    Referees

    It’s the Scottish championship but surely there can be a better standard of refereeing

    Dunfermline the ref did nothing about time wasting

    Against Morton - I don’t know where to start

    Fouls to stop goal scoring opportunities and no cards

    Referee sees a dive and either gives Morton a free kick or when it’s obvious and he calls it as a dive there is no booking

    Then the Cudjoe sending off

    What an absolute joke

    The club, Goodwin or someone has to take some action

    Regardless, we didn't play well enough to win that. This should be the sole focus of JG's concern.

    To be fair to the ref, he seemed to be handing out sh!te decisions in equal measures. They really should have had a penalty second half.

    There was nothing fair or equal today. We got nothing from him and they fell to the ground anytime they liked to get a free kick. Their boy didn't complain about the penalty not being given. Only surprise was the ref didn't give it.
    Completely lost control of the game. Looked like he wanted to prevent football breaking out. Definitely favoured the underdog. Actually think it is the worst I have seen. Beyond incompetence and seemed more like cheating to me.

    Cudjoe was stupid. Raised a hand and the linesman gave it. Not sure there was force, but was always going to be given. Actually think Goodwin should have taken him off at half time as it was clear the ref would give him nothing whilst letting their number 6 away with a number of late hits on Cudjoe

    If Cudjoe has reacted then it’s lesson learned , however , the refs performance has caused the reaction, one of the worst I have seen and in Scotland that takes some doing. Shouldn’t distract though from what was a poor performance at home , created very little the away performances have been better .

    How good a view does the ref require before he gives a pen?

    That's the championship for you, the refs are brutal, and a lot, not all of the teams that come to tannadice employ those sort of tactics, Dunfermline's time wasting was embarrassing, Morton were what you would expect from Dougie Imrie Hamilton type sides. I do have a bit of sympathy for a ref at those corners, so much going on from both teams, probably about a thousand fouls going on both ways. Tbh, my frustration was reserved for Utd today, that was a woeful performance.

    Frustrated with today, gifted them a goal when we've been defensively sound at a point when we were looking like taking control second half followed shortly after by the sending off, turned into a game they wanted in the end, a result that gives more confidence to the likes of Partick and Raith

    Felt Glass was unfortunate to be hooked but can understand why after the sending off, beauty of a cross for the goal

    Think the sooner Docherty is back the better, Tillson is ok but annoying that we haven't had a full strength team out for any home game as yet

    Ref was hopeless right enough but our own mistake between cb and gk cost us

    Louis Moult was also getting targeted

    It was consistently biased ref

    He’s either stupid or biased. Should have got control early on with the Morton fouls but did nothing

    Have seen a video doing the rounds regarding the sending off and i hope the appeal is already on its way.
