To those who think Scottish football isn't corrupt

There was a comment before the game on the radio yesterday about the reason Rangers get so many penalties is they get lots of people in the box. It’s laughable.

There's some truth in that of course – on average you'd expect a team that spends more time attacking to get more penalties than one that spends more time defending.

Problem is, over a long period they get a number of penalties that's disproportionate to their touches in the opposition box when compared to other teams:

Corruption favouring Hearts, Aberdeen and the Lanarkshire powerhouses Motherwell as much, proportionally, as Rangers there 😁

For KP -

Do the board intend to speak out again regarding decisions, and are we going to cut the alloaction like BK suggested they might the other week?

Not cutting it for financial reasons is putting a price on allowing sectarianism. Do the club view sectarianism the same as if it was say racism against a black man?

Or are they going to roll over and say nothing as expected?

Very telling also to see Police Scotland filmimg and focussing on any potential misbehaviour from our fans at the bottom of the east. Meanwhile sustained chants of 'up to our knees in fenian blood' are left unchecked in the South Stand. It's disgusting and depressing.

I've heard Hibs Fans complain about this a couple of times to the Polis that escort us to the Govan underground, after games at Ibrox, and the response is always along the lines of, "what do you expect us to do, arrest all of them?".

Apparently the only other option is to ignore them and do literally nothing.

Ben Kinnell or higher has to call this out. Refs are cheating and completely wrecking the game

While rangers and Celtic run Scottish football,nothing will change,the referee’s will always turn a blind eye.the old firm want to move abroad,but nobody wants them,unless it’s for testimonials.we are stuck with them,and their antics.there is nothing we can do.

More spineless **** from Montgomery and the club.

he doesn’t need to put himself in the firing line at a crucial time of year. Once we’re in the top 6 different scenario. So I understand him taking the diplomatic route

The diplomatic route hasnt helped us in the slightest with decisions contiually going against us, which might ultimately cost us a place in the top six.

is this not a bit of a blunt tool though based on the “flaw of averages”?

Not all touches are equal.

Have the same mental tussle with expected goals.

I think the difference here is quality of play/ player.

I recall hearing Sportsound back in the day “Watson screws it over the bar from 6 yards out”.

Wish all the SPFL clubs could just withdraw from playing them and let them have a league of 2.

Maybe someone with the skills required can look at possible encroachment by Lundstrum at the penalty. Plenty of replays of the penalty but none for the follow up. I’ve tried to freeze frame it and it looks like when Tavenier strikes the ball, Lundstrums foot is on the line at the D which would be encroaching.

Def not encroaching. See here, Lundstram between Obita and Maolida:

He's thinking about what to have for a post match snack. My favourite player right now but that is shocking from him.

At minimum should have been trying to block him.

Just watched it again, and if they never scored there, I feel it would be a retake from VAR as Marshall is about 1 yard off his line?
Think what that would add to how everyone is feeling today!!!

He's actually doing the "Wonderwoman pose". Apparently psychologists say that pose can raise your confidence, but that really wasnt the time for it.

after watching the first replay back i thought Lundstram just timed his run perfectly


still a cheating git at the red card for M-W

The cheating will never end because all there is currently is fans on social media screaming and yelling to people who aren't listening. If the fans of every other club than the uglies staged a two game boycott there would be action and it would happen pretty damn quickly. It will take the owners losing huge sums of money en-masse for them to do anything about the cheating.

Totally agree. Ingrained issues need radical actions.

Embarrassing for them both. Obita was a disgrace yesterday and should be looking at an extended time out the team.
Everyone having a go at the ref when our own players are acting like that? Obita was still standing there when the ball hit the back of the net. If we keep hiring players with his attitude it doesn’t matter what the ref is like.

If he makes even the slightest attempt to cut across Lundstram, he's not getting there that split second ahead of Newell.

He’s been one of our best players lately so the above is a bit extreme to say the least. Aye he was poor last night but to say he deserves an extended time out the team is a bit dramatic

I think Obita has been pretty good overall for us but there is no doubt he has cost us several times now with total brain farts (add in Aberdeen semi, St Mirren away).

Last night was a shocker all round from him.

Next to Joe Newell in the stand presumably?

Why did people respond to the OP? Their second post in this thread shows that they have a poor grasp of the English language

Mistakes I can live with but when your attitude is that you just don’t care enough then I don’t want you near the club. There is no excuse for just standing watching a goal being scored against you.

What a ridiculous comment. Obita has been one of our best players over the past few months. He was poor last night and made a daft decision. His attitude has been excellent.
