Scottish football needs referees from another country I know it's been said many times but surely the time has come.
I would be surprised if Walsh, the gelled poseur with a conflict of interests, wasn't egging him on over the comms. After all, I don't think the huns have lost any game he has refereed (???) and now he will want to extend that to any game he has officiated.Watching their highlights and as Michael Stewart said, Collum had three big decisions to make and got all three wrong (or right depending on what he was told).
Have they changed the interpretation of the handball law again? The penalty was a penalty pre World Cup break when if the ball hit a defending player on the arm it was an automatic penalty (except if you are Michael Smith of Hearts playing v Celtic) but since the restart that type of handball has not been given (they should call it the Goldson interpretation).
The St Johnstone sending off wasn't even a free kick, he wins the ball and his knee catches Jack on the shin on the slide through. If St J appeal they should get that red overturned, although the damage was already done.
The Jack assault on Montgomery was the most outrageous decision of them all. The fact he is asked to look again by the VAR referee and he still deems it to be a yellow card challenge shows that Collum's incompetence is a danger to players. Celtic should publicly call out a tackle that could have ended the career of one of our youngsters, they won't of course, but someone at the club should be asking why that type of attack on a player is allowed.
It will be interesting to see what ludicrous decisions yesterday's VAR referee, and the on pitch referee at Tannadice, comes up with today. The fact he works with Rangers will of course be irrelevant and ignored.
Plus their day jobs?They are never going to let that happen…..the average salary for an SPFL referee is circa £67,500 per season, more if they are on the European roster. Assistant referees are on about half of that. VAR duties are likely to increase these figures.
Bringing in foreign referees would see an end to the lucrative MIB gravy train and their tendency to do the right thing by the Huns, and that will not be allowed to happen anytime soon.
In my view we should be holding Crawford Allan accountable. He is the Head of Refereeing Operations at the SFA. He is the head of the snake.
For the MIB to consistently act in the nefarious way that they do, they obviously know their actions are being condoned by this man. He need to go…

All conversations between VAR ref and pitch ref should be heard by everyone watching, they do it in Rugby and theres absolutely no reason they can't do it in football.Michael Stewart made a good point on Sportscene, Collum is super quick to flash red or yellow cards. He waited a full minute before showing Clark the red card. What happened in that minute? Stewart hinted that a wee whisper in Colloums ear from VAR was the deciding factor. VAR called that red card and Collum obliged without going to the screen.

The only valid reason for refusing to broadcast discussions would be they have something to hide... the discussion about letting huns off, penalising Celtic or ensuring that no anti-Celtic comments get aired. They've had to be much more careful since Dallas's email got leaked.Unless of course its Scottish

We should be hearing the officials I agree Brim but we might get a bit angrier up here when they see it through the eyes of the hun especially when they say do you agree watp .
