Kent booking

[Wade Wilson]

Is there anything more against the spirit of the game than booking a player for celebrating with the fans?

Surely the times have changed where a player can show a bit of passion with the punters who have paid their money to come watch a game of football

I understand certain actions can call for it (Adebayor against arsenal for instance) but I’m genuinely lost as to the reasoning for it.

I know it’s been in the rules for years now, but surely the game has progressed where a bit of passion shouldn’t be punished

Not the post pressing need, just annoyed me

Stupid booking, we all know it results in a booking so why do it.

 

[gerrard32]

Does not really matter as not a player that usually gets booked so will not amount to anything

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Should change the rule and leave it up to the referees discretion...hmm wait! He'd still have got booked!

 

[le suede]

It's one of those things where if you take it all the way a player could score 2 goals....celebrate twice, and get sent off without even a bad tackle. That doesn't make sense so why enforce such a stupid rule.

 

[budman]

The daft bookings all add up. Players miss big games.

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Stupid booking, we all know it results in a booking so why do it.

It doesn't always result in a booking.

 

[Bear all]

The rules are the rules so is deliberate hand ball as well though.

 

[Sam English]

Was it worthy of a booking - no !

Reminded me of Halliday's booking when celebrating a goal a few seasons back.

 

[devilman]

It's in the rules so don't do it if you don't want booked. That said, the passion can take over at times and as already said, it is one of the most stupid fucking rules in football. I wonder just how many people have been hurt as a result of a player celebrating with the fans.

One that needs looked at but never will be.

You are correct, if they want to try to stop it they should fine players or something, but a booking is just the wrong sanction.

 

[Hemdani]

The rule needs changed.

Could tell the ref didn’t want to book him for it, but thats the rules

 

[cambie gers]

Not as bad as Halliday's booking against Morton.

The rule is in place for safety reasons to stop fans surging forward to celebrate with the player.

 

[Roscoblue]

The rules are the rules so is deliberate hand ball as well though.

Deliberate handball is not, in itself, a cautionable offence.

Only apply,'s if it's not that reprobate Griffiths

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

Watched the highlights of the catholic love-fest yesterday on Sportscene earlier, Rogic ran straight to the GB, no booking.

 

[dentalbear]

Not as bad as Halliday's booking against Morton.

Was Halliday not sent off for that? Straight red I think.

Although I may be mistaken.

 

[Coplandbear]

A Scottish referees logic anything a Rangers player does no matter how minor or even wrong book them.

This happened repeatedly today.

We have the most worst incompetent, bias, and heavy influenced referees in Europe.

And we all know why there all like that

 

[Mondraker]

It doesn't always result in a booking.

Not if you play for the right club anyway

At least he didn't put both hands in the air and gesture to our own fans. Straight red that is

 

[Colinrfc2]

Its another petty pointless rule ,, football is all about scoring goals and celebrating but don't do it with your own fans or else you will get booked, a ludicrous rule

 

[strider]

I was under the impression the rule was put in place from a crowd safety perspective - try to minimise any chance of people getting hurt when fans flock forward to celebrate with the player?

 

[rabriguez]

It’s sad that the clearest and easiest booking a ref can give is a player celebrating with the fans and there’s a hammer thrower trying to break someone’s ankle that splits opinion

 

[cambie gers]

Although I may be mistaken.

It was his second yellow and therefore he was sent off. Ridiculous decision.

 

[hawkfalcons]

Stupid booking, we all know it results in a booking so why do it.

still a crap rule understand if he was running to opposition fans and giving it giruy but celebrating with your own fans is pathetic the blazers sucking out the joy and fun from football … just think the scum lego at that mhob can go in high on numerous occasions no booking but kent in a moment of joy is booked

 

[hawkfalcons]

spot on as I said down further the scum smeltic captain

agree

 

[sammysun]

This rule has been around for a number of years now, guy takes his top of and it is a booking, there are so many rules added to the game by muppets who never played the game, and only take the enjoyment out of the game.

 

[No T in Mikhailichenko]

None of the poets who celebrated at the Rangers end got booked, it’s nonsensical.

 

[First Touch In Europe]

Could have been a riot in the gazebo

 

[George Goudie]

Watched the highlights of the catholic love-fest yesterday on Sportscene earlier, Rogic ran straight to the GB, no booking.

Spot on. Came on to this thread to post exactly the same thing mate.

Watched sportscene on iPlayer just there and noticed that.

How was that not a booking if RK was booked?

See the thing is, I don't want either to be a yellow. But it's a clear case of inconsistency, again going against us.

 

[Ponientebear]

Stupid booking, we all know it results in a booking so why do it.

If you mean it results in a booking depending on who you play for then yea it does. Lost count the amount of times the manky mob do this without a single card being shown.

 

[The Predator]

I agree it's a stupid ruling, but the players know the score and tbh it's a needless booking that could be costly with a ban further down the line for yellow cards received.

 

[LilyOrange]

Did the thumb not do this at St Johnston away a few weeks ago as well? Turned out it was actually 1 of his many children

 

[Talktalk]

Yes but it’s one of the worst laws that the beaks have ever into the game,yes if they go and wind up opposing fans but not their own.

 

[Roscoblue]

Explain please in itself

It’s quite simple. A deliberate handball is not, automatically, a yellow card. Although both Halliday’s and the Hamilton defender that conceded the penalty should have been and why only Halliday was cautioned only Andrew Dallas will know.

Couldn't agree more - the joy of scoring and celebrating with "Your Own" fans is the one raw emotion that links us together. Football needs to celebrate more and equally punish provocation.

 

[Kylegib]

There was a debate about this rule on sky TV recently. An ex referee stated that they don't want to show yellow cards for players celebrating with fans but because it's the rules they have to. I believe it's a rule to prevent players from going to the fans for safety reasons to prevent fans from being injured in any surge towards the player.

 

[Roscoblue]

This is from the Laws of the Game and explains when the celebration of a goal is a cautionable offence. I’ve put into bold the part which will explain why Dallas believes Kent had to be cautioned.


CELEBRATION OF A GOAL
Players can celebrate when a goal is scored, but the celebration must not be excessive; choreographed celebrations are not encouraged and must not cause excessive time-wasting.

Leaving the field of play to celebrate a goal is not a cautionable offence but players should return as soon as possible.

A player must be cautioned for:

• climbing onto a perimeter fence and/or approaching the spectators in a manner which causes safety and/or security issues
• gesturing or acting in a provocative, derisory or inflammatory way
• covering the head or face with a mask or other similar item
• removing the shirt or covering the head with the shirt

In the Cup game he ran to the fans behind the goal and then the section the away fans get in the main stand and surprise surprise he didn't get booked.

• any Rangers player punching the air whilst running ¼ mile away from opposition support.

Have you ever experienced the feeling of scoring an important goal for Rangers?

Na, didn't think so.

 

[JimmysGers]

Rogic never actually ran into the crowd. He turned back at the last minute.

I can excuse it if it's a last minute winner and your momentum almost takes you into the fans. If you've time to think about it, as Kent did yesterday, it's an unnecessary booking.

 

[Barryhopez]

It's a shame as it's obviously a moment of euphoria, but thems the silly rules.

I think we all know the answer to that.

Didn't they get a player sent off for this a few seasons back?

Thank god someone else believes in the facts on here. I've got bored posting stuff straight from the rules down the years, folk don't want to know and prefer to believe their strongly held opinions as facts.
