sbcmfc Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Bowman was lucky not to get at least a 2nd yellow. The only thing I can say in his favour was that he didn’t look first, so perhaps no malicious intent. Who was the other Motherwell player that should’ve been sent off? (I haven’t watched it back, so genuinely not sure..) Thats 3 Rangers games in a row that have descended into a kicking match, so perhaps it’s them. They wanted a battle and Motherwell gave them one. Although most other referees would have let us away with some of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although most other referees would have let us away with some of that. There were a couple. The one where Morelos could have been clean through. If the ref had given that as a foul (it was) it could have been deemed last man and the boy would have walked. I think that's why he didn't give the foul as he shat having to make the big call. When you see the replay he was looking right at it so he's clearly bottled it. There was another one in the first half where the Well boy came right through the back of the Rangers player. I can't remember who either were but it was a pretty bad foul and with another Ref could easily have been a red (although admittedly would have been soft but I've seen them given). I've not watched any highlights of the game again so these are just my perceptions as it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Just watched it back while recovering on the couch and pretending to work from home Piss poor in the first half but rode our luck. You can tell Kipre wasn't 100% John should have scored with his header and think windass fired one straight at Carson as well. Definetly got lucky with decisions but aye don't think there was any malice in any of them. (Don't think it would have been a red for Dunne if it was given as a foul) Saying that hoping the compliance officer is taking the week off. McLean was poor in general. Sending both managers to the stands without talking to them sums him up. Second half we settled down and really came into it and again Rangers messed up some good chances and we took ours. What a finish from Moult for the second. Great vantage point in the east stand to watch that drop in. Certainly can play better than that and hopefully compete against Celtic after their tough midweek in Paris before the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell could easily have been down to 9 men before the incident with Alves (who should also have gone) Josh Windass proved again that he's not good enough for this level. He could and probably should have had a hat-trick yesterday before Motherwell took the lead Carol Pena looks to be the biggest (top flight) dud we've signed in some time. His recent goals have masked some really inept performances and he seems to have the touch and control of a broken fridge At 44 minutes I didn't see any way that we were going to lose that game however fair play to Motherwell for taking it to us in the second half and they deserved the win. We absolutely proved that we don't have the balls for a physical fight Pedro oot I saw a tweet a few days ago which sums Pena up perfectly. It was something like "I'm never sure if he's going to fall over the ball or bang it into the top corner". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The Morelos one did look like he tackled him waist high as he was going through on goal, as you say, perhaps a bottle job, so doing nothing was the easy way out for ref. Although there were plenty bodies around and he was still 35 yards out, so probably not a clear goal scoring opportunity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu101 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Actually would like the Compliance Office to ignore yesterday. Might give Celtic a game if they are that physical on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcs Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Pedro throwing shite all over the place hoping none of it will stick to him he blames the players is that not down to him he picked them, the man's a nutcase he was running up n down the touchline yesterday going off his nut at everybody and everything and that was at 0-0 it was hilarious hope rangers keep him I laugh every time I see him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Anyway, quite liked my seat yesterday. Presuming being the end of the ground easiest to access from Motherwell, we’ll keep the same end for the final... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Bruno offered a two game ban and a belter of a statement from them about it. Robinson might miss the final as well over one argument with Pedro. SFA are a shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alves should be suspended, it's the right decision, however the compliance officer/SFA's lack of consistency is utterly staggering. Off the top of my head, Stockley elbow on Tierney, Browns kick on the accies player, Pena elbowing Doherty all escaped punishment, yet they suspend Alves? They are incompetent beyond repair.

I don’t think Bowmans was a straight red, so not really one for the compliance officer. Yes, it probably did warrant a 2nd yellow, but they don’t look at yellow card offences other than simulation (to the best of my knowledge?). Bowman falls into the Pena at Hamilton category, he could’ve been sent off 3 times in that game, but as far as I understand it, the compliance officer is pretty powerless as the ref either saw it and dealt with it or it was only a yellow card offence...

sbcmfc Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Just read the Rangers statement. I can almost taste Jim Traynors salty tears! To agree with @Fairbairn to a point, they make some valid points about the inconsistencies in the system and the fact that players are punished more harshly when the ref has missed something (or in the case of simulation, called it wrong). However they had nothing to say a fortnight ago, when the same inconsistencies allowed Pena to avoid any punishment for his performance at Douglas Park. I also think on the same lines, Ryan Bowman can’t be punished more harshly because he broke Cardoso’s nose. That’s immaterial (although unfortunate for the player), these things happen in accidental collisions all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s immaterial (although unfortunate for the player), these things happen in accidental collisions all the time. It can under the rules. One of the determinations under the Disciplinary Rules is to take into consideration 'the Party’s actions on the victim of the breach, including any injury caused.' Obviously he hasn't been charged, but in any event, he should have walked for a least two yellows (in the same way Morelos should have got a yellow for using his elbow too) Motherwell got lucky in that respect a lot on the day. Still not sure how Dunn got away with taking Morelos down at knee height when he pretty much the last man.... but anyway really hope you get into Celtic in the same physical way in the final. That why I'm happy that Bowman (and his elbows) arent going to get a ban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only real niggle for Motherwell fans is that the only kids/concession tickets are in the west (where as Celtic have this option in the North), so if you’re taking kids, you’re stuck behind the goal unless you want to pay £35 a head.
