“Tackle” on Roofe

[Man on the post]

Nasty challenge red all day

 

[The Royal Standard]

Definite red . An easy decision.

 

[Scenester87]

Glad he got up. Was a shocker.

 

[Edweird]

Here we go again. Again.
Penalty first.

 

[maxblue]

Should have been a straight red it was a shocking tackle

 

[Kirbys House]

It was a brutal assault.

As someone said in the match thread, when Kent (I think it was) got done & the boy didn't even get booked, the dirty bassas then know they can get away with more of the same. Which will eventually seriously injure one of our players.

Hope SG calls out the officiating.

 

[Gers4life1872]

Red for me..

 

[Watsimo]

A total shocker, hoping Gerrard brings it up in his interview and get the pressure back on the officials.

 

[IrvineLoyal]

The ref was a disgrace and on another night decisions like that can cost us points

 

[Grei9]

Ref was generally good but that was red all day long

Only missed a blatant pen a red and failed to give a free kick for a rugby tackle on Hagi

 

[Chocolateleftfoot]

Here we go again. Again.
Penalty first.

That's incredible that's not a red.

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

Red all day and calculated on a player with recent injury problems

 

[CumbrianBear]

Watching that performance from the ref, it’s almost as if because we are winning and playing well he gives them an easy ride. No I’m not going to give a red, your 3-0 up and cruising it. Rather than following the actual
Rules of the game

 

[Topps]

Ref was generally good but that was red all day long

The ref was not good at all. If he wasnt getting in the way of the play itself he was missing the most obvious fouls you could see.

 

[Edweird]

That's incredible that's not a red.

Not really

 

[DazRFC]

As clear a red as you'll ever see.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Here we go again. Again.
Penalty first.

Stonewall penalty and red card.

 

[chablue1]

straight red
that tackle could have ended his career
every time i watch it it gets worse

He probably won’t but he should. This silence in these situations is a big part of the problem.

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

Why was he generally good , missed a straight red and a stonewall penalty.

 

[Krissie]

defo red.

 

[mustn’t grumble]

That ref was shocking tonight!

 

[Kirbys House]

He probably won’t but he should. This silence in these situations is a big part of the problem.

He just said there he doesn't mind the physicality as long as it's done in the right way. No mention of the specific assault which is a bit disappointing.

 

[Mabearette]

assault is the only word to describe what that player did to Roofe

 

[Numan5]

Awful tackle

 

[ClubDeck4JH]

How can any Ref deem that as a yellow, it was an assault.

 

[DavieJD]

How the ref can deem that only a yellow card is ridiculous.

 

[Arminius]

“Referees know what’s at stake this year”

 

[Stephen Johnston]

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

A 19th Century Terrorist trying to make a name for himself.

 

[Jaws II]

That wasn’t a tackle it was an assault.

 

[JD1872]

Dangerous, could easily have been badly injured. The ref gave them the benefit of the doubt all night , you could see Gerrard shaking his head at some of the decisions

 

[Vince]

He just said there he doesn't mind the physicality as long as it's done in the right way. No mention of the specific assault which is a bit disappointing.

I like him as a manager, but I felt even last season this naive nice guy routine with these refs is probably going to cost him his job up here. I said that after the last game at parkhead when we seen levels of corruption that nine times out of ten we don’t overcome ..... yet we said nothing!

It was out of control. Roofe was just lucky that he never got injured.

 

[chilebear]

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

When I saw that tackle I thought, here we effing go again.

 

[cm72]

Ref was generally good but that was red all day long

Ref was what? You sure you were watching same game as us tonight mate? The ref was honking!

 

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

Roofe was lucky that it didn’t clip his knee. Disgusting “tackle”.

 

[jweebear]

If it's one of our players doing that tackle, St Johnstone players mock indignation, in the refs face, red card. But our players just take it.

 

[Barrymoped]

It was a definite red card, no question. The ref was very generous only to give him a yellow.

 

[chilebear]

Here we go again. Again.
Penalty first.

Shocking tackle

 

[Rio Loyal]

A total shocker should have been off and yellow carded before that as well .

 

[cm72]

Who's the head of refs because he's a fuckin half wit of the highest level! Some of the stuff they let go is horrendous!!

 

[bertiebombscare]

Red card all day. Just pleased he looked ok afterwards.

 

[cm72]

Shocking tackle

Look how high his foot was off the ground and leading with the studs! You won't see a clearer red than that for the rest of this season!

 

[True Blue]

An absolutely disgraceful challenge that was a straight red card all the way.
Thankfully didn't cause a bad injury but the recklessness and malice in that challenge was clear.

 

[bjorklund-by-the-sea]

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

Red card all day long. Ref didn’t want the grief. If the game had been tight I expect he’d have gone but you should never expect anything from refs here.

 

[347golfer]

Not a pen for me but a straight red card all day long even in real time never mind with the benefit of a slowmo replay.

 

[Thommo2006]

Get used to it, it was exactly the same last season. There were 4 tackles in the first half that were clear fouls but not given.

 

[bluenose1977]

Absolutely awful challenge. Red all day long.

 

[Highland Gers]

Shocking challenge- straight red without a doubt

 

[IbroxForever]

Refs are corrupt, were at the point of its pointless even talking about individual incidents now.



We need to start putting this stuff on our website ever week to highlight the corruption.
