Ace 3,556 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 RANGERS boss Ally McCoist has hit back at Hibernian manager Alan Stubbs' calls for a strong refereeing display in Monday night's Ibrox clash - offering to let the Easter Road coach officiate the game himself.McCoist was angered by comments made by old adversary Stubbs in his weekly press conference on Thursday.The former Celtic defender urged whistler Calum Murray to show a fair hand to both sides in next week's Scottish Championship clash as he questioned a number of decisions which have gone in the Light Blues' favour this season.Hibs first visited Glasgow last month but saw their hopes of a Petrofac Training Cup win fall apart when referee John Beaton sent-off Danny Handling for a late challenge on David Templeton.Rangers eventually clinched a 2-1 win after extra-time and Stubbs believes McCoist's side have carried their luck with refereeing decisions ever since, even highlighting their League Cup third-round 3-1 win over Falkirk this week.The Bairns were trailing by a goal with just a minute to go when they claimed Bilel Mohsni was guilty of a penalty-box handball. Referee Alan Muir - who will be fourth official on Monday - waved the appeal away and Rangers cemented their win with Ian Black's late strike.That led Stubbs to say: "I'm not asking for anything that's any different. I expect refereeing decisions to be consistent."I'm sure Peter Houston would be saying the same thing just now. I've seen the hand ball ... it's a hand ball."The Danny Handling red card in that last game for us at Ibrox was also a turning point. I don't think I'm saying anything untoward there."I thought it was a harsh decision at the time and I still think that."But McCoist responded by saying: "If Stubbsy wants to pick the referee I don't have a problem with that. If he wants to referee the game himself I don't have a problem with that either."[His comments were] interesting. The only thing he failed to mention was that we could have had a corner against Falkirk on Tuesday which the referee failed to spot."Stubbsy has been commenting on other games which is fine, that's up to him. But we're not getting carried away. The referee is as experienced as they come. He's a very good and competent referee. I'm very happy with that."Hearts boss Robbie Neilson has already suggested this season that Rangers are unfairly benefited by referees when he claimed he had sent his side to Ibrox last month prepared to finish the game with 10 men.But McCoist insists his side have received no favours.He said: "Have we had a fair shake from referees this season? Have the opposition? Oh absolutely. I don't think there is any doubt about that. I don't think Stubbsy was suggesting that [wasn't the case] - or I would hope that he wasn't."The referees have got a hard enough job to do and some decisions go for you and some go against you."But we have got a hard enough job without commenting on other games to be honest with you."

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Refereeing is of quite a poor standard but that is applied fairly! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummiesoot 16,005 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Is it a coincidence we are getting this pish now we have two bitter premiership level clubs in opposition. Nielson would do well to remember his team have had three players sent off this season so far. Stubbs is just a dick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Ally should have mentioned some of the woeful offside calls that have not gone in our favour this season such as Daly last week and two or three from Boyd.Stubbs is running scared I presume.

sandyboyblue 226 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Gamesmanship, these comments are meant to pile pressure on the refs. Unfortunately some managers have taken a leaf from SAF by speaking out during their press conference. Good response from Ally though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how all the smaller teams have never mentioned this, in fact it's been quite the opposite, we've been getting kicked fuck out of, and told to just get on with it.

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Dealing with the petty, small-club attitude of the likes of Hibs is among the things that we have missed over the last few years. Amazing that after everything we have been put through their bitterness and hatred seems undimmed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
