The SFA has finally announced that Willie Collum will no longer be officiating these matches. I am honestly relieved that our frustration was acknowledged and that we can finally move forward to fair play on the pitch. Thank you for sticking with me while we demanded this change.

Willie Collum is by far the worst referee in Scotland, his decisions baffle most clubs managers, players and fans. Recent stats show that Willie Collum is responsible for 26% of all red cards issued (19/72) and 28% of penalties given (28/79) this season.

It's time for the SFA to act and stop this man from ruining Scottish football with his ludicrous decision making. He is not fit to referee amateur football never mind top flight football.

Seeing 2500 people agree that the standard of refereeing has hit a breaking point is validation for every fan who has felt cheated by these calls. We deserve better than the chaos we watch on the pitch every weekend.

Seeing this level of support confirms what I have felt every weekend from the stands while watching my club suffer. People are tired of seeing these matches decided by such erratic decisions instead of the players on the pitch.

One of the worst referees I have ever seen. Jeez, I have to go and pay to watch this guy as well if he happens to be officiating a game that my team plays in. Given the choice I'd rather not. I'd hope that it's just incompetence, but I've got my doubts.

Been watching scottish football for 52 years and he is probably the worst and most controversial referees iin my life time. he will also be involved in a huge controversial decision in the up and coming Euros. An embarrasment to the whole of Scotland

Collum cannot be allowed to continue to referee at the top level. He is totally inconsistent - some might say biased - and he appears to be the centre of attention instead of the football. Good referees are not noticed during matches.

Scotland's top referee? I find it shocking that a petition is required to remove him from a level he is not competent enough to handle! Don't like trying to cost someone their job, but supporters have had enough of the game being ruined rather than refereed!

If I was as bad at my job as he is at his I would be sacked, Yet this guy has aomehow been rewarded for his incompitance and has been given champions league games and a euro 2016 spot. where he is going to make scottish referees a laughing stock

disgusting his 'refereeing' tonight may cost aberdeen the title...even the commentators said it strange how he notices some but not the others...meaning giving the non fouls he did to Caley and dismissing the blatant fouls against Aberdeen
