ZacBaker Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Have a look at this! Don't know fi any of you have noticed, but when it shows Lafferty after the incident, hes walking away, he has a sly wee wink at his own bench, before touching his nose to make sure it's okey Awwwww Good to see the SPL are punishing him too, im shocked tbh! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/8054856.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambojim52 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Oh yes they are doing something, BUT not until next season! Where's the outrage from Gordon Smith? Where's the media's rant about cheating? Everyone and their dog knows he cheated and how hard would it be to ban him for the next three or more games, starting NOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Bapswent Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 IMO this is much worse than anything Miko did. Lafferty has not only conned the ref deliberately, he got a man sent off. It wasnt during the run of play. It was during dead ball time. It was considered, and involved a huge abmout of deliberate play acting to completely force the referees hand into making a potentially game changing decision. Afterwards he pretty much admitted it by winking. He was caught with a deliberate ploy to gain an unfair advatange at the expense of another player/team. Im not sure there is much worse behaviour outwith racial or physical assault in the game of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both disgusting little scrotes, no point defending one over the other. And how difficult is it for people to understand that people went mental because Miko cheated against our country.

(Not you) The issue though is that Miko was punished correctly. Very unlikely Lafferty will be as it would involve admitting the OF cheat. Interesting to hear that Caldo is publically doing his nut over this........oh wait a minute. Tosser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest S.U.S.S. Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Would so many of the usual suspects be so upset if it was a Celtic player taking a dive. I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 So one is considered worse than the other. How is that defending? If you want to be petty then I never once said you were defending Miko. I said no point in defending one over the other as they were both bad. Carry on though, I was just making my point that both forced the referee into making a game changing decision so you can't say one is worse than the other.

dallan Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 First thought when it happened - Justice. I know Big Zal has proven to be a liability but can't remember Fat Caldo getting upset at the carry on earlier in the season when it was clear his player managed to get an opponent sent off in very similar circumstances.... I was waiting to hear his bluster and all we got was how it's unusual for British players to behave like that - eh Laferty, Miller etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougc Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Calderwood after Hearts game "I feel cheated", "Hearts players were falling about", "Trying to get people booked", "Total disgust" Calderwood after Rangers game 3 days later when EVERYONE else including the player himself admits he took a dive "I never seen it" How blatant is his bias ?

Fozzyonthefence Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I think we would be much better comparing the Lafferty incident to the Velicka one against Falkirk (Darren Barr?) a couple of seasons back, rather than Miko, as these were the same offences - both feigning injury from a supposed headbutt to get a player sent off. Velicka was rightly giving a ban afterwards for his embarrasing playacting - think it was 2 or 3 ganmes so we should be looking for the same for Lafferty. I have to say though, I don't remember Hearts dealing with it as quickly (at all?) as Rangers have. Rangers may not have any standards as far as their fans go but at least their management comes out of this well again imo, like they did with their quick action against Ferguson & McGregor.

alwaysthereinspirit Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Lafferty has apoligised on the Rankgers club page and has said "what he did was wrong and not the Rankgers way" Not the Rankgers way? Did he just land here from another planet? It's been the OF way for as long as I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearts_crazy Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Feckin outrageous behaviour, and his words on the subject have a bit of a hollow, ring to them. A generic sorry I did..... type statement, well rehearsed. He's not sorry, he knew exactly what he was doing and the only reason he is coming out and publicly apologising is because Rangers don't want him banned. Mind you, I doubt it would even be getting debated if it hadn't been so glaringly obvious in extreme close up. Not the first time blatant cheating has been swept under the carpet when it involves an OF player. Talking about diving bassas, good to see Nakamura getting denied a stonewall penalty due to his reputation preceding him. GIRFUY ya wee bawbag, what goes around comes around.

No, Velicka did not feign injury. He fell backwards when confronted by Barr, at no point did he put his hands to his face, he jumped back to his feet immediately. So there is no comparison.

The players admitted it. The club know he did it. Rangers must ACT NOW with this player. But they wont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
