    Seen the honest mistakes thread from a particular season and it got me thinking about a few shockers. Watched the game against Dundee Utd yesterday when Dougie MacDonald lied about reversing his original decision to give a penalty as well. What is the worst decision of refereeing performance you can remember.

    Willie Collum awarding Broadfoot a penalty for diving when he was facing the wrong way instantly comes to mind for me. What comes to mind for all?

    @murphy88 a few spring to mind.

    cadete being flagged for offside vs huns when 3 players where playing him on.

    hartson in league cup final big * Lorenzo playing him on.

    Scottish cup semi vs hearts Ledley looking other way in 2012 and * get a penalty

    bobby madden vs st Mirren - sends victor off for a tackle that was a booking then gives them a blatant penalty for a dive.

    bobby madden vs Dundee Utd - Matthews wins the ball from GMS think it’s a corner and GMS looks embarrassed as he gets a penalty.

    Don Robertson vs Ross county - * dives they get a penalty and then sends broony aff knowing a red would rule him out the next 2 hun games got overturned!

    @murphy88 a euro one I will give you and it has to be the most incompetent performance I have ever seen from any offical at Celtic park was a French guy called Claude Columbo vs Celta Vigo in December 2002 baldy * was as incompetent as they * come, never seen anything like his performance in my puff even from the Masonic * of Scotland.

    Was that bad the next match vs Stuttgart UEFA send Pierluigi Collina over to ref it!

    Who can remember the game vs hearts at tynecastle in 1998 we battered them and it was 1-0 in the 90th minute from the 80th minute on hearts got every 50/50 going! They get a corner and Jose Quitongo scores.

    So Celtic kick off and we work it to Morten Weighorst and he is clean through one on one vs Gilles Rousset and the * blew the full time whistle!!!!

    Then few weeks later we batter hearts at Celtic park and they go down time and time again.

    Big Mahe gets injured and is down for about 5 minutes same referee we get 30 seconds injury time!!!! Game finished 0-0

    cant remember his name but he then got the huns game vs Killie and played 6 minutes 2nd last game season and Killie scores the winner * Karma.

    Paul Larkin talks about it in one of his films as blatnant as you will ever see!

    Davie Weir on Shaun Maloney at Ibrox. Stonewaller not given.

    Bougherra commiting countless fouls and then come right through the back of Robbie Keane when on a yellow. No red card and then gave the wee wink to Weir.

    Aye I remember that one.

    I seem to recall Stokes being clean through and brought down in the League Cup Final against Kilmarnock and we didn't get a penalty.

    League Cup semi against Hearts. Penalty awarded for a handball. Ref told players it was for against Wanyama even though he had his back to goal and it hit Ledley. Easy to get them mixed up though eh.

    Three European ones come to mind. Giggs and Eduardo dives. The penalty Milan got against us at Parkhead as well. Cross shelled well over everyone's head and out for a goal kick and the ref gives a pen.

    Calum Murray was shocking when we had the chance to win the league at Ibrox. Cha and Wanyama sent off. We were never going to be allowed to win that day.

    I remember the linesman being absolutely hopeless in that game as well, flagged an offside from a throw in and the ref went along with it:giggle1:

    I'm not picky.
    Was Maloney not denied two stonewall penalties that day or was it someone else? I knew Maloney was denied at least one though.

    Also, the Bougherra one was despicable. From what I remember, he got a booking pretty early on in the match, but continued to foul throughout the whole match, some tackles worse than what he got booked for too. Should have got a 2nd booking at worse for persistent fouling.

    I remember one against the orcs where I think Alan Thompson got sent off for a "headbutt" on Lovenkrands. An absolute nothing incident and the * just collapsed to the ground holding his face. I think Stuart Dougall was the ref for that one.
