Say What Again Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Rangers were brutal in that Cup tie. Some of the challenges flying in were a disgrace and it's very doubtful other clubs players would have been met with such leniency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereward Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Rangers were brutal in that Cup tie. Some of the challenges flying in were a disgrace and it's very doubtful other clubs players would have been met with such leniency. I agree with this. There were the two early bookings and then Lafferty on the half hour then, shockingly, the referee just stopped taking action against the disgraceful tackling by Rangers. No idea how McCulloch stayed on the pitch, oh wait, Ibrox ... in the cup ... never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious post,I watched the game and the treatment he got WAS brutal and at the end of the day it worked because Emerenko disappeared after he realized he would not get any protection from ANY of the officials.

No idea how McCulloch stayed on the pitch, oh wait, Ibrox ... in the cup ... never mind. Naismiths second yellow in the cup match might tend to suggest otherwise? However I'm never sure if it's even worth giving a Rangers player a yellow or not, since it tends to give them a free reign after that with the Ref knowing he's got only one, nah lets call it three, yellow card tackles left before he gets........a stiff lecture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzyonthefence Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Have to agree with McCoist - they don't target anybody for special attention - they just kick and elbow everybody in the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. With another ref It's quite possible Naisy might have received only a stiff lecture for the tackle that got him his 1st yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Alexander Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 The daily record article is from the 4th of February and the Scotsman article is from the 9th of February. You are looking at the wrong date - both are from the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 You can start sounding hypocritical in these types of debate. The bottom line is, its up to the ref to govern the game properly. I want Hearts to be full blooded and compete, ffs its a physical game, but its simply down to the referee to be strong enough to stamp out any untoward behaviour or over the top contact. yes, maybe other clubs wouldn`t get away with what Rangers do but all the same they go out to compete like winners and we should do that more.

Was thinking this today... I think that -within reason- I would rather we were allowed to get away with some of the physicality Rangers do, rather than them be pedanticaly pulled up for any little thing like the rest of us.
