"I was never going to get that penalty because I got the shot away before big Mick (McManus) wiped me out - but that doesn't make it right," Miller told the Daily Record. "If it had happened anywhere else on the pitch it would have been a foul. No question.

You may remember a dodgy penalty at the piggery last season cost us 3 points and arguably the league, should we just let these things pass without comment ?

TannochsideBear 355 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I had a great view of it from the south east corner, and it was an absolute stick-on. The ref totally bottled it and refused to give it. The tackle was so late a few of the bears around me didn't even see it as they were following the ball skywards. Had it occured elsewhere on the pitch, it would have certainly been a foul and most probably a booking as it was so late and he went to ground. Big thick Mick gets away with these type of tackles time and time again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t believe the ref saw that and didn’t give it as he had shot, this guy is meant to be the person who knows the rules of the game, massively embarrassing for him…….

ricosoave 0 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 In place of Miller in a Rangers top, put Totti in an Italian top. In place of thick Mick in a Celtic top, put him in a Scotland top. Now, what decision does the International referee give? it was a no-brainer. and anyone that doesnt think so, isn't using theirs. whether he got the shot away or not, is completely irrelevant.

TannochsideBear 355 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I actually thought the ref was very good yesterday and got most of the decisions right and refused to be conned by their calling for everything and intimidation from the technical area. The two decisions he got wrong were key ones though. He did not book Brown very early on for a dreadul challenge which allowed the horrible little scrote to go kicking his way through the 90 minutes before finally being booked near the end, and the penalty. For us to go to the piggery and have a ref who doesn't give them anything they shouldn't have got, even if that means we dont get a penalty we should have got, that is a great performance and one we are just not used to seeing at the scumhut in recent years where the intimidation of officials is the worst anywhere.

You don't have to go that far, simply replace Miller with Steven Davis and you won't get many arguments that it was a penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes his complaint no less relevant. Why are Rangers fans arguing against a clear penalty claim that would probably have won us the game......

I reckon around a few more than that as well, including that fat aussie b*stard kicking out at Papac? i think (late on in the second half) right under the linesmans nose. It's perhaps as well Shitanta don't have as many cameras at the game than Sky, the EPL referees are microscopically scrutinized, if the SPL refs had the same dissection of their performances it would be completely embarrassing for them. They are consistently poor and seem to get ALL the major decisions wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluepeter 5,627 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I'm struggling to believe that people think Miller is in the wrong here It was a foul. It was inside the box. It was a penalty. Why people think the fact that he'd had a shot before the foul is relevant is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,729 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I must admit penalty wasnt the first thing I thought, im sure thats the same for many others, theres no way it would have been given though unless he took an extra touch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Manticore* 1,893 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Well I completely missed it at the game (I was watching the ball so my focus was about 50 yards away from it). But on principle I am happy to join in any moaning about miller It was all his fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
