From The Herald Diary today:

WITH the role of football referees under the spotlight, amateur player Graeme McGregor tells us about his team being in a final last week, and thus having the luxury of two linesmen with the referee for the first time.

During the match, a contentious decision was questioned by a team mate, only for the referee to explain: "I was unsighted, and looked to my linesman for assistance. Unfortunately, he was clapping a dog at the side of the park."

................ This must be the same linesman we get regularly at Partick Thistle Nil matches!
