Squirrelhumper Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/craig-thomson-broke-protocol-refusing-8685255 He really is a terrible referee, was horrendous first game of the season at Rugby Park, had a nightmare the following week at Dens and made a tits up of it on saturday at Perth. For once in my life agree with Sutton. Hopefully they strike again and we get decent ref's for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you disagree with is his assessment of Thompson and Strachan? I disagree 99% of the time with Sutton but agreed totally with him on those two.

Forgot about that one Griffiths looks like he's doing the same to Thompson in that article..................did sutton call Thomson a bottler for not sending Griffiths off?

Rossy Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 While I agree that Thompson isn't a particularly good referee, I'd love to see Sutton get a whistle and go out and officiate at a high profile SPFL game. It's easy for him to sit in the commentary box firing abuse at people when he's never done it himself. C0ck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Sutton makes me long for the return of Craig Burley, he's that bad. Having said that, he was right about Craig Thomson bottling it at Dens. What Craig Thomson has done in effectively giving 2 fingers to BT particularly by starting the 2nd half early is a pretty bold move. I can't see it ending well for him, but then he is one of our top UEFA refs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also had a pop at some manager/ex-manager recently, can't remember who, possibly Deila though, saying that whoever was a dreadful manager. Chris Sutton has a win record of 14 games out of 50 as a manager. Loved him as a player at Celtic in that "would hate him if he was playing against us" way but can't stand him as a pundit/co-commentator, comes across as very arrogant.

Charlie Richmond was quoted as saying that refs are given the nod from a TV advisor on the touchline so the blame supposedly lies with that guy, rather than Thomson. Why would the ref care about a TV deal?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Craig Thomson has 5 domestic red cards this season, all for Motherwell players, and that wasn’t the worst one. In fact it wasn’t even the worst one he’s given Kipre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen the highlights of the Motherwell penalty claim, would’ve been on the soft side, but Thomson had a great view of it. Not sure how being held with 2 hands on the chest makes Main’s legs give way.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
