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?

Are you seriously still going on about that Goldson penalty? I said 3 months ago it should have been awarded. It wasn't, but you'll get 6 or 7 penalties that shouldn't be awarded for every one like that which should have been given, so forgive me for not bringing out the violins.

It was a fucking dive. Just save face and admit it, a dive. Not soft, just a dive. Cheating. Once you're good to admit that then I might take your posts a little more seriously.

I haven't seen the McAusland goal, a single kick of the game or the Hearts game and have no interest in watching any Rangers game which doesn't involve Killie. The only reason I saw the wee cheating turd "winning" their first penalty is because there were loads of videos of it on social media. I wonder why that doesn't appear to be the case for the apparent 567 decisions poor Rangers weren't awarded? That big conspiracy again, diddums.

So you didn’t watch the game and have only seen the penalty as that’s what has been highlighted in the media. Kinda proves my whole point.

If you can admit that the replays do not show you CONCLUSIVELY that it’s the wrong decision I might take you seriously but you come across as the typical angry wee diddy team supporter. Always greeting about the big bad Rangers getting all the decisions but can’t back it up with any solid proof! Basically all wind and pish

Ffs even Magic on the other thread agrees the McAusland goal being disallowed a joke

Why would I ever want to watch a rangers game my club isn't involved in? There's fuck all to interest me. I think the only one I've watched in recent times was the Frankfurt game, had a wee beer to celebrate that one.

No, the replays show everyone in the world CONCLUSIVELY that the wee turd dived. Embarrassing needing to do stuff like that to get ahead against Livingston given the ridiculous financial gulf but I expect nothing less.

It’s fine you proved my point. Your only interested in decisions that go in Rangers favour

You have zero interest at looking at it in a balanced way. That’s fine. Most diddy fans are the same.

It’s all Rangers fault

In other news …..

Kilmarnock have confirmed their ambition to restore a grass pitch at Rugby Park for the start of the 2025-26 season.But only IF their new training facility at Bowie Park can be completed in time.Rugby Park (cap: 15,003) was the largest stadium with a synthetic surface in Scotland.

But but but but. It’s so safe and the way forward!

Embarrassing that these pitches are allowed in the top league!

You think the move back is because we've decided they're not safe? Lol, ffs man.

Oh dear….

Penalty to Rangers" is the statement that is often repeated in a jokey manner and it's something that's come under the spotlight again.

There is a belief that the Light Blues are awarded a disproportionate amount of spot kicks in comparison to Celtic and the rest of their Scottish Premiership rivals with varying levels of conspiracy theories as to how much the Ibrox side are supposedly helped by referees.

It's also something that's used to discredit captain James Tavernier's impressive scoring rate from right-back and ex-Celtic star Mark Wilson was the latest to reference that, although he does actually give credit to the 32-year-old for his character.

But do the stats tell the same story? Well, it would seem not. You actually have to go back to the 2018/19 season for the last time Gers were awarded more than anyone of their competitors.

You've obviously got a massive chip on your shoulder over all of this. Chill out man, we know you get almost every ridiculous decision going and we know folk need to be pretty much killed on the pitch to have one go against you. Time you embraced it for what it is instead of spending your time worrying what everyone else thinks.
