dummiesoot 16,005 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 We have had two sending off this season where the referee, nor linesmen have not seen anything but sent our player off regardless. Alfredo at Aberdeen and Daniel at St mirren. Sent off on the balance of probability, never heard or seen that before, anywhere. gmcf and scottyscott1963 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand you point of view but don't you find it strange that we have been cited by the SFA and others haven't when some of their comments were as critical as ours or in some cases more critical especially Levein.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I don’t know about biased refs or some rule on not letting us win no matter what, but what I can see is that the refs are egotistical maniacs. Have you seen the way they go about their business? Compare that to refs at rugby and you can see why the rugby refs and players get along on the pitch far far better than in football. the majority of games on a weekly basis end up about the refs performance when it should be the players were talking about. Penalties outside the box is a complete baffled to me. The linesman is meant to be inline with the last attacker/defender so how they can’t see is beyond madness. It’s a big white line on a grass pitch, but hard to miss. We can’t have semi pro officials reffing a professional game ger4life_1872, dougie76 and plumbGER 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where it really smacks of "agenda" for many of us. I think the booking of Candais was stupidly incompetent - a bit like the SFA charges against the club - but for me there is a huge leap between that and ‘an agenda’.

Of course I do - but I just don’t make the leap from stupidity / incompetence to ‘agenda’ or ‘bias’ - one of the issues is no one is ‘transparent’ in these decisions and that leads to this type of griping - the SFA needs to learn how to be transparent in its decision making - that is an institutional failure but not one of anti Rangers positioning Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EPL has some of the best refs in the world and every week MOTD spends half the program discussing refereeing decisions. Even VAR at the World Cup ( which helped) Had many decisions where panels discussed whether the referees VAR aided decision was right. i think we just need to accept refs are flawed humans, prone to mistakes, and take the Walter Smith view point of you’ve got to be good enough to win no matter the referees performance. It’s that simple. fuck up fenian bastard Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1872 20,699 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Apparently the referees advisor blanked Gerrard after the game. From the sounds of what happened these cunts can’t hide their contempt they have for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMax399 3,698 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I'm sure that the head of refereeing (or whatever his official title is) will be on the phone tomorrow to the club, to offer his sincere apologies for the inept performance of his lineman today......

I already question the SFA decision making - they are an absolutely incompetent organisation but there is no bias ( which is my point) - no bias - no agenda against us - just poor refereeing standards and poor governance.

Not really - it’s what happens on here pretty often - folk don’t like their arguments debunked and when they realise that they resort to some sort of personal abuse as if that gives their argument more weight and mines less.

Ivybank 4,580 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It's the sending off of our players that's been a disgrace, the Morelos offside goal at hearts and the red card for the sheep player at ibrox which wasn't , shows you the refs are just hopeless, if we were good enough we wouldn't need to worry about refs ,but we are shite ForeverAndEver 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
