A few tight off sides, but no issues. Iain & his team have got us off to a solid start. Long May it continue 🤞 @wearethistle @ClubCitizens

Good luck to Iain Snedden & his team at the official opening of the season in Scotland tonight in the @PremSportsTV Cup with @EdinburghCityFC v @PartickThistle Let’s hope you all teams & officials have a great season ahead

That was the most dominant @ChampionsLeague final we have ever seen.
Good luck to Istvan Kovacs and his team tonight in the @ChampionsLeague final between @PSG_English @intermilan
So Willie Collum is now saying they will review how @Dundee v @RossCounty penalty decision will be handled & will speak to players & stakeholders for next season? It was NEVER a penalty. @scottishfa we would welcome a conversation with Willie. Open invite to have a chat anytime

That is a goal all day long. The GK never had the ball in his hands or under control @UnitedStandMUFC
Would love to see this in our League @SPFLWatch @spfl @SunderlandAFC @SheffieldUnited
Brilliant performance from Don Robertson & his team today. Matches look easy but only when the Referee team are in total control. Well done Guys 👏
“Binning” VAR isn’t the answer, getting the best possible version of it would be but we all know why it isn’t in place. VAR has been used too much as an insurance policy for referees who know they don’t have to give the decision because they have back-up.
Imagine that. We called it on the day. The VAR official has had a poor couple of days at the office

The showpiece game of the season with all eyes on Hampden with Aberdeen & Celtic playing out the final game of the season. However, there is a 3rd team involved who it’s a massive game for them. Don Robertson leads the Match Officials & is the man for the job. Our best Referee
