The C****c way

Can they think ?, that's why they're MOPES

I still say he cheated yesterday, he gave them every decision except the Fortune goal where he was spot on.

If I had to watch an OF game in amongst MOPES I wouldn't watch it,hats off to you.

Fortune clearly pushed Shaggers arm away from the ball,clear foul. Shagger was lucky though as he made a cnut of it.

I've not read the article. How was he there to watch Boyd,he could be there watching anybody

Rubbish. With the players we had missing we had the best team out there that we could.If our players can't pass or control the ball on the day it's hardly the fault of WS,the players played pish end of IMO.

I would have went with Edu as well,however I would have put Fleck on the second half for Lafferty who was having a mare and should have been sent of for that tackle.I still think it is too early for him to start thinking about moving elsewhere.

Exclusive: Smith accuses referee of changing story over Kenny Miller dismissal Jan 2 2010 Keith Jackson RANGERS manager Walter Smith last night accused ref Willie Collum of concocting a cover-up story to justify sending off Kenny Miller. Record Sport yesterday revealed the Ibrox boss was privately seething over the whisler's refusal to reverse his decision following an official appeal to have the striker's red card overturned. Collum remains adamant Miller was guilty of violent conduct in a clash with Dundee United defender Darren Dods - and by sticking to his guns the official has ensured the player will be banned from tomorrow's Old Firm derby at Parkhead. Collum is fourth official for the powderkeg clash - and he's certain to get a frosty reception from Smith who insists the ref changed his version of events since watching the flashpoint again on television. In an official statement on Thursday the SFA insisted Collum was convinced Miller had been guilty of trying to kick AND punch Dods as the two players tangled on the ground. But Smith swears this flies in the face of the explanation the ref gave to his players moments after sending Miller packing. The manager said: "We are extremely disappointed by the referee's decision. "It's especially hard to understand how he can uphold the red card given that, during the game, he was telling our players Kenny Miller had kicked Dods in the head. "That was the reason he gave for producing a red card. But, having watched the TV evidence myself, that is clearly not the case. "The referee is adamant this was violent conduct but from watching the tapes I have to say there is not even a great deal of anger being shown by either of the players. You would expect to see anger involved in acase of violent conduct. "That's why I'm disappointed in his decision not to change his mind. It seems obvious he got it wrong. "You only need to look at the reaction of the other players. In a genuine case of violent conduct you would expect to see players from both teams rushing in to get involved. "Not one Rangers or Dundee United player felt any need to get involved. That tells you everything. "Had the referee not made that decision Miller and Dods would simply have got up and got on with the game." Smith insisted Collum's decision has undermined the integrity of the entire appeals process and has called upon the SFA to ensure that, in future, such matters are dealt with by an independent body. He said: "How can you have an appeals process which is dependent upon the referee admitting that he got it wrong in the first place? "It doesn't seem to make a great deal of sense."

He hasn't had it very good so far in his Rangers career, but until he gets a sustained run in his proper position I shall reserve my judgement on him, but it is getting harder for me to do so

HA HA,no Fraser although I did see it,I wouldn't want to get banned otherwise I couldn't go on to GLOAT at them

Does this mean Super Ally,{the real one}, is/was better than Larson ? http://www.eurotopfoot.com/soulierdorhistorique.php3

I think Craig means his quads are defunct...........................

I suppose the MOPES need all the help they can get, with Miller being out,Bougherra away and having MOPE officiating the game !!

I posted this already, the Loovens one is totally different scenario as the ref never seen the incident and therefore it went to a video review panel which is made up of third party people and not anyone from the SFA,still took far too long to be dealt with all the same,but different cases.

Bougherra has only played in a few OF games,how many have we lost since he signed ?, he is a big player for us no doubt but Miller will be a bigger miss IMO.

I think the difference there was that the ref never seen that incident and it went to a video review panel which is made up of third party and doesn't involve anyone from the SFA,I could be wrong though

At the end of the day it wasn't a red card.

So how does that make you the odd one out Pete ?,that's all we are saying, '' it was never a red card and Dods cheated '',

I'm all for fairness & parity mate,but I never seen that last night,it wasn't a dirty game just poor refereeing again

Well in that case I'll wish you a happy New Year now , and all the best for 2010,see you next year WATP

When Lafferty did what he did against the SHEEP both him and Rangers came out and condemned his actions and was rightly punished, CLASS, don't expect the same from Dods & DUTD.

Go on Zappa, wire in mate
