In fairness to Radio Scotland

I couldn't watch game and so relied on the radio.

You mugs believe we won easily with a tremendous second half performance. Ha!

Thankfully I'm aware that it was a controversial game ruined by the referee and officials. St J were robbed by poor decisions.

So think carefully about us armchair (car driving) fans who get the real facts.

Clyde were the opposite Rangers deserved to win some strange decisions from the ref for both sides

There were only two debatable decisions that could have changed the final result,
1. the incredulous failure to award a penalty to Rangers for a clear handball and
2. the failure to call Defoe offside in the process of scoring Rangers 4th goal.

There is no way the media should be allowed to even dare say that St Johnstone were the victims of a game changing decision, video evidence cleary shows the ball was no where near over the line.
 
I would rather listen to Snyde than that pish. Actually, tin hat on, quite enjoy SSB on a Saturday if us and the scum are playing the Sunday.

There were two major decisions the officials got wrong today and I watched BT & saw replays.

We should clearly have had a penalty at 2.0 for Davidson’s arm to ball and then Defoe’s second goal was offside.

To me that’s a fair summary NM.

BBC scotland are an utter disgrace, Dick Gordon rampage at full time about the goal that never was peak bbc witch hunt, proclaiming that we will see on sportscene tonight for an full autopsy. Terrible

Can I look forward to his mea culpa, or am I being, not naive, just a W⚓?

Perfect summary mate.

Re the Defoe 'offside' goal - have a look at the still picture and see the line drawn across the pitch. Yes, Defoe looks offside but look at the
St. Johnstone defender's arm. It is outstretched and plays Defoe onside. The TV people operating the 'offside line' technology are focusing on heads, legs, feet and torso but overlook the fact that defenders can score own goals with their arms and hands. Every part of a defender's anatomy counts in an offside situation.
 
The arm is the one part of the body that does not determines whether a player is either on or offside, end of shoulder is as far as it goes (if that makes any sense).

Last resort, I've been there, try open all mics for a real eye opener.

I had to listen today as well, 2nd half on radio and the first on the FF match thread, thankfully we won, read the first half of the match thread and then let me know what desperate is!!!!

My mate’s bird (no pics obviously) is friends with his wife. They have been at parties together and socialised and apparently all he can talk about are the bheasts. I thought it was even more pertinent given that my mate and his bird aren’t into football at all, so they wouldn’t even be listening out for it. It must have been bad.

Might be something to do with their reporter being told to leave the after match press conference, apparently Tommy Wright isn’t too happy with Snyde.
 
Having lived in England for many years, I've not had the misfortune to have watched Sportscene in all that time. So, who is Tossgrope?

Pretty sure there was two dodgy offside decisions that went against us in the first half at 0-0 that could have been crucial. On both occassions we looked potentially in on goal. Don't expect them to be shown on Sportscene though.
 
Gordon squeals like a spoiled child having a tantrum anytime we get any sort of decision going our way. He simply cannot hide his small minded anti Rangers feelings, and for a so called “professional” commentator, who should be neutral in his role, it’s staggering.

There are umpteen examples but I still remember years ago being one down at Dens with a makeshift team & we equalised. The silence was broken only by Gordon spitting out the words “och, it’s an own goal!”

Barker one definitely looked wrong but seeing it was the Tory MSP that favours Rangers all the time , they couldn't have been wrong.
