Todd_is_God Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 6 hours ago, Lurkst said: I believe it would be an indirect free kick for handling a passback, no card though. The only time a keeper can be booked or sent off for handling in his own box is if it's an illegal second touch following a goal kick or free kick. This was my understanding also. The Laws were updated fairly recently as well to include allowing the GK to be sanctioned for illegal second touches using the hands or arms as they were previously excluded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieKTID Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Really enjoyed the Dutch commentary last night - he mentioned Rangers having the worst champions League record last season and then he mentioned Killie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzler Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 not buying into the "prefer to be in the europa league cos dont want to get pumped 6 times" line surely you want to be playing against the best of the best at every opportunity? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think so. They're going to get a good few pumpings in the EL anyway, and receive 20M or so less for the privilege. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, like I mentioned earlier in the thread, while the Europa League offers more potential in terms of progression and (hopefully) lessens the chance of pumpings akin to last season, there’s no dressing up the fact that the failure to qualify just increases the financial gap between ourselves and Celtic, making it even harder for us to compete domestically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 10 hours ago, ekok said: Something fundamentally wrong at Rangers, signing absolute duds like Sima, Matondo, etc They are so far short of an SPFL standard, never mind Rangers, embarrassing. Beale has had his shot, failed miserably, get Derek Mcinnes in now. Won't win us any trebles, but will reset the Rangers way. SPLF standard? What does that mean? That covers 42 teams, from Celtic to Bonnyrigg, Aberdeen to Stranraer etc. What do you think 'SPFL' stands for? 8 hours ago, Portmahomack Saint said: I still think they'll run Celtic close, SPL is a different ball game, these guys are not eligible for European games and will be back in for the title push No one will be winning the SPL in Scotland this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This line seems to have sprung up after a post by Bairnardo and the bandwagon got jumped. The club would prefer the CL for obvious reasons. The fans would love to see us competing in the CL against the big names. Dropping down to the Europa isn't the worst thing in the world, we've proven that we can regularly compete in there after Christmas. As my old mate Monkey Tennis pointed out playing in the EL gives us the best chance of adding to the coefficient, which explains his happiness. I would say that we're accepting the EL rather than preferring it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partick have opted for the Championship for years (with the odd SPFL1 season thrown in) -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 No complaints about the result. Well beaten. The parachute into the EL is a bit of consolation, but the way we collapsed was disappointing. Need to get back on the rails for the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eta: reflection of an 'only in it for the trophies' OF mentality. That said, to play Devil's Advocate, this appears over in the Dons thread: Quote Looking at the projected pots I'd rather see Aberdeen in the Conference. The Europa looks like 6 heavy defeats.

pozbaird Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 11 hours ago, Grangemouth Bairn said: They really are. Hopefully teams have a bit more self belief and don’t just sit in against them. Killie have shown what can be done with the right game plan. Guys like Sima, Dessers, Danilo, Lammers, Sterling, Dowell, Matondo and Souttar don’t look any better than what the other clubs have at their disposal. Sima, Dessers, Danilo, Lammers, Sterling, Dowell, Matondo & Soutar can always be carried through league games by The Rangers one genuine star and ace in the deck - VAR Penalty Tavernier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
