@TheRefsView @refsupportuk Come on Des
When you reffed you had no VAR so it was in the opinion of the referee.
You also had no non deliberate hand ball rule to content with.
It was easy then when it came to handball…we had to deem it deliberate
Now we have an utter shambles of a rule.

Today, the Scottish Premiership title-race goes to the final day for the first time since 2011.
Best of luck to both sides.
This is a massive occasion for our game and the world will be watching.
Our league deserves this showcase after a whirlwind season, let’s hope it delivers in a positive sense and we are talking about a very good football match afterwards.

@refsupportuk Anybody who has witnessed Scottish football this season knows this is complete nonsense!
English
Again and again refs make less mistakes than players yet the consequences for the players are ALWAYS weighted less than any refs mistake.
The Ref’s View@TheRefsView
@refsupportuk Sadly, this season we are not seeing “one” mistake, but repeated mistakes from the same officials, in the same big games, who are repeatedly appointed to the next big games. Lloyd Wilson, on the other hand, made 1 mistake & hasn’t been in the Premier since

@TheRefsView I'd welcome you to come onto The Huddle Breakdown for a discussion on the state of refereeing
English
Failed journeyman refs speak - who by the way, have no knowledge or experience of operating VAR at the highest levels
The Ref’s View@TheRefsView
Those managers are sacked, those goalkeepers and strikers get dropped. Your referees fail upwards and are given games every week after making regular mistakes. We condone and abhor any personal abuse and threats aimed towards referees as everyone should.
English
@Alan_Morrison67 You questioning referee’s integrity and peddling conspiracies leaves a bad taste and puts current referees and Willie in a far more dubious way.
We use our experience and knowledge of the game to give opinions in a professional manner, can you say the same?
English
@TheRefsView Your frankly bitchy stance against current referees and Collum in particular leaves a bad taste especially as I am assuming you know many of these people and as former refs is it too much to ask for a level of professionalism?
English
@pauln1984 Think you will find that is an absolute nonsense, we have no personal vendetta against Willie.
We, along with everyone else have a right to comment and give opinions on decisions and Willie (as the face of the SFA) explains the decisions and we are able to question his opinion.
English
@TheRefsView This account has been on a season long (or longer) campaign to get Willie Collum sacked. In what way is that not personal?

English
@Alan_Morrison67 I think you will find we have praised Willie for being open with his explanation of certain decisions but there is a lot of inconsistency in his transparency which we have questioned.
Welcome a debate not a problem at all but we don’t welcome personal insults from yourself.
English
@TheRefsView It is to Collum's credit he has managed to moderate the worst excesses of behaviour through his transparency - fresh air and light is a powerful disinfectant - something you won't acknowledge
Happy to debate - chose your pod

@Alan_Morrison67 We didn’t do the podcast or run this page when Crawford was in charge but we have our views on his tenure at the SFA which will be pretty well documented based on other things we have done.
If anyone out of this conversation has pushed a narrative on John then we refer to this.
English
@TheRefsView I am not claiming to be a ref expert - I ask a professional, neutral expert as I am biased as a Celtic fan
The analysis using public data into refereeing continues - the patterns of assistance have changed appreciably since Allan left post - a man you will not criticise

condemn* before anyone jumps on it, predictive text getting us there.

The SFA have to do more to protect referees like John and everyone else from personal attacks but also have to recognise that as long as analysis is fair and balanced, it should always be welcomed and not shut down because certain people in Hampden don’t like being challenged.
English
There has been a mass hysteria placed on Wednesday‘s decision because of the circumstances, that should never become personal attacks.
That being said, we can’t just ignore the fact that there are poor decisions every week that are not met with such scrutiny but are just as bad.

The SFA are expected to support John Beaton’s decision to award the injury-time penalty for Celtic in last night’s victory over Motherwell.
Willie Collum will address the controversial incident but not until his latest VAR Review show, which is expected to air next week.
English
@KBob64 @JimSpenceDundee Will we just ignore the fact that there’s two balls, there’s an English Premier League badge and the fact that the two people on this shot aren’t Sam Nicholson or Auston Trusty? Other than that, I’d say it’s pretty conclusive.
English
For us as a team, no obvious handball.
It is not a clear and obvious error for us therefore shouldn’t have been an on-field review.
The Ref’s View@TheRefsView
Handball or no handball?
English
@Rab_e86 That’s not a foul throw. His foot or part of the foot must be behind or on the line
