    Chicken egg

    Block or tug.

    Notwithstanding it's rangers but Robson has a point the block came before the tug.

    I'd get rid of VAR as quickly as possible

    If you're giving a penalty for that then every second corner results in a penalty because it happens at every second corner (at least). In reality though only two teams in Scotland will get them.

    Not sure the block came first either, will have another look but I thought the shirt was held before the block. Also pretty sure the shirt was let go about ten minutes before Goldson hit the deck. All in all a very difficult penalty to give so well done to the referee and VAR for managing to make yet another blatant error in favour of The The Rangers.

    Why not give a foul for every time a Jersey is pulled? Either that or make the strips so weak that they tear at the slightest tug and provide no possibility to impede a player.

    They cud have anything but the result always seems to be penalty to the old firm.

    Those that think Scottish football is corrupt ain't far wrong.

    Surely a foul committed in the penalty box should result in a penalty even if it means lots of penalties being awarded in a game.
    Eventually players and referees will realise that they have to adhere to the rules

    That is why the Old Firm do not do as well in European matches as the referee is not biased in their favour which happens in Scotland.

    Any team is in serious danger of conceding a penalty to Rangers and Celtic if they are ahead with not long to go. A var incident will always go against them in such a situation, as it puts the referee under pressure and sadly gives him a way out. Var, Scottish referees and the evil twins is not a good combination for provincial clubs.

    Having most of the "pundits" as either ex Celtic or rangers or known alligiences either way dosent help either.

    Most of the complaints are either ignored or laughed off by the so called experts.

    Miller is particularly dismissive of all complaints

    Stewart actually suggested var wud have taken into account tug block came slightly after block.......no chance they even looked at that none .......never mind taking it into account.

    But the provincial teams never stick together they all just scramble for the crumbs at old firm table.

    The radio punditry is at pantomime levels, noticed Judas big lugs back on.....why.....ex rangers management failure.....and one of the "gang"......Bonner, miller and English will be there spouting guff till they keel over.
