We are a small group of football supporters that have an interest in the Scottish game in general and would like to introduce you to our website www.SPLrefs.com which focuses on referee-related stats, articles and interactive features.

More and more decisions made by SPL referees are coming under scrutiny from the fans, football clubs and the media. The purpose of our site is to allow you, the fans, an opportunity to come together as a football community and share your views on controversial incidents relating to SPL referees and their decision-making.

It's important to note that the site is not about berating SPL referees week in, week out as they do a decent job in difficult circumstances. It is about looking at decisions that could have been made better and through raising these issues, in time, we will hopefully see improvements in the overall standard of refereeing in our game. Our ultimate aim is to be able to liaise with the SFA in order to share your views and allow them to respond.

The success of the site is wholly dependant on your participation. We would like you to leave constructive comments on our articles and respond to points raised by other fans, in addition to this, we would like you try and help support the site financially by opening up account(s) with some of our site partners.

We have provided statistics on each individual referee which show the number of yellow and red cards they have given out at league, referee and team level, along with the number of times they have been the man in the middle for your team.

Thank you to Don and the admin team for allowing us to post on referee-related threads and in return we have placed a link to CaleyThistleOnline on www.SPLrefs.com

Please click on the link and have a look at our site. I'm sure you'll be surprised to see some of the facts and figures our site throws up - feel free to share your views, we'd love to hear from you!

Regards from all at www.SPLrefs.com

Many thanks for all the positive comments, folks.

Here's some facts and figures on this week's referee, Mike Tumilty, that may interest you :-

Tumilty has only given out one card to a Caley player in the two games he has refereed them this season, Ross Tokely being the guilty man. Tumilty has refereed Kilmarnock 6 times in the last two seasons, 5 of the 6 have been away from home with this weekends game making is 6 out of 7 - is this a record?

His stats over the season:-

Kets face it we know already that most of the refs are feckin useless, are are guaranteed some shyte decisions during games, whats the point in the site, will it put more pressure on ref's.... nah.

Well its better than feckin shouting at them from the side lines - especially you !! :thumb04:

The SFA runs FREE courses to become a referee. I don't understand why there are so many great refs sitting in the stands when they SHOULD be out on the parks doing a better job than what they're seeing!

That is because they are not at a high enough level to referee in the SPL.

Wish i could stand at the sidelines and shout abuse...at least they would hear me!!!

After todays shambles with calamity tumilty they need it.

Can you imagine how unappealing it is to think about becoming a top grade referee? It stiill astonishes me that so many games are played every day in Scotland.Who would be a referee??I always chuckle at the amount of caley thistle fans who head for the tunnel to scream abuse at them as they walk off.Most of them then probably walk home cook the tea and get heckled by their missus.

Well I am a referee and its not as bad as everyone believes there is also the incentive of getting paid for your matches and the higher up you get the more you get paid.

Get yourself to Wick then.
