The only game in the top six today and we are still last on. Laughable.

according to them, our goals were all down to st mirren’s bad defending, and I don’t think they even looked at the st mirren goal… utter waste of time

Weird highlights selection. I don't get why they miss key moments in the main highlights and then talk over them afterward, while making time for some nothing shots on target and replays of winning corners. Made the first half seem more even than it was.

[BILLYHIBS]

Van Veen looked sharp 25 goals two shots on target three blocked shots and a sublime first touch for his goal

Mickey Stewart looked genuinely shocked and surprised that we are now only one point behind his beloved Hearts with no chance of anything from Celtic today

Just watched it, it's such a weirdy programme. They could start with a main presenter who give the feeling that they want to be there! And Richard thingy adds nothing to the conversation.

I do wonder if the fact they have to rush it out for a 7ish showing just adds to the amateur, slap dash feel of it? If they had til later in the day could it be tightened up?

They really need new presenters and pundits though.

Why did Dundee United get the end section of the stand behind the goal next to the St Johnstone "ultras"? Always seems to be shut off for us.

[Aldo]

Are we surprised at this amateurish production??

What’s Mikey Stewart saying these days? During the euro run he said the Gorgie Galactious was easily the best of the rest? Not heard much of his love in

He's not said if we have an identity now yet.

This. MOTD will have a team on each game identifying highlights. BBC Scotland will have someone on a watch noting time of day one of the punters on Open all mics shouts out. Then fit that into the highlight programme. They are competing with Sky to get the goals out first to try and boosr ratings..

they’ve been doing this for a while now, and totally agree, it’s very weird. It’s like someone’s told them it’s an edgy way of producing football highlights to not show all the key moments in the main highlights then triumphantly throw it out in the analysis section (stop laughing), when it actually just looks like they’ve made a mess of editing the highlights and there’s no joined up thinking between the highlights and pundits (which is probably true)

It is true! If they were on at say 10.30pm they could do a proper job and the "experts" could have time to actually analyse the games and provide some "insight". Instead it's a rush to cobble together something that is vaguely watchable in the time slot given, probably the first cut of the footage is all they have time to cobble together. And it shows.

Just part of the problem and this kind of not taking it seriously vibe that comes through doesn't help. It's phoned in every week.

Put it out later in the day, get a good anchor heading up the show who can at least breathe some life and enthusiasm into it, get rid of the tiny cramped studio and mix up the pundits to keep it fresh. Should be easy.

Just watching the highlights of today's game. Anybody see Beaton booking Liam Scales for being pushed to the ground by Todd Cantwell? The refereeing in this country is so corrupt it's not real.

Suits us, hopefully the only point they get is a draw against Hearts.

You’re right, though.

Can any explain how Aberdeen didn't get a free kick possibly a pen for Goldsons bear hug on duk?

Based on Cochrane's he was looking at a possible red card too

Agree you get the impression they almost want it to be rubbish. Decent highlights decent insight and someone who can link it. Think Amy Irons is the best by what I have seen.

Refs, particularly Beaton (don't know who was on VAR), don't do penalties against Rangers. You are spot on, he was fouling him outside the box and it carried on into the box.

Var at Ibrox was Steven Kirkland same guy that gave Aberdeen the ridiculous Duk dive penalty at Aberdeen against us. Stevie Wonder would probably do a better job.

Yup agree she is better than Thompson who is bloody miserable. Need to get Mr Amy McDonald out of there as well.

Take that one and the Sands one against (I think ) Ross County earlier in the season, add them to the countless handball/fouls that should have resulted in penalties against Rangers this season, and tell me that it's not bent.

I know the temptation is to lump Rangers and Celtic into this discussion together, and there's no doubt Celtic get preferential treatment from referees, but Rangers are routinely and systemically favoured by officials and I am 100% certain that it's not just mistakes or incompetence.

All the evidence is there. People will tell you not to believe your own eyes, will dismiss talk of cheating as tin-foil hat stuff, but the stats back it up, there's extensive coverage of decisions that go in their favour - baffling, clear cut decisions that are inexplicable as mistakes, even accounts from old referees who openly admit that they favoured Rangers.

It's a disgrace.

Rangers are now on a run of 52 consecutive league games with no penalties awarded against them... despite clear incidents like the one yesterday.

Maybe that's what all this 'going for 55' chat was about.

Now they can rugby tackle and still not have a penalty awarded against them.

I’m going to put my neck on the line here and say I don’t actually think that’s a penalty

Initial contact started outside the box and by the end both players were tussling with each other.

Fair enough, I more meant by the time they got into the box both players were tussling with eachother. Duk doesn’t even appeal for it? Tbf he probably knew better given the stadium and ref but still.

Would have been soft, but if we use the penalty they got that against us where Rocky was adjudged to have impeded a Rangers player as a barometer, then that call has to be 100% a penalty.

As clear evidence as you will see of different clubs being held to different rules.

An independent enquiry is urgently required to examine corruption within Scottish football. The arrival of VAR has just highlighted how gullible we were to just pass off these refereeing decisions as simple “errors”.

The longer it’s left unchallenged, the more blatant it’s becoming.
