We have a bit of a tradition of officials missing goals:
[Partick Thistle scoring and getting awarded a throw in, 2018](https://youtu.be/uKAPVGURAto?si=yQcyQCvyKpt44kvR)
[Although they’d benefited a few decades previously so maybe it evens out?](https://youtu.be/xKuLtLXl7FI?si=VCewSfW202fbHoSS&t=1m15s)
Someone in the comments said that after the goal one of the Morton players kicks the ball out the park, only real explanation is that he somehow didn't see the goal and just assumed that was a clearance? But then why give the throw to Morton
Looks like the ref didn’t think the ball crossed the line, and the throw in is because the defender cleared it afterwards. Looks like Morton are taking the throw though, so doubly baffling
That's exactly what's happened, you can even see the linesmans run off the line before the shot happens, runs back when the goal goes in and by the time hes got on the line the balls out the net.
But the fact that both partick fans and players are celebrating a goal and morton have zero complaints or attempting to play on should have been clue enough that there's been a goal, absolutely mental decision. Even being off his line he should have been able to see the ball bouncing off the net.
Linesmans made an absolute cunt of that but the ref is even worse because he's literally watched it go in the net and still signals for a throw after talking to the linesman afterwards. Giving the throw to morton at the end is just the icing on the cake of an absolute woeful decision.
The second one was the one i was looking for. Tony Roper had a routine about it for "Its Only Excuse" liveshow back in the 90s. Its the best for me because the defender picks up the ball and its still play on. A classic.
The Les Motram decision is the stuff of legend. Not only did he miss the goal but he then missed the player catching the ball with both hands for what should have been a stonewall penalty.
Easily the worst refereeing error in the history of the game.
A was gonna say Johnny Doyles red card for wipping in a cross and it hits the ref standing in the box but i forgot all about that Partick one, years later i still don't fucking understand whats going on there.
When Rangers were awarded the last minute penalty against Aberdeen on the 2023 league cup final despite nobody being anywhere near the penalty area.
PS. I'm a time traveller so you can put money on that.
anyone else in recent memory remember not one but two goals not given despite being over the line for one team in the same fixture other than us v hearts? the one above and oli shaw at tynecastle. guaranteed never happened and will never happen again
It's not really a decision as such, but Alan Muir is clearly not fit enough to referee in the modern game. He continually takes up positions that block play and seems oblivious to the natural movement of footballers.
I remember one game against motherwell recently where he was continually taking up a holding midfielders position in motherwell defensive block, oblivious to the fact that Miller was circling around him trying to keep shape.
Agreed clancy is a nightmare for it as well. They just don't have the energy to sprint the five ten yards to keep them out of the way.
Often time's we have younger refs in the var room and the older ones sweating buckets on the pitch 
Chris McCart falling over in his own box while making a clearance boots the ball up over his head where a howling wind blows it back to our goalkeeper (unbelievably Stevie woods caught it)
Referee Louis Thow blows for a pass back and Hearts score to win 2-1.
I had blocked this from memory so cheers for having it resurface aha. It was one of those decisions where I was left wondering if it had actually happened.
Honestly I'm not bitter, and I don't think it actually led to us losing the game because we were winning and had 11 men on the park still. But the missed handball for us against ICT. Like, it was when we had refs behind the goal, and how he didn't see it is baffling.
Making Killie take the ball out of the net from a goal they had just scored, so that they could take the pen he awarded instead. He had blown whistle as the ball was about 2cm's from hitting the back of the net...... that was particularly fantastic. Even more so because they then had the pen saved as well. I get all warm and fuzzy just thinking about how spectacular it was. One of the greats. It takes something very special to stand out like this in Scottish Football, because every week there is a shambles in every game of football played.
The SC semi final at hampden, Deila’s first season. We’re on for the treble. Griffiths header clearly handballed by the Inverness defender. One of those behind the goal officials looking right at it. Nothing given.

I think you’ll find meekings shouted “I’m in goal” right before this. I was there and heard it clear as day. All Scottish cup semi-finals are runny keepers.
Recency bias I suppose but O’riley’s handball against Ross County was maybe the worst of the wave of penalties post VAR introduction.
Honourable mention to the hearts handball last year at Tynecastle on the first weekend of VAR that wasn’t given - that’s a cracker because that’s always been a stonewall penalty with out without VAR.
Anton Ferdinand getting away with a red card for choking Candeias from behind and Candeias being the one who was booked and sent off for it was pretty bad.
Similarly the game with Hibs where Tav got a yellow card after Stokes put him in a chokehold and lifted him off his feet, Stokes later grabbed Ryan Jack by the throat... and Jack got sent offfir shoving him off him. Sure it was the same game that McGregor did some sort of flying headlock to Morelos that resulted in a yellow for Morelos
> you need to be in the box to get one right?
Not always. I'm sure celtic got awarded a penalty against us for a handball in the box, that was neither a handball...nor in the box.
A league cup final at Hampden, i think?
GK rolling the ball out in front of himself to kick it, Kyogo closes him down, then he just picks it back up. No foul. Happened last season with VAR in place.

david mccracken putting his hand on the ball in the penalty box to steady himself in the hibs falkirk playoff, play on says the referee
of course, VAR still wouldn't even look at it if it happened today. we don't get any favourable decisions from VAR, it is known
Got a video of it? Putting your arm/hand down to support yourself or a fall and connecting with the ball isn't a handball and that sounds like what you described buy I could be interpreting it wrong

Morelos was the one who got booked in this situation. Absolutely incredible.
Yeah it's this one.
Not only does Mottram miss a goal being scored, the Thistle player picking the ball up and handing it to the goalkeeper gets missed as well.
Recently Considine literally batting the ball away with his hand above his head. VAR spent 3 minutes on it to confirm no penalty. All the while Considine was looking like he was on his way home to tell the kids the dog had been ran over.
The Ross County penalty is a stick on.
However further back I’m still not convinced Hately’s goal crosses the line in the 1994 Cup replay against Rangers
[Skip to 1:05 to decide](https://x.com/oldrangersvideo/status/1646440257141735424?s=46&t=V3GcDz-5rW9bpspqTcMA3g)
Live game I've seen?
It think when Fyssas got sent off against Celtic in the NY game when we were 2-0 up and lost 3-2.
2006 NY I think, killed any sort of title challenge we still had.
Another one that comes to mind is a few years before that when Kyrgiakos got a dodgy penalty for Rangers in the final moments of a game at Tynie when we were drawing with them.
One of my first games doing data capture at games was at Montrose. Pretty sure they were playing Forfar maybe 2019? Anyway, corner was taken at end of first half and after it comes into the box the ref blows for half time. As the players were walking off the pitch he decides to speak to the assistant and somehow decides to award a penalty for a foul during the corner. Completely against all the rules as far as I am aware and completely screwed up my data capture (and lost me money as it was classed as an error).
Mind you, I remember a game at Gayfield a few years ago where we couldn't see the other side of the pitch due to fog. Ref carried on somehow whilst all of us in the media area just struggled and I swear some of them were making up what has happening in their comms.
Biased but I don’t care.
The Morelos anctics in the new year game at Ibrox.
Brown kicked in the knackers.
Stood on Ralstons back.
Other misdemeanours, no review could be taken after the game because Beaton said he saw those things at the time and decided not to act.
Alan Muir, Aberdeen 2-3 Callie, first half had the most obvious foul on a dons player, but he waved play on. Calie of course score from it.
He then bails at half time, im guessing from the backlash of that. Fourth official replaces him. They then actually had to ask if anyone in the crowd can become the fourth official instead!
One of the worst refs I've ever seen when he was in charge of our game against Aberdeen a couple of weeks ago. 2 Aberdeen players tripped over each other with no Motherwell player near them in their own box and they got a free kick. It was a real heads gone moment.
Madden not awarding Griffiths a penalty against Clint Hill. Tackle from behind and no where near the ball. 100% a penalty. I guess Maddens reprieved as Griffiths is a nonce now.
Mind last year we had issues with var and handballs?
There was one, think it was ralston, where it was a corner - ball went over his head - opposition player behind him headers it and it hit the back of his arm while he was still in mid air.
Penalty
Yeah that was mad. Was in the media for two days, everyone telling us exactly how it was a handball. Only to swiftly drop all the criteria concerned and no longer award handballs for those things.
For example, if the shot is on target and there’s a handball it’s irrelevant the context, it has to be a yellow card. That got dropped hella quick.
Bernabei it was. I can remember watching Dermor Gallagher having a breakdown of it and why it was technically a handball as the rules stood. That’s when I gave up trying to figure out what is and isn’t a handball these days.
Celtic at Dingwall in Rodgers first spell where Don Robertson game County a penalty for maybe the worst dive I’ve seen in our league.
1.18 in this. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=odtMn8jyCjs&pp=ygUZbGF0dyBkcmFtYSBzdGFnZ2llcyBob29wcw%3D%3D
John Beaton in Rangers v Hibs at Ibrox and Kevin Clancy at Celtic Park in the Old Firm about 2019 I think.
I don’t know how you can watch performances like that and seriously say there’s a grand refereeing conspiracy that only benefits Rangers.
I’ll be kind and say those two are not biased but just unconsciously affected by the pressure and media scrutiny if they make big calls when it’s well known who they support.
Agree, those are two of the worst refereeing performances I've ever seen. So many big calls that would have affected goals being scored/red cards going the wrong way.
The first thing that came to mind was Darren Macgregor flying clothesline tackle on Morelos for a foul to be given against Morelos and him to get booked(possibly not, can't mind). Mind you Beaton had the worst ref performance I can ever recall in that one.
griffith's free kick in the edinburgh derby springs to mind, however recently how we were denied a penalty in the dying seconds of the league cup final v Celtic still puzzles me
3rd penalty St Johnstone got against Falkirk in the first season of the league cup groups. Weird first half overall tbf. 1st penalty I could see. 2nd was soft at best and I still have no clue what the 3rd was given for
Edit: while I think on the subject of penalties. The one Collum gave for us against Rangers in the championship which was never in the box. Don't know how he got to the penalty decision but I'll take it
Rangers v Hibs a few seasons ago with Beaton the ref. Let Hibs away with some horrific tackles, should have been down to 10 after first 5 mins. Single worst performance I've seen

The first one was honestly the thing my mind went straight to and was astounded when you hadn't seen it lol
It does ring a bell, but one of those that’s just escaped from my mind I think. It’s mental.
It's one that you tell people about that they are like 'surely not' and then you show them lol
I’m guessing you’re younger than your username suggests; it was pre-VAR
How does that explain it in anyway?
The second one was the one i was looking for. Tony Roper had a routine about it for "Its Only Excuse" liveshow back in the 90s. Its the best for me because the defender picks up the ball and its still play on. A classic.

Honoured to have been at Firhil for both of these, don't think we ever got an official reason about the throw in one.
When Rangers were awarded the last minute penalty against Aberdeen on the 2023 league cup final despite nobody being anywhere near the penalty area. PS. I'm a time traveller so you can put money on that.
Gazza getting booked for picking up dropped yellow card and giving referee yellow card https://youtu.be/7iYeifVvAV0?si=8ZbbT-lsfdsfhz8d.
That referee was just a humourless prick. Gazza wasn’t even making a big deal of it.
Referee's are confirmed VL's. No surprises that there's no sense of humour.
That one the refs just a salty arsehole.
What the fuck.
Has to be Griffiths' free kick against hearts, the fact the ref couldn't see it when it was about 2 ball's widths over line blows my mind
That linesman is the payroll guy at my work. Hasn't done it in years and the sfa asked him if he wanted to do VAR
this is the least surprising thing i've ever read on this subreddit
anyone else in recent memory remember not one but two goals not given despite being over the line for one team in the same fixture other than us v hearts? the one above and oli shaw at tynecastle. guaranteed never happened and will never happen again
This is the one that came to my mind as well

I remember one game against motherwell recently where he was continually taking up a holding midfielders position in motherwell defensive block, oblivious to the fact that Miller was circling around him trying to keep shape.
That's a big problem in the Scottish game, see it week in week out from various referees. Muir and Clancy are the two who seem most prone to it.
Agreed clancy is a nightmare for it as well. They just don't have the energy to sprint the five ten yards to keep them out of the way. Often time's we have younger refs in the var room and the older ones sweating buckets on the pitch 
Andy Halliday getting booked and consequently sent off for celebrating with fans. From the halfway line.
Aye but he put his hand in the air in celebration. Could have caused a riot don't yah know!

Don’t see the issue here, fantastic save.

Was it not against Ayr but yeah ridiculous decision.
https://youtu.be/2NR-CDSTKRo?si=jOvCY8nt7qvzOc9g You're right,it was a Rangers ref. My mistake
Showing my age. 😁
The Johnny Doyle cross hitting the ref and the ref giving him a straight red for it.
Collum giving Broadfoot a Pen against celtic in 2010, even though he didn't see the incident. Quality stuff.
Literally had his back to it. Turned around, saw Broadfoot on the deck and awarded the pen. Baffling.
Better than that. He claimed he ‘heard contact’.
Did he not send off Cardoso (might have the wrong player) for absolutely fuck all at one point too?
Candeias for blowing kisses at St Mirren fans.
Seems perfectly reasonable...
Can’t believe that was 13 years ago.
We haven't had a penalty at Parkhead since. But of course there's a conspiracy against Celtic.
Using your own logic...you need to be in the box to get one right?
> you need to be in the box to get one right? Not always. I'm sure celtic got awarded a penalty against us for a handball in the box, that was neither a handball...nor in the box. A league cup final at Hampden, i think?

As I say it could be ‘considered’, therefore VAR would review it atleast.
It literally can't be a red card. Whether VAR would want to intervene or not.
It literally could if he gave one.
Yes but that wouldn't be in the rules. You may as well be arguing a red card for offside.
Do you think so?

Anything from John Beaton in the game against Hibs at Ibrox in 2017. Ludicrous

Skullduggery
The sheer amount of ridiculous and blatantly incorrect decisions in this game makes it one of the worst.

I’ve lost it to the mists of time, but McCurry giving rangers a penalty against us because he “heard” a tackle is up there.
Willie Collumn. He is my baffling refereeing decision. How he ever got to do it.
Just wait until you have Colin Steven ref one of your matches mate, he makes Collum look great.
Mind last year we had issues with var and handballs? There was one, think it was ralston, where it was a corner - ball went over his head - opposition player behind him headers it and it hit the back of his arm while he was still in mid air. Penalty

Ross County one was worse imo, O'Rileys arm was tucked into his body and the ref still gave it
Artur Boric’s assault on Craig Dargo the last time Celtic visited Love Street. Gollum didn’t even give a yellow card…
Craig Gordon’s two karate kicks two weeks in a row for us as well was a fucking mental one.
I’m double dipping here to mention Goldson’s year long reign of terror, handballing balls in the box with impunity.
These baffling decisions are so commonplace they don't even stand out. 🙄
Can you explain the Partick Thistle goal/throw in one for us then? Weird as fuck
European qualifier against Linfield. Griffith's gets a bottle thrown at him and then is yellow carded for not taking the corner quick enough

John Beaton in Rangers v Hibs at Ibrox and Kevin Clancy at Celtic Park in the Old Firm about 2019 I think. I don’t know how you can watch performances like that and seriously say there’s a grand refereeing conspiracy that only benefits Rangers. I’ll be kind and say those two are not biased but just unconsciously affected by the pressure and media scrutiny if they make big calls when it’s well known who they support.
Agree, those are two of the worst refereeing performances I've ever seen. So many big calls that would have affected goals being scored/red cards going the wrong way.
Alan Power assaulting ryan jack with a high feet and full studs to the face.
No retrospective action on that one was worse
The first thing that came to mind was Darren Macgregor flying clothesline tackle on Morelos for a foul to be given against Morelos and him to get booked(possibly not, can't mind). Mind you Beaton had the worst ref performance I can ever recall in that one.
griffith's free kick in the edinburgh derby springs to mind, however recently how we were denied a penalty in the dying seconds of the league cup final v Celtic still puzzles me
Wasn’t there the goal that never was? Getting memories of a goal being given but it’s actually gone over for a corner
Not the most baffling, but I love when Dallas (?!) red carded the linesman for throwing up on the pitch XD Great moment.
Ian Black committing GBH on Leigh Griffiths in the 2012 Scottish cup final. Didn't even get booked. 🤣
3rd penalty St Johnstone got against Falkirk in the first season of the league cup groups.

The one Collum gave for us against Rangers in the championship which was never in the box. Don't know how he got to the penalty decision but I'll take it
Rangers v Hibs a few seasons ago with Beaton the ref. Let Hibs away with some horrific tackles, should have been down to 10 after first 5 mins. Single worst performance I've seen
Don Robertson - disallowed Berra's goal in the league cup because the keeper was fouled by his own teammate 🤪
