Gillete 1,338 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Fucking ridiculous decision Clearly won the ball and the stupid rules state you can't even appeal it This could cost him and the club later in the tournament with a suspension I'm sure another booking and that's him suspended Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Football used to be a mans game. Cracking tackle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBF2 3,540 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Tacking is becoming rarer and rarer. Seems like the only way to win the ball now is to intercept a pass, shoulder tackles are ruled out now as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_ni 12 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 daft decision by one of the worst refs in scotland. booked for that yet time and again we see people not even getting the ball clattering the man and getting away with no more than a warning.

Zappa6995 3,684 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Fair or not its an argument / discussion we could have all day.It was a tackle that at that stage of the game and the score as it was Boca didn't really have to make. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westendblue 3 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The arbroath no.7 studs edu in the ankle on the edge of their box, 5 yards from the ref and fuckall happens. Imagine my shock and horror as boca gets booked winning the ball...not! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelgradeBear 27 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Just as stupid as the Edu booking a few weeks ago. Fair play to the Arbroath player as he even said to Boca that it was a fair tackle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1872 3,744 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Simple way around it Next easy draw we get, tell him to pick up a booking so he gets suspended earlier in the tournament rather than later on We have significant cover at the back anyway, Bartley into the middle with Goian and McMillan at RB.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Textbook tackle.The linesman was 5 yards away and wasn't going to give it until the ref blew for it - then the linesman started waving his flag Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Seems its only Rangers players who are being booked for winning the ball these days. Thats the third of fourth case of this in the last few weeks. Surely refs are not trying to clock up our players disciplinary points in the hope they miss important games at the business end of the season? Cant think of why else our players would be booked for nothing. Seem to remember Bougherra also being yellow carded for winning the ball last season, and being sent off. Might have been a second yellow? So its not a new thing, just becoming more obvious the more they do it. It could be put down to poor referreing if it wasnt just Rangers players being punished this way i guess. Unless anyone else can show us other players who get booked for winning the ball? Any Selik players getting booked for it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delamonty 992 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I wonder if there will be an explanation from Murray as to why he thought it was not only a foul, but a yellow card? Doubt it tbh. Best tackle I've seen in some time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delamonty 992 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 this is what sir alex ferguson was calling for in the epl: refs doing post-match interviews.Would be nice, but can't see it happening. I understand that they're human and will make mistakes. But I expect the mistakes to be of the 50/50 nature... not yellow cards for clean tackles.Perhaps not interviews, but they must be made to explain certain decisions? And if they review it and know they have made a mistake, be man enough to admit it. At least they'd get more respect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HG5 11,276 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Also getting booked for making no real contact - Laff at Scumdome last week & Fleck there last year.We really are getting a different deal to the rest!Seen any of Man City game? Kompany's sending off was up there with the decisions against us - clearly won the ball with inside if his foot! Maybe it's a 'blue' thing or perhaps the refs feel the need to give the diddy teams a chance?Seems its only Rangers players who are being booked for winning the ball these days.

Coplandbear11 1,087 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Couldn't believe when that cunt Murray booked him for that. Fantastic and well timed slide tackle from our captain today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdriebluenose 351 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Totally disgraceful / mind boggling decision. Sometimes we moan at refs for getting things like penalty decisions wrong, but this was as clear as day - an outstanding solid tackle.Rangers should ask the ref to give an explanation of his decision, and write a letter of complaint to the sfa because te be honest, it was the worst decision I have ever seen!
