So there was contact? Thank You

Hearts had one given against Rangers last week that was a blatant dive after very minimal contact if contact at all

If referee doesn’t give the McAusland one then it may not have been given with VAR but IMO there is conclusive proof of contact.

It was never going to be overturned by VAR as soon as it shows contact

Hearts one last week was given as a dive and it certainly was but was overturned by VAR to a penalty despite no conclusive proof of contact and certainly no conclusive proof contact was enough to bring player down.

On more viewings possibly no contact at all

Either way, he’s diving as can be seen clearly here

I mean, you’d need to regularly get in the oppositions box to even be considered for penalties to be fair.

I'm not sure opposition players would spend any or at least significantly less time in Rangers box than say, Celtic, PSG, Bayern...otherwise they'd have some more league titles to show for it?

There's absolutely no point in arguing this.

Everyone in the world who's seen it knows it's a dive. He's nearly on the ground and ran the ball out before he's touched (contact ≠ foul, of course). It's VAR's job to overturn shite like that but here we are, they'd have made the angriest support in the world even angrier.

Another week. Another load of diddy lies

Rangers had a goal disallowed for offside even though the offside player plays no active role in goal.

I can accept it.

Rangers are awarded a soft penalty but VAR had no conclusive proof to overturn on field decision.

Rangers sportingly miss it

Rangers have a shot blocked by a defender using both hands. No penalty!!!

Diddies can’t remember this

Rangers have yet another goal disallowed for reasons known only to the on field referee. Replays show it’s actually the Rangers player who is fouled in the box so at the very worst it’s a Penalty if your not letting goal stand!

Silence from the diddies

Late in game Rangers get a second penalty that nobody sees but VAR does. It’s a penalty but the earlier handball was far clearer penalty

Rangers score and win comfortably

Diddies .. Rangers cheated.

It’s fucking boring

We shall overcome!!

As expected…..

You don’t want an even playing field. You are just disappointed the cheating is not going far enough.

We shall overcome…

No, it's the reaction you deserved for posting a still image with zero context and acting the drama queen.

Complete red neck of a fanbase usually found portraying their club as some sort of victims when the evidence is clear for everyone.

The evidence is there all right

First game of the season your own club benefitted from a dreadful decision against Rangers when Goldson was clearly fouled for a penalty.

I am happy to concede that the first Rangers penalty yesterday was soft. Softer than I first thought BUT the on field decision was penalty and there was no conclusive proof to overturn decision. Penalty stands

Last week Hearts player booked for diving and it was second yelliw card. Replays were inconclusive if there was actual contact but the player , like McAusland, made the most of it. Not surprisingly to any Rangers supporter VAR and the referee decided to overturn decision and give Hearts a penalty!

Yesterday the worst and clearest decisions were the double handball and the disallowed goal. Unsurprisingly they both went against Rangers!

This is happening every single week and every single week the major decisions go against Rangers!!

I don’t care if we get one penalty or one hundred penalties. I want the officials to get the calls correct and with VAR there is no way officials should be getting these decisions wrong!

Do you think McAusland goal should have been disallowed?
