"Collum stated, 'We want to remain consistent between now and the end of the season because then if we don't, clubs will question that.' He emphasized the importance of maintaining uniformity in officiating decisions."
"'It's actually not about covering defenders for me or distance, it's actually about the speed that the Aberdeen player has been able to pick up because he latches on to a mistake,' Collum explained regarding the Gordon incident."
"'A similar incident involving Rangers' Mikey Moore... should have resulted in a free-kick and a red card for Kerr,' Collum noted, indicating the need for on-field reviews in such situations."
"'It was a clear red card for excessive force towards his marker,' Collum said about Celtic's Auston Trusty, reinforcing the necessity for accurate officiating and VAR involvement."
