If you read it properly I did say "almost". And here's why I said it - tomorrow I will have the misfortune of having to listen to one of them. And he is going to tell me that Shellick showed the mark of champions. That they have a winning mentality that we don't. That they are better than us blah blah blah. And I will have to say "I know - JW1988 wouldn't stop going on about it on Follow Follow last night!"
What about games where we have been in a winning position and lost a last minute equaliser because of excessive stoppage time?
It's also too easy to dismiss the poor officiating and put it all on the team. I think it was @Northampton Loyalist who put up an excellent post about how it was possible to be victims of bad refereeing as well as poor finishing. For example on Tuesday night v the sheep there were 6 second half subs, 6 bookings, one extended goal celebration and outrageous time wasting. How much added time? 3 minutes.
It's as if he was waiting for them to score before he blew. Even the Dundee Manager questioned where the time came from,come on, who's kidding who.
The only other time I recall 6 minutes being added was the opening game at Pittodrie where we were defending a one goal lead having played 80 minutes with 10 men and we all know how that ended.
So answer me this; had we been on the end of ropey decisions in 04/05, and dropped a point or goal more and results on the last day had meant that they'd won the title, would you still be of the same opinion? That could have unfolded this season had we not thrown away a few wins into draws.
Thankyou. That is the situation in a nutshell, Rangers winning = major injury time. Rangers losing = hee haw.
See this "winning mentality"thing? Would they be getting praised for it if the fourth official had signalled 5 minutes? No - cause they wouldn't have feckin won! They would have drawn 0-0 like they did last week and against St. Mirren and Livingstone!
Some people on this thread actually sound like pape cheerleaders. Even more fkn pathetic.
There were 3 minutes added against Aberdeen last week.
Is that there game or ours you’re talking about mate? Either way referees have discretion as it’s a “minimum of” 3 minutes.
If you think were going to loose the league because of some debated injury time fair enough. I believe we've not been good enough. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Sadly we've not done it for a long time,and to be quite honest the players we have now don't put teams under pressure when we chase games late on due to poor set pieces etc.
For me Boyd, Ferguson, Mccoist are no heroes of mine they are always quick to stick the boot into us, ex Rangers they may be but not heroes at all.
They scored in the 6 mins.
So you can say folk sound like chip on the shoulder papes but if I say folk sound like pape cheerleaders I have to go fck myself? Tad inconsistent I would say?
It was their game.
Add about another 7 which should have been bookings and its 20 yes twenty bookings, we are so soft its not true
30 games mate, very good point its killing our game
I agree to a point but we have also failed ourselves.
