Rangers blunder ref banned by own FA for penalty errors | Rangers Review

 

Bosnian ref Irfan Peljto was handed a six-match ban by his own FA earlier this season for three mistakes in one game.

And two of his errors involved his failure to award clear penalties.

Rangers boss Barry Ferguson was fuming after his side were denied what he insisted were two clear penalties in their 2-0 quarter finals defeat in Spain to Athletic Bilbao.

The Ibrox club were unhappy that Peljto or his VAR team didn't give spot kicks after Cyriel Dessers had his shirt pulled in the penalty box by Yeray Alvarez and they claimed there was an Athletic handball in the box after a Nico Raskin effort in the second half too.

Peljto has history with Rangers after awarding Belgian club Union St Gilloise a penalty three years ago in a Champions League qualifier for a controversial handball against Connor Goldson.

And he was also sidelined by his own Bosnian FA for an error-strewn disaster of a game in September this season.

The 40-year-old, who has been a FIFA ref for ten years - was in the charge of a bitter derby between  Zrinjski Mostar and Borac Banja.

And in a scathing verdict, the Committee for Referees and Refereeing of the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina, confirmed that Peljto made three mistakes in the game, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

According to their assessment, he failed to award a penalty for Borac and then missed a foul in the very next attack, which led to a goal for Zrinjski.

His final cock-up came when he failed to award a penalty to Zrinjski Mostar, which should have been given.

He was suspended for six games in the Bosnian league and the VAR officials for that game were all also handed six-game bans.

The Bosnian FA statement explained: "In the 25th minute, the referee, although very well positioned and with a clear view of the incident, failed to recognise an obvious foul and award a penalty kick to FK Borac.

"In the 26th minute, the referee, although well positioned, failed to award a direct free kick for the away team after a clear foul which led to a goal for the home team

"In the 90th+5 minute, the referee failed to award a clear penalty kick for Zrinjski too."

Women's rights are not important, then?

Tricky to argue that, but I am sure you will be able to put the gals straight on these matters. 

 Didn't have you down as a Woke advocate 😂

The Magic Roundabout will continue to spin on all of the 'important stuff'

The decision by the High Court on the definition of a woman is one of the most important decisions in my lifetime and for women's hard fought rights.  I was ecstatic over the judgement although I knew in my heart it was the only one possible.  I don't usually comment on these things on here but wiith women making up over 50% of the population I find it incredible you don't think it is "important".

Of course it is important BM, I'm pulling Uilleam's pisser. That said, I regard the geo-political material more important given its actual and potential consequences.

 

Let's get back to The really important stuff, footy.

It wasn't a great game by any stretch of the imagination not even a good game but we trailed in every department so it's back to the bread and butter stuff of the league run in secure our second place and look forward to better things.

Neither do those who attach themselves to modish 'causes', merely on, it seems, the grounds of their trendiness - 'woke advocates' as you style them.

Is that kind of thing not more your cup of chai?

If he’d been banned recently by his own FA why was he refereeing European matches so soon after ? Were UEFA aware of the ban?

I'm more partial to a decent black coffee.

 

Getting back to the fitbaw.

IMO, the controversy about the referee comes second place to our own failings and poor decision-making.

 

We didn't deserve to go through.

We got a duff referee we gave a duff performance and as a result we’re out on our duffs

Only my opinion, but I think that we got the defensive line up wrong. 

 

Tav should have been on the right and Nsiala in as a centre half. I'd have put Yilmaz on the left, but looking at the strapping on the Turk's hamstring, maybe in hindsight, Jefte was the right option.

 

Thing is though, it was going okish until the unfathomable decision to shunt an effective Diomande out to the left. Thereafter, it was a matter of time.
