Blue63 82 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 In all my years of watching football I have never witnessed a more calculated and horrific game plan to injure a fellow professional footballer as was witnessed last night on Nathan Oduwa, the lad was lucky to be able to walk off the pitch at halftime after the tackles from Gibbons etc. The ref was totally out of his depth in recognising this predetermined game plan and didn't even card the ugly buck toothed bastard when it was a straight red. The whole game was a total farce with WWF wrestling moves and deliberate handballs being the order of the day. I hope the SPFL review this game and take retrospective actions, but it's The Rangers, so I very much doubt it...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchinairn true blue 58 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 That tackle was horrendous! and that is the problem with the game in Scotland it is overloaded with talentless thugs. How the referee never sent that moron off beats me it was a deliberate attempt to play the man not the ball not mistimed an assault nothing less.

TheEyesHaveit 563 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 It's games like these when up against these sort of tactics from desperately poor sides that we need a fixer in MF.A crumpled heap expert. Livingston tactics and their management and coaching staff should be held up as an example of what is wrong with Scottish Football. And as a case study for referees to get the know how to see wat's going on in these situations and act accordingly.The management and coaching staff at Livingston should be held to account.

Corky True Legend 2,682 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The Board should make a formal complaint to the police alleging assault. After all, they have been quick enough to charge Rangers players in the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Legend 61,467 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 That forearm to the throat and the ref let it go. Big man even tried to say to the ref going off at halftime and he was having none of it. Howling display from the ref. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy 1,200 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 That ref was so bad I'm off the opinion that if there's any corruption in Scottish football then he epitomises it well. He stood not much more than ten feet away looking straight at the tackle and took no action. He also took no action when their No 10, or 8 gave Oduwa a forearm smash that would be punished in rugby, and didn't look out of place in a wrestling match. I doubt very much whether Livvy or their scum, inbred manager will come under any scrutiny, even after us, Rangers FC complaining about it. Something we rarely do BTW. I do think the police should be brought in if that type of player is to be stopped vying their violence in the Scottish game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BL11 33 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Terrible performance from Dallas last night.As well as teams now compacting against us, it looks like that they will be sent out to intimidate our players by pulling, pushing and hard challenges.Sad state of affairs.

bluedart1952 1,350 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 If that clown Burchill thinks what his team was doing last night was playing football then he needs sacking and never be allowed to manage another club. It looked more like Rugby, Wrestling with a touch of GBH rather than Football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCRobertson 11,778 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 It looked more like Rugby, Wrestling with a touch of GBH rather than Football.You'd be sent aff for challenges like that inn rugby too. A near ankle breaker and a throat shot?No real competitive sport in the world would tolerate that. Except Scottish football tt seems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 1,114 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The ref bottled sending someone off in the first and last minute.Both sendings off were slam dunks.Gibbons and the Livingston RB (already booked) who had blatant hold of a Rangers players leg near the corner flag (last minute). There was always the possibility of extratime so Dallas can't say the game was already finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofCoop 17,291 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I don't know if the video review panel can be used for challenge cup games? If they can, Gibbons should be pulled up, as the ref never carded him, action can still be taken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Just saw the elbow incident. Nasty. That baldy prick was at it all night. Suppose its Oduwas own fault, for disrespecting Scottish football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
