We need to get one thing clear. Flanagan is guilty as hell of elbowing Brown. If he get's 2 match ban then he deserves it. What Rangers are making a stance about is that once again a refereeing decision is being called into question and once again it involves a Rangers player after the game has finished. The referee deemed the incident worthy of a yellow card but once again TV cameras are on hand to undermine the match official. This has happened on numerous occasions this season but mainly involving Rangers. Another elbowing incident in the same game by a celtic player on Defoe was scrutinized then brushed aside as there was only the one camera angle. It seems to me that football will soon be played with a referee only making trivial decisions such as throw ins and goal kicks etc and the match will be run by a panel sitting in a TV studio stopping the game every time they feel a wrongdoing has taken place. Finally, Rangers have a disciplinary problem that needs sorting, which they will, but Scottish Football has a bigger problem with a Compliance Officer and three unknown persons ruining our game.
