bennett Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 19 minutes ago, AJF said: It is horrible if he has spat at Celtic fans and as mentioned, should deserve an additional ban. However, has he actually spat at them? You can see he is spitting off to the side without question, but don’t the Celtic fans sit above the tunnel at Celtic Park? If you consider the video below, he spits off to the side. The picture of the tunnel below shows he’d need to spit up the way to target a Celtic fan given how close he is to the tunnel. It’s happened right in front of a Celtic official as well and they don’t seem to have made any reaction to it. I’m not denying it if he has, which would be abhorrent, but it does seem reasonable that he could have just spat against the wall. Not seeing anything there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the Bernardo/Goldson challenge you backpedalled on it’s all about the angles. if spitting against the wall why would you look up and do it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lifts his head aye, but that’s because it was already facing down the way. That’s actually a better angle to show the Celtic fans are above head height and the video I posted shows he spits sideways 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, no complaints if he has indeed spat on a Celtic fan, I just think it seems like there is reasonable doubt as to where he is spitting. Add in the fact there seems to be no reaction from any Celtic official. Edited January 1 by AJF -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is he even spitting at all at that moment, when he's had every opportunity to clear his mouth in the long walk beforehand? Or was he seriously incapable of holding it in until he got to the dressing room? Edited January 1 by Barney Rubble 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have spat at them, and as I said before, you expect him to get a ban if he has and can have no complaints about it I just think that video I’d seen that I posted looked as though he spat sideways rather than upwards where the fans would be sitting which would’ve been my only thoughts as to why it hasn’t been plastered in the media. I could be wrong though. It’ll come out in the wash -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gannonball Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Tbh it looks like he has but neither video can really prove his true intent. It hasn't stopped papers in the past running stuff like this though so I am surprised it's not been made more of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think you can conclusively say where he has spat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now since we have established you can actually see and reply to my posts just fine and have just been avoiding answering, tell me do you think Rangers should have had the penalty awarded for the Johnston handball?

Well, aye? Why would the ref need to know if he's not going to be able to give a penalty anyway? Edited January 2 by craigkillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden God Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Loving all the Rangers fans on Twitter saying if it went against Celtic they would be going insane, as if their own fans aren’t treating it like it’s the fucking Watergate Scandal rather than a correct decision in a football game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way for collum to check for offside is if he thought it was a penalty, he didnt And as bobby madden posted, they still need to follow procedure, the ref gets told to check for the penalty, if he awards it then they call the offside and it restarts with a freekick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuboMoravcik Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 It's us that should have had a penalty for the foul on Turnbull, that was wrongly called offside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
