A previous set of posts by @ali-91 went into a lot more detail about how rife unconscious bias was in Scottish society, I still think it's more to do with shirt colour but we must keep an open mind here Bob. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that it’s universally accepted as a red card offence, are you suggesting the SPFL don’t apply the rules, just in case there’s some subconscious racism at play? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Daz McGregor throws Kamara to the ground then stamps on him, the SFA see nothing wrong with it. Morelos has a tangle of legs with Portyous and stamps on his leg, the SFA swing into action. There's been numerous incidents recently which haven't been rerefereed after a trial by sports media. Is it shirt colour or skin colour that is the issue here?There we go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, shirt colour and ethnicity nothing to do with the repeat offender stamper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Are Rangers saying they'd like the authorities to sanction clubs based on comments made by their supporters? That would be some rabbit hole to go down.Hibs are responsible for the content which they broadcast through official club channels, be that their TV channel, Twitter account, match programme, Instagram, Linkedin or Tinder accounts.Irvine Welsh always seems like a complete arsehole too, a manchild in his 50s with utterly puerile patter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it’s right that Rangers players escape on field punishment due to the colour of their strip? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To play devil’s advocate, when players from different clubs escape on field punishment AND escape retrospective action for identical offences, is that because the colour of their strip? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is asking for Morelos to be given special protection here, people are asking for a consistent retrospective disciplinary process. There have been a grand total of three fast-track disciplinary notices given to players in the Premiership this season. Morelos accounts for two of them, Jason Holt the other. Your disciplinary system either has to catch every serious incident that referees miss, or it simply doesn't get involved with on-field issues. All or nothing. Right now, it does neither. There have been absolutely loads of instances of unpunished violent conduct this season that the disciplinary system simply hasn't bothered to cite. There's zero doubt that Morelos's offences get picked up because of his reputation from the 18/19 season. Everyone loses the run of themselves when he does something, as Irvine Welsh showed. We can't be running the disciplinary system based on the hysterical, emotional overreactions of fans and media. My preference would be that the disciplinary system simply doesn't deal with retrospective action from on-field events, because the idea that justice is served by re-refereeing games and issuing bans for subsequent games is fundamentally stupid anyway. This argument is further strengthened by the evidence that shows the Scottish FA are absolutely terrible at running the disciplinary process. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a lot of things, but I'm not stupid. There have been multiple instances of violent conduct that went unpunished. The most recent occured last Wednesday when Patryk Klimala deliberately elbowed Jaze Kabia's face so hard it almost took his head off his shoulders. Sky picked it up and replayed it multiple times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equality, the same treatment must be applied to all teams. If one team has their games rerefereed and highly scrutinised then all teams must face the standards. Right now the SFA are leaving themselves wide open to criticism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d think they’d bag at least 2 titles before they consumed themselves with the deeply ingrained conspiracy theories that Celtic have had for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
