so if jack wins this appeal. u think words have to be said to refs.

05 Dec 2017 01:11:02
If Jack wins his appeal serious words need to be asked to the panel! Its a potential career ending tackle. Still amazed May got up from it and even more so that some of you think its up for debate

05 Dec 2017 06:57:44
You've obviously never played football Tompo88. Jack won the ball clearly and there is something called momentum. He didn't follow through to injure May his momentum carried his leg through after striking the ball and May's leg was where it was. It looked to me as if May was pulling out of any tackle, which is a good way to get your leg broken! The referee (and the SFA establishment) clearly have an agenda against Rangers and the referee's instant red card decision was outrageous. Send off Rangers players and give Celtic penalties and don't dare let Rangers catch up and go top of the league. I'm surprised the referee didn't give Aberdeen a penalty to give them a draw.

05 Dec 2017 07:01:19
He won the ball first, no high foot, no studs showing, his follow through caught may, and it only caught may because he sh@t it and pulled out.

05 Dec 2017 09:20:55
To be fair it was a nasty one, but jack clearly wins the ball. The follow through can't be helped but I think it might be deemed as "not in control", hope I'm wrong but I think the panel will uphold the red card.

05 Dec 2017 09:26:46
What words would you suggest? I can think of two.

05 Dec 2017 09:28:57
If May doesn't brick it he doesn't get hurt.

05 Dec 2017 09:32:11
Stevie May was very fortunate that his leg wasn't smashed to bits by that horrendous intentional follow through tackle by Ryan Jack.

That was a career ending tackle if ever i saw one.

Ryan Jack now has the worst disciplinary record in Scotland's footballing history.4 red cards in 16 games.

He should be banned for at least 6 games and if he gets another red card before the end of the season i think that the sfa should consider banning him sin die.

05 Dec 2017 09:21:04
Tompo what about the tackle Simonvic had on Miller?
Would you say that was a potential career ending tackle or was it just his momentum that made the tackle look worse than what it was?

05 Dec 2017 09:34:29
Jack will not win his appeal this time. he will get banned for 3 games. it doesn't matter what anyone thinks. put it this way. the sfa won't overturn it this time or they will look like one big joke. even though they are lol there isn't a hope in hell Jack will get away with it this time unfortunately he's done even before he walks into the room. the 2 he won will go against him

05 Dec 2017 09:35:19
I agree May definitely slowed his tackle right up but jack did catch him and for me it was a straight red all be it unlucky for our player as it was a 50/ 50 ball to go for until May bottled it

05 Dec 2017 10:31:07
Doiger, how many penalties did Dundee and Hamilton get against your lot? Your not good enough to beat the bottom two teams in the league but it's the referees that are stopping you winning it, let me spell it out for you, d-e-l-u-d-e-d .

05 Dec 2017 11:46:47
Which green stone did you crawl from under ballochi? What the hell have Dundee and Hamilton got to do with it? Anderlecht to win 3-0 tonight @ 50/ 1. That'll do nicely for a £20 bet. Difference is I don't visit the dark side's website, much rather focus on supporting my own team. Slither away now wee man.

05 Dec 2017 13:12:17
Ha ha Doiger. Good for you! I really Don't see the attraction of trolling their sites. Besides having to process the constant words of one syllable I'm afraid I might catch something. If you Google Scots Squad Bam Whisperer You'll find a typical example of a dark side follower. Hilarious!

04 Dec 2017 18:49:23
Are we waiting on some investment to get this managerial appointment 100% right?

04 Dec 2017 18:03:11
Hi Ed, what about a poll on whether Ashley would be welcome if he invested 30-40 million in Gers?

{Ed033's Note -


Ashley Poll

04 Dec 2017 20:24:59
I've said on here before that its great advertisement for ashley for minimal cost against the english league, and we need that kind of investment, nobody else is standing up so why not, yip he's a buisness guy a rich one that's pretty ruthless
Guess what rich buisness guys are pretty ruthless but rich because of it, he'll see what can be made by celtics figures and it might just make him think but that also means investment in the team to reach that level

04 Dec 2017 20:27:14
111 so called fans would have ashley back if he invested 30 million. My god what short memories these people have!

05 Dec 2017 10:11:02
Anyone who wants Fat Mike at ibrox clearly doesn’t care about Rangers!

04 Dec 2017 15:49:41
blue toon only wanting to sell on when we have more coming through, should have said that.

04 dec 2017 14:27:13
those people wanting mike ashley back at ibrox,
rememeber ashley is only in it for ashley. keep him out!

04 Dec 2017 15:53:55
Anybody hoping Ashley will invest in rangers are from the dark side. I mean c. Mon the guy and his pals ripped us to shreds. I'm not a massive fan of king. but at least I know the club is not getting shafted up the bumhole. Ashley is a parasite who will only take from us. not put in. I actually can't believe any rangers fans would welcome him back into ibrox

04 Dec 2017 16:42:52
Do you think all these Arabs, oil tycoons and Americans all grew up with there English prem shorts on thinking one day I would love to own them. there in it for the money. Ashley knows all he will get in return for millions is European wide publicity for his company. We get the cash that no Gers fan is prepared to give

04 Dec 2017 19:14:14
Blue nose . I had a good week laff to that brilliant hahahahahahahaha all these Arabs wi there wee prem shorts on 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

04 Dec 2017 13:20:59
I'm sick of reading or hearing people say Rangers have to, must do, need to do this that or the next think to put speculation to bed I'm glad the club are not giving anything away and it's not the fault the club that the media are speculating or making up stories that may be unsettling for other people of clubs I hope the club do keep playing their cards close to their chest and when their ready to announce it then we'll know bit let's not forget all this speculation it down to the reporters and media outlets NOT Rangers and why shouldn't we take our time to find and appoint who we think is the best person for the job to take us forward and whoever that may be I will still back him and support the team as together we are all rangers and when we get to the next level and win the league title again think of how swwmeet the feeling will be for every single one of us to think how we've came back from all the knocks we've had over that last few years and be stronger for it.

04 Dec 2017 10:53:50
I think the refereeing against Ryan Jack needs investigated. The problem the SPFL appeals panel will have with the latest when it surely will happen is having to deal with the reality of a third over rule. It would make a mockery of refereeing and raise red flags and they'd want to avoid that. I've never seen a ref get a red card out of his pocket quicker than I did yesterday. He couldn't wait when even a yellow would have been harsh.

04 Dec 2017 11:53:35
He has a big target on his back now, read an interesting piece that said he only had 3 reds in his career to date before signing for us and now has 4 in 4 months! The Hibs and Kilmarnock ones were rightly overturned but he does seem to get drawn into handbags very easily and my worry is that it will cost us points in the future and also I would worry about him in Euro competition.

My feeling on the tackle yesterday is that he takes the ball first then the man with the follow through, most decent refs would not have even carded Jack but Collum is a shocking ref as was played out at Fir Park a few days earlier! Remember Simunovic took ball then man when he completely wiped out Kenny Miller in the disastrous old firm at ibrox last season? We had to take that on the chin and surely this will get overturned on appeal regardless of how it makes the refereeing standard look!

04 Dec 2017 12:03:56
Thats bull cause he had one for aberdeen and i'm sure it was against us.

04 Dec 2017 12:11:48
Yes Fod 1 against us, 1 against Celtic and 1 against St. Johnstone until he signed for us.

04 Dec 2017 13:00:04
Did he not give Celtic the penalty against Motherwell

04 Dec 2017 14:33:55
Good post wee bear. You don't even have to consider the dynamics of momentum. Biology and the laws of physics explains the follow through of kicking a ball. It wasn't close to be being about a 50-50 tackle, it's about a guy kicking the ball and movement and position of his foot as it naturally follows through.

04 Dec 2017 15:08:48
Have watched it several times, jack clearly plays the ball even before the Aberdeen player puts his foot in to stop him. I might be old but in my day that was a normal tackle. Watching it live at full speed my initial thought was that it was a free kick to us! It was his "reputation" that made the ref send him off

04 Dec 2017 15:51:38
Personally I’d be more annoyed and concerned if he wasn’t going in 100% to tackles

04 Dec 2017 10:38:01
mccrorie out standing in his new roll.

04 Dec 2017 07:50:34
As a tim i think Mcinnes is your answer, knows what's expected, no fancy ideals like pedro. Its Scottish football, its a mixture of talent and battle. Look at motherwell and St. Johnstone. they gave us both good battles. It will be a platform for better things. Spent my earlier years surrounded by rangers mates in your glory days and as much as i have loved our past few seasons its not good for anyone if you can't compete. i was once told without rivalry football is nothing, doesn't attract crowds, investment or even interest. bring back the old firm games when you are on the edge of your seat as opposed to watching paint dry. because wether both sides admit it. its what we all want.

04 Dec 2017 08:28:26
Fair play mate, jury is out if DMc is that guy but appreciate the balance in your comments and totally agree with them

04 Dec 2017 14:40:22
Good post Bribhoy. I am surrounded by Celtic supporters and although clearly enjoying themselves they don't get the same kick out of it at the moment. We are years behind. We all acknowledge this at the beginning of the season and then within 2 months everybody goes mad saying sack the board the manager and prob the cleaner !

04 Dec 2017 15:48:58
Aye though the manager needed sacking otherwise we would be heading for bottom 6. Joke appointment imo

04 Dec 2017 18:22:57
Bribhoy, that's the most sensible comment in regards to mcinnes that I have read on here for over a month, massively over achieved at aberdeen and will be a great manager for us. People on here wanted allardyce, coleman, pardew, these guys would never come to us! They are the merry go round group of premier league managers and are used to spending big bucks.

Not one of them has ever worked with a budget as small as ours and been successful, infact they have spent tens of millions and never been successful. Then GVB, why would he leave a champs league team with a bigger budget for us? Then the was de boer, wtf? He lasted 17 days at inter then 2 months at palace and you clowns want him at ibrox. Honestly the delusion on here is unreal, did anyone actually go to school?

I read about rangers class, you know who you are gary75. Exactly who and what is rangers class on a small budget? If you measuring class against the 9iar or advocaat or 2nd smith era then you are going to need millions upon millions to get that class again. So I ask what is rangers class? What we need is a man who will not waste 8mil on mexican/ portugese or other foreign diddys without clearly doing there homework first, instead spend it wisely.

Pena still isn't fit, herrera is the most used sub in the league and they cost 5mil. Mcinnes is the man. He spent his pittance of budget wisely over the last 4 years and has always had aberdeen up there.

04 Dec 2017 01:46:57
Try ignoring that last post. Had one too many I think. To put it another way if after 6 weeks Mark Allen has come up with McInnes does that make him incompetent also?

03 Dec 2017 23:49:38
I don’t get this crap about McInnes being the best man for the job, the way I see it is if I was a Motherwell or Hearts fan and my club appointed McInnes then I would think that’s an ok appointment. I certainly wouldn’t be thinking WOW that’s a fantastic appointment. It’s so average it’s not real and as I’ve said many times before I’d much prefer to keep Murty in caretaker role until an OUTSTANDING candidate becomes available or until such times as good results dictate that he be given it permanent on a 1yr rolling deal. (12 from 18 not bad but improvement required to earn that deal)
