[monarch]

Compliance officer to take no action re Allan McGregor’s kick out during Sunday’s hatefest per Sky Sports. Should we be surprised?

It dosen't surprise me one bit...

I can only imagine if a Hibs player kicked him they would be getting a ten game ban.

Absolutely unbelievable!
After the madness of Morelos getting let off...and now this.

And you wonder why people say SFA is corrupt!

[danhibees1875]

They've set the precedent that it's okay to kick people, and at least they're being consistent in their stupidity.

The SFA should be applauded for not being both stupid and inconsistent with this one.

[Pretty Boy]

Well I'm almost as shocked as I was when the officials ignored it in the 1st place.

That's 2 in a week he has got away with. No corruption though, just paranoia.

[itslegaltender]

only let off to keep pressure of Collum. The ridiculous overreaction to Jacks 50/50 tackle with Rogic has led to this.

What are you confused about? What did you think was going to happen? It was an absolute certainty that nothing was going to be done, considering how many times he's done this sort of thing with absolutely no action taken against him.

Remember a game against them at ER quite a number of years back. He suddenly went down holding his head rolling between the goals. Think it was Riordan? that he was claiming assaulted him. Even although the video replays showed that absolutely nothing happened.

Was any action taken against him for his blatant cheating? Well i'll leave you to work that one out.

Consistent for The Rangers and Hearts anyway....

[Biggie]

No wonder Scottish football is mocked.
So Morelos can kick out (booking only), Naismith can scream in someone's face, and have a wee stamp (nothing to see here) now Macgregor can kick out...and no action
Not to mention incorrect sending offs being approved...

When you think Lennon got a ban for a celebration !!
The ball is well and truly burst, wow.......

Exactly. Also surely means no ref can send a player off during a game if they spot an incident like it? Absolutely ridiculous situation to be in.

They've made a mess of it, and they just need to own up to their mistakes, draw a line under it and move in: "we've made a mess of the Morelos incident, and subsequently the Naismith and McGregor incidents - from now on we won't be taking such an approach to violent conduct". Then they can't really be blamed when they eventually have to ban someone from doing similar. I somehow doubt they'll do any of that though!

To be fair, no other teams have attacked their opposition yet - as far as I know.

It's also of little surprise that out of the 4 incidents, they were divided up between Rangers and Hearts players...

[Greenbeard]

Do we know who were the three former match officials on the panel?

[ancient hibee]

When you have a panel made up of 3 ex refs you are never going to get a unanimous decision to make a current ref look stupid.

that will depend on which team the offender is playing for, and who the referee is

[macca70]

You can be guaranteed that the next Hibs player to be involvolved in an incident that’s refferred to the compliance officer, we’ll get hammered. If a Hibs player had done what McGregor or Naismith did, the SFA would probably get the Police involved and have the player appearing at the Sherriff court for assault!!

You're forgetting the 5th incident. The complete non incident that was upheld against the Killie player.

[Fife-Hibee]

Anybody see Djoums shocker for Hearts against St Mirren? Another sweep job.

[Coco Bryce]

Unbelievable.

So that’s not a foul - But they think Rogic ‘fouled’ Jack?

Think he was booked so nothing more can be done, I'm sure. Dreadful challenge though.

Indeed. But it's an utterly ridiculous rule that has no real logic to it. Gives certain referees the opportunity to protect the players they like though, simply by booking them.

Yep- and a stonewall red card it was too

As for Macgregor call- absolutely incredible

[matty_f]

Personally I'm glad that they have their priorities right and hammer Lennon for his plane celebration whilst letting kicks go unpunished.

Somebody is going to get seriously hurt by a plane celebration one of these days, so they're right to clamp down on this.

Hopefully they start turning a blind eye to sectarian chanting as well, as I for one, am sick of the persecution of bigots and that.

That wasn't violent conduct, it was a tackle.

They've managed to apply both stupidity and inconsistency to that one between the Killie and Djoum incidents.

Equally, you wonder why Gerrard and other assorted The Rangers officials can claim that everyone in Scottish football is against them and the weegie meeja can print it with a straight face.

[Austinho]

Isn't this a brand new Compliance officer too? Absolutely shocking job so far.

[Baader]

A joke but not exactly surprising. Its no wonder Scottish football gets such a bad name (undeserved) when we have these idiots mis-running the show.

McGregor went out his way to fall on top of Peter Hartley leading with his elbow against Motherwell the other week. It wasn't picked up on by ref or tv as he was sneaky with it, making it look like a fall. But he knew who it was and what he was doing.

[Ozyhibby]

This is what happens when we all ‘move on’.

Try being a 'plane and cupping your ears at the same time!! Utter carnage worthy of jail time.

Decades of practice.
