We’d be here awhile if I could be bothered going through and refreshing my memory. Two incidents that jump immediately to mind is his WWE like big boot against Eintracht. He had a follow through “scissor” tackle on Kyogo that he was booked for, but an Aberdeen player got sent off for something similar. I’m pretty sure fans of other clubs can wade in with examples of Lundstram thuggery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The elbow on Sprangler last night is a red if a Saints player does it. Well I don’t think it’s worthless if the claim is clubs don’t get these decisions against us when there was a specific example of it happening a mere two weeks ago. That doesn’t mean I don’t think we get more favourable decisions compared to others, but to imply it never happens is wrong, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom line is that opponents of Rangers will get decisions like the recent sending off maybe twice out of ten and penalties none out of ten, Rangers get decisions like sendings off nine of ten and penalties eleven out of ten times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had a few bad tackles like that, there was one in Europe that was utterly ridiculous. I'm sure that he got a two match ban for that 'tackle' against Murray Davidson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to last nights game where the ref initially only gave a booking. Maybe we should have had VAR in sooner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 It boggles the mind how the ref can only initially give a yellow there. Are they doing it intentionally becaue they know VAR can bail them out? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoose Rice Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Lundstram is the dirtiest b*****d in the Scottish game. Oh the irony from they greeting faced zombie fuckers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they doing it intentionally becaue they know VAR can bail them out? Yes, they absolutely crap out all the time now. It was very obvious to everyone it was a red. VAR is meant to clear up obvious errors, not make the decision for them. There was a red at the weekend in EPL (can't mind which game), where the ref was in the absolute perfect view and was maybe 5 yards away and gave a yellow thst the VAR upgraded to red. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
