None of his decisions were horrific mistakes today.Starting reading page one and thought it was a new thread about today’s game! Just realised how consistently bad he his reading through some of the earlier posts.
He lost control of the game completely a few times, the dropped ball restart was embarrassing for him.
VAR saved him from making at least 3 game changing and horrific mistakes today.
Fair shout pal, having since watched it back, your correct, it is very difficult, if not impossible to explain how a top level, unbiased official could get those decisions so badly wrong.None of his decisions were horrific mistakes today.
Every decision he made was deliberate and calculated. VAR didn’t let him get away with those decisions.
If Dickinson did not have something to correctly referee the game today, this would have been an entirely different outcome.
He comes from a good family, he's had a fair bit of grief from that mob due to it but I don't think he was a Rangers man as much as his family member.What's Dickenson's background? Doesn't look like one of them although I know that doesn't matter.
The worse Ref in Scotland.What the fcuk was that of a performance.
Absolute bin fire of a match from him.
Any contact on a Kilmarnock player down they went foul. Anything on us no foul.
A penalty when Lundstram turns his back to make a block. His arm only went up after the ball hit it, 2 blatant hand balls by Kilmarnock players, Stevie Wonder standing in as both ref and VAR.
1 minute added time in the first half, in to the 8th in the second, yet it was Kilmarnock who spent 45 minutes wasting time.
Is this what we have to look forward to in the run in referees shitting their breeks to give anything for us.
You saying that after Roofe's goal was disallowed v Celtic? Probably the most significant VAR intervention this season?
I did the same and just couldn’t remember the Lundstram penalty incident from the game today.Starting reading page one and thought it was a new thread about today’s game! Just realised how consistently bad he his reading through some of the earlier posts.

Got the big decisions right? Like the Killie player's handball and red card? Oh no, that again was VAR telling him to review his ridiculous offside decision.Got all the big decisions right and often played advantage and pulled it back for the foul if advantage didnt lead to anything.
Family were all in Orange Order.What's Dickenson's background? Doesn't look like one of them although I know that doesn't matter.
Correct. If I was a ref , I’d ignore penalty claims in case I messed up, because I know I can rely on VAR. Having said that , some of our penalties this season were given by the referee. The refs job will soon be only to blow the whistle when VAR make a decision.What makes you think they have actually missed them? ;-)
His performance in the first 20mins was verging on the surreal!
He's completely lost the plot!
I still can't make up my mind whether he's completely incompetent or just a cheat....probably both!

Once again I’m going to rattle on about the most telling stat of all that has been ridiculously consistent for the entire season.What the fcuk was that of a performance.

I agree with you it is telling. Tbf some of it comes from a few of our players being incredibly stupid and flying in to challenges in nothing areas which allows opposition to just fall over.Once again I’m going to rattle on about the most telling stat of all that has been ridiculously consistent for the entire season.
Once again we dominated possession (74% - 26%) yet conceded more free kicks.
You would think that would be almost impossible, but no, not where Rangers are concerned.
It has been happening all season and it tells you all you need to know about our refs.
Of course we’re going to concede fouls and recklessly too at times, but the disproportionate nature of the stats are way beyond comprehension.I agree with you it is telling. Tbf some of it comes from a few of our players being incredibly stupid and flying in to challenges in nothing areas which allows opposition to just fall over.
But most comes from different threshold referees have for what constitutes a foul for and against us.
One in first half where Kilmarnock player was waiting for contact and just dived across rangers player when he didn’t get it. Ref didn’t give a foul initially but when Kilmarnock player grabbed ball with hands he then gave him it, rather than a foul to us.
The manager would then be called a hypocrite as in previous pressers he has said it’s a difficult job yadda , yadda. He has bemoaned individual decisions but hasn’t “ called out “ referees.He was diabolical the first half. I was disappointed when I got home from the game to find that Clement never called it out in the presser- absolutely would have been warranted.
I agree , I didn’t see any Rangers player “ flying into tackles” I saw players getting up close and the Killie players hitting the deck yet when Killie players were doing the same the game kept going.Of course we’re going to concede fouls and recklessly too at times, but the disproportionate nature of the stats are way beyond comprehension.
Killie had 26% possessions and 60% of all free kicks.
It’s been happening in nearly every game we play.
He’s been got at ever since that clip of him smiling as we scored when he was 4th official has went about.
Who knows what type of intimidation he’s been subject to and now when he referees us he just can’t help himself. Absolutely desperate to go out of his way to make sure he gives us nothing.
Embarrassing, another one that should pack in as clearly his only thought whilst refereeing is not upsetting that mob.

We can all see that the guy was a joke especially first half he had lost the place, doesn’t need our manager coming out and giving the press what they want, a reason to write a headline.
He never fell for it he was part of it. He could have booked tha5 goalkeeper at any point but failed to do so.He fell for every dirty trick killie pulled today, diving, shirt pulling, time wasting and complaining
Totally unwilling to give Rangers a decision. He should be asked to explain why.His performance in the first 20mins was verging on the surreal!
He's completely lost the plot!
I still can't make up my mind whether he's completely incompetent or just a cheat....probably both!
It's incredible what teams get away with against us at Ibrox. Time wasting, stealing yards, kicking the ball away, shirt pulling, fouls at every duel, feigning injury. The game often turns into a shambles for long periods and the referees allow it to happen every week.I agree with you it is telling. Tbf some of it comes from a few of our players being incredibly stupid and flying in to challenges in nothing areas which allows opposition to just fall over.

The pictures are all over the place and have been for months.You do know that's eye candy for lurkers, and if true you've now compromised the cheating c--t even more.

He’s clearly compromised already and scared to be labelled a Rangers man.
Terrible ref
I'm with you on this one. I think that's the one when we all thought it was our free kick and our players pushed forward in preparation for this then it turns out to be for Killie. I know supporters aren't totally clued up on every single rule but that's the last two times he's reffed us that there are multiple times when players and fans seem baffled as to what is going on.Don’t know if it’s been covered earlier. There was an instance in the second half where a Rangers player , in his own half, plays a high ball cross field to another, also in his own half, Killie player jumps and handles the ball. The linesman flags for what I thought was someone being offside in the Killie half, ref gives them a free kick. How can he flag the player offside when he was not the intended recipient and the ball was not played forward. Am I missing something here?

At this point we probably don't need linesmen?Correct. If I was a ref , I’d ignore penalty claims in case I messed up, because I know I can rely on VAR.

Yep, beats me. I'm sure the free kick was eventually taken just inside our half so couldn't be for offside. The fact there have even been multiple drop balls in these last two games suggests he doesn't position himself correctly as he seems to be regularly getting in the way of players or the ball.With that one, at the time I'm shouting at the telly that's a deliberate handball, so that has to be a yellow.
Then he gives them a free kick, so you're starting to question yourself. What happened beforehand that has meant awarding Killie a free kick?
We’re probably at that stage already. VAR check every goal for offside. Linesmen only need to worry about throw ins now. That could be solved by introducing touchline technology and a 3 challenges per half system like tennis. Would save a few quid.At this point we probably don't need linesmen?
Very poor display,as has been the case with this guy all season.::A touch on any opponent it’s a foul against us.Whereas the same push on our players there’s no foul.A Cnut springs to mind
Yip week in week out, yet we have dullards on here soiling themselves over Silva making sure the referee couldn’t get out of giving decisions against celtic by emphasising every time he was fouled.
You don’t need to go down every time you are fouled but in general when our players are they still don’t even get a decision, where as our opponents simply wait for a touch and fold like a deckchair, whistle goes.
He isn't very good but that's the standard coming through now.
If he's the best making their way up I fear for us (the game) in10 years time.
He's poor and weak. Him and that Mathew McDermott give me the fear when they ref us.
