Arfield given a two-game ban for an offence that was a yellow card at best?
Ffsake we are being fckd over royally.
It was a clear red, mate.
It was a red barely, absolutely no way it warranted a 2 match ban.
Not according to an expert who had time and opportunity to study it rather than have to make a knee-jerk reaction in the heat of the moment.It was a clear red, mate.
Is it not a 2 game ban if the ref deems it violent conduct?If Arfield got a 2 game ban then one game would be for exceeding a points threshold, which means the 2nd game would be 14 days later, so Hamilton rather than this weekend?

So not that fckn clear then...eh?
I wonder what decision that 'expert' would have made in the heat of the moment. He has had time and seen it a few times and still got it wrong. It was a redNot according to an expert who had time and opportunity to study it rather than have to make a knee-jerk reaction in the heat of the moment.

Not to mention the fact our manager agreed and we never appealed, it tells it’s own story. The 2 games is a bit of a mystery though unless it was 2 for a straight red rather than a second bookingI wonder what decision that 'expert' would have made in the heat of the moment.

I'm not sure how suspensions work tbh , have the club not confirmed how many games he's missing?Not to mention the fact our manager agreed and we never appealed, it tells it’s own story. The 2 games is a bit of a mystery though unless it was 2 for a straight red rather than a second booking
Some said the same about AberdeenNah we’ll skud Dundee.
Ah so you are more expert than the expert. They are asking the wrong experts.I wonder what decision that 'expert' would have made in the heat of the moment. He has had time and seen it a few times and still got it wrong. It was a red
We do not need two sitting midfielders against dundee.Kent Grezda & Candeias in behind Lafferty.
Jack & McCrorie sitting.
Halliday or Barasic left back.
That'll beat Dundee comfortably.
If I get this right you are questioning one expert (ref on the day) over another unnamed expert . I never at any point said I'm an expert but it was a red in my unexpert opinionAh so you are more expert than the expert. They are asking the wrong experts.
Our manager was being diplomatic and tactical.Not to mention the fact our manager agreed and we never appealed, it tells it’s own story. The 2 games is a bit of a mystery though unless it was 2 for a straight red rather than a second booking
Good.If I get this right you are questioning one expert (ref on the day) over another unnamed expert . I never at any point said I'm an expert but it was a red in my unexpert opinion
Go where you like expertGood.
We have got there.
I am going with the expert.
If Arfield got a 2 game ban then one game would be for exceeding a points threshold, which means the 2nd game would be 14 days later, so Hamilton rather than this weekend?
Arfield’s red was a two game ban, nothing to do with the threshold. I think he’s sitting at four or five bookings which means he’s still at risk of another suspension soon.What game does morelos miss for his red on Wednesday? Hopefully Hamilton txt week?
Still always seem capable to give us a very tough 90 minutes, no matter how bad they are.Dundee are rotten
Panty wetters at it again.
We are Rangers FFS.
Really wouldn’t go into the trenches with some of you
No, I am not the expert as you know, but we heard what the expert said on the day.Go where you like expert
As I've said imo it was red. As you've just said there, the ball wasn't in play when Arfield connected with the keeper. Keeper did make mountain out of a molehill but generally speaking most keepers would in that situation. Bt expert didn't see incident in real time on the pitch and has no authority. His statement is like mine or yours , just opinion.I Can't speak for the managers decision not to appealNo, I am not the expert as you know, but we heard what the expert said on the day.
The club didn't make much of this for tactical reasons.
But in my opinion, they should have.
There is another club in Glasgow that would have hung every hat they had on the comment of this expert.
I said at the time it was a yellow.
The ball was in play when Arfield challenged for it, and not with two feet as has been reported.
A split second later it wasn't in play.
However, the reaction of the goalkeeper told us everything.
First of all he thought he had conceded a goal and immediately acted as if he was mortally wounded, then instantly changed his mind to instead attack Arfield for his audacity at trying to score a goal, confirming that at no time was he injured by the challenge.
The referee under the same influence as every other referee in Scotland saw his opportunity to prove his 'non Rangers bias' credentials which in his mind would keep the press from the door.
Sadly for him it wasn't to be, you need to do more than send a Rangers player off nowadays to ensure this, instead, you have to ensure that Rangers lose points and he failed in that.
Like you I am no expert, but my instant take at the time was it was no more than the high end of a yellow.
I will watch with interest to see if this situation arises again how it is dealt with in Scotland.
If you want an example of a dangerous out of control challenge that is late and deserving of a red, .....see Shinnie on McAuley during the week.
No offence intended but 2 sitting midfielders against anyone never mind dundee is nonsense. We should be going all out to blitz teams likeKent Grezda & Candeias in behind Lafferty.
Jack & McCrorie sitting.
Halliday or Barasic left back.
That'll beat Dundee comfortably.
I thought we’d have been able to beat Aberdeen, think Arfield is really important. So is Alfie.
Which is good because he seems this score against them!Arfield’s red was a two game ban, nothing to do with the threshold. I think he’s sitting at four or five bookings which means he’s still at risk of another suspension soon.
Morelos was already suspend3d for this game due to reaching the booking threshold. His red the other night incurs an automatic one game ban, which transfers on to the Hamilton game.
Arfield should be back for the Hamilton game, Morelos for Hibs at Easter Road
this is a problem IMO
It depends. We cannot go with a midfield of Jack , Ejaria, and Coulibaly and expect to beat anyone. Two of them only pass backwards and the other doesn't do anything at all.
