It was a foul for celtics first goal

Hearts should have had a penalty ( potentially)

Not seen Aribos tackle , don't think Mugabes was a red ..he's a good player him

What tackle on Ralston ?? Can't recall that ...the one he was holding his side and 3 witches were hanging over the hoarding screaming unnecessary abuse at him ?

If we had VAR..........

Know Howard Webb did a presentation to representatives of each of the SPL clubs recently.......not sure how it was received and if there's a consensus it needs to be introduced

Ralston's achillies was dragged down and no card given.

Aribo's tackles a belter, studs on the Hearts player's shin, Ref 20 feet away looking right at it.. but Porteous...

Great explanation.

Aribo definitely could have had a red, I think the fact he had no momentum behind him is probably what got him off with a yellow. It was a lazy, high tackle but absolutely no comparison with the way Porteous went flying in, honestly surprised his ban didn't get extended after the appeal because he was just out to hurt someone.

Devlin could have been off before that though - picked up an early yellow then got away with about a dozen more fouls after that. Both teams fortunate to end the game with 11.

The comparisons between Porteous and Aribo are ridiculous. Aribo was high as studs showing so could’ve been a red, but yellow is probably right decision.

Was no force, he made challenge from standing not at speed. And leg was bent, not straight like Porteous whic makes a big difference.

How folk can defend Porteous, then try and compare this one is just silly.

Lundstram one was more likely to be a red than Aribo.

Zico sees any dodgy tackle and thinks they all look the same.

I'm my opinion he could have went for it. But it wasn't straight leg. Fact is if you don't miss control the ball you don't need to lunge. Unlike him in fairness, great close control normally.

Looks pretty straight legged here.

Oh, you mean his left leg?

Never saw it so don't know. Seen them given especially in Europe.

Replacement ref we had was atrocious. I get that he was not in a state of mind readiness to take the game but it meant that stuff was going unpunished then he was reacting to the reactions so that the next soft one was given. 2H should have been better but he looked nervous as fck.

VAR - I know they'll want to play at being big boys but there is no reason why the VAR centre cannot be subcontracted to another country that is up and running and maybe save the clubs some money in the process? Might help bring our interpretation standards into line with the rest of Europe?

Didn’t see our game, bar the laughable Sportscene “highlights” package. With so little time devoted to each game, why the fook do they need to show everything FOUR times?

Anyways, Bolingoli … by all accounts he seemed to have a decent enough game, but WTF was he thinking for the handball?!! Just mental that a pro footballer would do that.

No,no,no.. Aribo's was a nice fair tackle, nothing like Porteous'. Lundstrums's was also a nice tackle.

Is it true Rangers have not had a red card in domestic competition for two years..? Yet seen reds in four of seven European matches..?

There must be a fantastic explanation for this.

Really? Did you actually read his OP. Seems pretty balanced to me.

Even conceded that Motherwell could have had a pen.

79 domestic games for Rangers, not one red card.
Nine games in Europe, seven red cards.

Surely that can't be accurate..?

Aribo probably should have had a red but comparing a miscontrolled ball heavy tackle with a running launch is a bit of a stretch.

Bolingoli may have had a good game...for him. But FFS anybody who thinks that's acceptable has rather low standards.
