I’ve just seen the highlights. Not very impressive.

 

I enjoyed Mcleod’s descent from rapture to “can I go home yet?”

 

Stewart didn’t talk utter garbage I wonder if something was wrong with the sound.

There is no way this team will win the title! unless the BEASTS have an almighty crash! but I don't see that happening! they have already had the crash and we blew our chance!.

[CammyF 8,079]

Just reading that out of our last 15 penalties, only 3 have been awarded by the on-field referee. That's 1 in 5, or flipping it, 4 out of 5 times the on-field referee has gotten the decision wrong.

 

I'm sure there's a perfectly innocent explanation for it though.

Given that even if we do somehow win the league, we'll do so with LESS points than we managed last season finishing a poor 2nd, tells you the we have regressed slightly but they have regressed dramatically (and we still can't beat them)

Bit of a stretch.  As is happening whenever VAR is used, referees are less inclined to make big decisions because they're fully aware VAR will let them know what the correct decision is.  See the offside situation (flag rarely goes up now) for proof of this.  

 

When Dessers scored in the first game at Ibrox, the ref gave the goal and then VAR ruled it out - did the Micks and the Masons switch positions that day?

You've made a huge jump to a incorrect conclusion (again). Where did I mention masonic or anti-Rangegs conspiracy? 

 

There is factual evidence that referees (for whatever reasons) are getting 4 out of 5 penalty decisions for Rangers wrong. The facts are there, black and white - last 15 penalties, only 3 given on the field. 

 

I asked you to substantiate your claim that this is happening "everywhere VAR is used" yesterday, but you chose to sidestep. 

 

I'll ask again, name me one other club where they have had their last 11 penalties given by VAR and not the onfield referee. If its happening everywhere, it shouldn't take you long to find.

Or they're waiting for VAR to make the decision.

Where would I find these statistics?  I am not into stats, in general, so have no idea what websites would provide this sort of information.  Rousseau might know - he's into that sort of stuff.

So you've made a claim based on conjecture? 

[Gonzo79 15,292]

I've found this on ESPN - 97 VAR overturns in the EPL.  28 of them penalties.
