McGregor having the SFA go after him for McGuire kick

[trueblue68 2,497]

Fucking shocking

THE SFA could be set to hammer Allan McGregor - as national boss Craig Levein pleads for him to play through the pain for Scotland.

SunSport can reveal the Rangers star is being carpeted for aiming a kick at Aberdeen striker Chris Maguire - THIRTEEN days ago.

McGregor has been referred to Hampden's disciplinary committee after the incident in the 3-2 win at Pittodrie.

It's understood Gers are furious it has taken a fortnight for SFA bosses to act.

Astonishingly, Gregsy's case will be heard just hours before frantic gaffer Levein begs him to answer the nation's SOS.

Scotland are in the throes of a keeper crisis ahead of tonight's crunch Euro 2012 qualifier against the Czech Republic.

McGregor is struggling with a thigh injury but will be asked to start in Prague because established No1 Craig Gordon is nowhere near match-fit.

Earlier in the day, the SFA beaks will meet at Hampden to decide whether or not to punish the Ibrox keeper.

If found guilty the 28-year-old will be banned for next week's SPL clash with Motherwell.

McGregor is accused of deliberately aiming a kick at Dons star Maguire.

The matter was brought to the attention of new SFA chief Stewart Regan on Tuesday and he referred it to the disciplinary panel - a full TEN DAYS after the alleged flashpoint.

Rangers are raging McGregor could now be punished for what they regard as a 'nothing incident' which was not highlighted at the time.

Ibrox insiders also claim SFA officials have tried to keep the issue quiet.

A Gers source told SunSport: "It seems strange that this case has not been brought to public attention.

"Is that because Scotland badly need Allan to play against the Czech Republic?

"Usually it is known which players are due in front of the disciplinary committee. That's not been the case with Allan."

McGregor's understood to be stunned by the allegations facing him.

Both he and Gers must now sweat on the outcome of today's meeting.

A bit shite.

[1st_Jan_1994 4,868]

To be fair if he got suspended for the Motherwell game as a result of that attempted kick, I couldn't have too many complaints. Infact, not one complaint. He was stupid and needs to cut this stuff out of his game.

However ...

I can think of 2 or 3 Celtic incidents similar this season that hasn't even been mentioned outwith Rangers forums etc.

Parity, please. That's all.

[bombaybadboy08 15,660]

This is a fucking joke right ??

[gunslinger 270]

he was keeping his leg out the way of mcguires oncoming tackle.

nothing more.

[Jamie1807 146]

What the fuck?

[StayWestFree 107]

Surely there is a time limit on something like this?

McGregor was wrong in doing so but the amount of time its took for this to happen is wrong as well.

I'd have been a lot more accepting of this if it was the day after the game but its nearly two weeks ago ffs.

[bombaybadboy08 15,660]

I assume they will also have seen the stamp on McCulloch as well then...

[Clemdog 39,389]

I hope thats a fucking wind-up.

The stamp on McCulloch, Black getting away with a yellow card.

Granted McGregor was an idiot, but come to fuck. Show a bit of balance. Is it better if you make contact nowadays?

[1st_Jan_1994 4,868]

I assume they will also have seen the stamp on McCulloch as well then...

That's what I'm thinking mate. Same game and all ...

[JamieD 19,325]

If Shagger gets done for this and there's no action for the stamp, that's just outrageous.

[mmrfc1873 48]

Well that seem's fair, I mean he may have missed, but it's the fact he tried to do it that counts. Just hope Chris Maguire's ok after it, I'm sure he felt better when he saw McCulloch gettin' his back stamped on or when whittaker took an elbow to the head or maybe when Aberdeen were constantly gettin' away with fouls which could have easily seen red. But, hey, let's not punish the referee for that game either, a referee that is clearly unfit to do his job right or fairly. Yeah, lets just be happy "justice" is being done to this horrible man who attempted to kick another player. Aye, there''s no unfair treatment towards Rangers at all, none at all.

[Clemdog 39,389]

Also Anthony Stokes's challenge at Kilmarnock?

There's just no consistency here, that's what get's at me, I can fully understand why McGregor could be punished, it was stupid.

But in the same game there was an incident were contact was actually made.

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

this is fucking mad,hours before he plays for scotland. I know some people won't agree,but i would tell them to shove there cap right up there arse.

[mmrfc1873 48]

Even the thought of him gettin' punished for an attempted kick make's me sick when you see the tims and sheep get away with 10x more.

[1st_Jan_1994 4,868]

this is fucking mad,hours before he plays for scotland. I know some people won't agree,but i would tell them to shove there cap right up there arse.

As much as I'd love him to do that, McGregor was still in the wrong and probably deserves to be hauled up.

However, the timing fucking stinks. Infact McGregor could be excused for thinking it was something personal when Sheep Shaggers and tims have been getting away with murder this season.

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

What is happening to this ian black cock.?? how many games is he getting banned for,after putting a player out for 3 months or more.?

[andymc10 6]

I bet the SFA will put him out for the Old firm game. An attempted kick shouldn't be punished more than a 1 game ban. Surely they should of done a few days after the game.

[1st_Jan_1994 4,868]

Because the ref booked him at the time, no retrospective punishment can be taken.

He never even got booked for it though,or spoken to by the ref. It was andy walker who brought it to people attentions,thats what makes even more stranger. The game is well gone,so how can they go all the back to 13 days ago,and ban someone.? who didn't even get booked for in the actual game.?

[mmrfc1873 48]

Seems like the agenda against Rangers ins't just with the media.

It's because he never got booked that the SFA can punish him now whatever way they see fit !!

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

I bet they will be begging for him to be scotland no1 though.? And supporting him in this game. this is why i cannot support these fucking idiots.

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

really don't know why you seem to think there right?. there just trying to fuck us up,because they know we have a small squad. just lucky for us Alexander can be trusted in goal.

What do you mean?

The only thing the SFA have to blame themselfs for is the timing and the fact they have ignored other incidents.

For the rest you can blame McGregor. Stupid isn't the word.

As I said at the start, we can't complain because he kicked out.

The double standards and timing piss me off - but that's a different issue.
