    Like i said before if we play to our potential then NO ref and i mean NO Ref can stop us from getting a result. We all know that we don't get the rub of the green when it comes to refs, but that just has to make us play better to a point where we cannot be denied a win by dodgey decisions.

    Scott Brown was sent off for less in a recent derby match.

    Thought he did well.

    Got the big decisions right: penalty claims all correct decisions, would have been harsh to send Bougherra off too I felt.

    Only mystifying bit was why Mulgrew got booked, but really felt he had a very good game overall.

    We have with plenty of reason been very critical and hard on the refs this season. So credit where it is due Thompson had a decent game yesterday.

    I have to say it, I thought Craig Thomson had another great game as ref today, as he got all the big decisions right, and allowed the game to flow and be a spectacle. He made Gollum look like a pub referee.

    To my reckoning Craig Thomson is the best ref in Scotland by a country mile.

    :50:.

    He cost us the game at Ibrox last season though so i've still got a wee bit of hatred towards him like I do all refs.:56:

    He did Ok but was wrong to book Kayal for his first foul and then he booked De Graaf for the slightest pull back to even things out.

    Didn't he send off Ledley and Lennon, and deny that clear handball penalty against Hearts.

    Probabally, most refs have cheated us at least once

    I used to think maybe three years ago that Thomson was by far the best ref in Scotland, Hugh Dallas then came in charge and he turned into a *.

    Dallas gets sacked he's reffed two games for us extremely fairly.

    Coincedence?

    have u seen a handsome hun
    up until he cost us points at ibrox i had thought he was pretty fair......i'm sorry i just dont trust one of them. you do an analysis of what is a bookable offence when celtic are playing and when the huns are playing, the same ref is always quicker to book a celtic shirt.
