ComradeDiego Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Referee for tomorrow is Alan Muir. Last match he refereed for us was the 3-1 defeat to k*llie in March 2022. Last match we won when he refereed was a 4-1 win away to Arbroath in November 2017. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbroath were actually on top of us for the most of the game, yet we managed to go 4-0 up with being very clinical and David Hutton having a meltdown in goal. A very fun season for the most part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, obviously you get shite refs but the decisions usually even themselves out. Unless it's David Munro. Worst referee in Scotland by a country mile. Bordering on dangerous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get referees like Stevens that manages to ruin every game. You also get referees that are so naive that they ruin a game by giving free kicks every time a team asks for one. They are almost always the new batch we get every year. You’ll always get mistakes made by referees and you have to accept that but some just don’t help themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have watched us with Steven McLean refereeing? A reminder for the uninitiated, he has referereed 27 Ayr games and we've won 3! A whopping 11% win rate with him as referee. Not only is that a statistical anomaly but he is a certified DKB to boot. Edited February 16 by Trogdor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could discount any in the last year, we barely won any regardless of the ref. The first game I remember him officiating was the play-off game against Airdrie when he sent off Longridge after 20 minutes for his first challenge that looked a yellow but he was straight out with the red as quick as he could. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not also ref the LC semi final and missed a deliberate handball in the buildup to the goal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he’s never giving us the benefit of doubt on any decision. During the Campbell money era, he spoke about two incidents with referees that always stuck with me. One was at the old Love street, Stuart Kean was brought down on the edge of the 18 yard box in a last man challenge and the ref waved play on. Money went daft to the point the ref went over to speak to him. The referees explain was, if I’d given the free kick,I’d have to have sent the boy off. The second was a ref who came in to the changing room before an away game against Dumbarton, he came in and asked Ayr to change out of their home kit to allow Dumbarton to wear their away kit which was white. I can’t remember why. Ayr were already stripped and Money told him not to be so daft. The referee shouted to him, you’ll get f**k all out of me today then and flounced off. He sent Barry Nicholson off for a last man challenge 10 yards in to the Dumbarton half. He also refereed a game at Somerset against Peterhead, I can’t remember what happened but it involved Eddie Forrest and a penalty I’m sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the game in the 2007/08 season were Peterhead had two late penalties? Edited February 16 by Richey Edwards 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
