Did he mean it? your arms have to be at your side for it not to be a pen. Anything making your silhouette bigger isn't allowed. I could forgive it if mulgrew goes or the other one is a pen and a red perhaps. All round a very poor refereeing performance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,444 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Slightly off topic! why does Rangers TV mute the fans??, every match you can hardly hear the fans, when it's a dodgy stream it's a much better atmosphere 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,750 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 You could hear the fans loud and clear on Sky but then the downside was Crocker/Walker. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, that is a downside, just the fact they mute the crowd every match! weird! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onevision 1,454 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) All 3 should have been pens with 1 red card given. Jota heads the ball on to his arm which then flicks it away from landing on the Dundee players head, clear pen. Remember Alfies handball recently was not intentional, not only was a pen given but he also got a yellow card.

Alfie getting a card for that was wild. really crazy stuff. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,484 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I've always been in favour of VAR. I think, no matter how incompetent, in certain situations like an offside, they cannot hide because the lines are there. What's more, we can see them. If it is conspiratorial, then we'll know. I keep going back to their goal in the League Cup Final a few years ago; the most glaring offside goal you'll ever see, which would have been overturned with VAR. Of course, there are and will always be interpretation of rules in certain situations, as there should be. It's here that their incompetence will just carry over; you're not changing that without drafting in a better standard of Referee. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,484 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I do wonder what Madden's reasoning was with the handball? Or if he's just not seen it (VAR would correct that). Even Andy Walker was in favour of giving a penalty, and that's saying something! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 it is a massively harsh penalty. No advantage is gained by the handball but the rules are clear. penalty all day. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
