Zappa 0 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Surprised nobody posted this for a wee bit of footy chat amidst the boardroom and financial chaos. Our old pal Craig Thomson, the news just keeps getting better! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Craig Thomson will referee the Scottish League Cup semi-final between Celtic and Rangers at Hampden on Sunday February 1. The assistant referees for the Old Firm clash are Graham Chambers and David McGeachie, with Calum Murray the fourth official. http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Football/Scottish+Championship/Rangers 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 5,196 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I never thought it would be anyone else. This game was always going to get what they consider as their best and most experienced referee. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,674 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I never thought it would be anyone else. This game was always going to get what they consider as their best and most experienced referee. He's their best and most experienced referee? LOL Very inconsistent and error prone is how I'd describe Thomson. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 In all honesty we were always going to be up against it in this game, so getting Craig Thomson as our ref might end up making very little difference anyway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Scottish refs as a whole are crap. Must be the sub-standard fitba' they have to keep pace with every f@cking week, and very well paid to do it as well. Willie Collum is easily our most consistent referee, he consistently gets it wrong 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 6,082 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I believe Steve Simonsen had a ton on us finishing the semi-final with ten men. Now, Craig Thomson has got the gig, Steve has banged on a grand we will finish with nine. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchorman 0 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I regrettably don't think the referee will be the deciding factor in this game. I can see no result other than a royal thumping unfortunately. Our players have shown no guts for a battle especially if we go a goal or two down. I fear they could cave. IMHO sadly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
