The 1-1 draw we had there in 2021 nearly turned away from us when the referee didn't give us either of two clear fouls in Rangers' half before giving them a free-kick seconds later when Hagi kicked the ground. It put us under pressure and Rangers scored within two minutes, swinging the momentum of the game when we'd been doing well. Justice prevailed with our late goal, but it's a classic example of the wee fouls that are usually called fairly that are very easy for the referee to give to the OF in Glasgow. Today was the same thing. Clear free-kick to Hearts. Away at Killie we get that foul and see the game out. In Glasgow we don't get that foul. Referees need to be a bit braver. I mind exactly the game you're talking about. Even today, the first penalty only comes as well because we are into added time of the added time due to a ridiculous 40 second VAR check that anyone with eyes could see wasn't a handball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a cynical part of the game that doesn't get punished enough. It does happen at just about every corner though so understandably giving one at the end of a match raises suspicions. At the same time though I would be raging at my own player for doing something like that. Every centre half in the country fouls a forward at about 90% of set pieces. Haring is no more stupid than anyone who does it and gets caught when the music stops, so i don't really sunscribe to slaughtering him for it, you could give that penalty 6 times a game. Not at the other end, obviously 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentGuerin Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I have no doubt Twitter users can look forward to Hearts supporters bombarding the site with still images of every time a Hearts player's jersey is tugged in a penalty box for the next month or so. It's possible for Haring to be both stupid and a bit unlucky. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely thought that we'd bottled it today, still can't believe that we won. How much reverse McNamara duty did Mick "Mick" Beale cream off via an agent for signing those two planks of wood? They look like a fucking scam even on a Free Transfer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refs seem to be forgetting it's only "clear and obvious error", not "every tiny thing". Very frustrating It’s as blatant a penalty as you’ll ever see. Haning is an imbecile and his team mates should be livid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The referee didn't even give it until VAR highlighted it, I'm not sure how not giving it in real time can be seen as 'looking to give it'. As for the 'clear and obvious' thing, a blatant shirt pull in the box is a clear and obvious error. The phrase itself I think is stupid as most errors are obvious once you realise it's an error, so it's pretty meaningless. If VAR is correcting match-changing wrong decisions (or non-decisions) then for me it's doing it's job regardless of how people want to interpret 'clear and obvious'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJF Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 Very unconvincing again but strong mentality to score twice to win it late on. It’s always amusing when the “it’s a foul but it wouldn’t have been given at the other end” argument comes out. Two clear penalties 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a 'strong mentality' if Haring doesn't do something daft for no reason. It's an overhit corner and a 1-0 defeat which sees them booed off the park and called bottling cowards. Sometimes things land in your lap. Rangers were shite today, but they caught a massive break. That's fitba. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Oh, well, until 90 minutes it looked like, for a brief window, top-flight Scottish fitba might stop being the tedious predictable bore that it usually is. Nope. As you were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroundHoppingBear Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 If you don’t want Rangers to get penalties stop committing fouls in the box, it’s not a grand conspiracy it’s the rulesI can’t stress that enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
