Anyone actually asked why there was no VAR check when Cantwell was kicked to the ground by Maeda in the penalty area?

No but probably because it was an upper body barge, rather than a kick (Cantwell actually kicked out at Maeda as they fell).

 

Would've been a soft penalty.

Let me get this right. You genuinely think that by complaining on Gersnet you're going to prevent this sort of thing happening again? Good luck with that. 

 

See, there's you putting words in my mouth again. Where have I said, or even indicated that? 

 

LOL indeed.

Didn't think it was a penalty at the game but it happened at the other end from where I sit. I've not watched it back but would have complained if it had been given against us.

All this indignation about a refereeing decision that cannot now be changed is merely deflecting from the dismal failure of the manager and players alike to score goals and stop Celtic scoring. 

 

Referees are often a problem for Rangers, everyone knows and expects that. What I don't expect or in any way accept is the sort of pathetic performances we've witnessed since the season began.

 

We didn't lose yesterday because of a dodgy refereeing decision. We lost because we couldn't convert any of the many chances we had and because we couldn't string six passes together before surrendering possession of the football. That's what we should be focussed on.

By that logic, we shouldn't complain about the manager or the tactics either as it's not going to prevent it happening again.

I don't know why you say that .... because it always has done in the past.

This is most interesting.

 

Not everyone will support the club on this but I do.

We did convert one of our chances, and nobody can say if we would have lost or not if the goal had been allowed. so it's incorrect to say that's not why we lost. It's one of the reasons.

 

It's a bit arrogant to tell people what people should and should not be focussing on. It's not an either/or. We can debate more than one aspect of the game.
