I hope to christ this isn't a 5-3-2 with RCC as a right wing back.

It utterly infuriates me when clubs list their starting XI in numerical order rather than some kind of positional order.

Yes.  But this is at least better than the lineups which are neither.

[Comrie]

Soft penalty for Rangers, how expected.

[BawWatchin]

The Rangers struggling against Ross County. So Morelos throws himself to the ground for the obligatory penalty.

[bennett]

Need to up the tempo a bit in the second half, as usual trying to walk the baw past 7 or 8 players before we shoot.

 

[G51]

Pretty boring game so far. County not doing much when they get the ball, Rangers lacking a midfielder capable of spreading the play around.

Surprised there are any complaints about the penalty tbh. You’re always going to concede a pen when you try to bear hug the striker

[Comrie]

We're doing okay so far, which means Rangers will get a second and we'll collapse and lose 5-0.

"it continues into the box so it's a penalty"

do they no get people in who actually know the rules of football on this TV channel

Of course they do. The rules of Scottish Football are that everything favours The Rangers and Celtic. It's their job to remind us of this at every opportunity.

I've not seen the incident but the laws of the game clearly state "If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding inside the penalty area, the referee must award a penalty kick."

Reid is all over the Rangers player, but he starts falling before the box. With the sprawl, it ends up two yards inside, but it was clearly outside.

Clear foul and a booking for me.

[Derry Alli]

Very nice of County players to just let Barker score on his birthday. 

[Comrie]

yeah, that's a ragequit from me

[G51]

God bless Brandon Barker

I missed the first half but - based on the 2nd - I have no idea why the Ross County fans were so glum at the start of the thread.  You were tight defensively and a big threat going forward and could easily have scored.

1-1 for the second half would have been fair and you didn't look like an 8th place side.

I just watched the first half back on RTV and am pretty sure I heard one of the linesmen shouting, "Penalty, penalty"  and waving his flag.
