A controlled, unpretty game at Livingston today.
Rangers players playing within themselves on an absolutely diabolical surface that looked pretty waterlogged half an hour in.
Good win at a hard place to go, avoided any injuries for next week and tavs free kick was a beauty.
Looks like Aberdeen done there usual lying down, absolutely no Surprise at that as they have the worst head to head record in the league

Celtic playing Aberdeen off the park, 2-0 after 13 minutes.
The Rangers struggling to break through at the Spaghettihad after 25 minutes, you know what's coming next...
You called it! PENALTY RANGERS! The Rangers struggling to break through at the Spaghettihad after 25 minutes, you know what's coming next...
lol
Last week VAR ignored a rugby tackle in the box that should have been a penalty for Partick Thistle. Also awarded a penalty for a foul yards outside the box.
This week a tug on the shirt when the other defender was already winning the ball, which happens in lots of games without any punishment, VAR suddenly wants to dish out a penalty. Complete double standards.
It's nearing every week Rangers are getting an unfair helping hand.

Rangers won't win the league. It has kept it down to 9 points and create false hope.

That's Livingston's third game against Rangers this season.
First game Livingston had a late equalising goal wrongly disallowed. Lost 2-1.
Second game Livingston were winning 1-0 at Ibrox. VAR intervened and upgraded a yellow card to a red. It was a bad tackle, but sometimes they are yellow. It wasn't clear and obvious error for VAR to intervene. Rangers equalised late on.
The same comments about the Rangers' penalty yesterday are everywhere. Shirt pulls happen all the time and they are not picked up. Why did VAR suddenly decide to penalise an off the ball pull yesterday?
They have put themselves in another sticky position where fans will want a penalty for the same thing in every game now. It won't happen.
I read that neither of Oméonga's fouls deserved a booking. The second yellow was never a yellow. Roofe throws his leg backwards and takes a dive to win the freekick.
Three games and all games have game defining decisions for Rangers. I'm sure if Livingston finish in the top 6 the decisions will equal themselves up in the last game.

Correct. Doesn't affect us as we keep winning. It should be the Livingston fans up in arms about it this time.I just saw the second yellow that led to the free kick they scored, games a bogey with officiating like that.

Part and parcel of football games is talking about the big decisions and wrong calls in games. People are only going on about it all the time because it's happening all the time. It's far from just Celtic fans that are unhappy with the decisions in games. Recent rivals of Rangers are calling the decisions blatant and obvious cheating. They are furious and with good reason too.
There's not many posts on Livingston's forum, but they were already predicted what would happen before it did.

Yes, we all know how it appears, but constantly greeting about it,
A) Won't change it

Every thread on this forum has supporters greeting about decisions. It's part of football. Every week there is VAR errors it dominates English football threads and shows. Their usage of VAR is still vastly better than Scottish football. A) Won't change it
B) Makes you look like spoilt wee kids
C) Gets pretty f
king tedious very quickly. Why does it upset you? Your rare appearances on this thread are when Rangers are under scrutiny.
On a near weekly basis everyone is talking about controversial and wrong decisions in Rangers games. We are at the point when too many games are ending in controversy and they are being widely discussed. The live broadcast, the highlights shows, the newspapers, other fans are all talking about it. There's more discussion about decisions than there is football as these decisions are defining and changing games. They are the biggest talking points of the games.
I genuinely believe we are nearing the point something has to change. There has never been a stronger feeling in Scottish football and the credibility and integrity is under question. Games can't keep ending in controversy and everyone talking about decisions and the officials and not the football.
VAR was supposed to be the tool to stop controversial errors and genuine mistakes happening. It has done the opposite. Rangers have been VARed to a different standard to all other teams.
Fans can't be left with genuine feelings that their team is going to be cheated before the whistle blows. Sadly they do and the decisions in the games back that up.

Pulling a shirt in the box with var is stupid, if he’s clearly not going to win the ball then It’s absolute stupidity. Shirt pull = foul.
Can’t remember omeongas first foul but his second was again stupid, roofe is too clever for him and has the ball on his left side, omeonga tackles from his right, roofe sees the challenge coming in and moves the ball away. Another foul and stupidity from omeonga because he knows he’s already been booked.
Celtic fans in here creating controversy over what is standard refereeing. It was the same with the Partick thistle game and pretty much every game before that. It’s some weird inferiority complex and is best ignored.

Shirt pulling and jostling happens in the box at every set play and cross. There are very, very rarely given as a penalty. Usually the only time they are given is when they stop a goal scoring chance. Morelos was nowhere near the ball and the first defender was always winning the ball.

VAR hasn't intervened in similar circumstances before, but did yesterday. That's the problem. It's Rangers constantly benefitting from decisions that no other team is getting. The decisions are always given when Rangers are struggling and needing a helping hand.
Celtic fans creating controvery? It's decisions that are being discussed widely across Scottish football. It's strange you only see it as a Celtic instigated issue when most people are on the same page. It is a poor attempt at deflecting.
Weird inferiority complex? You were the person accusing Aberdeen of lying down to Celtic in your last post.

The nowhere near the ball doesn’t help your argument it makes it worse. Why pull his shirt and try to stop him jump if he’s not going to get it?
What similar circumstances has there been since var was introduced?
I don’t see any fans of other teams talking about it, in fact the only one I do has just said it’s tedious listening you all greeting on about decisions

Shirt pulling happens in every game. Why aren't they all given as penalties? There would be multiple penalities given in every game if shirt pulling is punished by penalties.
Partick Thistle didn't get a penalty last week when Tillman rugby tackled the Patrick Thistle player to the floor.
On every occasion you have a chance to greet about Celtic you're all over the forum. Sadly you've not had a lot to greet about so are reduced to the yellow card count conspiracy and suggesting teams are lying down.
You only see Celtic fans talking about it?
Read the forums of the teams you are playing. Read the newspapers, watch the games and highlights on TV. Everyone is talking about the controversial decisions. They are the biggest talking points of games. I'm suspecting that's a huge big porky pie and an attempt to deflect as you cannot be that oblivious.

I’ll ask again as you’ve skirted round the actual question, is shirt pulling in the box as per the rules a penalty? Simple yes or no?Shirt pulling happens in every game. Why aren't they all given as penalties? There would be multiple penalities given in every game if shirt pulling is punished by penalties.

I really don’t care to go on opposing teams forums and I think it’s quite disturbing to do it on the team your rivals are playing for some sort of validation
