As always, the laws of the game leave plenty of room for interpretation, and the SFA can't do much about those. Leaving the pitch to celebrate isn't a cautionable offence, but you can be cautioned if you don't return "as soon as possible". What should the SFA do about that, set a time limit? For how long? Who has to count it? And that's before you even get into the list of things that are and aren't deemed permissible celebrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had a disciplinary system in place and working well now since organised football began its called the match officials, i.e. the referee and his assistants, so no need for a compliance officer and all the crap that goes with it. So unless all SFA member clubs decide enough is enough and take on the blazers at Hampden to get a structure in place fit for the modern game nothing will change, and they will continue to run the game to suit there own narrow agendas.

I’d be quite happy if they relaxed that rule, but feel it would’ve been appropriate in that instance. No yellow cards No yellow card yellow card Scott Brown got a second yellow for the top one. It’s just the Rangers one where there were no yellows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope we’re still in the market for a holding midfielder that can pass the ball, otherwise we’re in for a season of watching Dunne hit a lot of long diagonals straight out the pitch! Sloth is the man for the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha1886 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 So referee, assistant referee and fourth official who were all close to the incident and in communication with one another all got it wrong. Will they be demoted? IMO Carroll tackled with wrong leg (because he is naturally left footed) and therefore mistimed it. Nothing sinister. End of.

Nobody said it was sinister - just that is was deserving of a red card. There are a lot of red cards spotted by refs that are mistimed tackles, but there's nothing in the rules that says you only give red cards to well timed (but bad) tackles. And I doubt anyone will be getting demoted. The process is for the observer to discuss it with the referee after the match with the aim to improve performance in future matches. Historically, a ref has to repeat the same bad errors across a few games before they drop down the rankings. It does happen, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No yellow cards No yellow card yellow card Considering we were hammered over the play-off pitch invasion, and there was a much more confrontational element to it, Rangers seem to be having numerous pitch invasions without a word said from the governing bodies. Strangely their incidents all occurred at away games which might have something to do with it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
