Alfredo Morelos’ celebration after scoring for Rangers against Motherwell landed the Colombian a red card after picking up a second yellow for provoking the home support – but Dundee star Paul McGowan’s comments after avoiding a any punishment for it against Partick Thistle at the weekend has laid bare the double standard facing Gers players.…
I said it before a quiet word in Alfies ear by the ref would have been enough.The gesture wasn`t that bad but the ref just wanted to make a name for himself .
Speaking of double standards , we have the Govt getting involved because of racial abuse in England ,yet we have our players getting pelted by all sorts of objects including a glass bottle which is not allowed in football grounds and we hear nothing from the Toy town parliament .Is it because its Rangers ?
Agree - did the same thing not happen to Andy Halliday for an innocuous gesture in the middle of the park against Morton?
I think it’s an ability issue our referees are not trained like the refs that handle the stuff down south. Question? Are they not part time here? Down south they are full time referees. Is that not the case?
by booking morelos it only encourages the yobs to carry on.
