Wow what an utterly pathetic response from our resident the rangers apologist. Ah but what about Celtic, blah blah blah. How dare we question a bias that has been going on for decades.

The game was 6 weeks ago, best revenge would be to end our ridiculous record of not beating them at home in league since boxing day 2001

Fuck Rangers

A detailed response, that backs up the old adage " if you want to know anyting in detail about Celtic, then ask a Rangers fan first"

Hi everyone MJC has just contacted me as he’s currently offline and was upset that his prediction of a narrow cup defeat to the Dons was unduly OPTIMISTIC. His revised prediction is: a nine nill humping after which JBA totally loses the plot on the coach home, gets out an AK47 and takes out the entire coach full of players/staff, before finishing off himself. We bring in Maurice Malpas to run with what’s left of the Development Team, but despite his best efforts he’s unable to arrest a plummet down the divisions into the Lowland League where we spend the next 24 years. NORMAL SERVICE HAS BEEN RESUMED. THE END!

Just bin VAR. It's that simple. Subjective decisions in the booth are wrong just as often as subjective decisions on the pitch. If we must keep it, go with the 20 or 30 second rule. Can't see any error within those 20 or 30 seconds, no clear and obvious error, decision on the pitch stands, and we move on.

It's the only stat that lets us down over the past 3 decades and the only stat that allows supporters of our peer clubs to argue their merits when discussing relative success...its something we need to right, asap

I think we are all frustrated by the inconsistencies but there have been some really crucial decisions that have favoured Rangers this season and a good few of them involved this same referee. As an example, three penalty incidents involving Rangers, all with very similar degrees of contact in the box. One v Aberdeen: penalty given for Rangers. Two v Dundee Utd: penalty given for Rangers. Three v Motherwell: penalty not given to Motherwell. The consistency comes from the fact that the incidents are all very similar, that Rangers get the benefit of the decision in all three cases and that the same referee is involved in each decision. The inconsistency is that the referee has used different criteria to arrive at a decision. Is this proof of conspiracy? No. Is it worth considering the environment that brings about these inconsistencies? Yes. That is free thinking.

Massive moment in the game when Killie are only 1-0 down. Funny how Trusty is a red card and in an almost identical incident last night the ref gives nothing. What about the Fernandez hand ball against Livingston? Again critical moment in the game. Massive decisions that are really difficult to explain. You talk about thinking for ourselves. I think it is very reasonable to ask the questions. They are strange decisions and deserve some further consideration.

No, not “what about Celtic”. That’s an utterly pathetic response to highlighting some facts which question a claim that one team gets all the decisions and is part of the reason why Celtic have the media and everyone else dancing to their tune over this. Celtic went over 80 domestic matches without a red card. That is a statement of fact and one which is perfectly reasonable to point to when it is being claimed that another club benefits more than most or that it’s being going on for decades as you say. And just to highlight another small example. In our recent game against Celtic Liam Scales who was on a yellow card was able to commit several fouls without seeing a second yellow and then a red. But I don’t remember too many people bubbling about that or much in the way of any mention of it in the media. Indeed the last time a Celtic player was red carded at Fir Park was Tom Boyd in the early 1990s. I’m not saying it’s deliberate cheating, but there is definitely one club in this country who holds a massive sway over the match officials. And that club isn’t Rangers. It’s more down to fear of repercussion more than anything else. Celtic are the club after all who caused a refereeing strike. If highlighting that makes me a Rangers apologist or whatever to you and others then do you know what, so be it. I prefer to see it as looking at this objectively and giving an opinion based on that.

The usual baloney and chest thumping outrage when Rangers get a decision running rife in this thread I see. And as usual only the facts and stats that suit the tired old nonsensical claim that “Rangers get everything” are put forward while the ones that don’t are just ignored. For example, the red card that Killie received last night was actually the first time an opponent of Rangers has seen red in a domestic game since May 2024. But you won’t read that in the media because they dance to Celtic’s tune and so for the same reason very little was made of Celtic going over 80 domestic matches without receiving a red card. Indeed only Derek McInnes alluded to this the other week after the Hearts v Celtic game. The usual suspects in the media who would have been all over that stat like a rash if Rangers had benefited from even half of that number of games in the same way as they were a few years back with the ‘Penalty to Rangers’ carry on were surprisingly nowhere to be seen over that one. Same with all the muppets who buy into and spout that same nonsense. For a team that supposedly get all the decisions and have the officials in their pockets it’s surprising then that the two above stats could be true, but there they are anyway. You see decisions which are baffling and inconsistent compared with similar incidents in other games week in week out, but only when it’s Rangers that benefit then people start foaming at the mouth about cheating and conspiracies. It’s pathetic and just another example of how so many just can’t think for themselves.

Rangers have had multiple decisions go in their favour that has won them points Livi didn't get a stonewall handball which could of put them 2-1 up and the game finished 2-1 Rangers We didn't get a stonewall penalty which could of got us a point Gassama initiated contact for a penalty they shouldn't have got against Dundee which got them a point. It's not exactly a surprise Tavernier avoided the red card is it.

Exactly. Both incidents were penalties. Whether a red was required is debatable. Anyone think that red is given at the other end? Dickinson and once again VAR ignore Tavernier, who was on a booking, last man foul on the Killie attacker. No suprise that yet again the officials give them the benefit of doubt. The officials have got The Rangers back into the title race.

Good lad, I would be worried if you tipped us to win 🤪🤪

I suspect that Aberdeen will try their damndest to ensure Saturday's game is on after yesterday's unexpected flash flood.
