We had no match official involved in a meaningful way during the World Cup and having seen Clark, Dougal, Mc Donald, Conroy, Melville et al in action, there is no reason to believe that we will be sending a ref to the Champions League Fianl or a Euro Championship final in the near future. Does anyone else think Scotland`s refs are rank rotten at the minute?

Scotland has the worst referees, along with the Premiership who's refs aren't a whole lot better. Watching the Spanish league on Saturday. Barca and Real played out an amazing 3-3 draw and there was even a red card but all the majotr decisions were correct and fair. Controversy hardly ever appears in La Liga.
Hugh Dallas was supposedly Scotland's top whistler and respected around the world. But he was only ever able to be a 4th official, and now the guys we send are nothing more that a token presence. What annoys me is that, if you pick up any newspaper on a Sunday or Monday they are constantly slated and given marks of 2 and 3 out of 10 and no-one seems to question why this is. It's time for an overhaul of the system in this country and preferrably before the next old firm game.

They are not good.
The standard of refereeing in Scotland over the last couple of seasons has actually went down hill drastically.
They seem to have lost all concept that football is a CONTACT sport, but you would not think it half the time. Would rather dish out cards than talk to the players as adults.
They seem to think that they are GOD and what they say goes. It doesn't matter whether they are right or wrong, they are answerable to no one.
They don't even have to explain their actions and if players / managers make any disrespectful comments about them they can be pulled up in from of the SFA / SPL Board and end up getting / fined or banned.

Yes Raker they are indeed poor to say the least ,after a game we should all struggle to remember who the ref was ,not up here though,bad decision after another.

To be picked in these major tournaments you have to also come from one of the biggest tournaments eg. we have Seria A
La Liga
EPL
Le Championat
Bundesliga etc... including the rest of the continents big competitions.
So this is how referees are rated.
Thanx!
