The Club Need to Publicly Call Out the “Penalty to Rangers” Nonsense Being Reported in the Media

It's just nonsense noise.

I wouldn't want the club involving itself in something like that it's more for someone like Kris Boyd to jokingly lay out the facts on Sky Sports.

It's tangibly impacting how refereees referee games.

And VAR wont catch them all

The St Johnstone pens. Plural
The Johnson handball at parkhead where they lucked out by finding an offside in the build up 20 mins later
Beaton charging over like Usain Bolt to book Silva for being fouled

It's definitely influencing refs ability to do their jobs without fear or favour

So it needs addressed

This 'just ignore it' attitude is precisely why they get away with their propaganda campaigns. It typifies the apathy that has landed Scotland with government by the sort that give you the delights of the named person act and the latest hate crime bill. O.P. is on the money. Its long overdue that the club spoke out against this relentless drip drip.demonisation.
 
Ok so lets measure it against the other stats, games played/ % possession/shots at goal etc.
I have none of these to hand but that would be a common sense way to go as a team with 70% of the ball most of it the opponents half are going to create more penalties, pish once again from the media.
Who are scared shitless to print the banner headline front page stuff ( the real story) not fluff deflectors.

Bring on penalties to Rangers, loads of them, all VAR verified and watch the Timplosion.

And light a cigar!

Bring on the Hibs, the Hearts, the Celtic
Bring on the penalties by the score
Barcelona, Real Madrid,
They will make a gallant bid
But nobody’s beating Tav with penalties scored
 
Can Rangers claim a "Penalty trophy", you know, like the "dominated a game for 20 mins trophy" ?

That tells you all you need to know about the standard of reptile in the SMSM. Any other group targeted like that and he'd be out on his arse quick style.
 
We should be nearly there as we should have had 1 maybe 2 at Killie , 1 at Ibrox against them . Another title for Rangers excellent , I would revel in it , who gives a flying one what a sectarian scumbag writes in a biased rag.
 
Celtic give the Daily Record a lot of “advertising revenue “ for these comments. The referees have already stated that the media attention affects their performances but the SFA continue to allow these newspapers with that bastardised team to manipulate our national sport. It’s akin to match fixing.
 
We should’ve been at war after their CEO made the joke at their AGM to counter tough questions from their fans.

Our inability to fight referee intimidation masked with humour will cost us trophies.
 
Why?

we literally tweet it out anytime we get a penalty!

If only we could get Archie McPherson's voice over on said tweet would be magnificent

I’ve just read an article in the Daily Record (came across this on social media and only clicked it to see what sensationalist bullshit it was) that states Rangers are “on the verge” of breaking two penalty World Records.

Firstly, we are five penalties away from the record for most penalties awarded in a season, which is currently 23 for Barcelona in 2015/16. We have 19 penalties:

  • 14 in the League
  • 2 in the Scottish Cup
  • 2 in the League Cup
  • 1 in Champions League Qual.
To break this World Record we would need five penalties in our last 8/9 games of the season, which clearly isn’t going to happen.

And it gets better. In the article it states, “last season, they were awarded 13 penalties, joint-most in Scotland with Hearts and two more than Celtic. This campaign, however, Rangers are out on their own.”

“Out on our own”? We are level with Celtic on penalties received in the league. They received none in the cup competitions, however given they got papped out the League Cup at the first hurdle, it’s hardly fair to draw comparisons there. Our remaining penalty was against Servette in the CL qualifiers. Hardly “out on our own” at all.

The club needs to come down hard on these media outlets to stop this bullshit narrative being peddled, it’s a total farce and is designed to influence how we are officiated. Just google “Rangers penalties” and you’ll find an abundance of articles from various outlets pushing this shite, including one from Richard Gordon who flat-out claims there is a bias towards Rangers which is outrageous.

I don`t agree! It is best ignored as anyone with an ounce of intelligence knows it is nonsense.
The board would look silly responding to it! We don`t want to sink to their level. The possible corruption/intimidation/fear by refs and VAR officials should be mentioned though. As should media campaigns before every OF game to put pressure on them in septic`s favour.

Responding to those articles would leave the club open to accusations of trying to stifle free speech and spitting the dummy out.
Dodgy road to go down.
 
It's just one of the many narratives and apparent points that when used seriously as a conspiracy or an anomaly or whatever just shows that person or organisation up for the morons they are. You're above that, we're above that. It's for idiots who can't judge what they see honestly. Kinda like the tooth fairy It's kids stuff, make believe. Whenever you see this labotomized opinion just remember it's the howls of desperation. Just laugh and move on with the clear notion in your own head that it's total nonsense.

This says it all. Maybe I’m wide of the mark to suggest the club should publicly call this out, but we should certainly be putting pressure on the media behind the scenes to clamp down on this nonsense narrative.

The penalty narrative, the pressure applied to referees from their fans and club representatives in the media, it’s all part of the same package which sets the tone leading up to big games and going into the business end of the season. Officials will be influenced, even if they don’t realise they are being influenced.
 
Why is their source for their figures on Barcelona's penalties a random Casino comparison website?

I've checked a more reputable source than "bestanonymouscasinos.com" and actually Barecelona received 24 penalties in the 15/16 Season

FC Barcelona - Penalty shooters

This is the overview of all penalty takers for the club Barcelona in the season 15/16 which contains info about the penalty takers and the games.

I overheard a couple of Yahoos in my work at the start of last week sardonically bitching about our having been awarded another penalty last Sunday.

When I pointed out that they’d also been given one in that game and have had the same number as us this season it was to be met with, “Aye, but ours have all been deserved!”

Crackpots.
 
Left alone to wallow in it’s own sectarian agenda ie; appeasing the faith school fraternity, the Daily Record appears to have successfully alienated the majority of Scots who are either opposed to (or indifferent towards) Celtic-Minded culture.

During the (pre-boycott) Murray years the Daily Record circulation was reported (via Audit Bureau of Circulations)) as 750,000+.

By 2020 they had haemorrhaged well over half a million readers and have remained in decline in recent years according to the latest ABC figures :

2020 104,343

2021 85,769

2022 75,696,

2023 61,883,

2024 52,978

So the DR ship is clearly in a state of terminal decay and sinking fast. Yet some people want our club to launch a free publicity lifeboat for them?

Maybe those who still have a problem with this decrepit organ can take it up themselves via the PCC?

Maybe but some clarity is needed on VAR decisions against us like the disallowed Dessers goal! VAR is only supposed to intervene when there is a clear error not referee the game! The ref was only yards away and did not award a foul against Lawrence! Is VAR now going to overrule referees for fouls given and not given?
 
The penalty to Rangers is just complete nonsense ,the other mob get the same amount as penalties as us with less given against.There really is nothing to talk about aa proven by stats.

Let’s win the league and let the infighting begin.
We should go for a poster of Tav in George Square with Penalty to Rangers as the caption and another one with John Beaton is a sash with caption ,Thanks for the 50million.
 
The more times you are in the opposition box then it stands to reason you will prob get more penalties. I doubt if a poor team would ever get a lot of penalties. ;)
Also every penalty was valid apart from Mcausland & the keeper earlier in the season.

There was a stonewaller denied against motherwell when their defender has 2 arms around roofe in the penalty area then their other defender sticks out leg to trip him for good measure.

Funnily enough, the slightly less biased view from those who stand to gain more from VAR, calculate VAR to be over ninety percent accurate!

Our board have never seemed to grasp the fact that every little thing counts when there are tens of millions of CL monies at stake.
celtc have an internationally acclaimed management consultancy on their payroll, who will no doubt cover all the bases when it comes to media reports and representation.
We seem to be run like a second-hand car yard by comparison.
 
They won't be happy till VAR is scrapped... And when a decision goes against them that VAR could have sorted they won't be happy again. Think they're just not happy in general this mob.
 
For the “ dim of wit” in the media who write this shite it’s the officials that award the penalties and they are employed by the Sfa & Spfl and who controls them, answers On a postcard please.

You realise as you get older that the whole Rangers thing is more than just the game on the park.

On-field matters are a part of their failings. Failure to fight them at every level is costly. Our club needs to get its claws into every footballing matter that is external but capable of impacting it

Rangers are our identity too. They have a need to lead us culturally and offer political input.

Nothing too direct, not an Orangefest with a flute hand giving it Billy Boys and ordering fans who to vote for, as if they were the RC Church.

But Murray dumped this completely, and the failure of the latest figures to bring it back creates a vacuum, and without it they leave the door open for awful people to infect minds.

There's people all over this forum doing the bidding of the SNP and Labour, and the club's failure to offer input is the cause.
 
I saw that shite yesterday. To write that disingenuous pish without mentioning Celtic have been awarded the same number of penalties in the league is taking mental gymnastics to extremes.

Maybe also a mention that they are utterly useless in Europe worth a mention as that is included as well as who has least number of penalties against.

The look of fear on the inexperienced ref’s face when Sterling was scythed down for the most stonewall penalty at McDiarmid Park says it all.

If we couldn’t shame them using VAR, it would be a mad house. No wonder Celtic and their hangers on want rid of it, it gives at least a thin veneer of scrutiny.
