RANGERRAB

My understanding was VAR and Bly rules on offside at goals. Yesterday wasn’t a goal so VAR couldn’t call offside

Much debate about the handball penalty and the incompetence of the officials but I thought the Dessers one was more of a penalty because Johnston doesn’t play the ball & brings down Dessers. Was Collum asleep again? And the biggest mystery of all, how did Johnston & Bernardo avoid second yellow cards? During the live commentary Kenny Miller made the point johnston had committed 3 or 4 fouls since his booking. Only Walsh can explain that one. When was a Celtic player last sent off at Celtic park against Rangers ?

Aye maybe if we get match officials who aren’t corrupt

The sequence of events before and after the johnston handball penalty incident between the match referee & VAR referee needs investigated. It was deeply suspicious that offside was brought up in the second half commentary nearly 30 minutes after the incident. My understanding is SKY have access to communications between the match referee & VAR referee during the game. W as it mentioned at the time? And is offside applicable here in any case? Does it not only apply with VAR for goals only?

Doesn’t SKY get access to this during the game? Surely we’d know if offside was mentioned in communication between the match referee & the VAR referee at the time of the penalty incident . But offside is irrelevant in this instance as it’s only for goals with VAR. It was definitely suspicious that this got brought up during the second half of the game 30 minutes after the incident. Someone (?) at the SFA communicated this to SKY. Who?

As I see it the incidents today which went against us were:- 1) penalty for handball against johnston not given. Clear & obvious error. Offside only used for goal instances. rangers request VAR audio to see if offside gets mentioned 2) Both Alistair johnston & Paolo Bernardo should have been red carded for two yellows 3) I also believe that at the Dessers miss in the first half he is brought down in the penalty box. Johnston doesn’t get a touch on the ball 4) some suggestions at their first goal the ball went out of play when the corner was taken

Our biggest problem in my opinion is successful signings(the major ones). Too many flop or don’t live upto expectations. I still think we’re well behind other clubs in that department including our chums from the east end

Angeball burst at spurs

Fabio Silva on loan has certainly ruffled a few feathers.

Did they show Gallagher the handball ? I suspect not

What about the other so-called Motherwell penalty claim involving Yilmaz when the guy clearly dived? He was already on a yellow IIRC

Beale’s an over-promoted coach.

Man City aren’t. They’re under investigation

Might be their last before the EPL investigations against them begin

Looks like this ESL is a non-starter. More and more clubs rejecting it.

Gone where?🤓

They’ve rejected the ESL proposal. Also have Man City & several top European clubs including Dortmund & Feyenoord. Rangers should sit tight & say nothing for the time being. Wait & see how this pans out. We should not dismiss anything that gets us out off the SPFL and into a better league

Was never gonna be a classic tonight. Third game in seven days. But we need more creativity & imagination in the final third to score more goals

Sunderland are a strangely run club nowadays.

If they are breaking SPFL rules what action will be taken against them?

A great afternoon. Particularly enjoyed watching Dumbcaster and McLennan handing over winners medals to the Rangers players 😋 Did Jack Butland have a save to make all game?

Just hope Thursday night hasn’t taken too much out of the players. I think it’s scandalous to be playing this final on the Sunday after European games midweek

Thought that was one of our best away performances of all time tonight alongside Dortmund a couple of years ago. However important games still lie ahead this month. Don’t forget that. A win on Sunday is essential. And a win at the bheggardome would send a clear message to all our enemies

The referee was about 6 yards away & had a perfect view of the tackle. He gave a yellow card. Why did VAR need to get involved?

Correct. MacCausland must be given his chance. So far the signs look good. I thought he did well yesterday when he came on. A couple of times he was waiting for a pass & was the through on goal but didn’t get it. Perhaps he’s not vocal enough yet. All part of his learning process
