Feel free to get involved in the debate I just find it particularly funny. I'd imagine 99% of posters here that think Rangers get more favourable decisions than their own team feel the same way about your team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Kirk Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Is there any online resource that you can check past refereeing appointments ? To the untrained observer it seems to me that Rangers always have either Walsh or Beaton either as ref or as VAR every week. I’m sure that isn’t correct it’s just a perception but I wouldn’t mind having a look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about Celtic M8,the interesting thing is The tarts will be raging for the semi final (sending off in coming)plus pulling of Gersey's in the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 7 hours ago, GroundHoppingBear said: Was that the “foul” where the player waited for a push that never came, went down and grabbed the ball? It was right infront of me and it was a clear attempt at conning the ref. Dearie fucking me. There were about 3 or 4 of these yesterday btw, all by Rangers players, all unpunished 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Kirk Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I wasn’t sure where to post this but it seems relevant to the discussion around Rangers, the lack of penalties given against them and the wider perception of them being given favourable treatment by the powers that be. Below is a list of Rangers domestic cup matches covering the last 10 years. It doesn’t include neutral ground semi finals or finals. Make of it what you will. 2013/14 SC Forfar away LC Airdrie home LC Falkirk away LC Dunfermline home LC Albion Rovers home 2014/15 SC Dumbarton away SC Kilmarnock home SC Raith Rovers home LC Queens Park away LC ICT home LC Falkirk away LC St Johnstone home 2015/16 SC Cowdenbeath home SC Kilmarnock home SC Dundee home LC Peterhead home LC Airdrie away LC St Johnstone home 2016/2017 SC Motherwell home SC Morton home SC Hamilton home LC Peterhead home LC QOTS home 2017/2018 SC Fraserburgh away SC Ayr Utd away SC Falkirk home LC Dunfermline home LC Partick away 2018/19 SC Cowdenbeath away SC Kilmarnock away SC Aberdeen away LC Kilmarnock away LC Ayr Utd home 2019/2020 SC Stranraer home SC Hamilton away SC Hearts away LC East Fife away LC Livingston away 2020/21 SC Cove Rangers home SC Celtic home SC St Johnstone home LC Falkirk away LC St Mirren away 2021/22 SC Stirling Albion home SC Annan away SC Dundee away LC Dunfermline home LC Livingston home 2022/23 SC St Johnstone away SC Partick home SC Raith home LC QOTS home LC Dundee home So basically in 10 years across 53 cup ties they have had 3 matches against the 5 city clubs ( didn’t include Dundee despite being a city club as they have been a yo-yo club for the past decade) For context in the same time frame Motherwell have had 12 matches against the big 5 , Hibs also on 12 with Celtic on 11 . Motherwell and Hibs have generated these stats having played less ties than Rangers. I know it’s the luck of the draw and all that but statistically surely they should have had a more difficult series of ties than this - or am I missing something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 12 hours ago, AJF said: The reality here is I’ve not seen anyone successfully argue that either of yesterday’s penalties were not penalties. And correct refereeing decisions have led to this. I haven't seen the highlights yet, and you may be correct that both were penalties. The point is that these fouls would not, and have not, been given in the Rangers box over the past few seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molotov Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Just like in England no refs should be involved in any games regarding teams they “support” or matches involving their rivals. That would likely mean we would end up with foreign refs. Bring it on! Keith Hackett - the former head of Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the organisation that makes refereeing appointments for Premier League games – has said: "At the beginning of every season the referees' background information is audited. "They complete a form that includes who they support, the history of if they've played the game and with the addresses where they are residing. "That gives you a picture that comes into use when you're appointing. It's about ensuring, for example, you wouldn't appoint a Sheffield-based ref for a Sheffield team." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He poses for pictures with Rangers fans in a Rangers pub ffs. It really is pathetic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
