Popular Post Lloyd 10,756 Posted August 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2018 Rangers boss Steven Gerrard sensationally claims Scotland’s referees have had it in for Gers for YEARS STEVEN GERRARD has sensationally claimed Scotland’s referees have had it in for Rangers for years. The Gers boss was furious with decisions whistler Kevin Clancy made in his side’s 1-1 draw with Aberdeen. Willie Vass Alfredo Morelos is sent off by ref Kevin Clancy Willie Vass Gerrard reckons Scottish refs have had it in for Rangers Gerrard felt an early red card for Alfredo Morelos was harsh. And he was left staggered that Dons defender Dom Ball escaped a sending off after conceding a penalty. Asked about a siege mentality within his dressing room, Gerrard said: “We need to try and use it to our advantage, but it’s not just today, it’s been happening for a while. “It’s been happening for a good while. “I believe it’s been happening for SEASONS. “That’s my opinion, just my opinion. “I don’t think we ever get anything to go for us. “Everything we have seen today is about Rangers “So someone should give me answers on that. Someone should give me the answers because if there’s anyone in his room thinks nothing should have happened after that penalty… “It is what it is. Willie Vass Josh Windass indicates he was pulled back for penalty “I can’t control if the issue is going to be ongoing. All I can do is give my opinion on it.” Gerrard insists the red card for Morelos was too severe after clashing with Scott McKenna. But he was more furious Dons defender Dom Ball wasn’t sent off for conceding a penalty. Gerrard said: “With the sending off I think when you do stuff like that, when you react like that, you leave officials with decisions to make. “So we will speak to Alfredo about the part he has played in it. “But we feel hard done by because we felt he was provoked twice with violent barges. “No way in the world was his kick-out violent so we didn’t think he deserved a red. “At the same time, with the penalty there was no attempt to play the ball. So it’s beyond me how a card can’t be shown for that situation. “It seems like the world is against us today. PA:Press Association James Tavernier celebrates scoring from the spot “But we’ll make sure we get better for that. We’ll make sure we play better and try and put results to bed, because it looks like some more decisions will go against us as the season goes on.” Asked if he felt Morelos has been targeted, Gerrard added: “Possibly. So he needs to learn and be ready for that. “I can’t prove that’s the case but two violent barges by McKenna, it seems people are out to wind him up, yeah. “What’s disappointing from our point of view is that the whole incident was two or three seconds but the assistant only saw one second of it. “So he sees Alfredo’s instant in one second but not the two barges in the other two seconds. “With the penalty incident there was no attempt to play the ball. That’s the rules, it doesn’t matter what my opinion on it is. “The rules state that if you don’t make an attempt to play the ball, you should be punished. And there was no punishment. “I had a chat with the referee about it. The assistant said he only saw one second out of the three with the Alfredo incident, which I find hard to believe. Gerard was gutted to lose a stoppage time equaliser but was delighted with the way his side played. “I’m disappointment for my players but I don’t go away from here sad. “I actually loved what I saw. “I think people are now starting to understand when I say Rangers are different now. “We are a different team and the players are proving it. “I go away reasonably pleased, but gutted for my players we never got over the line. It would have been a huge three points.” Copland bear, Bobby Hume, To Be A Ranger and 51 others 54 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Siam69 26,861 Posted August 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2018 Yep, this team is definitely night and day from any in the past 5/6 years, so far. And yea, Morelos was targeted last year, it'll be even moreso now. He was stupid, you can't kick players, provocation or not, or you run the risk of a Red. Ball should have been off, certainly. Start as you mean to go on Stevie, call them out when they deserve to be called out. With the interest in you up here, other high profile people will listen and take a look, comment.

Keeping quiet about these ridiculous decisions going against us has gotten us absolutely nowhere and a change of mentality is needed. Hopefully this will spark a change. delparlane, BridgeIsBlue, Jamie0202 and 6 others 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanjo 26,327 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 What’s sensational about it? It’s only truth. Could list a whole los of decisions here from last season alone. Clancy today very close to Beaton last season and i would be surprised if he isn’t demoted for next week. Embarrassing stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
