Dickinson is a clown.  Milne did kick the ball away and it was intentional.  To be fair to him he thought the keeper was about to pick up a ball from behind the goal so I think his intentions were actually fair enough.  Booking was ridiculous.

The Keresztes one was even worse.  As he was running back on the park he ran into a ball sitting on one of the ball cones and the ball bobbled onto the pitch.  He wasn't looking at it and it looked totally accidental, Dickinson is straight in his pocket thinking it was time wasting.

Two bookings for a total clown referee who thinks the game is all about him.  Given his track record when reffing us we should ask for him not to ref our games again.  

I don't think he is biased.  He's just shit.

Agree with all of this.

Furthermore, wtf was that all about in the second half when Keresztes got fouled, the hearts boy was booked for the challenge and he then made Keresztes leave the pitch, which doesn't happen when the injury was caused by a foul that results in a booking. He clearly knew this as he let the other Hearts player stay on for the clash of heads with Sevelj earlier in the game.

Just really, really poor refereeing.

I think it goes to the very highest level where the attitude appears to be 1/ Police the game , a distant Second 2/ Let the game flow
Opposite of attitude which should prevail
There has to be some method agreed on whereby clubs have more say in appointment of referees.

As somebody pointed out, 8 Fouls in first game v Rapid. Dickinson - you’d lose count.

And as for this seasons latest arsey thing they’ve come up with - taking throw ins from exact spot to nearest millimetre doing my head in that one. Can’t imagine that’ll get enforced on uglies.
But no I do see where they’’re coming from, my fix would be red llines at edge of pitch every 10 metres. To some extent this would force players to police themselves, if not and we continue with fxxx whistle I’d sympatise with ref a bit.

Bring back Tiny Wharton !   (You'll remember him Billy)


 

 
Dickinson is a terrible ref.
Don't know if he's the same with other clubs but he definitely doesn't like us.

Another really bad one is Craig Napier.

Milne was booked in the first half for doing so, can't have it both ways.

 
Nah, Keresztes didn’t mean to kick the ball away and the Hearts boy who was taking the throw had already picked up another ball so in essence there were two balls on the pitch.

The Hearts boy getting booked for it was also a joke - a very similar situation as our keeper was going to pick up one of the other balls anyway.
