I am looking out my crash helmet as I write this. I was as peed off with him as anyone on Sunday but with the benefit of rewatching the game I have to say he got the major decisions right.
Disallowed Cadden goal, technically correct
Hearts penalty, correct
Hearts penalty claim denied at the end, correct
Aldred and McHugh bookings, correct (first fouls maybe but bad ones and we would have been screaming for them)
Hearts booking after halfway line clash with McHugh, correct
Naismith booking, correct.
Kipre booking, correct.
Was it a perfect performance, no...lack of playing advantage, and you could argue a few yellow cards could have been issued to certain Hearts players for persistent fouling, but it was far from the awful performance I thought it was and all the major decisions were correct.(imo)
It is not his fault who is father is, all I can see is a young inexperienced guy making his way in the game, probably in top flight ahead of schedule because the overall standard is not good.
We all complain the standard is terrible but I find myself wondering how many capable folks are put off getting into refeering given the stick dished out. (and I plead guilty myself to that).
I think there is a bit of a witch hunt starting with this lad because of a few dodgy performances and who his father is, rather than judging on his own merits, which in time may or may not prove to be good enough.
I am now disappearing into my nuclear bunker for a few days
