Today Rangers. Tomorrow the world (via Rotherham, Partick Thistle, Linfield, Hartlepool, Hamilton and Ayr).

Or maybe that just applies to Jake Hastie.

Miller strikes me as someone who, like Max Johnston, would do better for himself with a move to a European club.

The big issue up here is with the pundits with ferdinand and Wright the worst but jeez mccoist took it to a new level last night.  Unbearable. 

Total respect to Gary Neville after calling it a disgraceful decision

He always has been. He has the ‘gift of the gab’ though so people fall for his cheeky chappy, everyone’s pal act. He’s false and pretentious and laughs at his own shite patter. I wouldn’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

His finest moment was "what a header that was....wooooahhhhh, brave as a lion"....but that was 33 years ago

I can’t deny him that one, but even his Co-commentary that day sounded over exaggerated and pretentious.

I'd rather have him commenting than some of those used in the Euros, especially the women, and in particular the American one who seems to think she is an expert on VAR and tries to justify some of the ridiculous decisions we've seen this tournament.

Totally agree. Both arse cheeks can fuk off and take Thier bile with them.

[Toxteth O'Grady]

I was never a fan of McCoist, but his stock sank to a new low when he issued his "who are these people?" rant whilst manager of Sevco. The very definition of playing to the gallery.

The woman was a retired Fifa Grade referee. I didnt think she tried to justify decisions, more explain why they would be given in line with current IFAB rules. There was one decision in particular (cant remember which) that she explained why the decision had been given in line with the rules, but then said, "if you ask me my personal opinion, you would get a different answer". I think it was to do withba penalty handball incident.

I thought it was actually quite refreahing ro get a referees insight as it explained a lot of stuff.

I think IFAB are the problem. Not the referees.

She also said that referees at the Euros had been 'recommended' to avoid going against what VAR suggested.  So what was the point of the referee looking at the wee screen? Go against that direction and there goes your chance of the final. The England penalty being a clear example where only VAR and Ian Wright thought the referee had made a clear and obvious error. Even the VAR lady was stunned.

My biggest gripe with VAR is that they now seem to be actively looking for reasons to disallow goals, yet they still spout the "we only get involved for clear and obvious errors " pish.

Tell me how spending 3 or 4 mins looking at an incident from every angle, slow motion, frame by frame etc, and drawing fancy lines on a screen to register someone off side by millimetres, is clear and obvious. The whole set up is ruining the game and needs binned.

No argument there......

[weeyin]

I agree with SK on this one.

The authorities claimed it wouldn't change the way players played the game, and that VAR wouldn't start refereeing games.

Both claims have proved to be false.

The worst thing for me is it just takes away from the spontaneity of the game - especially when you score and have to wait 2 minutes for a goal to be confirmed.

When you watch leagues with no VAR, even the most controversial flashpoints are over in a few seconds and the players and fans quickly refocus on the game. And everybody just gets back on with it.

VAR is the exact opposite where every incident big and small is tainted by the check and the long wait.
