They're basically trolling us at every turn, including these kind of comments and the deliberate errors with stats and scores etc.  It's the behaviour of children.

I thought they were trolling us with the 'errors' but I noticed yesterday in a BBC report they referred to Hibs' 1-0 draw with Celtic.

If we're being fair here, Morelos squandered enough chances of his own. In fact at times his decision making in front of goal was poor.

He was heavily involved in the vital opening goal and the second before scoring  himself.  I thought he just shaded it from Stewart overall, although I've only seen the highlights of the first 20 minutes.

What a game ... and Stewart alone had at least three more golden, nay platimun chances to score ... plus Arfield's and Ojo's.

 

Hard to pick a man of the match, though I'd say Stewart and Davis were both just that very very little bit better than the rest.

Stewart was good but those misses means I'd give another MotM to Alfredo Morelos.

Best save I've seen in a while but all for nothing :-).  Missed the first twenty minutes but we are dominating.

It’s tough to speak out when your assistant manager says the ref got it right.

 

what the fuck is Gary Mac doing ? 

Giving his honest opinion perhaps?

Obviously the opening goal made all the difference as the game opened up after that and we took advantage by playing the ball quicker and took the chances when they came along.

 

Dallas did well at the opener to play advantage (not sure if the tackler was booked but should have been) but to not give a penalty for the handball is unforgivable.  Even the BT Sport ref thought it was and that's unusual when it comes to us.

 

After that Davis did brilliantly on the line to block what looked like a certain goal and squeaky bums for the last 5mins but we went up the park and scored two superb goals, though Defoe's second looked offside.

Davis did very well not to handle that.

Should have been a St J goal , but fuck them , if the refs assistant can’t see it the ref can’t give it , need VAR for these incidents , but then we would have had a penalty , ohhhhh 4-0 lololol

That was very close having seen from that goal line angle.  It was the correct decision as nobody could be sure that was over the line.

No way the ref could give that.  Nice break and a more typical Defoe finnish...and now he's done it again as I write. 4-0 ?

2 minutes ago, rbr said:

Seriously , how can the ref say that’s not a penalty .

Definitely a penalty.

Gerrad must have given Aribo a bollocking, because he's playing like a man possessed. 

 

His strength and power, pace is almost impossible to stop at times. 

I think the criticism has been a bit OTT in any case.   

looks like the ref has 2-0 as well.

Yaaa, was thinking it might be one of those days, so happy to be wrong. My win double is still in play, 

 

St Johnstone 0 Rangers 2

Chelsea 2 Liverpool 1

Looking dodgy at the moment.

Bloody missed it...  

Good long ball assist  from Jack and great refereeing playing the advantage as Jack was clobbered with a late tackle.  Don't know if the offender was booked.

Great goal from Alfredo 1-0.

Does Morelos find it impossible to chip the goalie? Number of times he goes for power and hits the keeper☹️

Was thinking the same thing.

Ojo always looks to me like a striker playing on the wing!

An inside forward.

Not if struck proper in the corner.

I don't see that.   Maybe Frankie will give his opinion. 

59 minutes ago, onevision said:

I do prefer my penalty taker to lift the ball from the ground about 1 metre to give the keeper less if a chance when they guess correctly where as if not mistaken Tav likes to hit his low.

Not sure i'd drop him from duty as he does have a very good record from the spot.

Surely it's easier to save a metre high shot than a grass cutter?  

Didn't Rangers get fined when that Tim invaded the pitch and sat down by the goalpost?  Can't remember who we were playing.

Thought Barasic  had his best game for us...

Maybe he can emulate the late great Fernando Ricksen; he never had the greatest of starts  but he went on to become a club hero.

Wish our players were that accurate tonight.

More goals would have been nice given the chances they created but at the end of the night the most important thing is the 3 points are in the bag and we're sharing top spot in the group.  Plus a €570,000 bonus for a win.

Little boost for the coefficient too.

Should have won that 6-3.  ?    Very good game and one of the best refereeing performances I can remember.  Played advantage five times.   Well done Rangers.

....unless you are a complete cu nt

Sorry don't want to derail this thread in particular but we had this kind of nonsense said when one of the scumbag Koch brothers died last week and it's absolute bollocks, unless you are a hypocritical cu nt.

One thing I wish is that goalkeepers had less time on the ball and had to take a goal-kick within a certain time. sometimes more than a minute is lost. Cut 6 seconds to 4 seconds and start actually giving free-kicks for holding the ball too long.

Just one of many things that could be done.  Another that bugs me is when the ball goes through to the keeper but there's been an offside flagged; the ref should wave play on regardless but they invariably stop the game.

So would I if 4th official could be trusted to handle it.Would also like to see similar to rugby,American Football etc. time clock being used to start stop games in case of injury,substitions so that correct amount of time is played instead of fourth official making decision.

I'm surprised more people involved in the game aren't up in arms about the amount of time wasted.  The referees are amongst the worst offenders. Not only do they let teams get away with deliberate time wasting, they take way too long getting the game going again at free-kicks and corners.
