Sorry to be bah humbug but why Willie again!?? He’s had it 3
times in the past, and personally I don’t think he’s been the
best referee this season!

This is his third. My view is that Clancy, Madden and Collum
have been the best three this year and the other two have had it
more recently.

I bow to your greater expertise Tweed. The best three referees
I’ve seen in the games this season have been madden, Robertson
and Walsh.

I've not rated Walsh at all the last couple of times I've seen
him - nothing major but lots of petty fouls given and some more
obvious ones left as well as fairly random decisions to book.
RObertson is probably my favourite ref in Scotland because he
lets a game breathe but I think sometimes his eagerness to do
that means he doesn't give some fouls so as much as I like him
and would happily have him referee Motherwell every week, I
think the other three are absolutely consistent when giving
fouls and cautions and can handle the big games.
Also neither Walsh or RObertson have the big game experience to
do a final - neither have done an Edinburgh or Glasgow derby,
Robertson has just had his first go at Rangers v Aberdeen and
made one KMI error at least, possibly two. I think they could
both make it to Final Day but they're just not there yet.

i dont normally comment on the refs performance, i realised a
long time ago that its a difficult enough job without others
passing opinion, but Collums performance yesterday goes back to
the good old days of the glasgow mafia gifting decisions to the
old firm to sustain their stranglehold over the others.
that was never a penalty, and his inability to control the game
led to numerous over the ball fouls by both sides to be fair.
as stated previously collum should not have had the final, and
as usual i find it incredulous that a glasgow referee should be
officiating a glasgow team in a glasgow/edinburgh final

I cannot comment on the quality of Willie Collums performance
yesterday as I’m out the country, but what I can say is that he
does not live in Glasgow.
