A Rangers side unbeaten in the league, who've conceded 7 goals all season, and folk are thinking our best chance is to go bollocks out. Mad.

Melbourne Saint Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 We need Neil Simpson to even things up. Durrant not enough. Break Morelos'leg & do Roofe's ACL & pcl for good measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the ball under immediate safety concerns? Security scare? Roofe's clearly looking at where he's making contact, not the ball. And studs up.

garydavidson Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 What does it matter if there was malic in it or not? It was a reckless challenge. I would be happy to accept their excuses if that was applied the same across the board but it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 There is no advantage for Saints in Roofe being banned as it will only assist the team's they are about to play especially with Morelos being out. Stumpy1949 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejksjfc Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 The referee is as much to blame here as Roofe, the speed at which he got his card out (wullie Collum would have been proud of him) shows he clearly saw the incident, how he can justify yellow rather than red beggars belief.

They totally stuffed out Tavernier by playing a man wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 There's little point in Davidson demanding justice and screaming blue murder. Say it's a red card, say it affected the potential outcome of the game and move on. We're never getting decisions against Rangers, now or in the future. Johnny B, mainstand and SaintJet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 I don't see the point in the club moaning about a refereeing decision. The ref got it wrong, it happens. Changing it from a yellow to a red now doesn't do anything to help Saints. In fact it's probably more likely to help one of our league rivals who would benefit from the player being suspended. I'd rather concentrate on the fact that Saints handled the game very well and were probably unlucky not to get a point out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree there is no point now in trying to get him banned, he is just one of a number of Rangers* players who play with a snarl on their face.

mainstand Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 there are a couple of tweets with photos that are doing the rounds which show that the injury is not related to the tackle. Not sure if these are right or not, but the physio is treating his Muzzs right leg where the tackle is on his left leg. Having watched it again it looks like the injury and the tackle are separate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps but many fans, including myself, get the feeling that officials overseeing the Ibrox teams' matches endeavour to award the minimum possible penalty towards their players. Of course some refs, along with their associated officials, just don't see the fouls at all or maybe choose not to attract the refs' attention?

Bridgendboy Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Thought that he got injured putting in a tackle earlier saw him taking a while to get up then limping away. Not that I’m excusing the Roofe tackle which was an obvious red but time to move on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintdunc Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 1. Tackle was reckless, and potentially more dangerous than the David Luis tackle that saw him get sent off the other night. 2. What did you make of James Brown in his 65 minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
