He was pish but he still shouldnt have came away with that ball with 2 players either side of him tackling him for the ball.
That is the only bit I would complain about. To me it was a yellow card. However he had let four of their players away with similar and in one case even worse before that tackle. Starfish was allowed carte blanche and could have seen 4 yellows.
5 fouls 4 bookings second half that’s more than nonsense.
Walker found Collums handling of the game refreshing by not producing any cards it only benefited one team McCoist agreed with him .
Our set piece play was atrocious, just about every ball wasted. They made us work with theirs and scored .
Red...ffs.
This is the crux of it, it’s no longer just a matter of winning the ball cleanly, if in the process you subsequently make contact with the opponent’s leg in a manner than could have hurt him, then that’s a foul. I’m not justifying the rules, but they have changed and that was always going to be a booking.
Haven't seen it again but I said to a few folk around me, when they were persistently fouling, that the first player booked would be a Rangers player.
Spot on their two goals came from balls we should have cleared.
jota had a foul on bassey in the first minute or two that could easily have been a booking but wasnt even spoken too.
Coached better at persistent fouling surely that’s up to the Official to render this tactic useless,but as the stats proof all Season they are allowed to use this tactic to their overall advantage we know what to do now in the next match .
I agree, officials should nip it in the bud, but they don’t, they focus on the crunching tackles as that’s easy and they’re not going to get flack for handing out cards for those. Refs don’t want to send someone off for two yellows for persistent fouling if they’re just niggly fouls with no one hurt. It’s not right, but it’s understandable, that lot know it and play to it. We don’t
He was the worst. Terrible foul on Aribo on the SJ touchline, stonewall booking, but not for Collum. I also thought he was fouling Balogun for the first goal.
do you think any of our players wouldve got away with 5/6 fouls without a booking in the first half? if we tried this tactic it wouldnt work for us as the ref wouldnt allow it.
A keeper rooted to his line and pish defending cost us a goal.
We need to it’s cost us we need to make loads of inconsistent fouls breaking up their play only thing is we will most likely be punished for it .
It would be foolish not to if they are going to punish us for it they would have to do likewise with them,well you like to think that would be the outcome.
Only the nine , Callum McGregor beats that regularly.
They made us work simply because we have a liability in goals,any ball thrown in to our area creates carnage simply because our GK is done.
Sorry, I didn’t mean we should make loads of professional fouls just because they do, and you’re right about the different treatment we get from Euro refs, 100%, I was just trying to highlight that domestically what that lot do works for them. I got onto this by trying to point out that crunching tackles like Lundstrum’s one yesterday and going to get a booking every time nowadays.
He did not need to go in as hard and risk giving away the foul in that area. Naive play to give away fouls in the range where they can get a cross in or shoot. Basics. The goalie and defending didn't help but knowing how bad we are in that area, it makes it even more important to not give away stupid fouls.
they/we are completely refereed to different standards, even the linesman.
You could give away a foul at the opposition 18 yard box and it can be delivered into our box. It wasn't as if it were whipped in or some sort of miracle delivery. It was a high floated ball ffs.
