Refereeing fairness.

Katic given a yellow card and Celtic a penalty for shirt pull in box on Julian.

Christie had already had a yellow card 49th minute.

In the corner 55 mins that led to the corner that Katic scored from, Christie pulls Aribo down by the shirt neck.

Well its a penalty and a yellow card. would've been 2nd yellow and Christie off. right? Nope nothing given.

Also note Clancy throughout the game was quick to give players first yellow for holding onto shirts/ dragging back with arm. Correctly as per rules. He immediately stopped dishing out yellows doing whenever any Celtic player already on a booking did it. It was now only a foul.

Boli should have been off for dragging morelos down by neck when he broke past him on touchline. Christie was lucky not to get s straight red for sexually assaulting morelos. You would get jailed if you grabbed someone there like that off the park. Maybe wee Alfie should call the cops in, since they all want him banged up for a gesture 👍.

And there was no trial by Sportscene yesterday. surprise, surprise eh? Morelos was pilloried last year and given retrospective ban for less. Rangers should insist the Compliance Officer is forced to take similar retrospective action against Christie and Bolingoli.

Guys, if you check my Decisions Not Going Rangers' Way article I wrote, you will understand why refs are hesitant to give us decisions.

I stated that something needs to be done. Imo, referees are terrified to give us decisions due to the backlash they get from that lot across the city, from their board to their fans.

So when the power shift is completed, stewarty, they needn't worry about Celtic's tantrums.

Hard to argue with any of that Stewarty. That's why I'm all for VAR being introduced as it will eradicate this and take the pressure off the officials. It might be a pain in the bahookie and games might need to run on slightly, but I think for things like off the ball incidents, offsides, penalty decisions and the likes of the handball on Sunday we must get these decisions right.

If we had var and the same things happened in reverse I would still back every decision 100%. The camera sees everything and from multiple positions. We need to take the heat off the officials. How many times will their insurance companies pay for replacement windows and cars?
