Celtic v Rangers - Nick Walsh

Of course this is one of the most watched games in world
football and most Old Firm referees are subject to all sorts of
minute scrutiny and ridiculous conspiracy theories when they
blow their whistle.
But today, Nick Walsh can be very delighted on his excellent
handling of this always tempestuous affair. Right on top of the
play from beginning to end, he allowed the game to have life,
allowed the physical side to go a little bit and only used his
yellow card when appropriate and may I say, correctly too. Not
only that, he was always in good position to make decisions and
sold them well to the players who barely argued with him, which
is terrific to see.
It did help that Celtic dominated the game from start to finish
and Rangers weren’t at the races at all, but you can only
referee what is in front of you and Mr. Walsh can go home
without the usual scorn that follows the referees of this
fixture. In fact, I go so far to say he did a first class job
and neither side or their supporters can go on social media and
voice their often wide of the mark opinions.
Top performance!

Impressive performance from Nick Walsh. At 31 he has a big
future as a referee on the international stage.
