Kamara’s statement says it all really, and you can see in Goldson’s demeanour that he looks tired and completely dejected from having to deal with this stuff. UEFA really need to do something, the Slavia Prague reaction has really made a joke of racism.  I’m also struggling with the amount of people using team colours to gloss over what’s happened, sickening.

you are at it as ever. Frankly you spend a lot of time on a team you come across as hating. 

 

He got to the ball well before the keeper. if that had been 2 foot lower it's a pen and a red card for the keeper. 

 

he has no idea where the keeper is and the keeper is really brave to go in there and win the game in that moment. 

 

Not really, I just don’t defend what is indefensible. If I back Roofe there then the way I see it is I have no right to condemn any opposition player for the same. It was awful, regardless of intention or not. I don’t see how anyone can say he has the right to go for that, studs up, head height and jumping. As for your other comment, I think you just read what you want to.

Again IMO he has every right to go for that ball, he could have scored if the keeper never got there or stayed back. These things happen quickly in games and once your mind is made up if you pull out then you can get injured. It was unfortunate what happened but he had every right to go for it.

He didn't have every right to go for the ball, there was a goalkeepers face in the way! It's just like a defender doesn't have every right to go for the ball if they are behind the opposition player. It's endangering an opponent.

Roofe made a mistake going with his foot instead of his head - it was a misjudgement at full pelt and he had no idea of the 'keeper's position.

 

It was an accident, a red card, but still an accident.

 

Nothing crazy or stupid about it.

 

PS: I hope the goalkeeper is OK as that was a horror wound.

IMO it is a bit crazy and stupid, the injuries to their keeper show why these rules need to be considered by players. It wasn't intentional, but it wasn't intentional in the same way a speeding driver doesn't aim to run someone over. Every rangers fan was up in arms when Power did the same. Anyway, it's open and closed case so not much to discuss, but it was certainly naive.

Watch it again.

 

He was looking at the ball the whole time and will not have known where the keeper was.

 

Still dangerous though.

I'm not saying he did it intentionally, but it was still a crazy thing for him to do.

Seen some pics of their keeper there, what the hell was Roofe thinking? It's shocking.

It appears that other players (from both sides) heard the remark. Rangers need to get the UEFA delegate involved prior to Slavia leaving the stadium 

Let's hope so.

Yes absolutely and we wouldn’t forfeit the tie if we were the victims of racist abuse. 

Yep, I would be pretty proud of our players if they did that and I'd back them, but I think it'll be hard to prove this was a racist insult. Just the same as the Aberdeen (I think?) player.

Whilst I back what people are saying regarding leaving the pitch, would everyone be saying that if we were winning the tie? We would forfeit it.

Can't believe I'm seeing some rangers fans claiming roofes foul wasn't a red. Imagine if it wasn't, we'd be kicking peoples heads off every game!

If what was said to Kamara was a racist comment, we should have walked off the pitch. 

I think it must have been, we'll see what is said after the match but their player was a sneaky fuck that's for sure.

Your right. We were terrific, Slavia were lucky. 

Eh, I'm confused... Not bothered by your opinion, you're free to have it but don't skirt around it.

No idea what you’re on about. 

You did say we had downed tools in your post but maybe you meant something else.

We've done great but no doubt we need some freshness in over the summer.

Been a great season, but there is still definitely still work to be done over the Summer. We are nearly there, but we need to make some top signings if we want to even pretend to compete in the CL.

Jesus, that is woeful from Balogun.

I don't mind the shot, but he has to keep it down.

Best thing we've done all game to be honest

Can't believe how daft that was. Who does he think he is, Alan Power?

That was brutal

We need some Hagi magic

Dunno how he got away with that, it was a pen all day long. Ridiculous play from Balogun.

That was awful from Balogun, awful.

We complain about Scottish refs but IMO European refs are worse every time, they have made football a non-contact sport. 

Unless the contact is on Kent

Take a punt on that one Kamara!

Another one... when do we start counting them?
