Never a effing penalty

[Ants]

Kenny Millar was already falling before the Bamba tackle....
Anyone with SKY+/HD slow it down and watch......

Never a penalty......

This is definetly time for TV evidence to be resurrected.

How long can these 2nd rate city low lives get away with this????

My friends from the west side of the city were absolutely gobsmacked at this decision... ENOUGH SAID.

Lets get rid of these cheating West of Scotland ****s... both of them...

Introduce the state of the art TV cameras, time out exclusions (if needed), or even the famous "we shall not be cheated by the brother from the lodge" dodgy decision brigade, might have been evident today....
By the way, Ive now calmed down alot......

[Liam89]

agreed, what will it take for them to bring it in? A vital decision on the world cup final?

[FastEddieFelson]

kenny miller diving for the penalty, boyd intentionally elbowing zouma and only getting booked, and mculloch's reaction after he jumped in to liam miller, will all be brushed under the carpet.

nothing to see here boys.

utterly disgusting.

TBF to the ref it did LOOK like a penalty in real time, it wasnt untill i saw the replay i saw it wasnt.

i was on the fence regarding TV evidence but the France v Ireland game swung it for me, its making a mockery of the game now

[J-C]

Miller played the ref right, overhit the ball and with Bamba sticking out his leg, it was perfect for him to run into Bamba and get a penalty. The ref was blatantly biased towards Rangers all game, Boyd with an elbow to Zouma, Katy,McCulloch,Papac and Bougera all fouling when a player was straight through, not enough yellows.

Wot are they cheating barstewards as well ?

[Hibernating (Im a stoopid yam tramp)]

Miller has done that trademark dive many times in royal blue and got his penalty award. It does leave a very bad taste in the mouth, but that's Scottish football and it will never change.

[Banter]

Soft but I reckon it was a penalty, more so than for example zanders hand ball on wednesday.

Also refs stopping games to run to the touchline to rewind their sky tv plasma HDD players might get a bit tedious?

exactly,bamba never touched him.

miller kicked his leg out to try and fall over bamba

the amount of decisions the huns have had this season is breathtaking

[MoantheCabbage]

Tio be honest I thought the ref didnt have too bad a game, ive seen far worse than that this year.

It was never a penalty in a million years though, Neil McCann said that Bamba didnt catch miller he obstructed him WTF????????

Rangers were cute in the tackle and made challenges in areas where the danger could be contained, Professional fouls.

3 nil flatterd them and they will know that. Im all for tv evidence to come into play and I also feel that refs in Scotland should now be made to turn professional so they can be held accountable like our English neighbours.

Apart from when he didn't give them a penalty in the first half and when he didn't book Liam Miller for kicking McCulloch off the ball, right in front of the ref and then didn't book him for kicking someone else in the second half off the ball.

Boyd with an elbow to Zouma, .

bad news folks. boyd wasnt booked for the elbow, it was apparently obstruction, meaning that yellow gave him 2 disciplinary points rather than 3 for violent conduct. this means he can still be available to face celtic!!!!THE REF BOTTLED IT. its these more subtle bits of biase from refs that are worse, not the blatant displays of incompetency.

Obstruction is an in-direct free kick, Never a penalty but I cannot agree that the ref was biased, Boyd's elbow on Zouma was not seen by either of the officials and the foul was given for obstruction. As for the McCulloch and Miller incident the ref stopped play to stop the incident escalating.

If we want to catch Celtic isn’t it good news that Boyd won’t miss the OF game?

I couldn't care less about who is in the Rangers team to face Celtic.

However, as DH says, isn't that good news for Hibs?

yes....but its still bias/cheating/bottle merchant from the ref. boyd clearly elbowed zuma in the puss, no one could deny that.

What about the umpteen fouls by McCulloch, Thonson etc that should've seen either of them get a second yellow and off the park.

Or maybe the fact that Boyd deliberately elbowed Zouma in the face and bottled it by only yellow carding him for obstruction in stead of serious foul play.

Oh aye the so called penalty for them when Weir was grappling with Hogg and both of them fall over together at the same time, have a wee look at it again and get back to me on that one.

Miller didn't really have a hugely blatant kick at McCulloch, more of a slight graze on the back of his leg when their legs were tangled but then again maybe you missed that one as well eh!

[fiolex1]

I just hate the Weedgie cheating **** they call RFC, if it's no going their way have the Ref bottle it, and then cheat, what a great institution RFC is.

[emmjayfox]

Im pretty sure Celtic will be glad Boyd IS playing against them.His scoring record against them is poor.

[paxtonhibby]

Did anyone see the grin on the assistant refs pus after boyds penalty?Even if he had seen the elbow on Zouma therse no way it would be highlighted.
Has something got to be done involving o/f supporting officials,or am I getting a bout of cellicparanoia

Refs would not be required to run to the touchline to rewind for t.v. replays.
We simply have a 4th or 5th official sitting in the stand viewing games on the monitor. They can easily contact the ref through their microphones which all SPL refs now have.

It wouldn't even slow play down that much as replays are pretty instant and can usually be reviewed BEFORE the game has restarted, as in the case of Boyd's elbow on Zouma.

Get T.V. evidence in to action now

What would we all have to talk about on a monday if TV evidence was used? In general, I like the controversy it generates, gets the passion going, raises the atmosphere for subsequent games etc.

I'm for anything that keeps up the pretence that football is still just a game and not big business. Making the game more exact and flawless would rip more soul out of it in my opinion - and in the long run the big teams would benefit most. It's the wee unexpected things that give smaller teams a chance in any given match.

Of course, in Scotland with it's glasgow bias, maybe it would make refs stop and think about the decisions they are giving. But I doubt it.

[BoltonHibee]

I thought that the ref was one of the best we have had at an OF ground. There is no way he could be accused of siding with them as far as the decisions go. The penalty was not a penalty, and is more a case of Miller conning the ref. Whn you watch it at speed you could see why he gave it, obviously slowed down and viewed from other angles its not a penalty.

Hogg fouled Weir in the Box and the referee let it go, I am sure in seasons past that would have resulted in a Rangers spot kick.

The difference between the sides today was a whittaker goal, a cheating Miller dive and a slip by Mcbride that has resulted in an injury.

The ref was OK today in my book.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

It's just selective vision from the officials - they definitely all saw it was a penalty, no 2 ways about it, clear as crystal, but as for the elbow on Zuma

I'm not so sure, I think Zemmama would have been booked for simulation if neither the ref or the fourth official saw what actually happened. He was holding his face, so if the officials thought it was only obstruction, then Zemmama should have been booked.

Perfect example of 4th ref using video was in the Scotland/Wales game when Matt Evans scored. The ref wasn't sure if Evans ws onside or not and also wanted to make sure he was in bounds when he touched down, it took all of 30 seconds for the 4th ref to state inhis ear that it was a good try.

It would've taken a 4th ref 10 seconds to see that Boyd deliberately elbowed Zouma and another 30 seconds to see Miller dive, lets get it in now and stop all the controversy.
