    Craig Thompson did well. Called in at the last minute to replace Calum Murray who was held up in the traffic. Best ref in Scotland for me.

    How the * can the ref get caught up in traffic. Surely he should be one of the first there to make sure the game can go ahead and not be called off for any reason

    I've always thought he was the best ref in scotland, couldn't agree more.

    His inconsistancy today was terrible. I have always rated him as the best ref in Scotland but I thought he was terrible today.

    I don't think he had the best of games today. He was inconsistent in his decisions were one team would get a foul, then maybe a couple of minutes later one team wouldn't for the exact same thing. Having said that, he is still probably the best referee in Scotland

    Some very poor decisions today but I agree that he is one of the best.

    The ref should be there the night before imo, especially if it's in December.

    Not his best game but at the end of the day referees are human beings and make mistakes. Thomson IMO isn't one who would set out to cheat us.

    Human? Nonsense, * him.

    Should have pulled his whistle and directed them all to GTF out his way. :56:

    Dissenters? Straight red. :50:

    thomson likes the limelight, watch the way he always faces the cameras when dishing out cards on tv games, bit like ronaldo always turning to the side of the ground with the cameras as he makes facial expressions, some players/refs are very aware of where the main tv cameras are and play to them
