Murdo wants Defoe banned

The outcry from Saturday has been as predictable, as it has been expected, from certain parts of the media. Suddenly ‘operation stop the ten’ has become a ‘thing’ and the paranoia has been ramped up to Defcon 1, remarkable considering it was already way out of control. https://fourladshadadream.blog/2019/02/05/faux-outrage-only-applies-when-rangers-benefit/

You would think he could have been bothered to turn up to the recent meeting and voice his concerns instead of spouting off in the press!

Why do our players/manager/coaches give interviews with the Sun & Record? I wish they would stop!

Also don't forget we battered St Pats and all we heard was how Morelos wasn't sent off, 3 times, and we are still hearing it now, doesn't matter how we win it will all be washed away in the sea of cheating and conspiracy. Fuck them all, just keep winning and their pain increases, delicious

Correct, however he celebrated all the other goals

Three out of four Rangers penalty calls were right insists former ref Dermot Gallagher Andrew Dallas got three out of four Rangers penalty calls correct - according to former ref Dermot Gallagher. The whistler grabbed the headlines at Ibrox on Saturday as he made a quadruple spot-kick award in Rangers' 4-0 win over St Mirren . The home side converted all but one of the penalties and Dallas has come under fire for his performance. Jermain Defoe faced accusations of diving as he went down under pressure from Paul McGinn - but Gallagher believes that was the only call that was debatable.

But Gallagher disagreed: "Great call by the assistant because it's all about where the assistant is. I think it is a handball because he's put his arms up. "He's definitely caught the ball, he's definitely stopped it and it's on the line so it's part of the penalty area. Penalty. "I just think he's had enough time where he has put his arms." And on the final award for a foul on Daniel Candeias, Gallagher added: "I don't know why the player does this. He's just pulled him back it's quite clear. "He's allowed to carry on and it's definitely inside when he finishes. It's a penalty." https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/three-out-four-rangers-penalty-13950631

Steve Clarke speaks out on Rangers’ penalties and Celtic bookings as he calls for consistency Kilmarnock manager Steve Clarke surveyed another weekend of officiating controversy in Scottish football and called for consistency. The Killie boss had claimed referee Steven McLean had "no control of the game" on Friday night as his side lost 2-1 at home to Hearts. However, the four penalties Rangers awarded by Andrew Dallas in the 4-0 win over St Mirren - Ibrox boss Stevie Gerrard thought his side could have had a fifth - led to much more analysis and criticism. The most disputable of the four spot-kicks was given when striker Jermain Defoe went down easily inside the box as Buddies defender Paul McGinn closed in. Clarke also noted that referee Willie Collum booked winger James Forrest for going into the crowd to celebrate his goal against St Johnstone on Sunday with Celtic team-mate Timothy Weah escaping a caution for doing the same thing following his clinching goal in the 2-0 win. Sitting in the Rugby Park media room ahead of the game against Dundee at Dens Park on Wednesday night, Clarke said: "You sit here on a Monday after a weekend where everybody talks about referees, consistency of refereeing. "One player runs to the crowd yesterday to celebrate a goal and gets a yellow card. One player runs to the crowd to celebrate a goal and doesn't get a yellow card. "Five penalty decisions in one game, one correct, four wrong. There was an offside decision in our game on Friday night. Insignificant. "It wasn't in a dangerous position, it was offside, given by the east stand linesman. Three metres onside. The length of this desk and more. "Has he been pulled up about it, has he been shown it? Has he been told he was wrong? Probably not. Probably doesn't know it's a mistake. It has to be sorted. "It would be nice to see people in authority start to address the situation." Asked if he was becoming increasingly exasperated, the former West Brom boss said: "Increasingly disappointed that nothing has been done to address it. Nothing. "One of our players (Jordan Jones) was suspended for two games earlier in the season for going to ground too easily. "There was a media furore. A witch hunt against the player. Nothing on the same scale from Saturday's game, Rangers versus St Mirren. "Hopefully the compliance officer (Clare Whyte) will do her job. It doesn't affect us, I am nor particularly advocating (a sanction), but I just want consistency. "So if our player gets a two-game ban, I look forward to seeing what happens this week." Dundee lost a late goal in a 1-1 draw to fellow strugglers Hamilton on Saturday but Clarke was impressed by Jim McIntyre' much-changed team. He said: "I thought they were good considering it was the first time they had really played together. "They showed good signs so we go there and expect a tough game but if we can reach our standards then hopefully we can bounce back." https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-clarke-speaks-out-rangers-13950290
