CLUB RESPONSE TO SCOTTISH FA’S DECISION TO DISMISS OUR APPEAL:
RANGERS are extremely disappointed with the decision of the Scottish FA’s Judicial Panel to dismiss our appeal against the second yellow card shown to Daniel Candeias in the closing seconds of last Saturday’s match against St Mirren.
Rangers afforded the governing body the opportunity to let common sense prevail and we are surprised they have chosen not to do so by correcting what was, and what remains an inexplicable decision by the match referee, Willie Collum. Rangers shall now seek a fundamental review of the rules relating to red cards which result from two bookings of a player in a game.
If one of these decisions is obviously wrong, it must be possible to correct that mistake. It is wrong that players’ livelihoods and careers can be impacted without the opportunity of redress, especially when the official responsible for the miscarriage of justice is allowed to continue as though beyond question or reproach.
It defies belief that this same referee, who got it so blatantly wrong last Saturday, is awarded one of the biggest matches in Scottish football this weekend while Daniel Candeias is denied the right to go to his work. This, frankly, is unacceptable.
Furthermore, it is understood that a number of people within the Scottish FA are in no doubt Mr Collum’s judgment was flawed and Rangers shall also now be submitting a formal complaint about the performance of this referee. The manner in which he reacted to an incident involving our player made it obvious he did not give due consideration to his decision.
This is by no means the first time errors of judgment have been made in matches involving this official and clearly there is an underlying issue which requires to be addressed.

Cant disagree with the silly rules - but they rules are set and if they want them changed it needs to be agreed by everyone and not changed willy nilly because one of the bigger clubs are aggrieved

Astonished. Genuinely astonished, that The Flat Slug knows a synonym for 'beggars'.

Willie Collum is a terrible referee and the decision to send Candeias off was awful however I'm not quite sure how they can be surprised that the appeal failed. Under the current rules, there is no framework in place to allow an appeal of a yellow card, except for simulation or mistaken identity. There was no "mistaken identity" at play here, it was simply a bad decision.
This appeal was nothing more than a publicity stunt.

Any statement from them about Allan McGregor’s violent conduct going unpunished this season against Motherwell ?
Their real intentions and ideology are hidden in plain sight ! SFA will hide, Willie Young will hide, media will claim ignorance to the real issue - perpetrating social division and using football as the platform !
Enough is enough - punish The Rangers for bringing the game into disrepute !!

Collum's decision was an odd one. Applying the rules, however, is not.
Presumably that's the Rangers straight to the top of the Statement League with yet another outrageous pile of guff?

I feel slightly dirty for agreeing with most of a Sevco-released statement.
They are absolutely correct in all that they say before disappearing off into the strange "Collum has it in for us" part at the end.
They're not saying anything that we haven't said many times on this forum. It was a ludicrous decision and there must be some sort of a framework for a crazy decision like that to be overturned.
It is staggering that Willie Collum gets the game tomorrow night and Candeias has to sit out his team's fixture at the weekend as punishment for a non-crime.
Ha ha.

It does go off-piste at the end, and the stuff about Collum is unnecessary, but it is far from shameful (which is their usual standard).

I know refs and who they support - none let that influence decisions. They are implying the opposite.

Yes, the statement loses it near the end. But I think it needed said. Shameful it is not.Last edited by Silky; 08-11-2018 at 06:12 PM.

The Rangers will win nothing again this season. Their ridiculous statements are simply designed to put pressure on the officials and authorities to give them even more help than they already get from them. The Rangers are by far the worst thing about Scottish football.

After all, all we want is some consistency.
And the only consistency we'll see is the SPFL refusing to enforce its own rules when Sevco is the transgressor.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

dock them 3 points and tell them if they issue another stupid statement they'll continue to be punished.
shameless creeps.
