I have always tried to give referees the benefit of the doubt as they have a very hard job. It is difficult to keep emotions and subjective views out of the equation when looking at events involving one’s own team, but let’s do that. So, this season Motherwell have received five red cards. All of these have been flourished by Mr Thomson. This season Mr Thomson has shown a red card five times, all against Motherwell. No other referee has shown a Motherwell player a red card. Mr Thomson has not shown red cards against any other team. Statistically, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that Mr Thomson is biased against our team. Perhaps it is time for our CEO to have a polite discussion with the refereeing supervisor to ask why such a skewed series of decisions has been delivered by the one referee against the one football club.
