Aluko ban upheld

[Bib Fortuna's Maw]

I'm not such a pedant that I actually noticed what side of his face sammy was holding but if he was proved to have cheated then I would have no complaints if he were punished retrospectively. I don't happen to believe he did feign injury though.

Here's the doublethink pish, Dev.

Goian did exactly the same at Pittodrie yet no-one is suggesting he be dealt with the same as Aluko - only Samaras because he plays for Celtic.

Add the penalty Goian won at Inverness and, if the SFA follow what the bears are now demanding, Goian is out until February or some ****.

To be honest, comparisons between Aluko's blatant dive and Samaras' "alleged" fake injury are ludicrous, but sometimes I like to humour people if only to underline a point.

Just because the lad who got a red for the incident with Sammy had it overturned does not automatically mean that Sammy cheated, that's simplistic logic at best.

An elbow to the head or face would mean the big jessie would remember exactly where he got hit for days.

Sammy the bubble simulated injury in order to con the ref. Aluko simulated a foul in order to con the ref.

Both faked it worse than my burd.

Ok i'll give you an example if you like.

When Kyle Lafferty "simulated" being headbutted by Chuck Mulgrew a few years back do you think a Yellow card for Lafferty would have sufficed as punishment? Or seeing as how no penalty was wrongly awarded to Rangers in that game - off the back of Lafferty getting Mulgrew a Red card - are you suggesting that Lafferty should not have been punished at all?

Who was to blame in that incident, Lafferty for cheating or the Referee for not seeing that Lafferty had cheated? Is Lafferty's behaviour in that disgraceful display of outright, blatant, cheating, to be excused because the "Referee's eyes were not working"?

I've already stated multiple times that the Lafferty incident has absolutely no bearing on this what so ever because it is so different no comparison can be drawn and I'll stick to my guns on that.

You think it was Alukos fault for cheating the referee, i think its the referees fault for not catching a player cheating (partially what hes paid to do)

There has been 3 examples of Rangers players going down to get opponents sent off , Mulgrew , A Thompson and S Brown , everyone happened near the Govan Stand . Being at two of the games , I believe the referee just followed the roar that came from the stands to make his decision

I look forward to reading your condemnation of the referee when a Celtic player next dives to win a penalty

I look forward to posting it

This is just a Rangers V Celtic thing lets not be mistaken here plenty of players dive week in week out and don't get the same coverage so.

It's not a Rangers Celtic thing to me, I cannot abide cheating and I am not a hypocrite, I will condemn a Celtic player who dives and I certainly will not blame the Referee.

There's no real surprise that McCoist backs a cheat, did Lafferty not wink anf thumbs up to wee Sally after the Mulgrew incident, then there was the saame thing from Bougherra when he continually got away with fouls against Robbie Keane.

McCoist plays a much bigger part than people give him credit for. It's encouraged at Ibrox, no doubt. It happens way too often and comes from way too many players not to be.

Cheat on the Park, Cheat off of it, it's the Rangers way, since 1873. Pay yer taxes!!! Stay on yer feet!!! Sing your clubs songs!!!

none of the celtic fans wanted retrospective action taken against divers a few years back when TV pictures clearly showed larsson tripping himself up in the box every week.
he only stopped some of his diving when petrov arrived as petrov's whole game was about diving to win free kicks and penalties and get opposing players into trouble.

I'm sure that any minute now there will be a meeting in the porkheid car park where it will be decided that any trophies that celtic won while larsson and petrov were playing must be handed back in the interests of fair play as we have now agreed that diving (cheating) is wrong.

Please post links to these tv images you speak off.

How many penalties did Larsson actually win for Celtic?
Compare that with the likes of Jellyfish or NaiBody or Pet-timetocontheref-rov.

I dont disagree with Petrov's constant simulation during his time in Scotland, but to rope Larsson into your argument just doesnt cut it for me.
