That's all they were looking at. They can't run back to an offside before that. Only when it comes to a goal. kelvd1873 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvd1873 7,680 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Time and time again we suffer from negative decisions from the officials in old firms but they get away with players fouling and elbowing whilst on yellow cards. HG5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they realised the corruption was so evident they spent the next half hour scrabbling about for a way out. It was about saving face and fuck all to do with getting decisions right. Shitebaggery rather than corruption, I suspect. Should still have been offside, though. The manner of the decision rather than the decision is the issue.

crabbit247 805 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 14 minutes ago, Prso's headband said: I really like Tav and you can’t argue with his numbers but honestly you can’t have a Rangers captain who has won 9 out of 34 old firms. That is just absolute nonsense. It will obviously affect him and the other “senior” players who have been on the end of some poor results, especially at Parkhead I've been critical of Tav but have recently turned that round and started to think maybe he is again going to lead us forward. Why do I do it to myself. Time and again he shows that when the going gets tough, he just wants to pass back to goldson.... At all fucking costs. His brave days look behind him, apart from pens - which btw are very welcome, is there a position for him in the squad without responsibility? Fuck knows but he definitely shrinks in the bigger matches HG5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotstopper 793 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Haven't yet read the posts since FT but I have to say this, sorry lf it has been mention before. How corrupt is Scottish football referring to the penalty incident before HT. Clear and obvious - YES. Goal kick awarded and taken - YES. VAR checked - YES. So how come 20mins later it's shown as offside. Everyone and thier auntie, even Lennon, agreed it was a clear and obvious hand ball. If it was offside, then wis setbackhy wasn;t the referee told at the time and an offside dscision indicated. Saying all that, a good performance all round apart from Dessers finishing, Have no doubt, we are winning this league despite this setback. Trust in Clement and celebrate the TREBLE come the end of the steson. geneva_ger 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Archer 1,438 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 The key thing here is that if the scum had lost today it would have been a big issue with the league for them, We were never going to get 3 points today as it would have upset the narrative too much. kelvd1873 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he handled it, that's a penalty... ok so now there is a consequence, run it back 5 seconds ... was he offside... yes... ok original infringement is offside and free kick from there ... can say what you like, we didn't lose today because of that chain of events, and lingering on it just detracts from the facts and makes us no better than them on the "always cheated, never defeated" front... it should have been offside... end of.... I am grateful every day that I was born into a Rangers family and its because I would never want to be like them ... always the victim... so forgive me if I would rather just take what little positives there were from today and put faith in PC being able to win this league...

I'm pissed off by his constant bottling of games against them - always popping up with something when it's gone, too late or disappearing entirely. It doesn't excuse his absolutely turgid performance at RB, the balls he lost, the amount of times he was done, clearances right back to them, time and again today. He says the same thing everytime too, "disappointed ya'know" - but the rest of his game never improves, the mentality never improves.

plymouthranger 4,281 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Let’s be honest, we’re a competent striker and referee away from winning that today. Move onto the next game, win our 2 in hand and there’s 2 points difference, despite us losing twice to them this season. Cyriel Dessers cannot be our starting striker in January onwards, if he is we’ll win fuck all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
