Do Rangers get a "free pass" from referees?

[FTOF]

Joking aside......

I think it's a combination of big team bias, referee incompetence and the fact that fans and the media can scrutinise almost every decision to the nth degree.

Although, the former is not nearly as blatant as it was 30/40 years ago.

Having said that, there are occasions when it can't be just down to referee incompetence.

debt is not a moral obligation. that it is portrayed as such is one of capitalism's greatest victories and one of the reasons why that system is so oppressive.

To bring this back on track..........

The initial question asked if Rangers were getting a free pass.

Is there another team in the division where two consecutive matches have had episodes where players were deemed to commit red card challenges that the ref didnt deal with correctly? I cant remember that happening.

Not a lot has changed since that Levein interview above, Rangers have always, and continue to get an easy ride from refs.

It is really irritating, as they are a good team to watch and do not need the refs help - but they won 6 points in those matches v St Johnstone and Hibs while in both matches they should have been down to 10 men and the outcome may have been different.

I look forward to Stormzys "heids gone" response.

Rangers being targeted disproportionately by the SFA over retrospective action mainly due to media dog whistling is hardly what anyone would call a free pass.

You are deliberately missing the point that by benefitting from retrospective - as opposed to in game - action that Rangers have been given an advantage in both of the games I mentioned above.

Having players banned at a disproportionate level from other teams which aren't facing the same scrutiny is not an advantage.

Keeping 11 men on the park, winning 3 points that may or may not have been gained otherwise is an advantage. Retrospective action is an occupational hazard in line with a hamstring twinge in training, it does not affect what has already happened.

yes.

in fact, I’d wager this has happened to every team, including the one you support.

Morelos and Roofe deserved to be red carded. That is a given. 

Its not "if" they offended, it's "when" they get huckled for it that is the main issue.

Plenty of players deserve to be red carded but don't receive one. By disproportionately concentrating on one team for retrospective punishment means that the system is not balanced and other teams who aren't being scrutinised have a serious advantage here.

This reply covers Perky and that sheep fan too.

What's stupid about what I've said? Genuinely? All fine and well saying X Y Z but if you can't explain then why bother?

The fact you can't comprehend the fact you've used bigoted language earlier in this thread directed towards me when you were in hard man mode and now you've calmed down is pretty stupid. 

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and presume you know what a bigot is or what it is to be bigoted and I invite you to go and read your own posts towards me and then try and figure out why that term is applicable towards yourself. I'll give you a clue, it's amazingly enough censored on this platform...

I partially agree, the neanderthal should be facing a ban for his violent conduct as well. Yet they have chosen to chase Ajeti instead for something that is a bit meh in my eyes which conveniently takes the focus away from his offence.

If you mean Roofe, he was cited by the SFA yesterday.

I am talking about Brown for his indentikit foul on Tish that he was sent off for vs Livvi.
