Bears 796 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 9 hours ago, LaaRFC said: The penalty is absolutely the wrong decision but a part of me can kind of understand it being given. Each ref seems to have their own understanding of the handball laws and Goldson’s arm is raised and outside the “natural silhouette”. How he gets a booking absolutely blows my mind though. Has the ref watched that and deemed it deliberate!? When the shot is taken, his arm is inside the natural silhouette. So there is no reason at all in the rules that a penalty should be given. About time UEFA train their officials properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BouncyBluenose87 1,595 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Have Rangers asked for clarification from the officials as to why the penalty was given? Has the reason been given to us yet? It was a handball in the most ridiculous circumstances. “Harsh in the extreme” I think were the words used by Tom Miller and Gordon Smith on RangersTV. Sums it up. Was talking to a mate before the game yesterday and we agreed that the officials should be mic’d up like they are in rugby, so we can hear their reasoning behind decisions like that. That’s an area that should be looked at with urgency in my opinion. Nimmoger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stevemac 5,433 Posted August 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2022 Boils my piss when folk try to excuse a shambolic refereeing decision because we were awful, as if we deserved it. Yes, we were dreadful, but so was that refs decision and could cost us millions due to their sheer ineptitude TEFTONG, Darth Bear, kelvd1873 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Enclosure Row N 2,902 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Two sides to this - VAR still comes down to the opinion of humans. VAR doesn't detract from the fact that we were utter gash last night and fortunate not to be on the arse end of a cricket score. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossco87 796 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Utterly shocking decision. All very well saying how pish we were (which we very much were) but at the end of the day we should only be one goal down as they didn’t convert the chances they created. If we go out next week by one goal we of course have to look at ourselves and our performance but there should be a large amount of attention on the incompetence of the ref & VAR officials for not implementing the laws of the game correctly. It is a decision that could play into us loosing at least £5M but so far the ref (just like so many others) seems to have just gotten to walk away from the game with no consequences for his incompetence.

onlythestrongsurvive 1,007 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Spoke of this in match thread - similar to Liverpool in Champions League final when hit player's hand after deflecting off one of their own players so no pen to Madrid.

El-Hadji Spit RFC 756 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I just don’t understand how referee’s don’t know the rules, or don’t have help in these situations. Surely between the ref, fourth official and/or the VAR people, someone knows the correct decision! The ref didn’t need to even look at that.

SeparateEntityMyArse 55,426 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I'm not sure the ref was convinced he should have been giving it, even as he was running back toeards the pitch to give it he didnt look convinced.. Seemed to me like he was advised / instructed to do so. I'd honestly have thought (not just last night but in general) we'd have seen examples of refs disagreeing with the var panel and not giving the decisions. But it just never seems to happen.

Amato 3,101 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Was a worse decision than Ryan Kent's goal being disallowed v Dortmund, after Morelos was fouled during the assist. And that's saying something. magic8ball and ianferguson 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianferguson 2,619 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 The rules clearly states "exception" when the ball come off your team mate, no grey area , no opinion just an absolute joke as was no VAR in the first half. Surely the game should be VAR for 90 mins or not at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theiconicman 3,130 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 My issue with the current offside is you are actually penalised as the defending team. Last night Goldson had to clear a long ball that was clearly offside to about 3 of their players. He could have risked it and left it but then you are relying on a linesman and who the fuck would do that? It was a poor clearance and fell to one of their midfielders and by then their players were back onside and had us under pressure. It should have been flagged right away and free kick given. It's fucking mad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree, James Sands should’ve been off. Twice we he was on a booking he did professional fouls where he didn’t touch the ball, can’t believe the ref missed those also.
