[FT] Ross County 1 - 3 Rangers (Morelos 31, 41; Herrera 89)

[rbr 1,266]

Good first half , plus should have had a penalty and it was also a straight red for the forearm into Miller , but honest mistakes eh yeh can't beat them

[Frankie 8,663]

Can't argue too much with that.

 

We started fairly well but just as it was starting to look like a carbon copy of last week, a great move down the right and a superb header opens up the game for us. The second goal was awful goalkeeping but let's give credit to Miller and Morelos for working the defenders and causing the mistakes.

 

We just need to keep our concentration for the second half and secure the three points - hopefully with another goal or two.

[Frankie 8,663]

that was a red card for me, blatant elbow on Miller.....

 

easy so far

 

It was disgraceful. Should have been an easy decision for the referee.

[Rousseau 10,823]

We've been comfortable - Foderingham having nothing to do - without really creating good chances.

 

Morelos is a natural goalscorer; give him a chance and he'll put it away. That cross had no pace and neither did his header, but it was pin-point into the bottom corner. Great determination to get that second.

 

Another absolutely awful refereeing display. Clear penalty, with Morelos being taken from behind - it doesn't matter if he got the ball, which is debatable. And that forearm smash on Miller was a disgrace. How there wasn't a red there, I don't know. It's just a league of hatchet-men; absolute disgrace.

Can't imagine what that goalie was thinking of. Bizarre but hey Morelos reacted quickly despite the fact he too must have been thinking WTF is he doing.

And yet Ally and Butcher say it wasn;t a red. FFS, even Mutton and Stewart say it was.

I think he took the ball after watching the slo mo replay.

As comfortable a 45 minutes as we will get all season. We've controlled proceedings without creating a ton but could still have been 3 or 4 up at the break.

 

Can't believe I am saying this.... but Sutton has actually been decent on commentary

[SteveC 150]

I'm talking about the red card incident - elbow in Miller's face

 

The player did take the ball in the penalty incident. But that doesn't mean it is not a foul. He then went though the back of the legs and swung his other leg round in a dangerous manner. Touching the ball doesn't mean you can then do anything without consequence despite what Ally and other ex-players seem to think. yYou imagine a machine gunning to death and they'd still ask "but did he touch the ball first?"

The Ross County player was just protecting himself.
