Do Rangers get a "free pass" from referees?

Now we know that the imminent arrival of 55 isn't just causing Celtic fans around the country a lot of pain. For some weird reason it's got St Mirren fans worked up too.

I’m not sure how old you are, or how long you’ve been following Rangers, but I’m surprised that you’re not yet aware that everyone in Scottish football with no connection to Celtic are anti-Celtic and with no connection with Rangers are anti-Rangers. I’m sure that you would love your club to be universally loved, but...wait a minute...you don’t care. Apparently.

Pointing out the most carded player in scottish football history and who has come back from a ban? Doesn’t exactly scream bias does it. 

It's a fairly relevant example given that literally two days ago Brown got away with a potential red card offence before going on to score the opening goal of the game. Particularly given that in the same game Celtic got an extremely soft penalty and a clearly offside goal.

Again, Using these words highlighted isn’t exactly screaming bias. Dermot Gallagher also said he didn't think it was a red. We were also denied a more obvious penalty.

People who believe in refereeing conspiracies are... let's be charitable and call them daft.

People who don't are dafter.

there's no point in only bringing this up when there's a decision that you don't like.

Brown's stamp on O'Halloran earlier in the season should have been a red.

I think the issue is mainly a by-product of the added coverage and scrutiny that Rangers (and Celtic) receive from the press and broadcasters.

It's fucking sky's fault for recording Morelos stamping on folk and Brown swinging elbows.

They get as much of a free pass as Celtic do, that is to say that referees officiate their games in the knowledge that making a game-changing decision against either of those clubs which turns out to be wrong will see them subjected to intense media scrutiny and probable abuse/threats. If they f**k up and cost Accies a game, well, who cares apart from a few hundred fans?

We dropped 2 valuable points against Hibs this season thanks to an offside goal.

I'm sure it was Steven Gerrard who told the world Rangers had been getting bad decisions 'for years' after his first game in charge of Rangers.

So did we. Get fucking over it. A bad offside decision isn't going to potentially finish a player's career.

[The Marly]

Correct.

Complete lack of understanding the post from you there,  ffs.

[DukDukGoose]

It's no real coincidence that the OF fans band together when they are both accused of getting favourable decisions.

Both happy to scream murder when they think the other one is given an advantage though.

Wasn't that the game where we failed to get to 3 points thanks to the sheep getting a dodgy free kick?

No.

It was the game where you failed to get 3 points due to your strikers indiscipline.
