ffs -whats up wi all you guys on here---flanagans elbow was a red all day long---we got lucky as going down to 10 men at that point may have been a disaster---we won't miss flanny going in to next season as we have adequate cover---.

14 May 2019 23:19:35
Missing the point
Simonovic caught jermaine
Different rules from lawell n pals
Enough is enough.

14 May 2019 23:21:14
It's the Simunovic flying arm into Defoe's face that sticks in my craw. Look at the footage. It's freely available to everyone, except apparently the compliance officer.

15 May 2019 00:01:17
He did the same to Morelos in the last old firm game last year and got sent off. Same crime but different justice to suit the SFA and Lawell’s puppets.

15 May 2019 06:04:11
We're can I find details this footage because I mist defoe getting elbowed.

15 May 2019 06:37:34
DS, just google Simunovic elbow and you will find it there somewhere. there's people posting it on twitter and things.

15 May 2019 06:44:32
The Compliance Officer investigates the complaint. The panel makes the decision NOT the CO.

15 May 2019 07:51:52
The incident has to be referred to the panel first. That's where the problem lies.

15 May 2019 08:38:31
Flanagan went against SG and lost discipline and could have cost us against them. I’m sure SG has let him know that but hats off to him for landing one on the wa£&@? r should have been harder.

15 May 2019 09:52:24
main issue is he never caught Broony in the face. yet he went down cluching his coupon like a 303 went through him. Gets up and guess what. not a mark on him. He should have been off for simulation.

15 May 2019 10:40:45
what about the fact the referee seen the flanagan incident and deemed it a yellow! And never changed his mind! yet going against their own rules the SFA still decided to change it to a red!

15 May 2019 12:53:45
Barrow they aren't going against their rules. It was reported to the CO and then referred to the panel. That is the new procedure and it has been all season. If you cast your mind back it this has reversed a few decisions against us this season. It was a RED all day long. It matters not a jot now.

14 May 2019 22:27:46
Not a rumour lads, just an opinion. I've just seen on Sky Sports that Reece Oxford from West Ham is on his way to the Bundesliga to sign for Augsburg for 3 million quid. This is exactly the type of player we should be looking at. 3 million for a 20 year old who has masses of improvement still to come and a potential huge profit in the future. I know the Bundesliga is more attractive than the SPL but it's worth a try surely. Who knows, maybe we did enquire.

15 May 2019 08:23:46
We wouldn’t afford his wages that would be the problem I would have thought.

15 May 2019 09:42:17
GANNNET, correct. It might be a 3 million transfer fee but his wages will substantially more than we could afford.

14 May 2019 21:55:47
Mijo caktas is a player I've heard good things about att mid from hadjuk split hopefully our scouts could have a look at him since stevie g seems to like the Croatian market.

15 May 2019 07:35:53
Sounds like a bit of a prick!

14 May 2019 21:31:07
Pure quality our manager steven gerrard goes into the district bar, to have a pint and blether with the rangers supporters in the pub. He's keen in mixing in with the blue half, glasgow culture. Terrific surprise for our supporters who were actually in the pub and tremendous gesture by stevie G for wanting to do it! The guy is pure class!

14 May 2019 22:52:31
Fair play, I hope he had an interpreter with him!

14 May 2019 20:43:31
Fellow Bears

Great result at the weekend and let us savour our victory. Upgrading Flannigans to a red proves that the compliance (and I use this term lightly) is totally biased, corrupt and is no service to Scottish football other than make Scottish football a laughing stock. No wonder we can't get a better slice of the TV revenue from SKY, BT or anyone else

Simanovic did the same to Defoe, but no response. There was more coverage of the pigeons than that incident shown by the BBC. (Blatantly Biased for Celtic)
How'many issues have been raised not just on Rangers incidents but the whole league. Now look at the stats of the "Always cheated never defeated brigade" and not once have they been cited.
The odds on that happening to any team are the same as winning the lottery.

What I'm saying is, out of every tackle from every celtic player in the whole season the ref seen every one clearly enough that it did not require to be reviewed . F*****G B******T

Time to expose this rubbish and complain under the trades description act that the SFA are corrupt and not providing the service they are promoting.

14 May 2019 20:49:36
If that was any other team then that would stay a yellow. Surprise surprice; let's punish Rangers yet again.

14 May 2019 21:07:24
Skyblue the CO NEVER upgraded a thing. Incidents are reported to the CO. The CO then asks the ref to look at it again as its been reported. The ref has clearly said in retrospect its a RED and therefore its been upgraded. If it’s reported the CO must ask the referee to look again. That’s the rules I’m afraid. IF the ref hadn’t changed his mind there would’ve been NO further action.

14 May 2019 21:30:20
Yes but who reported it to the CO. Lowell, celtic the BBC . My point is why have Celtic never cited.

14 May 2019 21:31:51
Paranoid. boo hoo everyone's picking on rangers.

14 May 2019 22:01:58
Col
A typical answer from someone of lesser intelligence.

I assume you are the typical celtic fan in total denial and spend your time on Rangers Forums. Ask yourself honestly, have you seen any tackles carried out by your players and thought “ Oh rubbish that’s a red” and nothing came of it.

Take the green tinted glasses off watch and listen to Sportscene have an honest review and you will understand.

Unfortunately I know that the words, watch, listen honest and understand is completely beyond your intelligence especially in the one sentence.

14 May 2019 22:02:50
The CO said she looks at all incidents reported NO MATTER THE SOURCE and then makes a decision. I have reported several incidents involving mhanky players this season and not a single one has been acted upon. The corruption is rife.

14 May 2019 22:50:13
Col

Your team got picked on badly on Sunday. 2-0 going on 5-0. Boohoo to you too.

Pucker up your bum and get ready for next season.

Also, a poor Hearts team are going to take you twice as they are hungrier.

No treble and 3 points gap at the season's end.

14 May 2019 22:55:01
Col, the master of the one liners. Don't you know any more words? I blame the schools.

15 May 2019 08:20:31
Bottom line is we should focus on things that rangers players can influence such as behaviour and discipline because if they did we would not have to put rangers in a situation where they are punished. In my humble opinion we focus on our own issues rather than focus on other clubs or governing bodies.

14 May 2019 19:31:43
With the talk of new players coming in and talk of promoting youth the axe is going to need to swing and get rid of a lot of fringe players. Who would u all get rid of.

14 May 2019 20:23:25
Lafferty, Dodoo, Holt, Grezda as well probably. Alnwick and Fod will be away as well so need a solid young back up GK.

14 May 2019 17:23:49
Do we really need anyone else coming in this window? Goldson and Katic, Tav and a revitalised Flanno. Davis Kamara Jack, Arfield Kent Defoe/ Morelos. I understand competition for places but there's a few from the youth system I could see in squad for next season.

14 May 2019 17:53:58
Trial by Sportscence once again.

14 May 2019 19:02:18
Yes of course we need to bring in new players. We finished 2nd in the league and never made it passed semi finals of any cup.

14 May 2019 23:22:13
Here is an interesting thing

The long term dropped players i. e. Flanno and Barasic have come back better and stronger.

Maybe, just maybe, Steve G knows what he is doing.

It is now being reported that Flanagan's tap on broon's chin may be investigated by celtic's ex employee, The Compliance Officer. It may have been a yellow on Sunday because last time broon went doon clutching his face was because he was tapped on the chest by Morelos.
Anyway's I was of the understanding that the Compliance Officer only got involved if the referee did not see it or did not card it.

14 May 2019 09:30:11
Brown said the referee told him it was yellow because he never hit his face but Brown was rolling about holding his face. The referee must surely have thought he was play acting then and is that not a cardable offence?

14 May 2019 09:40:36
The ref dealt with it so its my understanding that the compliance officer or the sfa can't take retrospective action👍.

14 May 2019 10:08:42
The Scotsman is reporting that the ex Celtic employee is indeed looking at it.

14 May 2019 10:35:57
Scott Broon AKA Mr Tumbles.

14 May 2019 10:46:47
Well let's hope they also look at the Defoe elbow but hey that wasn't covered or highlighted by the usual trial by TV and the biase media.

We slaughtered them on the park so the only way they can get to us is off of it.

Imo that is area where SG lacks experience when the media ask other managers like Clark n Lennon about incidents that their players where involved in they deflect the question by highlighting incidents that went against their players.
Our management team and board need to start highlighting incidents like the Defoe elbow incident because from where I'm sitting it's all one sided against our club.

If your a neutral and have been reading the press and listening to the media over the season u would think that our club have been awarded wrongly 19 pens and that 70% of our players are thugs and need anger management sessions and that the referees and SFA are biase toward our club.
Either our board or someone from one of the fan groups need to release a video highlighting all the decision and incidents that have went against us, as at present your only getting one side of the story.

14 May 2019 11:08:42
Coldo, further action can be taking if they consider ref got it wrong. Example hibs player booked at parkhead. Was upgraded to a red.

14 May 2019 11:52:24
I stand corrected jboy, wouldn't surprise me then if flanagan gets a ban👍.

14 May 2019 12:15:58
Maybe just ban the buffalo again as well for good measure.

14 May 2019 12:32:48
To be fair seeker I don't think we'd miss him😕👍.

14 May 2019 13:41:23
Expect a Sportscene special on John Flanagan's elbow incident if the compliance offer doesn't get involved.

14 May 2019 14:42:31
The so called “elbow” looked much worse worse than actually was although agree Flanagan did raise arm after provocation from Brown. If look at video after booking Flanagan and Brown continue to discuss the incident and Brown is smiling and having a joke with Flanagan about it.

14 May 2019 15:24:42
after broonie was tickled in the chest by Morelos he went down as if hit by a sledgehammer clutching his face and writhing about in agony then as soon as Morelos gets carded he is all smiles.

14 May 2019 16:26:10
Broonaldo is just a rat.
