SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Seems harsh compared to obvious others but as a penalty I dont think its excessive. I'm sure every subsequent punishment will exceed this.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEwan's Lager 30,522 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I assume that’s actually good news for us as it would probably allow us to fine them longer? Lets face it, they wouldn’t have played in those 7 games anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Blues 497 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 The main thing here isn't whether we rate the two players or not, it's about the same punishment/standards for ALL players. They were stupid in the extreme and will possibly not play for us again but to get a 7 game ban when bolli left the country AND played for them and he gets a 3 game ban can't be right. If any of our top players got a 7 game ban we would all be raging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenv 2,125 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 It was a free hit for the SFA as they know we can't be seen to defend the player's actions on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of our top players were to do it and get a 7 game ban it would be fully deserved. These cunts knew exactly what they were doing in our most important season for a decade. Fuck them.

In this case, it hardly warrants discussion anyhow because the SFA penalty means nothing to any Rangers fan. We all want them heavily punished and neither of them would have been anywhere near the first team for a lot longer than seven games. I hate when people claim to speak for me, it smacks of arrogance. Regarding the 2 numpties, the punishment certainly doesn't fit the crime considering what punishments went before it but it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Discuss.

BlueKnight87 17,282 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I've no issues with these idiots being punished. I reckon both are out the club come Janaury. It just needs to be consistent now should any other players do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquire8 42,454 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Punishment clearly doesn't fit the crime. The precedent was set with the sheep and tarriers, the same punishment should've been for them 2 wanks. If it were in any other circumstances then the club should fight it. If the 7 game ban is now the precedent and not 3 then will be interesting the next tarrier prick gets caught breaking protocol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's been plenty warnings, plenty briefings, and plenty time for players to get their heads round what they must / must not do. Theres also the previous examples of player stupidity and resultant punishment for any player needing more clarity. So I actually have no issue with punishments increasing as time passes by, there's now zero scope for excuses, confusion, lack of awareness etc. As long as the next offender gets more than 7 games... if its a beggar thats when we'll see the authorities true colours.

I agree it would be fully deserved if it was one of our top players, but only if the same is dished out to everyone. "Fair" means for everyone. I have no sympathy for the players but the punishment needs to be consistent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluekev 43,844 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 No problem at all with them been punished but fuck me they didn't even try and hide their bias with a 7 game ban. They should have just fucked off to Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5 2,121 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Has some new rule came into place that see's our players being treated differently to the sheep and fenian players? If it has then fair enough and going forward everyone knows the deal. They'll be heading out the door in Jan anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Blue 9,349 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 7 games when a pile of Aberdeen players in the same pub got 3 and GoodGollyMissMolly left the fucking country and received less punishment, deary me. I’ve no sympathy for punishment being handed out as they were daft but there is zero consistency being applied to those breaching, which just annoys everyone.

We've not even been charged. Aberdeen and Celtic were essentially hit for not making clear to their players EXACTLY what is expected so there was a slight degree of mitigation from the players' perspective. That isn't the case with us which is why the players have been hit harder and the club hasn't even been cited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Aberdeen players didn't, whereas Jones and Edmundson did so I guess that has probably been factored in too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

British_Empire 9,648 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I've got no complaints over it in all honesty. See some folk on the Facebook pages going into meltdown saying where's the consistency as Celtic and Aberdeen players only got a 3-match ban and were fined 30k Dunno if it's just me or I'm missing something, but I'd rather the club didn't pay 30k and have two players who never play (and won't play for Rangers again) being available for selection, sooner.
