Dougie McDonald
(Edinburgh)- Back to Ref League Table
- 30/08/05 Partick v Saints (Challenge Cup) 52
(8 votes) - Plenty of good advantage and not many contentious
decisions.
- 31/12/05 Airdrie v Saints40 (7
votes) - Two penalties some daft bookings and not helped by dodgy
linesmen
- 29/04/06 St Mirren v Saints 17 (3
votes) - Cards galore as usual but tried to keep a grip on things
for a change
Brian Winter
Back to Ref League Table
- 09/08/05 Cowdenbeath v Saints (CIS Cup)32
(7 votes) - Over-petty officious shocker - far too whistle and
card-happy. Simply crap even if he did give us a penalty.
- 22/10/05 QoS v Saints 14 (3 votes)
- Gave us a penalty but sod all else as he amazed home and away fans
alike with some of the decisions.
- 14/01/06 Clyde v Saints 32 (9 votes)
- Gave us a penalty again but another poor game with some strange
controversial decisions.
- 25/04/06 Saints v Accies 21 (7
votes) - Some strange decisions but tried to let the play flow
and keep the cards in his pocket. Not brilliant though.
Ian
Frickleton- Back to Ref League Table
- 15/04/06 QoS v Saints 29 (12 votes)
- Absolutely dire with no control of the game and unable to make
decisions on his own. Some of the worst refereeing I've seen in years.
David Somers-
Back to Ref League Table
- 08/04/06 Brechin v Saints 33 (6
votes) - No cards flashed and a decent enough game although it
wasn't exactly controversial
Mike Tumilty-
Back to Ref League Table
- 03/12/05 Brechin v Saints18 (4
votes) - Wasn't there so no comment from me....
- 01/04/06 Saints v Stranraer 36 (7
votes) - Poor game with too much timewasting allowed and Saints
denied at least one blatant penalty.
Charlie
Richmond- Back to Ref League Table
- 20/08/05 Saints v St Midden 38 (9
votes) - Failed to send off Hinchcliffe at the penalty but at
least tried to keep the cards in the pocket for a while. Allowed too
much timewasting though.
- 10/12/05 Saints v QoS 46 (11 votes)
- Not a bad game overall with the cards kept in the pocket for a change
but still let some challenges and dissent off too easily.
- 25/03/06 - Saints v Clyde 30 (7
votes)- Absolutely pish.....again.
Kevin Toner
(Gourock) - Back to Ref League Table
- 11/02/06 Saints v St Midden38 (8
votes) - Decent enough game and kept the cards in his pocket for
the most part - some strange warnings though for Scotland despite him
being the victim.
- 18/03/06 - Dundee v Saints 46 (8
votes) - Not a bad game and tried to keep the play flowing.
Steve Conroy-
Back to Ref League Table
- 10/09/05 Saints v Ross County 34 (7
votes) - Reasonable game despite denying us a couple of
penalties. Tried to keep the play flowing.
- 28/01/06 Saints v Brechin56 (8
votes) - Another good game with little controversy and a strange
ability to keep cards in his pockets as much as possible.
- 11/03/06 Ross County v Saints16 (4
votes) - Missed this one so no rating from me but he did give an
apparently dodgy penalty against us.
Stuart Dougal
(Burnside) - Back to Ref League Table
- 04/03/06 Saints v Airdrie 37 (7
votes) -Not that bad a game and kept his cards in his pockets but
some strange decisions especially when the likes of Stevenson and
Scotland were being punched and kicked off the ball
Craig ThomsonBack
to Ref League Table
- 06/08/05 Saints v QoS 86 (20 votes)
- Decent enough game but wielded the cards too early and failed to book
Reid for raising his hands.
- 17/12/05 St Mirren v Saints 41 (7
votes) - Another good game although some of the decisions were a
bit late.
- 18/02/06 Accies v Saints 54 (8
votes)- Decent game with no cards shown although some of the
warnings should possibly have ended up in a yellow card. Can't complain
though
Mike McCurry
(Wegieland) - Back to Ref League Table
- 05/11/05 Saints v Airdrie 49(8
votes) - A decent game and kept his cards in his pockets.
- 21/01/06 Stranraer v Saints 37 (5
votes) - Another decent game with cards kept in pockets and
players under control
Iain Brines -
Back to Ref League Table
- 07/01/06 Saints v Gretna (Scottish Cup) 51
(11 votes) - Bit too chatty and some strange decisions but not
the worst we've seen
Colin Hardie-
Back to Ref League Table
- 02/01/06 Saints v Dundee 38 (13
votes) - Denied us two stonewall penalties and some poor
decisions all afternoon.
Ian Fyfe-
Back to Ref League Table
- 26/12/05 Saints v Ross County 22 (5
votes) - Kept the cards in the pocket somehow and too
whistle-happy. Also denied us a decent penalty claim in injury time
Alan Freeland
(Sheepville) - Back to Ref League Table
- 24/09/05 Clyde v Saints 19 (13
votes) - Words fail me as to what was as bad a performance as
I've ever witnessed. No qualms about one of the red cards but the rule
of objectivity was totally ignored as we were penalised for daft
challenges yet throwing the ball at the ref, hacks, feigning injury all
were let off scott -free. A disgrace.
- 26/11/05 Saints v Stranraer 32 (7
votes) - Decent enough game but allowed far too much timewasting
from Stranraer.
Calum Murray-
Back to Ref League Table
- 23/08/05 Saints v St Midden (CIS Cup) 40
(7 votes) - Allowed Paisley too much timewasting but tried to
keep the play flowing.
- 01/10/05 Stranraer v Saints 30 (4
votes) - Fairly good game and managed to even share the odd joke
with the players.
- 19/11/05 Saints v Clyde 30 (17
votes) - Abysmal performance with cards dished out all over the
place and denying Saints at least one stonewaller of a penalty. Not
helped by incompetent linesmen but that's no excuse.
Craig Mackay
- Back to Ref League Table
- 13/08/05 Accies v Saints38 (8 votes)
- Kept his cards in his pockets but denied us a stonewaller penalty.
- 12/11/05 Scumdee v Saints 44 (13
votes) - Absolute disgrace at their penalty - not helped by the
idiotic linesmen either.
Scott
MacDonald - Back to Ref League Table
- 29/10/05 Ross Co v Saints 34 (8
votes) - Lousy at the offside rule and took his time penalising
some of the challenges.
Andrew Hunter
- Back to Ref League Table
- 25/10/05 Saints v Accies 73 (11
votes) - Almost lost control at one point but plenty of good use
of the advantage rule kept the play flowing. No complaints.
John Underhill
(Edinburgh) - Back to Ref League Table
- 27/09/05 Saints v Accies (Challenge Cup) 47
(7 votes) - Not a bad game overall but let a lot of niggly little
things away early on.
- 15/10/05 Saints v Brechin 41 (8
votes) Failed to red-card Mitchell for raising his hands but had
a reasonable game overall. Not helped by some indecisive linesmen.
Mike RitchieBack
to Ref League Table
- 17/09/05 Saints v Dundee 49 (10
votes) - Denied us a penalty but little real controversy as he
kept the whistle in his pocket. Bit slow dishing out the cards though.
Kenny Clark
(Paisley) - Back to Ref League Table
- 13/09/05 Saints v Raith (Challenge Cup) 47
(7 votes) - Cards kept in his pocket and allowed the game to flow
- must have been an impostor.
Crawford AllanBack
to Ref League Table
- 27/08/05 Airdrie v Saints 25 (6
votes) - Not a bad game with little controversy although some
heavy challenges went unpunished and some strange decisions for corners.
Craig Mackay
- Back to Ref League Table
- 13/08/05 Accies v Saints38 (8 votes)
- Kept his cards in his pockets but denied us a stonewaller penalty.
Eddie SmithBack
to Ref League Table
- 30/07/05 Saints v Alloa (Challenge Cup) 54
(8 votes) - First game of the season but a good all-round
performance with the advantage rule and cards actually used sensibly.
You just know it's not going to last!
