Hertsscot Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Lee was bit of a hero originally because he decided not to walk when everything went pear shaped. On the other hand if you're being cynical you might say that no-one other club would offer him the deal he was on when he TUPEd across, only Lee knows the truth.

Turtle heid is on good money at ibrox, he wouldn't get that anywhere else as he is well past his sell-buy date. Forced loyalty me thinks.

jock strap Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Agree with the comment about Willie Miller, an excellent player who played and read the game superbly and consistently. No way should he be raised into the bracket of thuggery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedTA Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 so anything from the compliance officer on mcculloch yet? I havent seen anything. or did the ref deal with it at the time ensuring no further action? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parklife Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Violent conduct cases can be dealt with retrospectively, even if a player was booked. It's up to the ref though. So I doubt Rangers fan Bobby Madden will be deciding to take another look at the incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch sportscene, but I'd doubt any mcculloch thuggery made the edit? Do Rangers still not talk to the BBC? I don't know if I'd give them the money for showing a live cup game if that were the case. For £80k (seems the accepted figure for a live cup game) I'd be wanting normal access.

I thought if the referee deals with it at the time it stands as it is, unless it's mistaken identity, unless the referee retrospectively agrees he got it wrong? (If that makes sense?)

Kenneth Farrington Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm still baffled how Madden could see the incident & give a yellow. He either misses it & nothing or see it & gives a red. Same goes for the "tackle" in the 2nd half. How can he not give a yellow for that? Would be a blessing in disguise if he got a lengthy ban, so fingers crossed they continue to look the other way!

(If that makes sense?) 3rd time I've written this... If a referee later deems the incident to be violent conduct, further action can be taken. This is as I understand it. If someone else knows better then please elaborate. Just asking me the same question multiple times wont change my answer though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that is that the longer he gets away with it the more likely it is that he will seriously injure someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. It's either no foul or a red but not a yellow for the first incident.The one in the second half was a stonewall yellow so no idea how he stayed on the pitch.

biffer Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 On the other hand, if McCulloch had got a red card during the match, the Rangers fans would be saying that was the reason they lost to Raith, rather than the fact they were pure pish.

Parklife Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Can someone enlighten me, what did McCulloch actually do? Forearm smashed someone in the back of the head and then stamped on the guy as he fell to the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Forearm smashed someone in the back of the head and then stamped on the guy as he fell to the ground. I expect to take pelters for this and I'm not excusing it but I don't really think he "stamped" on him. If I were describing it I'd say he "trod" on him. In saying that it should still be looked at as he could easily have avoided the guy but I don't think there was as much for as a "stamp". Link to it here actually. "Forearm smash" is being a bit melodramatic too if I'm being honest! http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/556951/Worse-Chelsea-Diego-Costa-Rangers-Lee-McCulloch-escape-red-stamp Edited February 10, 2015 by Fairbairn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that answer to that is undoubtedly 'yes'. Stamped or trod, it was deliberate. should have been red carded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
