der Berliner 3,748 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 We need to appeal this and if necessary take it to the courts. Someone has to make the first step or else this will go one and on ( ... maybe they wait for it, so they can charge us and deduct points?). At the end of the day, we don`t want to clear Roofe here, but want a transparent system where the rules at hand are used and not some mumbo-jumbo side-rule that is applied after trial by TV and as they see fit. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was guilty of a careless challenge that could easily have been a red, but it was obvious there was no intent. There are just so many challenges throughout the season in that category that don’t get cited. The ones that do get cited are normally not seen by the ref or the kind of challenges that are obviously a bit dirty. Curtis Main on Barisic comes to mind. The double standards are shocking. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one below was not even a foul ... nor was there any retrospective action. https://twitter.com/RangersSpares__/status/1357734235218534404 On the one below the three refs couldn`t agree on a unanimous decision either .. Anyone can spot the difference? https://twitter.com/graham1watson/status/1168248330108977158 That was not a yellow card .. just for the ability of the refs to use the rules https://twitter.com/Pena_Cartel/status/1158306556913639425 Yellow cards are not always required ... https://twitter.com/Patigol72/status/1211309734973919232 ... and that`s just the tip of the iceberg. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On what basis would you take this to the courts. Seriously, no one is ever going to get anywhere with this if we continue to waste time and energy on fictitious remedies and impossible solutions. It is what it is. You either change the relationship between Rangers and the SPFL & SFA to something like we had well before the Murray years or you settle for how it is today. Celtic are benefiting now because they understood better than we did that this is essentially a political battle, not a legal one. Many years ago Rangers was by far the most influential club in the Scottish game but we turned that into a "no one likes us, we don't care" situation. Of course it's not entirely as simple as that but you get my point. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,627 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The only surprise about this whole episode is that it's taken them this long to do it to us this season. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,678 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Roofe is getting banned for a tackle that similar other tackles in the SPFL have gone unpunished for. At best it is incompetence at worst corruption. Does anyone wonder why the SPFL cannot attract sponsorship?
