KYBear 0 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Still can't believe that "challenge"....looks at Stokes' face - it's pure anger & aggression. There is absolutely NO attempt to get the ball & actually LEADS with a right fist into Tav's head/jaw.Unfortunately, Stokes gets away without any further punishment coz the ref "dealt" with it at the time, issuing a yellow card. Why Tav got booked, we'll never know. That's not an inept referee, that is a referee with a clear agenda. Is there no mechanism for discipline by the league after the fact for something like this? Why didn't Rangers appeal the yellow to Tav? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Tav got booked, we'll never know. If the Compliance Officer does his job (no laughing at the back...) then he should still be issuing a red card to Stokes for his involvement in the Ryan Jack incident. He wasn't booked in that instance so they CAN use video evidence to retrospectively issue a card. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 307 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I had a feeling this would be the outcome. Even the SFA don't have the brass neck to uphold this after the entire shambles of last week. They will settle for robbing us of the points and Stokes not red carded for a catalogue of blatant crimes. I still have no idea what Tav got booked for. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aweebluesoandso 290 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Correct decision, but that poor refereeing performance still cost us three points. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the ref issued the Yellow, the Compliance officer has no remit to intervene or apply extra punishment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those circumstances he can't intervene....it's the rule that is wrong here 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I thought the ref was easy on Stokes because he wanted to keep the full compliment on the field so as not to spoil the game....but that theory was blown out of the water at Jack's red card 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was talking more about him having Jack by the throat 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
