No it’s not, it’s not even remotely close Crawfy.
If that centre half doesn’t barge into him, he stays on the pitch.

And if he doesn't lash out he stays on the pitch. Soft or not its a red card all day long.

So it’s ok for players to go round barging into opponents off the ball?

You've lost the argument, football is a physical game. The striker was stupid and the red card was within the laws of the game. He walks all day long. Straight red and the referee called it 100% spot on.

Give over Crawford, You can’t even tackle like that near the ball these days without a foul being given, never mind off the ball.

Never a red IMO but Morelos gave the ref a decision to make, some will give red some will give yellow or nothing.
Haven't heard it yet but I believe Gerrard gave a classless post match interview, very scathing on Aberdeen saying the aren't in Rangers class and that Rangers have been hard done by with the referees for years

Saw the script of what he said...….pretty poor form really.
He is not going to make too many friends up here with that sort of guff.
Three shots on target in 96 minutes that is what his Rangers team had, Blimey 'O Riley.
Fair play to them for sticking in with 10 men and nearly winning the game, but please don't start kidding us on they are suddenly a bunch of star players.

It was priceless.
Aberdeen are not in Sevco class, despite them also not having a shot on target all day.

I can't recall any part of The Laws where 'provocation' is an excuse for violent conduct!
It was the (idiotic) reaction that cost the red card!
In lieu of VAR, the CH (McKenna) will almost certainly be dealt with by the Disciplinary Tribunal!

This is the interview
Seems it’s a manager trying to boost his players after what i suspect was a deflating equaliser

He did, no need really, after only one drawn game too. Expected a bit more of him tbh. Wouldn't get that from Rodgers. Trying to win over the fans I expect many of whom have a siege mentality and chips on shoulders about perceived treatment after their self-induced financial demise a few years ago.

I never said there was rules for provocation!!
McKenna committed a foul off the ball Morelos reacted and was sent off. At most it’s a yellow card each and maybe the outcome is different. Had Morelos fell to the floor would McKenna have been sent off?? I very much doubt it.

Unless there’s another interview, I can’t see what he’s said that’s scathing. I took it as he thought Rangers were a class above Aberdeen on the pitch today, watching most of the game I thought Rangers were much better today.

Just watched it and certainly would not agree with the above description!
'Rangers are a class above' was the (obviously biased) statement/opinion. Nothing about being hard done by.... ! Someone (not you Val) trying to invent a story?

Settle an argument...
Stevie G mentioned the word provokion (sp) in his interview in relation to red card...is that even a word?
Well done rangers for snatching a draw from a certain win.
Also felt SG came across very poorly in post match interview.
What about the mighty Ayr Utd? Flying start from the Honest Men who won promotion last season and have started with 3 points against Partick Thistle. They also helped me with my Ayrshire double along with Kilmarnock.
First and probably only coupon win of the season :rofl:
Is discussion on lower tier Scottish football allowed thread or is it just a thread to lets others show their lack of knowledge within the Scottish top tier?
Celtic have a Champions League game to get ready for on Wednesday evening and I bet loads of English clubs would love to be able to say that. Reckon it may be closer than last season but they should be ok for 8 in a row.
In my humble opinion Scottish football is doing ok although I would like to see more young Scottish players given the chance in the Senior game. Junior game get record crowds and I spent the weekend watching my 10 year old lad playing in The Land O Burns Football Festival. Hundreds of kids and coaches all enjoying football.
On a side note anyone know...
How many different english clubs have qualified for the Champions League since updated format?
The number of clubs who only made it to qualifiers before getting knocked out (be interested to see spread of clubs)
And number of those knocked out in groups/knockout stages?
Is it the same few clubs year in year out?

I think it’s ten English Clubs that have qualified for the CL
Man Utd
Man City
Liverpool
Chelsea
Arsenal
Leeds
Newcastle
Spurs
Leicester
Everton
With only Everton the team who haven’t made the CL group stages
Think all the others have made it into the KO stages from the group stages

Rangers played a European game on Thursday night aswell, today’s game was no worse than 90% of the games at the World Cup.
Morelos was a soft red, he shouldn’t have reacted under provocation but the linesman should have pulled the 2 blatant shoulder charges on him aswell. Petulant kick no doubt but a harsh red. No booking for the penalty offender or for Stevie who crashed into the back of jack.

Get your facts right Aberdeen had 1 shot on target in 96 minutes against a 10 man team. rangers had 3. When you’re down to 10 men and 1-0 up you’re digging in and trying to defend. Mcinnes said in his interview if the game had gone 10 minutes longer Aberdeen would have scored again. He played 82 minutes against 10 men and couldn’t get more than one shot on target.

On what basis does a team become a class above another after one drawn game with them despite finishing behind them in the league the season previous. If he said this in January then no one would bar an eyelid.
