Saving The Rangers


Kingsmills

Recommended Posts

Good to see the SFA and their refereeing officials helping out their newest senior member in their ongoing financial crisis.

 

Having smoothed their way to a Scottish Cup final payday by drawing them against the weakest team in the competition and ensuring they would be playing at home in the semi whoever the opposition their plans were almost derailed when the referee failed to find a reason to disallow the goal that had Albion Rovers leading going into the last stages of the match.

 

However, quick thinking on the part of the ref' in awarding The Rangers a goal despite the clearest of fouls on the Rovers 'keeper saved the day.

 

That was a close run thing.

These days, 'gutted' is too often trotted-out as the over-riding emotion after a set-back - but I can't think of another word right now to describe how I feel after that 'get-out-of-jail' decision that keeps the Ibrox team in the Scottish Cup!

I was genuinely feeling that Albion Rovers were going to hold-out for a sensational win. Getting a draw is still magnificent, but it could have been so much better.

 

As Kingsmills observes, the 'equaliser' shouldn't have been given. In a low-profile, bread-and-butter game like a League Two, East Stirlingshire v. Albion Rovers match, it would have been ruled-out for a foul on the 'keeper - no question.

Mohsni clattered the goalie into the back of the net! If he'd done the same to an opposing player going-up for a header in the centre-circle it would have been a foul. Disgusted!

 

However, plaudits to Rovers; their manager sounds like a guy you'd run through brick walls for. He comes across as motivational, upbeat and articulate.
