Just watched the Sands incident (Rangers v Ross Co, 1st half at 0-0) and this should be a watershed moment where lotsa people in Scot footie have to question why a Scot ref decided not to red card Sands even if the incident was at Ibronx!!! It shouldn't matter what ground it happens on - this ref had an unimpeded view of such a blatant challenge on a Ross Co player, seriously 100% no doubt Sands had to leave the pitch in ignominy, but the ref let him off - UNBELIEVABLE!! And he will be retrospectively charged by the SFA next week and rightly suspended!! HOWEVER, AGAIN THE RANGERS GIVEN A HUGE BENEFIT TO WIN A MATCH COMFORTABLY BY A MATCH OFFICIAL!!
THE GAME IS A BOGEY, IN DISREPUTE. I think the issue of using independent refs should be realistically raised because this is not the way footie should be officiated up here for their matches. It is a serious issue that never goes away!! I wonder how Malky Mackay will call this incident in his PM interview - an absolute disgrace, prob a kop out by a frightened referee - THE GAME DEFINITELY IN DISREPUTE, A DISGRACE!!
