The pain of a late Reo Hatate equaliser at Ibrox has been just too much for one angry bear to cope with.
When John Beaton awards Celtic an 89th minute penalty when trailing 2-1 you can be certain that the decision is an absolute stick-on.
Beaton was so disturbed by the outcome that he forgot to book Dujon Sterling.
He spent three minutes at the VAR monitor before coming to terms with the fact that he only had one option to take.
HATATE BREAKS THEIR HEARTS!
Most bears realise that a penalty was the only outcome when a defender uses his arm to stop a net-bound header.
But not one one of the lads on the Rangers Rabble. While acknowledging that the penalty decision was correct he wants the rules of TAKING penalties to be changed.
It seems that if a goalkeeper blocks the ball play should stop and restart with a free-kick to the defending team!
No rebounds, no second rebounds. All that is required is that the goalkeeper gets a touch on the ball and play stops! Dream on!

Penalty shoot outs do have the quirk that Billy refers to.
There are no rebounds, if the shot is saved no one can follow up to try and put the ball in the net.
The penalty shoot out is a different situation entirely to the main 90 minute match.
Only two players are involved in the shoot out. The goalkeeper and the taker.
Most bears are simply furious that at the third attempt Daizen Maeda was the player closest to Hatate as the ball was put into the net.
That can simply be put down to the fact that it is a situation that Rohl’s players have virtually no experience of.
David Dickinson or Don Robertson are the main candidates to referee Sunday’s Scottish Cup tie at Ibrox.
One of the thickness supporters I have ever had the displeasure of watching.

I agree with this guy…and the penalty taker who misses should be blindfolded and shot at dawn..oh,and only after being red-carded,and Jack Butland being awarded a Victoria Cross.
Deciding leagues on 80 minutes of play in games should be introduced…and as one lunatic said on Radio Clyde “it shouldn’t have a penalty as it wouldn’t have been awarded in the days before cameras”.
Yes,they really are this demented.
Trouble is, hardly any of them got past primary school. They are truly deranged!
Just bend all the fu**in rules to suit Sevco…
Put the red white and blue ribbons on the trophy on Matchday one !
