Zappa 0 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Naismith's touch past the defender was brilliant there as well. You'd have to say that he was very likely to score had he not been tripped. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 6,787 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I get angrier and angrier every time I see that incident. I don't think I've every seen such a stonewall penalty not given. Not just a penalty but a red card as well. As for it being a strange night, I though that in some respects it followed a host of other European games at Ibrox - a large (anf growing) section of those in attandence are not the type of fans we require at Ibrox. This has been evident over the last couple of seasons during European campaigns. Cammy F 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beattie 0 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Ugh.. I'd made a point of not watching TV footage as it would bring the anger back from Tuesday night and I walk into this thread and see that clip.. Jesus. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 The ref supposedly said he was going down before he was touched which to me is clearly not the case. He would have had a great chance of scoring too, so no need to go down unnecessarily, especially if he remembered those that have been booked lately for diving. He had more chance of a goal staying on his feet than diving for a penalty. He also didn't look like he slipped or stumbled until the contact. We really, really need TV replays to help refs like rugby. Maybe it's me but, I feel Rangers and Scotland are more hard done by than anyone but in the end I have no qualms if it works against us, as I don't mind to losing when the refereeing is correct. I just want a fair game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want a fair game. The UEFA don't want a fair game they want the rich clubs getting richer and the poor clubs poorer. why do you think they are fighting against the use of video evidence? Because it will take away their ability to manipulate games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now why would they do that then? They should just save us all the bother and pick the teams from the countries with the biggest TV revenues... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
