Butland's booking

[hms]

Horrendous, bizarre & horrendous.

 

[ArfieldSalute]

Rat showing his true colours booking Butland for that. Was never a foul never mind a booking

 

[LoyalRanger_72]

Never seen such a decision watching football. What was Walsh thinking?

Walsh is a cheating bastard

 

[smileyteddybear]

Can guarantee you that if Hart makes same challenge you wouldn’t get that award

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

Mental that he gets his first booking for absolutely nothing as well.

First to the ball as well.

hope that St Mirren player is at least missing some teeth.

I seen someone say if that if a legit foul then its surely a red card.

Needs called out anyway.

 

[CENTURISAR]

The striker was never winning the ball and he’s threw himself in there.

Never a booking, poor decision.

 

[Pentasa]

Eilidh Barbour seemed quite uncomfortable when Boyd brought it up, doesn't suit the narrative that Refs are pro Rangers

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Outrageous frim the vertically challenged Tim with a whistle.

 

[bud_light]

Craig Gordon has made a career out of challenges like that

 

[RAFBob]

First to the ball as well.

Needs called out anyway.

I would probably think a red would be merited if they thought it was a genuine foul, last man etc?

He won't be missing any teeth, replay shows his arms are the only thing that makes contact with Butland.

Crazy to see that given as a foul.

I wonder how many strange decisions will be made in other games today.

 

[GR3RFC]

A nonsense.

Unfortunate for the boy who got hit but that’s never a foul never mind a booking.

 

[dublinbluenose]

The St Mirren player technically runs into him. It was a foul on Butland clearly for me.

It was exactly this.jack is mid air after clearing the ball.where the hell was he meant to go and it’s the st Mirren player that runs into him!!!!

 

[nasalsinatra]

Disgraceful decision by Walsh. Butland was clearly first to the ball and it was well clear. What did Walsh expect? Butland to step aside? Walsh used to be decent. What has happened to him?

 

[bad boy boogie]

You thinking what we're all thinking?

Aye....old firm on horizon

 

[Thornliebank_Bear]

Was such a quiet match so easy to ref i was starting to think we might see 90 mins without any mad(biased) decisions... i was wrong. I am sure someone will be on to explain that is actually excellent refereeing ofcourse.

 

[McQueen]

I couldn’t believe it. And to give a foul as well.

 

[derek145]

Walsh knew exactly what he was doing

I was waiting for the red card but then VAR would have stepped in

 

[Cambuslangger]

An absolute shocker. He should be demoted for a few weeks. Terrible.

No, Nick Walsh is a shite referee, he is the hard part of the massive jobbie that make up the SFA Referees.

 

[fenno84]

Disgrace of a decision. And the impact it could have had on the title if they'd scored from the free kick

 

[aayjay]

Maybe the worst refereeing decision you will ever see. Walsh ! What an utter clown. It was Butland's ball all day long. Idiot St Boo player should have backed out but runs into JB. Just unbelievable Walsh doing his best to get them an equaliser.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Brilliant from Butland. Ridiculous from Walsh who is as incompetent as they come.

 

[Trident660]

Should be enough to see Walsh sacked.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

Farcical from the little rat bastard.

This, one player could have prevented the clash and it wasn't Butland

that's what I'm thinking.

but he wasn't out of control, yes he came out at pace and off his feet but it was at least 60-40 in his favour.

at no time was he out of control.

 

[Badger]

The player takes about 2 steps after Butland makes contact, how can that be a foul. He's committed at pace to try win a ball he has no chance of winning and his momentum makes him foul Butland!

 

[hhss]

Rangers should be making some noise about this. Irrelevant that it came to nothing, let these bastards know we’re watching everything.

 

[RAFBob]

that's what I'm thinking.

but he wasn't out of control, yes he came out at pace and off his feet but it was at least 60-40 in his favour.

at no time was he out of control.

Not even close to what could be considered as reckless or out of control, he wasn't endangering an opponent at any point.

Terrible refereeing once again.

 

[CLSFB]

In the pub and literally came on just to talk about this. An absolute fucking disgraceful decision.

What annoys me more than anything the lady's front bottom that went through the back of Dessers ten minutes before and doesn’t even get booked.

Guys a wanker.

 

[Gazzabear v2.0]

For me the St Mitten player is going in to a 60/40 against him, at best, he should have pulled out, Butland plays ball and player runs into him, it's a free kick to us, never mind a free kick to them and a booking ffs

 

[Talktalk]

Never seen such a decision watching football. What was Walsh thinking?

If he booked him then there may well be a second opportunity later on to send him off. Walsh took a gamble

 

[top_cat]

It was a genuinely terrible decision, not sure what he saw that none of us saw.

What pub ?

 

[Badger]

Wins the ball about 2 foot before the lad runs into him.

Exactly. The balls almost out the park before the contact is made!

 

[imvaison]

Absolute bloody farce. Butland did everything right but the officials saw an opportunity to hand the opposition a chance to score from a very dangerous position.
Butland man of the match.

 

[insanicdrunk]

Not even close to what could be considered as reckless or out of control, he wasn't endangering an opponent at any point.

Terrible refereeing once again.

This, his kicking leg was well away and his non kicking leg is tucked in, he runs into SJB.

 

[Bryanmc]

I actually can’t get my head round it

 

[HarryBosch]

I know we can't call out every decision against us, but this was on another level.

There was nothing subjective about this. The player came in late on a goalkeeper and won a foul and a booking.

You could spend years trolling through video archives and never find a similar decision given

This is how I see it. Bookings are generally subjective, but this was just unfathomable. He hadn't even blown for a foul, so who changed his mind?

We 100 % should be hammering this point home.

 

[Thornliebank_Bear]

No, Nick Walsh is a shite referee, he is the hard part of the massive jobbie that make up the SFA Referees.

Really i thought he was our best referee.

We are about to make it through another season of these shite refs making terrible decisions, and none of them ever going our way.

 

[basiltherat]

It was clearly Butland's ball to clear. He was always getting there first. If any player should be pulling out it's the St Mirren one. He's running down a ball he knows he's not getting to, gets there late (not surprisingly) and got hurt. If the contact had hurt Butland it would probably have been a foul to us. Fouls are not supposed to be awarded on the basis of who gets hurt the most but on the perpetrator of the non ball winning contact. That was not Butland

 

[HarryBosch]

Can guarantee you that if Hart makes same challenge you wouldn’t get that award

It's not even a challenge. Its a clearance

 

[Class of 72]

When you look at that booking and then look at some of the challenges that go on our players without even a FK yiu know the game is rotten to the core in Scotland.

 

[DJ Blue]

Butland's save though...

[Snakehips]

Only 2 possible scenarios here:

1) Walsh is a Celtic fan and was trying to help St Mirren score and thus help Celtic win the league.

Or;

2) Walsh has just won an illegal foreign betting syndicate a lot of money on an anytime booking for Butland.

 

[Blootoonboy]

That isnt a foul anywhere else in world football, never mind a yellow for the keeper.

The fact Butland is a Rangers player says it all…

 

[Gauche.]

I think the ref was thinking of giving Super Jack a red card.
But changed his mind as he knew even he would not get away with that level of cheating.

 

[Deco1978]

Punished for getting to the ball first.

 

[CLSFB]

What pub ?

Bar 67

 

[Goity]

Quite simply outrageous. Clearly wins the ball by a distance then collides with the St Mirren player. A terrible decision from Walsh.

The St Mirren player collided with Butland, not the other way around. Which makes it even more ridiculous that it was given as a foul, never mind a yellow card.
