Red card for the Hibs player, for two yellows. He hand-balled it. 

Nervy start...

I'm seeing 4 yellows for them 2 for us on BBC.

Yes, you are correct.

I just seen it. 

They've committed double the number of fouls we have; yet we're two yellow cards a-piece. 

Annoying finish. 

We should've had several goals; Jones and Defoe were brilliant. 

Goldson and Katic switch off, and we've conceded. Hint of offside? I couldn't see it. 

And, we should have had a penalty. 

Beaton is useless.

Bugger. 

Scored out of nothing. 

I think Goldson and Katic have been immaculate. 

Jones sets up Defoe again, but doesn't get any bend on it. 

Lovely play from Defoe, Ojo and Aribo. 

Wrong player (Aribo) struck it, hitting the side-netting. 

Defoe has another chance for the hat-trick, but the 'keeper saves. 

Jones brought down IN THE BOX, but it's a free-kick.

Completely twists his defender -- two of them -- inside out. Wonderful. 

Ojo is more central, but Jones is hugging the left touchline.

Jones looks in the mood. 

What a free-kick from Tavernier! Just tipped over the bar.

Ojo taken out; really hard, dangerous tackle. No yellow. 

This is ridiculous. 

edit: did get booked; eventually...

Hanlon just did the same thing that Katic got booked for; nothing. 

Katic now booked; for nothing. 

There are going to be several reds today. 

Beaton: Donkey. 

Jones makes it; great one-two, runs at the defence, slips in Ojo with a through ball, before Ojo cuts it across for Defoe at the near post. 

What. A. Goal. 

Beaton's started well: yellow to Ojo, for nothing. 

I missed it, but it's 1-0 Rangers! Defoe tapping it in after Ojo's long-range strike (may have been a free-kick).

Can you imagine VAR in this bigoted little country where like it or not your either a Billy or A Dan do you think any one will give us the benefit if he's got a liking for the hooped horrors or will any Rangers leaning man give them a decision  more worrying is if the operators are appointed the same way as the compliance officer  .

I think it'll be far more unlikely for them to go with their prejudices, simply because they cannot deny what's being shown in black and white. 

There will still be an element of subjectivity for some decisions, so incompetency will continue. It's more for the objective, black-and-white decisions what will start being corrected, that makes me favour VAR. 

Just think of the number of offside goals we'd have scored last year.

Being a fairly new member, is there anywhere on the site that explains the ranking system? I've had a look but couldn't find anything. Thanks 

The Leaderboard? It's based on the number of 'reactions' that your posts receive.

Most pay no attention.  

Oh--do you mean the 'youth team', 'first team squad' etc. rank, for posters? It's based on the number of posts. I have no idea what you need for each rank, though. 

Burnley also surprised me, beating Southampton. I actually think they've had two 'blip' seasons; their European place the season before last was too high for them, but their flirtation with relegation last season was too low. 

It's fair to say Brighton surprised you all. 

I think Potter's a good coach. They've also made some astute acquisitions. 

However, I too, did not expect them to beat Watford 0-3.
