That's as blatant a penalty as you'll see... the guy had both arms above his head FFS. 

 

His first booking however was an absolute nonsense, he won the ball fairly against Morelos who then proceeded to jump in the air like a scalded cat. Ref: "oh, eh, that'll be a yellow then". 

 

Motherwell's defending after the red card was reminiscent of ours at Parkhead in The Game Which Must Not Be Mentioned*, absolutely hideous stuff. 

 

 

 

 

 

*Aye, that 9-0 disaster... thanks McGhee. 

 

I think you'll find it was a dive sir.  We are all in agreement.

It was 100% not a pen.

 

The rules for handball are that it must be deliberate. If anyone is saying he deliberately handled that ball then they do not know what they are talking about.

 

No other consideration matters. Position of arms, outcome etc are all irrelevant. It has to be deliberate.

 

Agreed. This 'unnatural position' pish is wide open to interpretation and needs to be dropped.

 

Hypothetical... a through ball is played to the striker who is borderline offside. Defender has his arms in the air claiming for offside. Meanwhile, the striker's shot is saved and rebounds to another player who blooters it off the defender's raised arm who isn't even looking in the direction of play.

 

Penalty?

I see someone at the SFA has gone rogue.

 

 

The Scottish FA has charged Rangers with bringing the game into disrepute after the club's criticism of referee Willie Collum.

 
The Ibrox club released a statement and wrote a formal complaint to the SFA following the sending-off of Daniel Candeias against St Mirren this month.
 
The governing body has now issued Rangers with a total of five charges including indicating bias.
 
Rangers have until 4 December to respond to the charges.
 
They will then face a hearing on 19 December.
 
Rangers were enraged by Collum's decision to show Candeais a second yellow card for what the SFA later - in their written reasoning for the decision - called "gestures" at St Mirren defender Anton Ferdinand, immediately after Alfredo Morelos scored their second goal of a 2-0 win in stoppage time.
 
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard branded the dismissal "embarrassing" but the club had an appeal based on 'mistaken identity' dismissed.
 
In a statement responding to the appeal decision, Rangers called Collum's decision "inexplicable" and also claimed "it is understood that a number of people within the Scottish FA are in no doubt Collum's judgment was flawed" as the club announced it would be submitting "a formal complaint about the performance of this referee".
 
The statement concluded: "The manner in which he reacted to an incident involving our player made it obvious he did not give due consideration to his decision.
 
"This is by no means the first time errors of judgment have been made in matches involving this official and clearly there is an underlying issue which requires to be addressed."
