Just in and watche highlights 

Oxlade-Chamberlain should have been on 2 yellows

Maeda flings an elbow 

JT pen claim is no softer than the Celtic one.

Fed up of this refereeing time and again.

Yip, just watched the highlights and agree with all of that. Celtics penalty and red card I can live with, but how Chamberlain remained on the park is a disgrace. Changes the whole game.

When was the last time you were at Parkhead or Ibrox it happen all the time. Opposition red cards for fuk all.

I think Tex meant for wrestling in the box at a corner.

I agree, you dont usually see that. However, when it happens at the back post, your defender is isolated and the keeper has come and missed leaving the goal wide open, it creates a particular set of circumstances that is hard to defend.

Jens didn't sound like he was questioning the penalty or the red card in his interview. VAR were always going to give the first, which was always going to result in the second.

It's what the 3 wise monkeys choose not to get involved in that's the pisser, even though we know those were the rules long before VAR existed.

Makes it even more infuriating that sellik moan and whine about beaton. He gives them more decisions than any other team

It's a tried and trusted tactic by them...is there any chance this " Rangers man" is not  going to give them all the 50/50 s, the hassle wouldn't be worth it. 

All the refs are Masons...Ken what I mean

100% agree Joe. It was a clear penalty and possible red card - I don't know the exact rules about the card in such circumstances. Longelo appeared to elbow his opponent in a bout of wrestling - was that what it was for? If so why wasn't Sevelj red carded at Fir Park for a similar elbowing incident at Fir Park a few weeks ago? 

Its always hard to tell from carefully edited BBC highlights but on the limited evidence I saw, our defence was pretty poor on several occasions and Ward seemed to have an off day.
