Soccer Football - Scottish Premiership - Rangers v Celtic - Ibrox, Glasgow, Scotland, Britain - September 3, 2023 Referee Don Robertson reacts REUTERS/Russell Cheyne
Early this afternoon, around 24 hours after James Tavernier led a lap of honour around Ibrox the deflection message was sent out.
Micky Beale had been panned from all sides for everything about yesterday’s defeat, from his team selection to tactics, signings and substitutions has been slaughtered. While Tav led his pals round the pitch his manager had bolted down the tunnel, hiding in the bowels of the stadium.
At almost exactly the same time the Record, Sun and Herald/Times/Rangers Review all informed their readers about a demand to the SFA to explain why a ‘goal’ from Kemar Roofe was disallowed against Celtic.
Like the Alfredo Morelos ‘goal’ at Celtic Park in April it seems that the Laws of the Game being applied is something that those inside Ibrox struggle to cope with.
They might not like the Law but when it was explained yesterday it was quite clear that Gustaf Lagerbielke had been fouled by Cyriel Dessers. When a player is preparing to kick the ball and an opponent inserts their foot in front of the ball it is a free kick, to the player preparing to strike the ball.
Rangers will contact the SFA to demand answers over Kemar Roofe’s disallowed goal against Celtic.

While some bears will fall for this there is a massive groundswell of anger aimed at Beale after he continued his record of losing every meaningful match.
The messengers can turn their attention on Don Robertson, the SFA and VAR but after being sold a pup in the summer through nine Superstar signings only the sacking of Beale will satisfy the angry bears as they stare into a repeat of last season under Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

Celtic should write a letter as well, i think in the 1954-55 season celtic got a goal chalked off so maybe its worth a try, fuckin retards hahahahaha HH
Who is demanding answers the club or the company ?
Or maybe the old club as well !
Next time we’ll gub them 3-0 then there’ll be no controversy. Simple as that.
Utter desperados.
They have had all their friends in the media be that TV or radio or written press being interviewed for their opinions and in Cilla Black style surprise surprise they are all backing up sevco,even the guys on ref watch at Sky backing sevco up.
The ARSEHOLE that does the Heart&Hand podcast who has access to Beale at the press conference’s has also been SCREAMING for Beale to be sacked now.
So just how does he conduct himself now sitting there asking questions but deep down he wants the guy sacked,now if your Beale would you be inviting him into your next press conference.
The daily sevco have gone down into the Swedish 3rd division to get another managers take on how to avoid the offside rule book,just how desperate are they getting or becoming.
The match result within a game of football is usually decided upon the big moments of goal scoring opportunity’s?
The scum had 2 including the foul goal, or should we say 3 with including an off side goal as well?
We created at least 5, yet only the wonder strike counted.
We totally deserved the victory, yet the scum continue to try and hide from just how shite they remain.
Yesterday match was about a response from 2 teams going into a huge game with something to prove to there supporters.
The scum failed miserably and the zombies let the scum players know actually how badly.
Anything else is nothing more than deflection away from the truth, being highlighted by all the scum cheerleaders within the media, it’s al the eejits are any good for
It’s blatant deflection tactics. To believe their narrative, you have to subscribe to the view that Rangers and Sevco have always been referred fairly and in the same way as every other team, therefore they are now victims of of bias against them, whereas the more prosaic truth is that as, ahem, ‘Scotias Darling Club’ they have routinely been given the benefit of the doubt and a lot more beside (e.g. penalty stats) and are squealing like a stuck pig because the laws of the game are applied to them in a situation where previously a handshake, a smile & a nod would have seen the rules bent to their advantage. Suck it up, buttercup.
Fail to qualify for the Champions League knocked out 7-3 on agg
Four days later Celtic waltz in and out of the hate pit with none of our support there with the 3 points to go 4 clear
Manager getting found out , signings honking , fans revolting ( they always been )
Write a letter of complaint to the SFA about a decision to get the fans and the on message media’s attention away from how bad the team are and on how they’re hard done by
Every single time , like clockwork
Just WHEN are they finally gonna be charged with… BRINGING THE GAME INTO DISREPUTE…
Oh silly old me – The Twelfth of Never of course –
When will Celtic put a letter of complaint about the two penalties Kyogo was denied in plain sight…
Oh silly old me once again – The Twelfth of Never of course !
Give Mr. Robertson his due. He made an honest decision on Roofe, when it might have been easier to go along with the crowd!
