Uilleam 5,409 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 We may take heart from the fact that guttersnipe always overreach themselves: the further from the sheuch, the more they expose themselves, and the higher their fall. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,195 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Decent statement from the club ! A club spokesperson said: “Once again, there seems intent to change the decision of a Referee in a match involving Rangers. There seems to be a steady erosion of respect for Scotland’s Referees and the authority they are meant to enjoy under Rule 5 of the Laws of the Game. “The decisions of Referees regarding facts connected with play are meant to be final but Referees are now routinely invited to change their decisions after a game has finished. “It is particularly shocking that another Rangers player has been singled out for retrospective action and issued with a notice of complaint while Jozo Simunovic, the Celtic player who used an elbow to fell Jermain Defoe, has escaped any kind of censure. “Why did one incident escape punishment while the other is now deemed worthy of a red card? We cannot understand how these two incidents could be studied yet only one be considered worthy of punishment. “It seems as if Rangers’ players are being held to a different code of conduct from players at other clubs. We shall vigorously defend Mr Flanagan and have also asked for full transparency on what matters are brought forward for retrospective action. Are those decisions being made even-handedly?” 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how exactly does she choose which incidents to review and act upon and is there any kind of outside influence being brought to bear. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,671 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 27 minutes ago, craig said: Are those decisions being made even-handedly?” That's likely to be depicted as bringing the game into disrepute. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,409 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 The game is already in disrepute, and is losing any remaining semblance of reputation, daily. Such a charge must be laughable, at best, and prosecution even more risible. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 It's now blatant corruption and everyone knows it. Despite this, no one in the press will say it is. What bigger sporting story can there be than a corrupt league and yet not a single word will be written about this. It's disgusting! I'm furious. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,240 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 We have players punished retrospectively as well as by heinous refereeing. Again, a player has been offered a ban (which he should not accept) for a challenged watched and sanctioned by the referee. A challenge that is no-where near anything to cause the CO to act. But she does. Again. Here`s a little Brown fact-file ... Brown vs Boyce of Ross County https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1lJeyD_5XA Boyce fouled Brown before and within a minute Brown went after him and jumped into his ankles from behind A red card all day long, the Scumm appealed (since they were playing us soon after) and the card was reduced = distortion of competition as an by all accounts illegible player was freed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odtMn8jyCjs Here he does the same as McGregor vs Aberdeen, Yellow Card and that`s it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQ2Tthg_x0o Scot Brown vs Ian Black ... typical Brown-Yellow and .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x30VoACHQI ... he laughs and gives the ref a thumbs-up ... Mr. Madden. A Brown challenge vs Candeias ... potential ankle-breaker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCqEUzjt6UE or one Salim Kerkar ... and Walker doesn`t even know whether its a yellow card tackle. Aye right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlipCnAsi1U ... and the scumbag laughs ... ... bt outside Scotland - who would have thought it - different rules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qixMMGXaQI4 All we want is a level playing field and a standard applied to all. Especially this season, we have one rule for the mob, and one rule for Celtic. That is not on. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
