Now Is The Time To Call Out The Referees

Our own manager won't call out referees. He was asked in his press conference about the handball,Morelos goal,and he said it would be clutching at straws. Somehow i cant quite see Lennon or McInnes going down that route. If the laws are applied the first goal is ruled out,Morelos goal stands and Dicker is sent off. But this is clutching at straws.

I don't see any of them as captain material, even Ryan Jack is too reserved.

I agree. RJ is great player who wears the badge with pride but he is not vocal enough.  We don't have a captain and that is the crux of our problem.

RJ had a pop at McGregor in training towards the end of last season which almost came to blows and was strongly warned by Gerrard that he doesn’t challenge senior players. So unsurprising that he hasn’t been too vocal.

I did not know that but good for him if he did imo.

To have so many of the squad all of a sudden lose form after a mid season break, tells me that

A) There has been a major fall out in the dressing room.

B) They have been over trained in the heat of Dubai.

I am opting for B.

Im going for C

Gerrard has no plan B and everycunt in scottish football knows how to play us,

More chance it being A if it even is that. This team are pampered like no other if performances are anything to go by.

Dubai was one week from a break of three weeks. 

What we are witnessing is not tiredness, but lack of passion and commitment and downright shitebaggery from a few.

As I've said, don't expect those with the hearts of mice to become lions every time they cross that white lne. 

They have simply reverted to type, lacking the ability and mentaility to sustain a challenge and have simply wilted as we see through our own eyes.

No got a great player in the team that's why we can't break ordinary defences down

It's excuses everywhere from large sections of our support. The nonsense I've heard like win every game, they'll drop points, refs against us, SFA against us, pitch dimensions bla bla bla.

We say about them, "always cheated never defeated" that is now relevant to our team for a lot of the support and it's nonsense . We have dropped points in all these games because the players lack the mental attitude to be winners. Crying in a cup final defeat etc shows real weakness and imo rips right through the squad.

 

Even last night listening to Tav talking about the game, head down and took about 5-10 seconds to answer the first question feeling down and very sorry for himself. He's the leader and that kind of attitude spreads throughout the team.......a result like that should make you angry as a player not head down like a coward feeling sorry for yourself .

That's the reason we are not winning silverware, mental toughness and there is absolutely no hope this season of us lifting anything . Their attitude has ripped and spread through the squad like a disease imo, especially after last night .

 

Sadly you make very valid points. We are quickly descending into being victims.

We have no need for any more words from Gerrard. We need fucking action from him and he can start with removing his chosen few who are at the heart of many our problems. Until that happens, we will bear witness to more of the same shite and worse, because, better players are not getting their chance and witnessing that shitebaggery and disgraceful displays week in week out and that leads to resentment and the dressing room is lost, if it already isn't.

You keep going on about Gerrard's chosen few. Would you like to tell me who on our current squad is better than Goldson, Tavernier or Kent?

Wrong question.

Plus Kent is a winner. His talent is just not getting harnessed and used correctly in the Gerrard system.

What should’ve happened after the league had been won, was then to roll out videos of all the shite decisions, dodgy calls etc.

Sit there and embarrass every fuckin one who cheated.

And if we had the Title in the bag they couldn’t moan about sour grapes, some mythical proddy witch-hunt. 
 

But now this will come from 2nd place ( if we hang on ) and they can just say “ look they can nae hack it,  any old excuse “

Some of the tackling we’ve been subjected would’ve looked the part in the Super Bowl, but they dont give a fuck.

Win by any means possible.

Read this (online) and think it's the first half decent bit of actual journalism from them in a while.

No getting away from us being rank last night - but this seems to be an even and honest review to me?

https://www.BOYCOTT THIS LINK/sport/football/football-news/john-beatons-kilmarnock-vs-Rangers-21488742

Verdict - Beaton's a walloper.

McGregor gave him verbal at the end and got booked. No doubt if he'd done his job right in the first place, then that wouldn't have happened either.

 

 

John Beaton's Kilmarnock vs Rangers decisions verdict as referee's tough calls analysed

The whistler faced a series of pivotal calls during the Rugby Park side's dramatic 2-1 win.

Kilmarnock's dramatic Wednesday night victory over Rangers was littered with talking points

The Ibrox side blew a 1-0 lead at Rugby Park leave their Premiership title challenge hanging by a thread.

celtic now sit 10 points clear of Steven Gerrard's side at the Premiership summit and clawing back that advantage is a tall, tall order.

Fans on both sides felt aggrieved by certain decisions and there were, without doubt, some massive calls made by referee John Beaton.

So, with the benefit of perfect 20-20 hindsight and access to slow-motion replays which the official does not, we've looked back over big moments.

Gary Dicker penalty claim

Already on a yellow card, Dicker hits the deck from a Kilmarnock corner and issues half-hearted appeals for a penalty. The ball is flashed to the front post and the midfielder steps across Morelos who makes no attempt to challenge him.

The arms go up and Dicker goes down but there's nothing given from the ref. There doesn't appear to be any contact from Morelos and the Irishman is already on his way down as the ball comes across.

He also appears to clutch his face as he falls despite there being no contact - the IFAB rules state a player should be booked for any attempt to "deceive the referee".

Beaton is right not to award a penalty but the Killie captain gets lucky, having already been carded for a challenge on Ianis Hagi.

Verdict: Wrong decision - second yellow card and Dicker sent off.

Alfredo Morelos first penalty claim

Absolutely no doubt over this one. Morelos does well initially to drive into the area, jinking in between Rory McKenzie and Niko Hamalainen but he's looking to go down almost as soon as he steps foot in the area.

There's very slight contact from Hamalainen but nowhere near enough to bring him down and the unnatural fall is a dead giveaway. As blatant a dive as you'll see and Beaton almost immediately flashes a yellow card.

Verdict: Correct decision

McKenzie handball claim

Rangers should deal with this long before the ball ends up in the net but they certainly do have a case here. Ianis Hagi fails to cut out a square pass and Hamalainen's resulting cross is kept alive at the back post.

Chris Burke is allowed to cross and the ball drops towards McKenzie at the back post. The midfielder throws his arm in the air, a clear unnatural position and the ball brushes off it and back to Hamalainen.

The left-back's scuffed shot falls into the path of Stephen O'Donnell who strokes it home cooly.

Verdict: Wrong decision - goal ruled out and a free-kick to Rangers.

McKenzie foul on Tavernier

This one caused particular consternation among Rangers fans as McKenzie grappled with James Tavernier as he sought to break forward. There was similar ire among supporters for a near-identical incident during which Morelos was hauled back by Lewis Stevenson in Rangers' win over Hibs.

McKenzie darts across to put pressure on Tavernier but, perhaps realising the full-back is getting away, wraps both arms around his opponent to hold him back. Beaton, obviously, blows for a foul but kept his card in his pocket.

This one was the very definition of a professional foul and one you see at levels of the game, especially in pressure moments. But the Killie man really should've picked up a booking.

Verdict: Wrong decision - yellow card for McKenzie.

Morelos 2nd penalty claim

Already on a yellow for his previous dive, Morelos goes down in the Killie box again as Rangers search for a winner following O'Donnell's leveller.

The ball is fed into the frontman and he looks to turn Dario del Fabro and get a shot off. The defender puts his hands on Morelos, undoubtedly, but not enough to merit the Rangers player falling the way he does.

It's one which looks markedly different in real-time than when viewed in slow motion but there's very little contact and, although there is a slight push it's not quite enough to constitute a foul nor be considered a blatant dive.

Verdict: Correct decision

Morelos disallowed goal

Morelos was convinced he'd snatched a Rangers winner as he headed in Andy Halliday's cross at the backpost. But Beaton instantly blew for a foul, much to the chagrin of the South American. Morelos was adamant the goal should've stood but replays show two hands on the back of Stuart Findlay.

Now, this is a split decision - the kind you're screaming to have awarded for your team but also one which leaves you tearing your hair out when the shoe is on the other foot.

The IFAB rules state a foul should be awarded when a player impedes his opponent with contact. In this instance, Morelos pressing on Findlay's back prevents the defender from jumping fully to challenge for the ball. There are ways to contest these situations without giving away a foul but the two hands on his opponent are Morelos' undoing.

It's marginal, and Morelos will disagree, but Beaton was right to blow for a foul.

Verdict: Correct decision

That went against the grain in opening that,trying to placate both sets of fans imo. Morelos they say fouled  the Killie defender,when it's obvious the defender dived when he missed the header. There was no push from Morelos,his hands were up because he was being sandwiched.

They fucked a pretty good article with their last verdict.

Every fucking  one of those wrong calls last night go in Killie's favour and against us. For the three biggest, one would have left them with 10 men for most of the match, one gifted them their equalizer, and one that ruled out what would have been our winner.

Clear bias or cheating there's fuck all else that can explain it.

For all the refereeing bias and incompetence it is becoming boring.

It is clear neither Gerrard nor the board are interested. We're now howling at the moon and sounding like them.

Better we take what little dignity we have left and move on.

Started to think the same they don’t give a fuck so why should we , but we care much more and it’s practically impossible not to give a fuck about what’s going on

Head's bursting with it tbh.

It is a problem, but it shoudn't deflect from the problems we have with the team that need sorted and quickly.
