    Don Robertson is now easily the worst official to get landed with for big games. He is the biggest culprit of letting teams kick lumps out of us, whilst if we breathe near an opponent it’s a foul.

    That approach seems to be the new tactic to influence games as it’s often all stuff VAR wouldn’t have to review and just breaks up games and stops us getting any rhythm.

    On top of that he seems to have made his way to the top of the pile of refs to be handed big games just now, which is mental as he was getting hounded a few years back for making ridiculous decisions on assaults being yellow or no cards and missing blatantly obvious things in every game he reffed.

    Something has to be done about him. He's without doubt the worst and most dangerous ref in the country..

    It's Robertson, he's always like this against us and very pro hun. I'm pretty sure he was the don't fould him Tom referee.

    Did anyone notice how at Kilmarnock corners he stood bent over in half face right in amongst it standing well inside the box even closer to the players than he was to the outside of the box.

    Celtic corners he stood 5 yards outside the box well out the way, stood up straight.

    That alone is bizarre refereeing and looked desperado stuff hoping to give them penalties.

    Like this would be his positioning

    Was the first time in my puff I ever noticed a referee getting right in amongst it in the box for a corner then noticed he never done it for our corners.

    Iam sure that nonsense free kick they ended up hitting the post from the keepers punt in the first half, he was walking away smirking to himself after giving it yesterday

    Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but as much as Maeda was very harshly dealt with for the booking, Ralston was embarrassing too when he tried to win a penalty.

    Was there not a picture of Don Robertson giving Michael Beale the handshake on here before.?

    I'm sure it was that *. He is the worse of the worse.

    He doesn't need to be seen giving anyone the old knuckle tickling handshake to know that he's nothing but a dirty cheating masonic *

    Yep.
    Robertson is a dirty cheating * straight out of the Monkey Club.He's found a way to get round VAR and wee Willie Collum. Don't give any calls that bring VAR into the picture, continue to break up our play with petty foul calls, book a string of Celtic players to hamstring them, ignore time wasting by our opponents, and not add any decent extra time if we are chasing a goal. And that's just for starters. He's a past master for the Huns.

    I’d like to know his verdict on the goal we got disallowed, the penalty we conceded, the possible red card of Cornelius and the penalty we should of got when Hatate was wiped out.

    I said it at the time it was stupid but Trusty's was never a red.. it was debatable one as I seemed to be in the minority, even with the Tims I was watching with.

    Hatate is a clear penalty.

    We also need pay for goaline technology, farcical we don't have that.. and the automated offside as, trying to freeze a frame and draw lines under pressure is open to 'honest mistakes' being made.

    Thought Cornelius was 50/50 tbh, the height of the challenge probably saves him.
