BEARGER 1,830 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Why would she be even looking at it? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47137060 Rangers: Jermain Defoe faces no disciplinary action over penalty incident Jermain Defoe won the second of four Rangers penalties in Saturday's 4-0 win over St Mirren Rangers striker Jermain Defoe will not face disciplinary action for falling under the challenge of Paul McGinn to win a penalty against St Mirren. The incident was examined by the Scottish FA's compliance officer. However, there was deemed to be insufficient evidence to charge the former England forward with simulation. Earlier on Tuesday, Rangers boss Steven Gerrard accused Kilmarnock counterpart Steve Clarke of "trying to get" Defoe, 36, banned. The Rugby Park boss had compared the incident to one for which winger Jordan Jones received a retrospective two-match ban. The penalty was one of four awarded to Rangers by referee Andrew Dallas in their 4-0 victory over the Paisley side. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,680 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 If the SFA had banned Defoe they’d have made themselves a laughing stock. Utterly ridiculous that this even got considered. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,724 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 This was all down to the Scottish gutter press again and they've failed again, Morelos now Defoe, but it won't end here, they will continue with the onslaught, which only makes it even more difficult to challenge for the title. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means when we win it, it will be all the sweeter - no need for demotions or to try to eliminate the competition - we will win it in spite of officialdom, not because of it ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranger_syntax 4,330 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I hope BBC Sportscene pundits Michael Stewart and Steven Thompson are upset about this. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Stewart said it was not a penalty but also there was no attempt to win one so he has nothing to be upset about but for Thomson who knows?? However I feel the one to be censured is Clarke,he has brought himself,his club and officials into disrepute. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca72 440 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 What needs to be made abundantly clear to the public is how and why the CO decides which incidents to review. She should publish a list of all incidents reviewed and her reasons for reviewing an incident. Surely this would then eliminate 'trial by mhedia'. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
