow all day long!!!!

After warning our skipper Kerr, he booked the next man, Hendry, for what was effectively a collection of team fouls.  Wasn't aware it was in the rules you could do that.  Then completely ignored the succession of Hibs fouls.  Bottled it completely for McGinn's tackle that should have seen him sent off.  A shameful, incompetent performance.  He should stick to his day job whatever that is.  Probably shyte at that too.

My mate turned to me very early in the match and said “that ref is clearly itching to book one of our boys.” Very shortly after books Hendry for a challenge which was a foul, but never in a million years a booking. As you said, shameful performance.

It looked like he warned Kerr a few minutes beforehand that we had committed a number of fouls in succession and that the next one was going in the book.  The next one just happened to be Hendry.  Now if that rule exists I'm not complaining because refs should use it more - like all the time.  First time I can remember seeing anything like that - if that was what actually happened.

Played against 12 men but should have been 10.

Just watched the foul on ALBA. Yes. possibly a foul but never in a million years a booking.

The law on persistent fouling applies to the individual and not to the team; the referee was out of order talking to our captain and (as it looked) telling him too many team fouls and next one will be booked. That's rugby type sh**e not football.

No doubt I will  get slaughtered for my post.

Perhaps you will now believe me that the referees are out to get us because we did not “lie down and accept” our 25 point deduction in Admin 2 season with good grace.

The Scottish Football League directors wanted us relegated to Division 2 ( League 1) and when we did not carry out their wishes our punishment is referees giving decisions in favour of every team we play against.

When was the last time that a referee had a good game and was unbiased to both teams let alone showed us a bit of favouritism.
