Rangers got a couple of contentious decisions.

[Jase]

The St Johnstone one is mere wishful thinking. It wasn't a goal.
As for Defoe being off it took me a couple of looks see that he was.

These were both close calls and we got away with the JD one. But no ref could have been sure of either in real time. There was nothing controversial.

Now the hand ball was a stonewall penalty and Dallas was about 5 yards away with a clear uncluttered view. The decision not to penalise, THAT was a controversial decision.

Predictions for tonight in the goon show starring Stewart and Thompson
1 Goldson pushed the defender to get in front of defender for second goal .So no goal
2 Penalty will not be shown so didn't happen,
3 St Johnston goal will only be shown at the angle which it does actually look like its over , view from along the line ignored . Goal
4 Defoe's goal should not stand as they should have got aforementioned goal
5 The editing team are working frantically from every angle possible for Alfie's goal to find an issue to say it should not have been given
5 Defoe's second offside no goal .
Final conclusion from the muppets ,St Johnston should have won 1-0

Our stonewaller of a penalty will be played down or completely ignored.

Now in their minds the goal that never was should have stood making it 2-1.
This now gives them the warped view that the game would have changed at that point.
We weren't scoring that third goal which would have given them grounds to whine about our 4th goal.

It's 3-0 at that point but in their minds it should only be 2-1.

St Johnstone were left to rue a lack of goaline technology in Scotland according to sky sports.

Someone should be telling them to get their facts straight

There was one possibly contentious decision that went for Rangers and that was the offside call on Defoe for the 4th. Their goal wasn't in.

However, if he wants to pick out the contentious parts about the several incorrect offside calls whilst were in in good positions or the 100% stone wall penalty from the handball that should have been given.

I think Dodds is just too used to being bitter and looking for ways to be so.

That’s harsh.
Maybe the bitter wee gobshite’s ear flaps dropped over his eyes.

 

[ClockworkOrange]

The bold Billy Dodds said that. If the whole ball hasn't crossed the line, how is it contentious ? Just %^*& off Dodds

Would a bias ref not have taken the opportunity to give it, though?

 

[rossgers]

Lets face it. If there were any contentious decisions in a scum match not shown live, would we ever hear about it?

From the original camera angle it was maybe in maybe not. But the side angle its not even debatable its so fkkkin clear you can only see half the ball. This though doesn't suit the agenda of these cretins in the media despite clear evidence they will want everyone to believe Rangers got away with one. Fukk Em

According to Sky it was in. They of course did not show it from other angle.

So one-sided and anti Rangers it's utterly embarrassing. They live to hate, nothing more.

I just watched that on SKY sports John. Could not believe they didn't show the side on angle @rseholes. Even sportscene said the ref was right.

 

[Commodore Carbuncle]

Another controversial win for the Bears eh? Ach well.

In fairness the initial camera angle looked like a goal - however the crucial goal line angle proved conclusively it wasn’t a goal.

The penalty was an absolute joke - Dallas could not have failed to see that.

 

[Big D]

There was 2 bad decisions today (apart from possible bookings). Firstly, we were denied a clear penalty and secondly, our 4th goal was offside. That's it. There was nothing else contentious, and no matter how much certain media outlets or individuals may wish otherwise, those are the facts. Bottom line is, the result was totally unaffected.

 

[Southside Blue]

Sky news reporting the St Johnstone goal should have stood.

whanks

Sky Sports coverage has went right down hill in recent years. Barely give it a watch other than our live games. Last time I watched was 10mins on deadline day and I couldn’t believe the shite some of their journos were talking. All raving about how Tierney was a quality signing for Arsenal. No one failed to mentioned he was injured and he’s still not near the first team. Seems to be more of a love in with them than us.

 

[yardie]

Alfredo should have got at least a yellow for smiling after he was taken off. Surely the Compliance Officer will cite him on a disrespect charge.

 

[Talktalk]

Make no mistake, the pressure is being piled on the officials already. The fact they are being so vocal about a decision which had absolutely no bearing on the outcome of the game means it flies in under the radar.
In a game where the only dodgy decision was a blatant handball in the box completely ignored, we are talking about a St Johnstone "goal" which was [correctly] not given and a marginally offside goal missed by a linesman which you see given week in, week out.

I demand answers as to why the penalty wasn't given.

The penalty wasn’t given due to the sun being in the Refs eyes and him not being close enough to hear the contact
