Whether he meant it or not it's a high boot and its unnatural position for leg to be so it's endangering somebody that goes in to header it

Don’t have a link and no C &P since I’m on phone. “I thought Power went for the ball, he caught Jacko and got a yello. I don’t think he tried to take Jackos face off...”
Sometimes I wish our players would just shut the fk up.

What's wrong with that?Don’t have a link and no C &P since I’m on phone. “I thought Power went for the ball, he caught Jacko and got a yello. I don’t think he tried to take Jackos face off...”

“I don’t think he tried to tak Jackos face off” is the line that’s causing the issues for folk but if you are being brutally honest he didn’t, his actions can’t been deemed as him trying to kick Jack. Nobody can say he looked at that bouncing ball and his first thought was ‘I’m going to boot Ryan Jack’ on the coupon he attacked the ball the wrong way, it was dangerous play but it wasn’t malicious play.
There have been people who have gone out their way to hurt others in the past look at the picture of that animals tackle on Durrant, look at Keane when he snaps Alf-Inge Haaland these are deliberate acts.
It was a red all day long but for dangerous play that I think is what Scott Arfield is meaning. The referee made the wrong decision and that’s were the problem lies.
Give it another fortnight and Defoe will be a diver, just like Morelos became a hothead thanks solely to the media.
When this comes to pass, I hope someone in a position to do so points out that 36 year old Jermain Defoe who made his professional debut at the age of 17, and is widely regarded as one of the best strikers of his generation, as well as being an all round good guy, suddenly becomes a diver in the tinpot backwater of Scottish football.
Because they will run with this angle. A throwaway line in a report, a couple of comments by pundits, then Crocker and MacLean start their questioning of every time he's scythed down. After that, BBC Scotland will run a discussion "Defoe - Dynamo or diver?" On this show, Alex Rae, Derek Ferguson and Tom English will give their opinions about how Defoe has always had that side to his game, and he's come up here and thought he'd get away with it against the good honest pros in the SPFL.
No idea why Arfield came out with this. Not clever imo.
What would you like him to say instead?
Professionals don’t tend to call out their fellow footballers in the way in which I’m guessing you would like Arfield to do so in this case.
Also, don’t tell our players to “shut the fuck up”. It makes you look stupid.
Unbelievably that article doesn't show the contact. Anyone reading that could think it was an innocuous challenge. As they say a picture paints a thousand words or not in this case.

Say nothing, no comment and all that.What would you like him to say instead?

Shouldn't have commented.
He was asked about it.
Was he under oath?
No but he was just doing his job.
No he wasn't. His job is to play football for Rangers. Of course he has media obligations as part of that, but he doesn't have to answer every question.
Fair enough if that his his own honest opinion (he is wrong for what it's worth), however after the week of scrutiny we have been subjected to regarding on field discipline, one of our own employees has to be a bit smarter!
I don't think he meant but that doesn't really matter it's bloody dangerous play.Don’t have a link and no C &P since I’m on phone. “I thought Power went for the ball, he caught Jacko and got a yello. I don’t think he tried to take Jackos face off...”
Sometimes I wish our players would just shut the fk up.
So he should've refused to answer questions he didn't like and create even bigger and more unnecessary headlines?
Give the guy a break ffs.
Refuse? No
Be a hell of a lot smarter? Absolutely!
I agree but going by a lot of comments on here about a lot of things spec savers would make a fortune selling on here.You make a well thought, studied comment based on watching an incident a couple of times (trying not looking through blue tinted specs) and you get sarcastic or down right cheeky comments back.Don’t have a link and no C &P since I’m on phone. “I thought Power went for the ball, he caught Jacko and got a yello. I don’t think he tried to take Jackos face off...”

That's exactly what happened though... Has he said anything wrong?Don’t have a link and no C &P since I’m on phone. “I thought Power went for the ball, he caught Jacko and got a yello. I don’t think he tried to take Jackos face off...”

"Be a hell of a lot smarter". In other words give an opinion that you agree with.
Are you at the wind-up or on drugs? Clubfoot today calling Defoe a “Diver” McKenna of the sheep, various Killie players and more all calling out our players for “over the top” tackles. Our manager just came out and said that he hopes for some “consistency” and he basically contradicts him. Again. This is why we as a club get shat all over. Too gullible by far. So yes. He should shut the fk up and say nothing especially when there are concentrated campaigns agains our players. Or did you miss the Morelos ban and the offer of a ban to McGregor through your drug haze?
No but he was just doing his job.
That's why he will probably get one then, I await Clarke's comments.He’s probably Kilmarnock’s most important player this year and a ban would see him miss the Celtic game would it not?
He was asked about it.
Doing his job? Undermining his manager and playing poorly isnt doing his job.
And a no comment would have been far better than the stuff that he actually said.
"Won't be commenting on refereeing decisions " job done .He was asked about it.
Not long now until Defoe is labelled a serial diver by the media and is cited for diving.I see, as predicted, the Defoe “diving” issue has now become centre stage.
Whilst what I can genuinely say is one of the worst dives I have ever seen by Burke in his Rings strip has been completely ignored by the media.
Why is he talking to that anti Rangers crowd anyway,Whether he meant it or not it's a high boot and its unnatural position for leg to be so it's endangering somebody that goes in to header it

Without a doubt.Follows on from the deafening silence for the club, while we have opposing players and managers making derogatory remarks about us left, right and centre we’re still doing the nicey nicey routine.
We really are the most naive clubs in football.
I don't see what he adds to our midfield any way I just don't rate him.And how exactly did he do that?
Oh right and see where that class has got us over the years.Our players just have more class than other clubs.
There's no doubt jack would have got sent off for that type of challenge and if he didnt there would be a mhedia campaign by rabids like Sutton and Hartson and others to get the compliance officer involved.
Something is rotten and hopefully people upstairs at Ibrox will fight back big time.
