On a bizarre day, Saints raced into a 3-0 lead, were pagged back to 3-3 and then ended up winning 6-3. It was the first of three games so far this season for Mr O'Reilly. The next was a dramatic 3-3 match with Motherwell at St. Mirren Park and he awarded the visitors a rather soft penalty that day. In January he oversaw our defeat to Hearts at Tynecastle and while he awarded a spot-kick again, that time it was fairly stonewall.
Last season, Mr O'Reilly oversaw another high scoring Saints game as we thrashed Dumbarton 7-0. He was also in charge of our 1-0 away win over Kilmarnock and our 3-2 defeat at Dundee United, although he did give us a penalty.
Strangely, this is only this official's second game with Aberdeen. The first was against Hibs at Easter Road last season and ended in a 2-2 draw, the hosts scoring in the last minute.
Despite this being the end of the season, Mr O'Reilly has shown just one red card this season - and I'd have no problems if that was still the case after Saturday.
