Talk:Hugh Dallas

Article Tags
I do not think that the article requires a complete rewrite now, nor do i think the tone is innapropriate. An editor may still disagree with the neutrality of the article and i still think some of the refs may need to be double checked. So in effect what i am asking is it okay to remove the rewrite and tone tags from the top of the article? Monkeymanman (talk) 12:54, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

"resignation"
Can we point out his "resignation" occured while disciplinary proceedings were ongoing? Obviously the whole tone of the article should be revisited now Hugh is objectively, a confirmed bigot. Particularly the game in 1999 when his sectarian bias caused a near riot. 94.197.90.77 (talk) 21:34, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

If he is found guilty by any disciplinary panel that can be added after they have publicly announced their findings, their is no point wildly speculating about it and wether he is a bigot or not, it would not merit any changes to his refereeing career Adam4267 (talk) 21:43, 27 November 2010 (UTC)


 * "Wildly speculating" about the fact he was under disciplinary proceedings? Why? The sources are there. 92.41.118.131 (talk) 22:02, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

why does this page not cite the fact that he was sacked?
The BBC says that he was.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/9235284.stm

I shall quote from the article.

"the sacking of Hugh Dallas by the Scottish Football Association"

May I ask why this has been omitted from the page?


 * Agree This page is ridiculously biased. Surely the story of Hugh shows you can only get away with that for so long? 92.41.118.131 (talk) 22:13, 27 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Do you have a 'reference' which is more senior than the BBC? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.147.4.188 (talk) 23:35, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Their are also references stating he has resigned it is unclear at the moment what has actually happened. As for you'r allegations this page is bias if you would care to show examples that you beleive are bias.Adam4267 (talk) 22:26, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I have given a link, from the BBC, which states that Mr Dallas was sacked. This information has been excluded from inclusion for no good reason, therefore it would be reasonable to assume that there must be some other reason for the exclusion, and bias would certainly be one of those reasons which would be uppermost in the mind, for the reason previously outlined. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.147.4.188 (talk) 23:37, 27 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Sky Sports and the curret ref from ESPN both say resigned and I would consider both those on par with the BBC although you may be using a different scale from me.
 * As for what appears to be you accusing me of bias I have not made any significant conributions to this page all I have done is remove vandalism and insert a ref
 * I still beleive we should wait until further information is released and that the current wording which states neither 'sacked' or 'resigned', is perfectly fine Adam4267 (talk) 23:50, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * If you could point out where I accused you of being biased in this matter, as you allege I did, I'd be much obliged, otherwise I'll simply have to assume that this is an unfounded and groundless attack on myself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.147.4.188 (talk) 00:17, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

The third wording to show up is appeal. Hugh Dallas is supposed to have appealed against his dismissal. The newspiece is of The Telegraph. I see it as such, that you do not resign, and then appeal against it. The Telegraph seems to make a double confirmation of the version that he was sacked.

Whenever Norway would play, he very much behaved like the 12th oponement. Despite all that he got away with, child abuse (as a subject) was the reason to get sacked. --83.108.28.118 (talk) 23:01, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
