Incredible game. 2nd leg should be good too

Some start by City.

Yet another BBC employee who doesnt understand the rules it would seem...

They honestly tried to justify it in that way ? What an embarrassment indeed. If you look at Balogun's he actually gets the ball and his momentum through the ball rolls his foot over the ball. Is it a red ? Borderline for me but certainly can't complain too heavily as it could have seriously injured the opponent. Look at Ojala's tackle on Wright though. It is actually, IMO, WORSE than Balogun's for reasons previously explained. Both feet off the ground (Balogun's trailing leg was on the ground, so Balogun was in control). Both feet off the ground immediately means you are out of control. The fact he also caught Wright means he clearly was endangering an opponent. Wright avoiding a leg break is completely irrelevant. Not so sure there was intent but he didnt get any more of the ball than Balogun did. I am actually surprised that any Rangers fans can accept Balgun's was a red but consider Ojala's a yellow - differing opinions I guess - for me though, if anything, the cards were in the reverse of what they could/should have been. Balogun's was more a yellow than Ojala's and Ojala's was more a red than Balogun's. What is almost being forgotten is that Rangers really should have finished that game with more players on the pitch than Motherwell due to the shirt pulling inconsistencies. Arfield booked for shirt pulling, yet how many Motherwell players avoided the same booking fate ? And at least one of them was booked for the penalty too, which would have meant red. VAR can't come soon enough, although some of those decisions, admittedly, wouldnt be overturned (yellows for shirt pulling for example)

That’s what Rangers TV is for. Or any of Rangers’ social media platforms

City are up for it tonight

how much control can you have when both feet are of the ground. The very definition of out of control i would say.

Dont need to have studs up to be out of control and endangering an opponent. It was either 2 reds or no reds, IMO. And that is where the issue is

"The girl" Leigh-anne Chrichton a totally useless piece of flesh who is another IMO who has a hatred of Rangers and anything to do with them as this was proved in a recent Scotland U21 where she continually criticised Middleton.

Sportscene is embarrassing end of story. Full of second & third rate former players masquerading as pundits who don’t seem to understand the rules of the game

The late Peter Osgood told a story about when Chelsea were playing Liverpool at Anfield and Ron Harris hammered Emlyn Hughes with a ferocious 'tackle'. Tommy Smith ran up to Harris with the whole crowd thinking he was warning him to behave himself or else. Instead, he said "I could get to like you Harris". Smith and Hughes detested each other.

Seen people talking about Balogun's being different because he went over the top of the ball. The ball is almost irrelevant though. It's about force and control and likelihood to cause injury and indeed intent. sportscene concluded that because wright had managed to throw himself out of the way of the tackle and save his leg from breaking it was probably a yellow. Utter embarrassing nonsense.

Was that Eamon Bannon? I seem to remember him joining around then. Chelsea had a few Scottish players down the years, Britton, Hay, McCreadie, Nevin, Durie, Spencer, Johnstone (my profile pic) and nutter Rougvie, but the best of all was Charlie Cooke, wing wizard.

Could see another Charlton Athletic whose fans were "sick and tired" of boring 6th - 10th place First Division finishes and wanted Curbishley out. The board listened and the rest is history.
