[FT] Motherwell 0 - 2 Rangers (Katic 27; Morelos 69)


Recommended Posts

Aribo has played that shadow striker role for Nigeria too methinks, yet, on too many occasions we still lack a predator around the penalty spot, at least 4 times today.

 

Kent was on for far too long, clearly not his day. The last two subs should have come much earlier too ... as we have seen, Polster plays in Stewart, he gets fouled and Barasic plants a sublime free-kick nearly in, bar a tremendous save from their goalie.

 

That said, we could have had three penalties, should have had one. Barasic gets kicked, Kent too, they lay into our players and dispute the clearest fouling, the ref gives nothing. Yet reacts to a simple gesture to the crowds. I don't think you can speak of a "standard of refereeing" in Scotland, for "standard" would be too good a word.

Appeal 

There is nothing to appeal.  He rightly got the yellow card, it doesn't matter that it hasn't been implemented elsewhere.  Morelos has done much better this season, but he can't go back to giving refs decisions.

The disgusting thing is that the rule-book is thrown at us in a far narrower way than the opposition, not least when that opposition is a team inferior in football ability and quality. They can foul and debate like there is no tomorrow, but get away with it time and again. As opposed to us.

 

Appaling is the amount of incompetence when it comes to penalties. One ball is clearly stopped by the arm, a "might be" decisions, but it clearly deverts the flight of the ball - since this season a penalty. Then Alfredo and Katic are shouldered to the ground by the same Motherwell player, who gets the decision. And finally Alfredo is jumped upon by a Motherwell chap ... which is a stonewall penalty anywhere outside Scotland and some remote Pacific island where 4 coconuts mascerade as players due to lack of people ... 

 

There are a couple reason why VAR is not implemented in Scotland. It would lead to far more penalties / decisions for us ... and those judging on the incidents would be the same tossers who can't do it on the pitch ... and it would thus be even more evident that either are incompetent. That wont happen with the S(h)FA.
