Scandal of Cousin's non-booking...

Scottish Premier Rangers

comment on the article

Why do we sit back and take it? Can't UEFA do something? I can understand a ref being given the benefit of the doubt on the pitch - a tackle is sometimes a difficult thing to interpret and see.

BUT COUSIN LEFT THE PITCH TO CELEBRATE!!!!!

THERE WAS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE INTERPRETATION FOR THE PLAYER'S ACTIONS. HE BROKE THE RULES.

What, was the ref tying his laces at the time?

Why can't the ref be challenged for this blatant disregard of the rules?

Because it's Rangers, that's why.


IF ANY ORC FANS HAVE ANY GUTS COULD THEY EXPLAIN THE REF'S DECISION TO ME?

I don't understand this...JVOH was booked in a match last year for leaving the pitch to celebrate and in fact was sent off as it was his second bookable offense

Celtic are the biggest club in the world according to there last chairman. Yet they live in a country they don't like or support. Aidan Mcgreedy born in Scotland plays for Eire. At the ground what flag to we see St Andrews cross no, Union Jack no, oh of course it is the flag of a foreign nation. I don't understand why Celtic fans are so heated

So you put a link the THE FA rules. So do we in Scotland play to their rules, no, we play to the FIFA rule of the game with amendments made by the SFA the same as any other country.

SFA Rule: Cautionable offences
"deliberately leaves the field of play without the permission of the referee"

Now go away read it and stop embarrasing yourself.

He should have been booked. But would this have had any impact on the game. Moaning about nothing. We are the People

Swansea and ROI fan in peace. I wouldn't agree that Celtic fans don't like Scotland. The Irish tri-colour is flown as a sign of the clubs heritage nothing more. Best of luck to Rangers ( mean it genuinely!) in the UEFA cup this season.

Hmm very mature response. Very impressed with the way my comment was dissected and debated on in such a rational manner. doh

Should have been booked but then Rangers are jammy and get a lot of decisions their way.

i think that players all over the world should think about how they conduct themselves on the field. over the top celebrating and diving because of the most minor of touches just adds to the modern stereotype of a footballer.
