Finally the subject of this OP, Craig Thomson, announces his retirement from refereeing!! Two words from me: GOOD RIDDANCE!! One glaring stat I'll refer to is the fact that Hibs have won only 4 or 5 games under Thomson since his ref inception in 2004-05!! That covers a period of approx 14 years and has always been highly suspicious as well as Hibs NEVER winning an Embro Derby match under his officiation!! Couple that with his ST holding at Tynecastle in the 1990s and one wonders why he was never "vetted" much like the English FA practise as normal!! Also the fact that Thomson was actually a poor referee anyway never "helped his cause" esp after some of the scathing comments from Euro footie managers of teams that Thomson f##### up with some shocking ref decisions when he wore his undeserved FIFA badge!! IMO the cheat who "got away with it" apart from his 12-16 month discreet SFA suspension from Embro Derby matches that began in the autumn period of 2012.
