Jim White 0 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Ally McCoist has admitted it is likely that Rangers will appeal after Lee McCulloch was sent off in the 2-1 defeat at St Mirren. More... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 What for,he elbowed the player end off. So as he can play on Wednesday? No time for the review commission to meet before Wednesday I would imagine. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would or it would not be consistent with other cases. Waste of £1,000 in my view. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 1,876 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I think it was quite a harsh red but I don't see any mileage in appealing. For it to work, and I would bow to someone else's knowledge of the rulebook, but wouldn't there need to be some sort of tangible evidence that the referee made a mistake? The evidence is pretty clear that he made contact with the elbow so there is no point taking this further. Plus the referee had a clear view of it. Saying that, Carey made an absolute sow's ear of that. The reaction was not proportionate to the contact, at least from the various tv angles we saw. So why is that any different to Aluko going down when there was contact v Dunfermline? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say there is no doubt that McCulloch elbowed his opponent which is violent conduct, so he is ordered off. That Carey may have made a meal of it, isn't an issue in McCulloch being sent off. Whatever, contact there was on Aluko, was minimal, and certainly not violent, that is the difference. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, say Carey had only claimed the foul but hadn't gone down like he did, and stayed down, would the red card have been shown? I think the reaction of the St Mirren player had a big part to play in the decision and as I said, I don't think his reaction was proportionate. Sure the game situation and the nature of the foul are different, but the end result is a player over-reacting to get the decision he wants. I'm not disputing it was a foul, I just think there's a hint of double standards at play. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when we see it on the box we will see that the ref is looking straight at McCulloch and Carey because he sees the jostling, he sees the elbowing and blows right away. I may be wrong but I don't think Carey going down had much if any part in he refs decision. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Did the Aberdeen forward not get his yellow for Elbowing Goian overturned and that was more of an Elbow than Jigs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
