“Tackle” on Roofe

[madride]

As stonewall a red as you’ll see but as usual brushed away by the ref.

Sick to death of jobber players having free reign to kick us all over the park

 

[ellis1873]

Agreed. It was absolutely shocking.

 

[CaliforniaBlue1872]

A genuinely reckless challenge

Could have done some serious, serious damage. Cannot get my head round why this is still allowed to go on

 

[WinkieWATP]

He had best get used to it. Fucking disgraceful. How many yellows did they get tonight, 2? Ref was an absolute prick

 

[Thasunke Witko]

Spot on , red every day that ends in a y

 

[mark hateley]

Suprised it wasnt a freekick against Roofe.

Was disgusting, that boot was too high.

 

[davstr]

A disgrace from the player and ref

 

[North East Bear]

Horrendous tackle which looked even worse in the replay.

Straight red all day

 

[Bryanmc]

Shocking challenge clearly left a bit on Roofe although I was impressed with his reaction

 

[Galaxy_Ranger_2017]

Red all day.

They even themselves out over the course of a season.......... So we're told.

 

[Danger Zone]

It was a fucking disgrace and we’re lucky our new signing isn’t already out with a lengthy injury. It’s also not good enough that we as a club let these happen with such regularity without making too much noise.

 

[Bigmo1872]

Straight red for me

 

[WBD]

Yep straight red. Also the piggy HTF can that not be a foul??

 

[JMCK]

Horrible challenge; should have been a red.

 

[david1982]

Just a stonewall red card not given and a stonewall penalty not given.

Scandalous as usual.

 

[weebaggy]

Ref was generally good but that was red all day long

 

[ricksen24]

Red all day shocking tackle

Saints were pretty rash all game and yet again we get zero protection from the ref

 

[benfica65]

The threat to our players tonight was huge. Zero protection from another oaf of a referee.

 

[Falling Duck]

Was a shocker. Roofe had no business getting in that thugs way. How dare he attempt to play football. 100% a red, also the penalty that should have been and the hundred other things Anderson went out his way to cement his name along side the likes of Clancy.

 

[AlbertzLeftBoot]

Red all day long. No attempt to win the ball and wasn’t in control of the challenge. It was every bit as bad as the one at Aberdeen.

 

[Avengers]

I was worried sick for Roofe when I seen it at first. If he made contact with his knee that was it. An absolute shocker, one of our guys did that and he would have seen red. The ref was rotten tonight

 

[Brick_Top]

Stonewall red and stonewall penalty denied in that second half. Several other blatant fouls against us totally ignored, all the while St Johnstone are getting free kicks every time they hit the deck.

Pretty standard refereeing performance for a Rangers game to be honest.

The time to highlight these horrendous decisions is after a good win when you can’t be accused of using it as an excuse.

 

[andy5836]

Red all day, that was as dangerous as it gets without doing serious damage.

I've no idea either how the ref never gave a free kick for us on Hagi when the St. Johnstone player jumped on his back!

 

[Bradbo88]

Now is the time to highlight it. A comfortable victory for us and calling out the ref will mean more than when we drop points, it just looks like sour grapes then.

 

[TommyV]

Ref was a disgrace, should have been a straight red.

Get tripped in the box now means it is not a penalty.

Could see all our players stepping back from 50/50 contests as the tackles were ratcheted up by St Johnstone and they were out to do someone

 

[maisbifanas]

Both decisions were bad. Red wins it though total lunge.

 

[Alan Johnson]

Ref was generally good but that was red all day long

The ref was abysmal,stop talking pish.

 

[Follow Follow All the Way]

Shocker, straight red.

Hot night, poor footballer and was getting run around for 80mins by players far better than him. That was him getting his frustration out.

 

[Craig]

Maybe the compliance officer will pick up on it...

 

[nessboy8]

I have to admit I feared the worst. Thought he'd gotten a serious injury there. Thank god he got up quickly

 

[RFCStu]

Straight red all day. The guilty player looked surprised when the yellow came out.

 

[cav]

I can accept the refs have a difficult job but getting those wrong should see them missing games and doing extra training before they are allowed to take charge of a game again

 

[TommyV]

Maybe the compliance officer will pick up on it...

Got a yellow so ref "dealt" with it

 

[KGR98]

Denied a Stonewall penalty aswell most blatant you will see

 

[ibrox1975]

As stonewall a red as you’ll see but as usual brushed away by the ref.

Sick to death of jobber players having free reign to kick us all over the park

Now that really was a straight red.
Almost by definition, the referee has to answer what he saw here.

 

[Family bam]

Yet another Scottish born mentally challenged trying to make a name for himself.

 

[Chunky Dawz]

We were denied a stonewall penalty for the Itten foul and then that should have been a straight red for the foul on Roofe.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Horrible challenge but it was good to see Roofe get back up and on with it.

 

[BigDGrant]

So many unpunished tackles on our players against hammer throwers.
Tackle on Roofe was a season ender.Ridiculous.

 

[super coop11]

Shocker

Stonewall red

 

[frankie_dux]

a clear red

 

[In Walter We Trust]

Terrible challenge and straight red for me

 

[Brahim Hemdani's Granny]

The refs embolden this behaviour from opposition players when they let obvious bookings go earlier on in the game. St. Johnstone should have had at least 2 or 3 yellows before that, and it's a recurring thing in our games.

Doesn't matter if it's intentional or just clumsy because the opposition player is dugshite - it's dangerous and the ref needs to do their job

After a comfortable win is when to call it out.

 

[Ponientebear]

That’s the thing, the club pay a lot of money for these players but stay silent when they’re booted up and down the park.

 

[Royal Blue 2]

First thing that went through my mind was that he had really done Roofe and the curse had struck again. How on earth is that not a red card ffs.

 

[abz_bear]

Won’t be the last either. Scumbag tackle and scumbag ref.

 

[cambie gers]

An absolute shocker. Should have been red. For a few seconds I thought Roofe was seriously injured, which would have been fuckin typical but thankfully he is OK.

 

[Sirwatty]

I'm surprised the ref even showed a card. We're Rangers and we're fair game in the eyes of ALL officials. No one cant tell me otherwise that the officials in this country are out to do as much harm to us as they possibly can.

 

[Vince]

Compare and contrast to how easily Morelos gets a red. Nothing more than double standards on a weekly basis. Corrupt refs and incompetent refs ... the end result for us is they are our biggest threat this season.
