ianb1547 3,767 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Granted it might be the rule but the ref can use a bit of common sense. If it had been the goalkeeper with a ripped jersey, would he have insisted he left the park?No, because goalkeepers are exempt from leaving the field. Includes when they get treated for injuries.Its FIFA who have taken away the 'common sense' application much of the time. But I'll repeat........ the officials were shite (and that's from an ex-ref) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 31,195 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 He is correct on one thing, the reffing was shocking yesterday.It was shocking we didn't get a penalty, it was shocking that some of the falkirk players didn't get booked, some of the offsides were shocking.There was no real bias though IMO, they were just bad at their jobs.

soulboy 2,518 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The officials were shocking yesterday BUT Kiernans shirt was ripped and had to be replaced (however the rip happened). A player must leave the pitch to rectify the fault/missing equipment (shirt/shorts/shinpads etc). A player who leaves the pitch can only be let back on when the ball is next out of play (that's why it took so long to get him back on) Cmon guys...ref was shite......but that's the rules for leaving/entering pitch. Players get waved back on by a referee when ball is in play all the time, punishing a team when someones shirt is ripped off their back by making them play with 10 men is ridiculous especially a defender when other team has a corner and they haven't even taken it yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRF-LCC-RFC 54 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 refereeing decisions only helped Falkirk, Falkirk players should have been sent off and had penalties given in the 4th minute given for Rangers. How the hell did one of their players manage to pull Kiernan's shirt so bad that it actually ripped off his back, yet no foul given? If that happened to a Falkirk player i'm sure baldie here would be making interviews on BBC news about it etc. loldry your eyes baldie, yous lost to the greatest team in Scotland get over it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off the pitch and waiting to come back on was brought in to counter players feigning injury.It shouldn't be used in this way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianb1547 3,767 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I agree Oleg...the other week an opposition player lost his shinpad....he had to go off to put it back on (and wait to come back on).....its crazy.....but some refs will do it 'as per' and some wont.Its the old 'consistency' question that riles players and fans alike.

HeHaw 513 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Peter "Don't go to Rangers, Goodwillie" Houston? Guy is a genuine cretin. His players kicked lumps out of our team yesterday and should have had a player sent off and a few extra yellows and we got fucked over for the GK handling the ball outside the box and not getting a clear penalty. Aye the referees were shite but to say its because there is a bias towards us is mind bogglin. Bitter nappy ripping cunt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC Eagle 4,888 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The officials were shocking yesterday BUT Kiernans shirt was ripped and had to be replaced (however the rip happened).A player must leave the pitch to rectify the fault/missing equipment (shirt/shorts/shinpads etc). A player who leaves the pitch can only be let back on when the ball is next out of play (that's why it took so long to get him back on)Cmon guys...ref was shite......but that's the rules for leaving/entering pitch.As a former referee too you have that wrong, there is nothing to say that the player cannot re enter the field until the game stops. The rule is that a player who is sent off the field due to injury, or with blood on them, is not allowed to return until the game has restarted from the original stoppage. Its always been that way. In the same incident he missed a Falkirk player leaving the pitch to get a water bottle from behind the goal as if to compound things.The cheat (I normally baulk at calling referees that) in the middle yesterday had ample opportunity to wave Kiernan back on but chose not to (pettiness was a likely reason, or the colour of Robs shirt). If he doesn't understand the rules (I'm sure he knows them well enough) he should be sent back to junior football or banned from officiating again. None of the 3 were in any way competent and their inability to get the basics correct (I'll assume the assistants were just incompetent) is a damning indictment of the game in Scotland.
