The Sammon handball

[Ferris Bueller 1,569]

This isn't getting much publicity, if this had happened to a certain other mob we would never hear the end of it but with us it just seems to be accepted and carry on.

The apathy surrounding us at the moment is unbelievable!

[plumbGER 24,518]

Apparantely it's tarrier like to claim any wrong-doing.

The bheggars are past masters at it, they get a helluva lot going their way these days while we get shat on.

Best not complain though.

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,137]

It was a stonewaller but we are not them.

[Billy1984 6,314]

Was at the other end and haven't saw it again but going by players reaction it must have been a clear case for a penalty? 

[Big Al 55 9,248]

Killie had excellent penalty shout too, dont see that receiving much publicity either. 

These things are far more important when you're playing pish.

Even Walker on sky said a good few times it was a penalty.

While he refused to say the first handball was a penalty when Crocker said it was.

Must have been pretty blatant if that slime ball was agreeing in our favour.

It was a stone wall penalty, you could hear the hurt in his voice when he had to agree it was a penalty.

It was mate.

The earlier one was debateable and Crocker thought it was but Walker just snubbed him when he said it.

[Debian 42]

It was definitely a pen.

[Brian Fantana 28,894]

regardless, we shouldn't be needing penalties to beat Kilmarnock.

Yeah agree, but point is we just accept this while others have made a meal of this type of thing for years and now pretty much run the game.

I'm the same mate. Opposite end of the ground, but , as you say , practically our whole team & bench all seemed pretty adamant it was a stick on. 

[Bears 792]

While we should be beating the likes of Kilmarnock without penalties, too regularly refereeing decisions are going against us which is costing us points because we are not good enough at the moment

But referees know that they can get away with not giving us decisions that they'd never dare be so relaxed about it with the green and grey hordes.

So until we do start saying something about it, we will be playing to a different set of rules than everyone else.

While we understandably don't want to become a bunch of biased whiners like that bunch stropping every time they think they're hard done by, we can still question why we are not getting decisions in a civilised manner.

And that has to include us fans, our few friendlies in the media, the manger and players, and the board speaking up about it.

[Bearsden bear 2,376]

Clear penalty but we should be able to deal with Killie on their big green carpet in any case.

Main worry for me was the wastage of set piece opportunities.

Was with my brother and we both said it must have been a fair shout going by our players reactions. Ref never looked interested.

[Cooperson 812]

At  least four or five Rangers players shouted for it ,

Even that mongo walker admitted it was a penalty

When and involving who?

[KingKirk 25,633]

Walker even said when one of the killie players was shown a yellow card that the ref looked at his book before giving him it hahahaha canny have teams going down to 10 it seems.

I don't remember that tbh 

[Big Al 55 9,248]

The challenge on Boyd by Wilson, he quite clearly caught him. Seen given for far far less. Was shocked it wasn't given.

Refereeing decisions are scrutined more heavily if:

1. It influences an important game, cup final, semi -final or close fought league campaign.

2. The team is pish and every decision from the ref carries more significance as the team arent capable of rendering the ref irrelevant.

[Thermopylae 15,286]

Even walker said it was a pen 

[Bruno's Manbun 2,631]

Referee had a howler. Should have been a pen. Never got it.

[Bluenose1986 703]

Sorry but I'm fucking sick of neither the club nor the fans questioning every shit call against us. 

Referees might be shite in most cases but fuck me it's beginning to look blatant. 

[Rambo1872 4,065]

Did killie not have 4 handballs that we were not given?
