Rangers Thread - 2023/24

Like when a defender cuts in front of a attacker to shield the ball out of play (which happens in every game)?

No, like when Xhaka took out Bernie at the Emirates. Like virtually every penalty decision.

The kick is irrelevant.

It's weird, and (in my opinion) wrong that a goal for the away team to score, and it to be greeted by silence in the stadium. Away fans should be in the stadia. Much as we hate the rags, the looks on their faces in the 6-3 were priceless. Plus, the feeling you'd experience winning at the home of your local rivals surely can't be beat. Come on old firm/SFA/Glasgow police, get it sorted.

Once these things become decided, they very much seem to become the norm in Scotland. Alcohol is still prohibited for general consumption (over forty years now since the contretemps), and the Old Firm still cannot play in a title decider in the ultimate game of a season, which is sheer lunacy in terms of selling a product to Television and illogical when they could play the following week in a Cup final. The fear of what might happen appears to take a terrible grip on the Scottish mind.

You have to at it hahahaha

A proper derby atmosphere needs both sets of fans present in decent numbers. See also @jimharri 's post.

Oh a goal kick to Rangers when it was a clear corner. The ref must be bent.

 

[bluesmith]

When you step across the player and don't play the ball before he tries to do so

Which law is that?

I couldn't give a fuck if either of the teams win 10 nil, but the penalty was a shit decision.

Football common sense 101

It's right after the "view football impartially" chapter once you get to that part.

So no law then?

I'm sure blatant fouls fall under a law, yes

 

[waspish]

Eh?

Which one? I can assure you there is no law that gives a foul for a player getting in front of an opponent whilst playing the ball and getting kicked.

[Nascent Blues]

Eh?

Non-penalty

 

[jimharri]

Non-penalty

I must have been in the bathroom, I honestly don't remember that. Not wumming you.

If they stop banging their drum, the football gods will let them win.

It’s also what tends to make FA Cup ties better than League meetings.

[Nightmare Walking]

That was a great pass out from Joe.

 

[PragueBlue]

Pretty poor quality from both sides. Rangers have had their chances though.
