I posted last night that I didn't want to hear excuses about refereeing performances. That was said out of frustration when we went 0-1 down last night. However looking at it again this morning, I have never seen a referee performance like it before from Madden, I thought Clancy's was bad, but last night's tops it without doubt. I accept that referees make mistakes as their human, however last night was more than a mistake. How Hibs and Aberdeen have finished the games with 11 is bewildering. Then you've got the Griffith's blatant stamp on the Accies player and not even booked - that would have been a straight red had it been Morelos. It's clear that we are now up against everyone if we are to win anything. Can anything be done? A complaint to the SFA will fall on deaf ears, can we go to UEFA?

I agree with you mate but if we take our chances we pump them 3/ 4/ 5-1 last night. Arfield and Aribo good chances with someone volleying over from about 5 yards aswell. Hopefully we have now signed an midfielder who can finish in hagi. We re also not helped in some instances Alfredo throws himself down for very little/ first half. The rest of game however was ridiculous and the bear hug humping session was scandalous.

Sirstruth, i'm a bit like you. I can moan about refs but wouldn't normally use it as an excuse but this season it has been shocking. Despite all the poor decisions, lack of yellow and red cards for hibs, allowing Morelos to give Stevenson an in game piggy back where did he get 5 mins of injury time and then play 6 mins. Yeah a couple of hibs players went down for a few seconds in the second half but never 5 mins. If Hibs were leading 2-1 at the time there would have been 2 mins tops of injury time.

Yes, i'm afraid to admit. i'm now jumping on the "officials are against us" bandwagon.

Ref was abysmal and ignored his linesmen at times too. He was visibly annoyed when we scored the winner, then awarded 6 mins overtime which was stretching it a bit. Hibs, like aberdeen before were let off time after time.
Alas that's the way the sfa is now.

Struth what a load of nonsense, ref was visibly annoyed when we scored.
He was just terrible, many on here starting to sound like them re paranoia.
We are Rangers, better than seeking to blame everyone else.

We are not 'blaming everyone else'. We won. The referee at the very best made many dubious decisions (and non-decisions) against us that were mystifying and at worse blatant cheating.

Covenanter my post elsewhere highlights benefits we have had in ref decisions.
