kingjoey Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I would also imagine there’s a fair bit of cheating with the appeal being lodged as well. Rangers will be presuming, probably correctly, that the appeal won’t be heard until after their Scottish Cup match away to Killie. Rangers know that the Scottish Cup is their only chance of a trophy, and they know that Killie is a difficult game where they will need Morelos, the football player, to be playing to give them a decent chance of winning. If they lose on Saturday their season is over, so, using hindsight, the appeal was inevitable. If the peal is thrown out, an extra two games should be added on to his ban for abusing the system.

Knocking Celtic out of the Scottish cup in 2014 only made it by 2 days but still counts. Hadn't realised Hibs had won as many as that. I know they normally give Celtic more of a game than we have but didn't realise they had that many wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustered as much effort as your fans did to save your previous club. You had five shots on target. You would have had to have scored with every single one of them to have won the game. Blubbering that you deserved to win a game when you had less shots on target, half as many goals and possession being evenly split is nonsense. And before you cry about the penalty when a player deliberately places their hand\arms into an unnatural position in the box they had better have a very good idea where the ball is. Its basic professionalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its basic professionalism. You do realise that the penalty shouldn’t have been given, don’t you, because the Rangers player challenging McKenna was clearly offside when the free kick was taken? And add to that the other penalty that should have been given to us when your goalkeeper took out Ferguson above shin high with his studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst you're probably right that he was offside, it wasn't given, so McKenna was a bit daft to be throwing his arms about whilst play was still going on. Do your job, then you can claim for offside. eta: That's not a dig at McKenna alone, it's a pet hate of mine when footballers stop playing to claim for something whilst the game is still going on.

That would be great, but it would not surprise me for it to be held over until next week, with “not enough time to prepare properly” statement to be used.

I find myself agreeing with your second paragraph. However, that doesn’t alter the fact that the player was offside, and the handball was irrelevant.

Correct. Although they are separate issues. Mckenna is an idiot for what he did, but technically it should not have been a pen. ETA - I don't have too many gripes with it as the offside call was fairly marginal and it was extremely stupid from Mckenna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the referee had blown up already or the linesman flagged, then yes it would be irrelevant, but neither of those things happened, so the ref was correct to give the penalty. It's two separate arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
