You beat me to it. Michael Stewart was correct in his commentary about it.

The way I saw it, McCulloch deliberately went into the back of Griffiths' head with his elbow. A very dangerous and cowardly thing to do to a fellow pro. Of course, to make matters worse, Thomson does nothing about it, just like when Black done much the same to Griffiths in that cup final.

McCulloch also had a very nasty stamp on a Celtic player near the end of the match too. Thomson then awards a free kick to The Rangers! Amazing.

When is something going to be done about this clown Thomson, and McCulloch?

So when does McCulloch get cited for his cowardly elbow on Griffiths, red card every day of the week. He gets away with murder pretty much every game he plays, it does seem like the Rangers captains armband is a force field against referee punishment.

I don't think you can get cited for something the referee is deemed to have dealt with at the time.

I think he'll get away with his elbow drop on Guidetti as well.

the referee didn't deal with it at the time though, no bookings for le thug, only the shameful craig thomson knows the answer to why an assault is not a bookable offence, if someone in the street elbowed someone in the back of the head like that the attacker would be in the clink, and it's not the first time at hampden he's allowed it to go unpunished

The incident was practically identical to what Black did to Griffiths at the start of the 2012 cup final. Thomson did **** all about it then as well.

****.

I used to think that was the case too.

Then the compliance officer offered Jason Cummings a one match ban for his celebration at Tynecastle last month, despite receiving a yellow card for it at the time.

Is that "yellows" as in yellows out or yellow card?

Took the words out of my mouth. One of the biggest cowards I've seen on a pitch. All cheap shots from behind or when a player's down. Truly odious footballer. Well suited to The Huns

Agreed. Him and Black absolutely epitomise everything it means to be hun class. Cowardly, dirty thugs that would break a leg as quick as look at you.

Two thugs in a rank rotten team. Great to see Sevco getting humped again. They got off lightly though, partly due to a shocking pitch which levelled the game, and partly due to Thomson who gave them a helping hand by stopping the play at every opportunity. Really enjoyed the Broony tackle on Black at the end.

Learnt from his ex-gaffer 'Super Salary' - Souness's 1st game against us at ER in '86' when everybody got booked (except Roughy ?)after Souness crocked George McCluskey (00:24). McCoist sneaked up behind Fulton, banjoed him and shot off - unsurprisingly the commentator blamed another one of them for doing it, Colin West !

He is no different to Jim Goodwin other than he plays for Rangers. I'm sure that's a coincidence as to why he gets away with it and Goodwin doesn't......

He gets called 'elbows' for a reason.
Terrible player even in his 'prime'. He dishes it out but can't take anything back.
Will never forget when we had a perfectly good goal chalked off at home cause he flung himself to the ground when Nish was behind him. Nish brought it down beautifully and smashed it in. Think that would've put us 2-1 ahead aswell.

Indeed and Goodwin was banned!

After Boyd got away with his infraction against us earlier in the season I won't hold my breath with regards to McCulloch being brought to rights.

I have no issues with players making tackles or even mistimed ones to an extent but McCulloch knew exactly what he was doing, leading with his elbow.

McCulloch is and always has been a villain, the elbow on Leigh, the stamp on Guidetti then the two footed lunge on Brown immediately after the stamp, he should get a 3 game ban for each of those, that being said he is absolutely guff and I'd rather he was in their team when we play them than not to be honest

Maybe his captains armband has a wee masonic insignia on it to ward off any punishment.

I notice from the video that the linesman / assistant (LOL) is standing flagging just a few feet away from where McCulloch has elbowed Griffiths in the back of the head, so he has definitely seen what McCulloch did. It's a red card all day long.

Why then did he not stop play and report it to Thomson? Also, why did Thomson not take any action either and send him off for violent play. Did he not see anything wrong? Was he watching and following play or not? It just beggars belief that no action whatsoever was taken for what basically was an assault.

Maybe their will be some sort of retrospective action taken, but I doubt it.

When is something going to be done about Craig Thomson?

Can't fans report these type of incidents to the compliance-officer ?.Sending that clip would be ideal as it not only highlight's the assault but would also raise a question-mark, at least, against the linesman's 'ineptness' if not Thomson's complete non-action ?

I wonder if a Cheat was told to keep his red card in his pocket by the powers that be.

Foster should of walked for 2 challenges inside 30 seconds of each other
McCulloch should of walked.

It's quite funny that we need to fork out cash for an appeal when the likes of Boyd gets his thrown out for lack of evidence.

It's a total ****ing joke just like the powers that be.

At least in the EPL you can rescind pretty much straight away and if you are ***** you get papped.

Cheat's performance yesterday epitomises everything he is about....... Shocking referee that cannot get the basics let alone any major decision correct.

I think he was definitely making sure that it wasnt the humiliation that some were predicting. His decision to not play the advantage in the first half was honestly one of the worst I have ever seen and that says something for him.

His attitude to the players was IMO quite telling most refs would have been mortified not to have played advantage and would have genuinely been apologising to the players not with him.

And not to book Black after it was just shocking. If I was as bad at my job as Cheat then it's fair to say I'd be getting re trained and/or extra training in the areas I fall short in or ultimately I'd get my P45.

Thompson is an unprofessional clown and cheat - i'm starting to doubt whether it is just utter incompetence because some of his decisions are just so incredibly ridiculous. How he continues to get the big games is completely beyond me especially after his absolute howler of a performance in the 2012 cup final (as well as countless other howlers). He's an absolute embarrassment. No wonder so many people laugh at Scottish football when we keep putting this idiot on show for the big televised games like yesterdays OF.

Agree entirely and no I dont think it is merely incompetence. His and his officials performance in the Dortmund Malaga match which massively suited UEFA for Malaga to be knocked out given their financial problems at the time was more than incompetence IMO.

Can you imagine if it was a non-OF player who did the same elbow to an OF player?! Would that have gone unnoticed? No danger.

Correct. Look at what they tried to do a few weeks ago with Cummings. He got booked yet they wanted 2 bites of the same cherry and offered him a ban.

One rule for one and one for the others.

If nothing is done in the coming days ie the compliance officer offering him a ban then it's clear they are at it and are doing everything possible to ensure der Hun remain at full strength throughout the season whilst others have players suspended!

It has never been a level playing field. If you complain about it you get shouted down and / or accused of sour grapes etc.

There is, and always has been, a deep seated bias in favour of Rangers in this country.
