Drew Brees Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 They want an apology. Quote “A Rangers spokesperson said: “Firstly, Rangers condemns in the strongest terms any abuse of match officials. We are all passionate about our game, but targeted, personal abuse of referees cannot be tolerated. “The club can confirm the Scottish FA has responded with regards to the disallowed Alfredo Morelos goal, with the response claiming the correct decision was taken. The club is astonished by this, especially given most observers, including former referees and former players, could see no issue with the goal standing. “This comes following a weekend in England where PGMOL have offered an apology to Brighton and Hove Albion for the non-award of a penalty in their match with Tottenham Hotspur, alongside a pledge to review the incident. “While an apology does not alter the outcome of a match, such responsibility and openness would be welcome in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you class as 'English jobbers'? The players you have mentioned are all internationalist M8 plus only one is English. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t a clear and obvious error hence why VAR didn’t overturn in the exact same way it didn’t overturn Livis equaliser on Matchday 1 when Rangers and Goldson got “lucky” when Clancy was also officiating. We too had a similar goal ruled out by Clancy against Motherwell so obviously this is something he seems to penalise regularly and consistently.

AJF Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 The overwhelming consensus is it wasn't a foul. The fact we have Celtic fans referring to previous decisions made by Clancy they likely disagreed with tells you they don't think it was a foul either. That being said, I don't think the club should've written to the SFA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a foul, both were fouling but the ref saw Morelos push as enough to penalise him and give the free kick to Celtic, sometimes it goes for you sometimes it doesn’t.

If that is your opinion then the reverse also has to be true in that you believe Livis equaliser should have stood and this is now a situation where a decision has balanced itself out? I mean it has to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squonk Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Rangers* writing to the SFA seeking clarification has little to do with the Morelos incident per se and everything to do with the board trying to flex its muscles and pander to its mewling, entitled fans. Can you imagine if every club wrote to the governing body each time they felt a borderline decision went against them? They truly are a parody of the original club, which itself must be turning in its grave. As for their hilarious request for transparency, how about full transparency of the secretive five way agreement that saw the powers that be pretend that a cheating club had survived liquidation and that there was no appetite for raking over old coals concerning restitution and punishment for that decade-long industrial scale cheating? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJF Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 2 minutes ago, Drew Brees said: You don’t see a push in this?? I don't see anything that warrants a foul. Johnstone's movement is more to do with the fact he tried and failed to header the ball than any perceived foul for pushing. Using the full clip would show that's why Johnstone throws himself forward (to try and header the ball) and not because of a push. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mention their ability, I think they are all good players that have excelled in the SPFL. Knowledge of the English market would get you these types of players and you have used this market probably more than any other. I asked your definition of an English jobber, you avoided answering that and instead pointed out they were international players which implied I thought these guys were not good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope Martindale didn’t even mention it, accepted it as part of the game by looks of it. It doesn’t even feature in many of the match reports as an incident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the foul given against Nouble for wrapping his arms around Tavernier, preventing him from challenging for the ball (the ref actually points at them afterwards rather than the player perceived to have fouled Goldson as he has run past the ref at that point)? If it is given for a foul against Goldson then it's not a foul in my opinion. If it is given against Nouble, then it is a foul in my opinion.

You got away with one there but we all do now and then 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
