[FT] Kilmarnock 1 - 2 Rangers (Tavernier 55; Lawrence 58)


Recommended Posts

Garbage game tonight, apart from the two goals of course. Thought Diomande was very lucky not to see red, but then Killie must have paid the ref a thousand juicy pies not to give us a pen tonight. Taking the three points away with us is the main thing. On to Motherwell at the weekend.

Now the dust has settled, that's only Killies 3rd home defeat of the season and we are the only team they've lost to in the last 15 games (having beaten them twice) 

 

Horrible pitch, a team set up in typical McInnes style, who are very difficult to defeat. 

 

The game was made more difficult by our woeful 1st half performance,  officials who appeared not to apply the rules of the game (foul on Barasic in the lead up to the pen  a very soft penalty award and two stonewaller penalties not awarded).

 

However, still think Dio was very lucky not to receive a red card.

Survival was a major achievement.

 

The team survived going behind, the pitch, inappropriate footwear, inexplicable refereeing and, five substitutions.

 

The support survived, just. The seventh minute of time added on saw us concede three successive corner kicks.

 

The Cortes injury is a real worry. He fell over clutching the back of his thigh and looked extremely stiff as he hobbled off. At the point where the games in all competitions come thick and fast, the potential loss of Cortes compounds Cantwell's hammy injury. Both these players provide necessary movement, their constant runs create exploitative angles.

 

We have survived tonight but long term survival will continue to be a concern.

This incessant moaning about refs is very yahooesque.  Theirs was a stick on penalty.  

 

Good victory at a difficult venue.  

And by their constant "moaning" they receive favourable decisions from officials.

 

When was the last time THEY conceded a penalty (stick on, or otherwise)?

 

When was the last time we were awarded a penalty at Parkhead?

 

When was the last time they received a red card in league and / or v us at Parkhead?

 

Compare their domestic refereeing awards against their European ones and convince us that its just a coincidence 😉
