craig 5,199 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Jig is very cute when it comes to the dirtier side of the game. The previous week in the League Cup at Hampden there were at least two actions from him which could have seen him given a straight red if he hadn't been so cute about it and avoided detection. It's called being a pro - almost all of them are at it. The bruises they leave the field with after shifty little stamps or dragging the studs down the calf etc is common place. A part of the game we like to see ? Nope. A common occurrence ? Sadly yes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Jig's case I think he is getting "dirtier" as his skill level decreases. He simply can't compete with many of the opposing players & has to resort to fouling them. Get Zaliuska or Faure in beside McGregor. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it goes on all the time mate, but don't like to see our players resorting to dirty and nasty tactics, especially a Rangers captain. At Hampden Jig was a total embarrassment. His super fly stamp on Guidetti followed up by some sort of mad WWE elbow drop on the guy's napper was just ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 5,257 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) I know it goes on all the time mate, but don't like to see our players resorting to dirty and nasty tactics, especially a Rangers captain. At Hampden Jig was a total embarrassment. His super fly stamp on Guidetti followed up by some sort of mad WWE elbow drop on the guy's napper was just ridiculous. It only goes to exemplify the breakdown of onfield discipline when the captain is giving the referee a couple of opportunties per game to send him off. The whole club is broken and your 'experienced pros' are not at the races. At Tynecastle, Miller and Boyd could have joined Smith in the dressing room for unnecessary wreckless challanges. They are marking time as weeks are ticked off until they get out of the 'freak show' that masquerades as a football club. This makes a play-off all the more difficult to negotiate successfully.

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Didn't look deliberate to me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 He has always been a dirty player that had a far better career than his ability merited. I was gutted when we signed him and that opinion never changed. He has never excelled in any position. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Didn't look deliberate to me. I agree with that. previous cons are not considered when justice is decided. There was no intent as far as I can see, The complaint will be dismissed 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 It's a maybe 50/50 one for me. In the slow motion replay it doesn't necessarily look deliberate, but it also doesn't look as if Jig had no option other than to stand on the guy. At full speed (ie not played back in slow motion) I'd struggle to defend Jig on this. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWee BlueDevil 0 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I was hoping he was going to appeal it, only so as his ban can be increased and he can miss more games as he is by far the worst "defender" I have seen at Ibrox in many years. Agreed. It's been obvious for quite some time he needs to be stood down. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
