| 22. Author: PARrot Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 02:09 twin par, Wed 13 May 01:02 Im in two minds. The pundits all said outside the box, so a foul. Im listening but it was very close to the Denmark penalty Reply |

| 25. Author: ipswichpar Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 06:35 The officials were awful in both directions last night but we suffered more. A definitely penalty and booking for me last night. And if it wasn`t a penalty I can`t understand why it wasn`t a booking for simulation. Ashcroft did enough for a red last night from my view cumulatively (appreciate it might not have happened if the correct early booking was given). Reply |
| 26. Author: pacifist Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 07:56 Ashcroft will do anything if he continues to get away with it, which he did. Awful refereeing. Reply |

| 28. Author: Athletico Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 08:39 PARrot, Wed 13 May 02:09 Not true. They said it was a foul, but whether it continues into the box was the question. Reply |
| 29. Author: Bandy Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 08:56 Athletico, Wed 13 May 08:39 Whatever the `right` decision was giving a goal kick was absolutely the worst decision. A clear, obvious, foul robbed us of a great attacking situation, and the result is thistle getting possession. Reply |
| 30. Author: da_no_1 Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 09:01 If Thistle go up they better ditch Ashcroft. VAR will shaft him and his antics every week. "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 31. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 09:12 You would have thought for an important match like that the SFA would avoid appointing a referee who had `previous` with one of the clubs but I suppose that might imply that the officials weren`t up to standard so wouldn`t happen. Are our refs really as bad as we claim or is that just fans` bias? I`m keen to see a replay of the Todd incident but so far the only highlights on the BBC Sport website are the goals and they miss the glorious crossfield pass which started the move for our goal.

| 32. Author: king lad Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 09:19 It`s without doubt a foul at the very least and the legs tangle in the box as well. Ashcroft could`ve very easily been off the park in that game if we had a competent referee. Nicolson has been abysmal every time I`ve seen him, for whatever reason he`s being labelled as an up and coming referee by the SFA. He`s utterly lost in these games and completely inconsistent as well. Reply |

Author: Playup_Pompey Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 09:39 "You would have thought for an important match like that the SFA would avoid appointing a referee who had `previous` with one of the clubs" as stated above he had "previous" with both where he didnt send off a st johnstone player for a forearm smash on a thistle player where he was subsequently banned by discuiplinary panel. His last match with us there was no "drama" in the 2-0 win at Ayr and awarded us a pen. Reply |
| 34. Author: Parsdaft21346327964 Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 09:43 Which is actually quite funny because I think the one last night is way more of a pen than the one at Ayr Reply |
| 35. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 10:00 The MattyTodd incident was at least a free kick if not a penalty. We had scored from a similar move earlier so an obvious foul. Ashcroft should have been booked which would have changed his game approach. G Wardrope Reply |

| 37. Author: GG Riva Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 10:31 wee eck, Wed 13 May 09:12 A slippery slope, wee eck. While I agree that Nicholson was worse than useless, clubs cannot ever be allowed to influence the choice of referee for their games. Celtic would never want John Beaton Rangers, Willie Colm, etc. ![]() Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
| 38. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 11:14 `The SFA don’t appoint officials to SPFL fixtures.` I would still make the same pointb regardless of who appoints them. `A slippery slope, wee eck. While I agree that Nicholson was worse than useless, clubs cannot ever be allowed to influence the choice of referee for their games.` I wasn`t suggesting clubs should influence the choice of referee. I`d actually be interested to know the factors that do influence the choice of referee. Are they drawn out of a hat? Reply |

| 40. Author: Leamington_sPAR Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 13:07 PARrot, Wed 13 May 02:09 I believe that if the foul continues into the box it’s deemed a penalty, he clearly had his across his shoulder to impede progress. Reply |
