I said about it yesterday,  a minute or so before the yellow brown has the ball , morelos goes towards him and he plays it away ,clancy ignores the ball and stares at morelos for a good 30 seconds despite him being about 5 yards from brown 

I noticed that as well, you could literally see the cogs turning in that cunts head going ‘can I book him for that’ then he nearly gave himself a friction burn when he whipped the card out at the next opportunity.

 Kevin Clancy should never handle another Rangers v celtic match.

 

Yesterday was the worst case of  clear  blatant bias I have seen in this fixture since Callaghan all those years ago and he was handed an 8 week suspension for his 'ineptitude' and did not handle another old firm fixture.

 

Clancy's shameful refereeing ,with glaring inconsistencies  and failure to spot key incidents which undoubtedly  favoured celtic, can be seen in  irrefutable evidence which have been  demonstrated  well on this messageboard and many other platforms online.

 

 

When the facts are clear,the inferences to be drawn are obvious.

 

If it was a few  decisions in their favour you might accept that is is incompetence but his 'performance'  went way beyond that benchmark.

 

Do not expect the media up here to take Clancy  to task  but they will be more than obliging to throw their hands up in faux outrage about other perceived indiscretions.

 

 

 

Forget all the post match deflection and finger wagging at our management team , officials and players from the usual suspects.

 

Rangers were dominant in performance,tactics and commitment.The haters will try to rain on our parade that is to be expected,gnashing of teeth  and the dawning of the realisation that you are being eclipsed by your bitterest rival is extremely painful.

 

After the break we have a 15 game run with 10 of those games at Ibrox.celtic 15 match sequence has 6 home games at Parkhead and 9 away from home

the game finished at 95.49 - so 1 min 49 extra.  Still scandalous and cheating, but also not 3 mins. 

The added time should have been 3 minutes maximum though. 2 subs from each team at 30 secs per sub = 2 minutes. I don't remember any lengthy stoppages during the second half so 1 extra minutes for general stoppages etc would point towards 3 minutes extra time bring more than sufficient. There's no way it should have been 4 and it's an absolute disgrace that it was nearer 5 when Morelos received his second yellow and close to 6 before the final whistle.

Watched the game back today. Morelos first booking was a joke, a shoulder tackle ,never a booking for anyone except Morelos. It was also i believe only his 1st foul in the second half.

There was lots of poor decisions by the ref which he could argue he didn't see but the Bollingoli one where he intentionally pulls back Morelos in a good position is a straightforward yellow card.

That's the rules, no debate. And the officals can't argue they didn't see it.

Even the Rhebel is saying those cunts should have had 3 players sent off...Fucking disgrace. Copied the story to stop them getting the hits.

Scottish football and controversial refereeing decisions. They go hand-in-hand, don't they?

During Rangers' 2-1 win over celtic at Parkhead on Sunday, there were a few calls that caused furious debate among supporters.

Kevin Clancy was the man in the middle and it's fair to say he had plenty of big decisions to make

As a result of perceived mistakes during the match, Rangers have reiterated their desire for VAR to be introduced but the widespread agreement needed for change means such a technological advance still looks some way off.

But what decisions did Clancy get right and what did he get wrong? Record Sport Online dives into the rule book and takes a look.

Decision to award celtic a penalty

The penalty decision in the first half left a few people confused initially, but it became clear in the replay that there was a clear tug of Christopher Jullien's jersey by Nikola Katic.

On this occasion there is no arguing with the decision made by Clancy as it is a clear foul and therefore a penalty. The yellow card was awarded and it was the right move by the man in the middle.

Verdict: Correct decision

The Hand of Od goal

Odsonne Edouard grabbed the equaliser at Parkhead when Callum McGregor's shot deflected off his hand and into the back of the net. In past seasons, there would have been no controversy on this one but a rule change in the summer means Rangers should have been awarded a free kick instead of a celtic goal.

The rule states: "it is an offence if a player ‘scores in the opponents goal directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper."

Despite it being a complete accident and Edouard not really being able to do anything about it, Clancy is obliged to award a free kick if he spotted it. It might be unfair to be hugely critical of him in this instance given the speed of the play, but it was the wrong decision.

Verdict: Wrong decision - free kick Rangers

Should Christie see red?

The initial yellow card for Christie is a clear one as he takes out Alfredo Morelos on a counter attack. By the laws of the game, as stated previously, Christie is guilty of unsporting behaviour and Clancy was correct to get the yellow card out. The second foul - which many feel should have resulted in a red card - is more difficult to get a final decision on.

Christie does appear to grab Morelos in the testicular area but the grab is relatively difficult to spot at full speed and Clancy obviously feels it is just an arm out that stops the Colombian from getting around him.

In that case, you can understand why he has not awarded a second yellow although a look at replays suggests definite contact in a delicate area that could merit a second yellow card, again for unsporting behaviour.

The other option for Clancy would be to show a straight red card for serious foul play. If Christie was deemed to make an attempt to grab Morelos in the testicles then it could be viewed as a tackle or challenge that “endangers the safety of an opponent OR uses excessive force or brutality”.

It’s the latter part of that statement that Christie’s challenge could fall under and a straight red card could be handed out.

Last season, Steven MacLean was handed a two match ban for violent conduct for grabbing celtic midfielder Eboue Kouassi.

The difference in the incidents lies with MacLean's happening while Hearts were taking a corner and was therefore not challenging for the ball.

The law is clear that violent conduct occurs while NOT challenging for the ball, while serious foul play is challenging for the ball.

Verdict: Wrong decision - second yellow card for Christie

Did Clancy wrongly punish Connor Goldson?

Many on social media were baffled when the whistle was blown after the free kick given for Christie's foul on Morelos. It appeared to be against Connor Goldson and the discussion among the commentators on Sky Sports was it was for high foot.

Goldson's foot was on the deck and confusion has reigned, but on further inspection that isn't what the free kick is given for.

Christie dives in to block Goldson's attempted shot but Clancy appears to see a foul by Morelos just before it. TV cameras clearly pick up Clancy pointing at the Colombian before gesturing that it was for a tug of the jersey.

Verdict: Correct decision - foul by Alfredo Morelos

Should Rangers have had a penalty?

During the second half, Christie then pulls Aribo's jersey at a corner kick and nothing is given. Going by the previous decision by Clancy to award a penalty for the foul by Katic on Jullien, it is difficult to understand why this one isn't given.

Verdict: Wrong decision - penalty Rangers

Was it a corner for Rangers at their winning goal?

Immediately following the decision not to award a penalty for Christie's tug of the jersey, Clancy pointed for a corner kick after Katic failed to make a clean connection on Barisic's cross. The belief was it hit a celtic player on the way through and Clancy was in a very good position to see if it does.

On an initial replay it looks like Katic has headed the ball straight out of play with no touch from Goldson or Brown at the back post, but Callum McGregor's attempt at stopping the cross blocks Kristoffer Ajer out of view and it could deflect off the Norwegian defender.

Verdict: Inconclusive video evidence

Should Jullien have been sent off?

One decision which Steven Gerrard was quick to point to after the game was an incident involving Alfredo Morelos and Christopher Jullien. Niko Katic headed a ball through the defence and as Morelos and Jullien chased it down there was a tangle of legs with Clancy deciding to award a free kick to celtic. Gerrard felt that it should have been a awarded to Rangers - with a red card given to Jullien - but it wasn't to be.

However, he may have had a point. Upon on looking at the challenge more closely, Jullien is clearly the player who makes contact with Morelos rather than the other way around. In the initial battle both players are challenging strongly before the striker gets his foot in front and Jullien connects with the back of his leg. That results in both falling to the ground and the free kick being awarded to the home side.

But had Clancy saw the incident more clearly, he would had no choice but to show a straight red card to the French defender. With Morelos through on goal, it was denying a clear goalscoring opportunity which is a red card under the rules as it happened outside of the box.

Verdict: Wrong decision - red card Jullien

Should Bolingoli have been sent off?

The celtic left back earned his first yellow card for a cynical foul on Rangers captain James Tavernier. As the Ibrox right back skipped past him in the middle of the park, Bolingoli put both arms on his shoulders and dragged him down. A yellow card offence all day and Clancy got that right.

It's a similar incident for what many feel should have been a second yellow card for Bolingoli.

The rules of the game state a yellow card should be handed out for unsporting behaviour should a player ‘commit a foul which interferes with or stops a promising attack, except where the referee awards a penalty kick for an offence which was an attempt to play the ball’.

In this instance, Bolingoli places his hands on Alfredo Morelos’ back and drags him down as the Colombian chases into space on the right wing. Perhaps, in this instance, Clancy felt it wasn’t a dangerous attack but given the open space in front of him, a second yellow card should have been handed out to the celtic defender.

Verdict: Wrong decision - red card Bolingoli

Did Clancy get Davis sub wrong?

In the closing moments of the game, Steven Davis was replaced by George Edmundson in a bid to kill time and add an extra bit of height to the Rangers defence. Davis attempted to make his way off by going to the halfway line and Clancy ushered him off at the nearest point. In the summer, IFAB introduced a new rule that substituted players leave the pitch at the nearest exit.

Under the rules, Clancy was technically correct to point Davis to the closest available point to leave the field but there is a get out in the rule that declares that the referee can allow him to leave at the halfway line should there be safety/security or injury issues.

Given the atmosphere at such a huge derby match, it could be argued that Davis should have been allowed to leave at the halfway line instead of being forced to walk around the field of play in front of the home support but under the rules Clancy was within his right to make the decision he did.

Verdict: Correct decision

Was the Morelos red card decision right?

By taking it into isolation then Morelos' first yellow card could be viewed as extremely harsh. It is a shove in the back but it didn't stop an attack and wasn't really wreckless. Clancy, however, was right to show a yellow card based on persistent fouling as it was his fifth of the day. He previously had fouls on Scott Brown, Christopher Jullien (twice) and Ryan Christie.

His second yellow is as clear as day under the rules as he did attempt to deceive the referee by The rulebook declares it a yellow card for unsporting behaviour if a player ‘attempts to deceive the referee, e.g. by feigning injury or pretending to have been fouled (simulation)'.

It was a clear attempt from Morelos to deceive the referee and win a penalty kick and Clancy was correct to show a second yellow card and the subsequent red.

Verdict: Correct decision - red card Morelos

According to a detailed analysis by the rebel all Clancy got wrong was a failure to disallow their goal, a failure to give second yellows to Christie and bolongi, a failure to award a penalty against Christie and a failure to award a foul on Morelos and give Julien a straight red.

Pretty good day for Clancy then , nothing to see here ,move along

Watched the game again today 64th minute broon does the same to the Buff - if not worse - no action taken - no one else in Scottish football would have been sent off for those two incidents

Watched the Pen a few times and the one thing that stands out is the jersey pull doesn’t actually impede him, he gets to point he needs to and jumps the ball wouldn’t have got to him either way but The Cheat couldn’t wait to blow. Unlike Aribo who gets pulled down out of the way from the ball and nothing given.

Of all the terrible decisions that were wrong, the one that irked me the most was 6 minutes of added time. It showed desperate bias in full display resulting in a sending-off.

The fucker knew once he got the easy first booking in , he could send him off whenever he liked........

Of all the OF games I've ever seen, the yellow card on Brown is the softest I've ever seen. Absolute fucking cheats.

IMO he's got this wrong. For those who don't remember this is what happened. It happened around 60:20 in the match if you want to watch it elsewhere in better quality.

sCkIYdL.gif

Morelos at most touches him on the forearm before Christie makes a 2 footed lunge on Goldson. The referee blows the whistle after Christie's lunge and awards him a freekick. 

But to summarise the findings from that article on all of the contentious issues in the match and to show the team benefiting from the decision:

  1. celtic's penalty - Correct decision which benefited celtic.
  2. Handball goal - Incorrect decision - celtic.
  3. Christie red card - Incorrect decision - celtic.
  4. The foul shown above - "Correct decision" - celtic.
  5. Ranger's penalty claim - Incorrect decision - celtic.
  6. Ranger's corner - Inconclusive - Rangers.
  7. Julien red card - Incorrect - celtic.
  8. Bolingoli red card - Incorrect - celtic.
  9. David sub - Correct - celtic.
  10. Morelos red card - Correct - celtic.

It also didn't mention the disgusting McGregor foul on Jack around 90 minutes, which McGregor received a freekick for.
