I cheated a bit taking 36 km\hour as there are 3600 seconds in an hour and 36000 metres in 36km. Not really that smart. Don't ask me to do a difficult one.

Add jealousy of our success as the main reason.

I have more frames but I don't think they add to the argument. I hope my maths are good here or I will take pelter's. The ball in the photo has travelled roughly 1 meter if you take it the ball was travelling about 36 km\hour which I think may be reasonable guess then it would have taken a decisecond 1\10 of a second from contact with the ball to contact with the leg. What can you do in a decisecond in reaction when you are already in motion.

Sorry Cal i was also busy doing that when you posted obviously. I could have saved myself the time. Another thing is that if you look at the first and 3rd photo then May's leg has actually moved further than Jacks.

Okay I am changing my mind on this.and here is why. This is the first contact Jack had with the ball. In the second photo you can see the ball has moved a short distance. in the 3rd photo is the moment of contact with the leg the ball has only travelled about a metre since being kicked.The thing is that May's body shape is also the exact same from start to finish and that his foot has actually came forward halving the distance. If Jack was supposed to do a millisecond turn around why did May not change as he saw far earlier that Jack was getting the ball and had more time to react. What happened after that made it look worse but I see no way Jack could have pulled out of that. Just my new opinion.

I think it was obvious that Pedro had lost the dressing room and he was never going to get this squad going. Murty seems to have pulled everyone together although I do wonder what will happen if he replaces Miller with Morelos as he should. Will he have a dressing room rebellion.

This was Maddison last season and you will see he had roughly the same starting position but the ball actually hit the post and went in. Foderingham actually travelled further and had a better attempt to get the ball last season. That is a perfect free-kick although I still question his start position.

He is left of the penalty spot. If people get bored talking about Rangers then maybe a discussion forum is not the place for them. I will agree the penalty stuff may be boring but surely the performance of a player is discussable?

Look at his starting position. If you take the centre pole for the net he is actually to the left of that. As I said the chances it was going to the far corner are pretty low. He could have been at least a yard more to his right. Looking at this photo you can see the ball is not even in the corner and what distance does he come too short? Yes the distance that he was at the left side of the goal. Sorry his start position is just totally wrong and he should have learned from last season. I will also add the wall was more of a hindrance than a help for him. Two or three men were plenty from there in my opinion..

I watched it again on Sportscene and that was a ball he should have had. Unfortunately all other teams now know his weak point. Free kick experts will be wetting themselves to get a go.

You are completely wrong. A keeper who dosn't anticipate and move will never be a professional keeper.

Unless we are getting a curve ball.

I just want to bring into the discussion. Has playing with 5 defenders really helped us cement the back and give us a platform to build from the back. Aberdeen scored with a free-kick from distance but have had in 2 games hardly had a chance shot on goal. Has Ross McCrorie brought out the best of Ryan Jack in that he is now playing further forward and has been relieved of a lot of his defensive duties. What do we do when Dorrans come s back? Will that be to the cost of Holt or Pena?

Surprise surprise a journo taking a Rangers players side. To be honest Andy Walker also said it wasn't red.

6 second keeper rule not being followed gets on my chest. sometimes they have it nearer 20 seconds.

Ouch! I will admit I didn't know that either, I guess that rule has changed recently then. It was for a while they used to jump forward to narrow the angle.

What is football it is all about guessing anticipation and taking chances. A striker guesses and takes a chance when running to the front or back post. Guessing gives a keeper mostly a 50% chance he is right. Sometimes 33% if you take going down the middle. When you take it that penalty takers habits are well studied before the time then those odds could be vastly improved. Did you see the Liverpool free-kick yesterday? They had studied that the wall always jumped so they took a chance and hit a daisy cutter and the wall jumped nicely over the ball leaving the keeper stranded. Anyway I will leave it at that because I guess you won't give in until you say we will have to agree to disagree.

When you are in goals you stand still. I will still try to steal an advantage. I hope Foderingham does the same.

Yes almost every keeper breaks the rules at a penalty. Referee's hardly ever blow for it unless it is really blatent. So Gotcha yourself. A keeper could never get to a ball in the corner if he waits to the ball is kicked. Unless it is a tricke shot.

Great to see a bit of fight in the middle of the park again today. Brings back memories of old:)

Seems to be a bit of team spirit that was missing before.

Sorry Craig you are totally wrong. If a keeper does not anticipate things and move early he will never save much. How many penalties would be saved in the corner if the keeper stands until the ball is kicked. The keeper has far more time if the ball is put to the back-post and the ball has to cross his path. From where that kick was taken the chances of scoring in the back post postage stamp beating the keeper are low and would need to be millimetre perfect. I am not saying it can't happen but 99% of free kicks from that angle take the shortest route to goal.

Murty has never managed a team so we have no idea what level he is at. For what it is worth I read the delay was that McInnes wants to bring his back-room staff and Rangers don't want them. If that is true then maybe they want Murty and JJ to stay as his assistants. I only read that it could be bullshit.

Craig the day you agree with me I will start to worry about you. The chances of him scoring in the far corner are virtually nil as I said so not many free kicks will be aimed there. With that knowledge you can have a good idea where the ball will be going and make a move during the run-up. Foderingham even had the insight that he done the exact same thing last season.

I must admit Rangers had an extra man for 65 minutes as Kenny McLean was playing for us. Wasn't he? I will also put my tin hat on. I think Jacks tackle was a red card. I don't think he needed to put his foot there I think he knew what he was doing and it was endangering a player. If I put the shoe on the other foot I would be crying for a red card so I have to be honest.
