QUOTE OF THE DAY

-

‘Morelos should have the card for diving rescinded. Will the compliance officer look into this? We’ll wait with bated breath’ jersey tug in the second half but how the linesman missed that is incredible. No wonder Morelos is looking to get out the Scottish game.”

Alan Milligan emailed: “This guy should surely never referee at the top level again.

“He missed two blatant penalties and was card happy. Unless the league introduces VAR, our referees will continue to be a laughing stock.”

George Wilson, West Sussex, said: “It’s a total disgrace the way Morelos has been treated in Scotland by referees, the SFA, SPFL, the media and other players like Scott Brown deliberate­ly provoking him.

“It’s noticeable how well Morelos plays in Europe as he doesn’t have diabolical refereeing to put up with, nor the hammer throwers trying to kick him off the park.”

Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, said: “The official has constantly lost the plot in not awarding stonewall penalties or showing a card where Morelos is concerned. The man should never be allowed to officiate again.

“Even Gerrard lost the plot at half-time as a result of the ref’s obvious incompeten­ce.”

But Frank O’Donnell, Ralston, said: “Not so long ago Gerrard said the ref got a clear view of the Kemar Roofe incident and no action was taken, so he was happy with that.

“Now a decision has gone against him with the ref having a clear view again. Stop your greeting Steven.”

Gers fans felt Livi were a bit shirty at the Spaghettih­ad as well. Dr Robert S Pender emailed: “Rangers need to throw away their jerseys and play in their skins. It’s the only way to stop Livingston players fouling by pulling opposition shirts.”

Alfie Mullin, London, said: “The Livi players looked like they wanted to be Rangers players.

“Or at least have a Rangers jersey given the way they kept pulling at them.”
