Blame game keeps rolling on as referees continue to make the same old mistakes

-

ANOTHER big game. More fury directed at a referee after some questionab­le decisions by John Beaton in Rangers’ loss at Kilmarnock. And round and round we go.

Don’t bet on it changing any time soon either. Clubs don’t want Video Assistant Referees to help existing officials because it costs money.

Meanwhile, Crawford Allan has been head of referee operations at the SFA for over a month now.

Has he said anything, anything at all, about having just one big idea or revolution­ary plan to raise standards and rebuild trust? No, didn’t think so.
