The ASSistant Referees

Last updated : 29 July 2004 By Dov
What is it with the Referees and so called Assistant Referees that we have here in the Scottish Premier League.

This is meant to be the best league in Scotland for crying out loud, but a half daft monkey could have seen that Marvin’s header was over the line TWICE.

I don’t even know what the ASSistant referees name was, but if his name was Dopey, then I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised.

You only have to look at the former Livi player Gerry Britton, who was harshly sent off against Rangers (surprise surprise).

The ref saw what he wanted to see, and it is all right him saying that he made a mistake now, but the damage has already been done.

But at least he is man enough to say that he called it wrong, but when it is Rowbotham’s turn to explain, we’ll be here all day.
