I’d be inclined to suggest it’s some form of grievance over a perceived lack of punishment for the chap currently ranked as Scotland’s top referee compared to how others have been dealt with
Fwiw, I’ve always disagreed with the concept of punitive coaching over mistakes, particularly easy to make ones
Punitive results for the cup final, and the Dio red card are perfectly reasonable
No. Sackings would have been not only reasonable, but the only way to reassure the Scottish footballing public that there is indeed accountability (Collum's words) for 'unacceptable mistakes' (again Collum's words) being made in Scottish football.
Do I need to remind you that Connor and Muir actually over ruled the very process that VAR was brought in to do? That is, do away with the 'clear and obvious error' excuse.
There was no 'human error' as Ian Maxwell was urgently at pains to point out in this case. VAR, clearly showed the incident in the LC final was a penalty. The VAR team, all three (I'm including Dallas, the paper boy/office junior here) actually ignored VAR evidence.
It is a sacking offence all day long. No ifs, no buts, no maybes and no punitive measures. Of which there was none.
Unless of course you wish to include deliberately hiding them out of site/giving them a breather/taking them out of the limelight for 90 minutes till the dust had settled down before giving one of them a gig at the cesspit immediately afterwards as punishment. You might. The rest of the Rangers support don't.
As for Tannadice and Dio's red card? It can be only a sacking offence. There is no viable alternative.
Walsh's decision to double down on the automatic red card, just like his refusal to yellow card McGregor at Ibrox on Jan 2nd is all the evidence, not that we need any, of this odious individual's hate of Rangers Football Club and the corruption that him and his ilk are now accustomed to getting away with, that is required.
There were two angles available to Walsh, the one that he was going with no matter what and the other one, the side angle, that a blind man, with Conjunctovitis thrown in for good measure, can see completely exonerates Dio.
Yet Walsh decides to go with his initial red carding of the Rangers player? That's not 'an error of judgement.' That was a Fcuk you.
Into the bargain when the referee watches the replays he sees the actions of two Dundee Utd players involved in the 'Dio incident' that he should or has to address also. Yet he summarily ignores and dismisses the actions of both Utd players. That's not an accident, this is deliberate on Walsh's part.
Incidentally, when we had the subsequent whitewa.. oops, sorry, rescinding of Dio's red card, the VAR team also conveniently miss the actions of the two Dundee Utd players in all of the ensuing 'melee.'
The bottom line and the message being. 'We had to let the Orange bastard off the hook, as he didn't do anything wrong, but we'll be fucked if we're taking any action against the real culprits'.
So you can stick your punitive results where the sun don't shine. And the very fact you have thought they would have been not unreasonable in the first place, shows how hooked and corrupt both incidents and the subsequent non punishments of the culprits actually were.
.might aswell make money off the corruption
