Dreadful decision that will be appealed.

This is the same Dan Casey that escaped a Red Card for horrible challenge on young McAusland that led to him needing crutches that night

Oh he's a dirty bastard alright. I've seen a few of our players on the receiving end of more than a couple of dirty tackles from him. So in one sense, tough luck. Daft though, just never a red.

Officiating in the Scottish game is at an all time low. I’d love to lay the blame at Collums door but I can’t. It’s been going steadily downhill for years now.

Collums openness and honesty have to be applauded but there are only so many dreadful performances you can let go before you have to say enough is enough.

For me the dramatic downhill descent started when Hugh Dallas was forced from his position. He was widely regarded as one of the best Scottish referees in decades.

I saw it on follow follow , believe it’s the clip you posted above, and thought ‘nah. It can’t be for that’

Decision....free kick Motherwell.

For some reason Kilmarnock have been involved in games with more ridiculous decisions both for and against this season

Agree, although I'm on the young side to remember too much of Dallas. I remember him as a ref, obviously, but probably at an age where I didn't pay attention to who was good and who wasn't, if that makes sense. Who was the ref who (I think) supported Killie, think he was one of the higher profile and indeed he refereed his last match at rugby park - early 2000's or thereabouts?

That tonight was just farcical. The penalty and red card decisions aside, just constantly blowing for free kicks when there's barely been a challenge, small details like throw ins being awarded the wrong way, stopping the game to speak to players when there didn't seem any obvious reason to etc. Poor and detrimental to the game itself.

The more you see it, the worse it gets...

My honest opinion is I can see how referee made the mistake but I ve seen the still you posted that VAR would have seen and it’s as clear to see. These mistakes simply should not be happening!

As for the Red card. I can only think that when Motherwell player grabs Killie player his hand slips towards chin on Killie player making the slimmest of contact.

Aberdeens implosion continues as they are currently trailing 3-1 at Home to Hibs
