I would be mad if a Rangers player got sent off for that. From the regerees handbook on high feet. If the defender is showing the bottom of his boots, then he will get a straight red. As in no situation can a player justify that he was going for the ball with that gesture. Even if his intentions were innocent, it is too dangerous for the other player. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 5,199 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Take the colour of the jerseys out of it for a moment. I'd have upgraded it to a red and help put a marker down that deterred such reckless and dangerous play at head high. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SFA compliance Officer role should be abolished. It was a role created for the yahoos whereby they’d get all others restrospectively punished whilst they didn’t. I see Darnell Johnson the hibs player has lost his appeal against a 2 game ban despite getting a yellow card at the time of the incident. This is scandalous. If the incident is SEEN by the referee there should be no further action. This incident was not UNSEEN. Same goes for Allan McGregor’s appeal today. If SEEN by the referee that should be the end of the matter Edited February 13, 2019 by RANGERRAB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem here is we have got a Compliance Officer whose bias & inconsistency is there for all to see. She isn’t smart enough to hide it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can we take the hammer throwers out of the game if this conduct is allowed? So we can rule out all overhead kicks from the game then. The guy was following the ball and tried to bring it down out the air. I don't believe he even knew Jack was there. Funny how people think it is okay for McGregor to come in with a straight leg and studs showing under the name of protecting himself. Sorry to upset the apple cart but I think the referee and SFA have got this spot on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to upset the apple cart but I think the referee and SFA have got this spot on. That was not an overhead kick, so no need to take them out of the game. If the ball had hit his boot, studs or otherwise, he would have had no control of it, it could have gone anywhere. Before he goes for the ball he had looked twice at Jack and knew exactly where he was, it was probably a deliberate act of intimidation to prevent Jack from trying to head the ball. McGregor and Power are two entirely different incidents so whataboutary won't work. The ref got it wrong and so has the CO. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has played the game knows you sometimes follow the ball like that, unintentionally creating a dangerous situation. Yellow card was correct decision. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,677 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 For me it’s not about whether incidents should or shouldn’t have got yellow cards or red cards. It’s whether the SFA Compliance Officer can over-rule an incident the referee had clearly SEEN. If so then that is very dangerous indeed in my opinion 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think it likely that Morelos would be red carded if he went in like that? If it had been Morelos the red card would have been out before the opposing fell after the tackle. Looks like a couple on here are succumbing to the all Rangers do is bad scenario by trying to defend that tackle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
