It's not about whether there was an attempted hand hit or not, Slattery's were embarrassing, unnecessary and took some attention away from an excellent footballing performance.

There was no excuse for it, and JBA obviously felt the same.

On a different note, out of curiosity, I checked Man City's stats yesterday (as they are obviously a team that likes to play possession football).

They made 466 passes in their home win, with 84.1% accuracy and 31 touches inside the opposition box.

We made 703 passes with 92.3% accuracy and 51 touches inside the oppostion box.

Obviously not like for like, but an interesting comparison all the same.

I will take that as confirmation that we are better than Man City.

The Midden forums truly were a joy to behold last night and P&B is something else.

Nearly as entertaining as watching us.

Wasn't sure what our reaction would be after the cup exit but the team very quickly put any negative notions to bed.

A dominant and one sided game as you'll ever see and some sweet revenge for our no show in the semi..

"We dont care, we won the cup" then 50 posts each about how much they care and how rattled they are.

The slattery thing has given them something to clutch onto, but I hope theyre better at clutching than Shamal George.

Slattery made a twat of himself, and I’d expect JBA to deal with him in private, but the main story is how we absolutely horsed St Mirren.

Absolutely to both. Even Robinson credited us as "arguably the best team in Scotland"

12 added minutes at Almondvale. I don't think my heart can take this. Exciting times 

It was meant to be 9mins added right enough? Not that I doubt the integrity of the officials.

feel for Livi, 2-0 up and then they get the obligatory man sent off. Again, not that I doubt the integrity of the officials

There was a 2 minute var check in injury time that somehow ended with Rangers not getting a penalty.

The foul was outside the box as well, that referee will be on the lodge blacklist come Monday morning.

Oh aye we definitely would be but leaving aside Slatts Oscar winning performance and the faux outrage, the rules are quite clear.

 An attempted hand hit (punch or strike) on an opponent is generally punishable with a red card, even if no contact is made, due to it being classified as violent conduct.

So VAR seemingly correct in this instance.

Can imagine Slattery getting  absolute pelters at training on Monday and SOD browsing Amazon for a replica Oscar statue.

Oscars are generally awarded for good acting performances, though.
