BountyBairn Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 He should be demoted to either League 2 or asked to referee in the feeder Lowland or Highland Leagues. Send him to Brora or Wick for a game for example. ^ this + block all roads so he can stay there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send him to Brora or Wick for a game for example. Why's that then? Because he got a couple of high profile decisions wrong? A little perspective from some wouldn't go amiss. He hasn't actually committed a crime. Everybody makes mistakes, he's had an unfortunate run of high profile ones recently, but it hardly warrants treating him like a leper. It is fairly unusual to give him three in a row though. Yes, it is, and the fact the press are reporting it as a "demotion" probably means there's some substance to it. I was more commenting on the general implication that Collum and others like Craig Thomson refereeing at this level is particularly unusual. It's not.

Shadwell Dog Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 If a player continually fecks up they get dropped and replaced by someone else. Why should referees be any different? The guys a dreadful referee but unfortunately he's not the only one in Scotland. John Beaton is right up there with him for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SFA have probably thought it's for his own good. Take him out of the limelight and the media coverage high profile games bring for a short period and let it 'cool down' before bringing him back.

sneeuq Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Whats the cost for away fans for this one. Seen the price on the Falkirk web site for home fans but can't see a price for away fans. Is there a parent and child price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegrass Bairn Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 This. The idea that Collum is being "punished" by doing a Championship game is an utter nonsense. He;s done Championship games at regular intervals all season. It's not his first. He did our game at Livingston on January 2nd too. Was he being "punished" then too? All the referees, even the very top ones, occasionally do matches in other divisions. Yeah they do, and so they should; but its more the point that its patronising in the extreme for it to be viewed by the media that refereeing a Championship match is "punishment" - because Collum (or whoever) has made a mistake in a big boys game, this is clearly viewed as one that matters more. Collum has a history of shocking gaffs - punishment should be suspension, if 'punishment' it is to be. Why should he get to feck up Falkirk v QoS or Ayr v Cowdenbeath any more than Partick v Hearts?

RUSTY1111 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 In response to SD; Although Collum is supposed to be representing Scotland in the European Championships in the summer. Best out of the limelight for a while so he can take a reality check for when he'll officiate higher profile matches than in Scotland during the summer.

Which they have done by giving him a couple of weeks in the Championship. The idea that they should send Scotland's (theoretically) top referee to do Brora or Lowland league as some sort of disciplinary action is ludicrous.

Gaz FFC Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 On the subject of dodgy refs at our level we see a lot of useless tadGers and I can't help wondering about the ones who don't make it to that level. They must be a special kind of bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, trying to keep perspective on this, as you suggest - Let's not have Collum hung from the nearest yardarm, but honestly; were you surprised or not that he got the gig for France this year?

Rugster Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Sure with Jim in goals circa 225 minutes this season we have conceded a looping one in a hundred volley. Not bad for such a poor keeper. P.s your league position will be confirmed roughly 9.30pm on Wednesday. Hi. It's roughly 9.30pm on Wednesday. What's the position?
