How many games are left?

Probably title deciding game today, LIVE on TV right now ... Rangers Women vs Celtic Women at Broadwood Stadium. BBC LIVETEXT BBC LIne-ups

They are aiming for a record score and to rub our noses in it so it's up to us to meet the challenge and stick it right up them

Has to be Sterling, Diomande and Lundstram in midfield.

Reflecting back on yesterday's game, I had a wee chuckle to myself regarding the "drop ball" incident in 1st half. Don't know who was more confused, the Rangers players, the Killie players, the ref or the fans 🤔 😀 Before anyone jumps in, not a dig at Dickinson, just a funny incident (was raging at the time tho!). Oh here's something for the lurkers, hearing Dickinsons old man helps run a RSC bus......

Will we sign a new deal with Castore after the current one finishes? Anyone in the know?

Put sterling in central midfield not out wide as he was first half yesterday

Fair enough. Just glad the officials are ultimately making the correct calls.

No, your changing the narrative. OK if they aren't missing them, why aren't they awarding them? That's the correct process. If a referee thinks it's a penalty, they award it. If they are wrong, it'll be overturned. If they aren't missing them, why aren't they not missing them in other games and waiting on VAR to "confirm'? You're tying yourself in knots on this.

Only problem there is that you could easily apply that epithet to all the UK ministers too.

I don't think they are "missing" them. You obviously do. We have reached an impasse. We got all of those penalties though, that's the main thing.

What's confused you? Both stats are correct - out of our last 15 pens, only 3 have been given by on field referee and the last 11 given by VAR. I know it's a bank holiday Monday, but come on.....

Off course it's the correct decision in the end but why are on-field referees missing 11 consecutive penalties for Rangers? Or as you claim, are they missing the same amount for other clubs? If not, why not? It can't simply be down to relying on VAR unless you can show me any other team who have their last 11 pens awards via VAR and not on-field ref.

We got the penalties, so I'm not that bothered about how or why. Correct decision in the end. 🙂

I've backed up my claim - 3 of our last 15 pens have been awarded by VAR. That's the only claim I made. You countered by saying that it happens everywhere, but can't prove that. All I asked was can you prove another club has had to rely on VAR to be awarded 11 consecutive penalties.

Would you like to back up your claim, based on conjecture, with statistics? You said they should be easy to find, so why haven't you?

Has one team had anywhere near 11?

I've found this on ESPN - 97 VAR overturns in the EPL. 28 of them penalties. https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/38196464/how-var-decisions-affect-premier-league-club-2023-24

So you've made a claim based on conjecture?

Where would I find these statistics? I am not into stats, in general, so have no idea what websites would provide this sort of information. Rousseau might know - he's into that sort of stuff.

Or they're waiting for VAR to make the decision.

You've made a huge jump to a incorrect conclusion (again). Where did I mention masonic or anti-Rangegs conspiracy? There is factual evidence that referees (for whatever reasons) are getting 4 out of 5 penalty decisions for Rangers wrong. The facts are there, black and white - last 15 penalties, only 3 given on the field. I asked you to substantiate your claim that this is happening "everywhere VAR is used" yesterday, but you chose to sidestep. I'll ask again, name me one other club where they have had their last 11 penalties given by VAR and not the onfield referee. If its happening everywhere, it shouldn't take you long to find.

Bit of a stretch. As is happening whenever VAR is used, referees are less inclined to make big decisions because they're fully aware VAR will let them know what the correct decision is. See the offside situation (flag rarely goes up now) for proof of this. When Dessers scored in the first game at Ibrox, the ref gave the goal and then VAR ruled it out - did the Micks and the Masons switch positions that day?
