In the VAR era Rangers are up to over 70 matches without conceding a penalty in the league....

They do get some quite favourable decisions. The cup semi against Celtic a couple of seasons back was extraordinary.

Another poor game by Anthony Taylor with Liverpool v Newcastle. He's a very experienced ref and we shouldn't expect perfection but I don't think his decision making is top quality.

Joelinton should have got a yellow card for a professional foul even though advantage was played.
The Miley yellow card was very harsh. He got the ball but couldn't stop his momentum on a greasy surface.
Diaz was clearly fouled but Taylor didn't give it, then booked him after he expressed his frustration.
Jota took a step after slight contact by Dubravka then threw himself to the ground for a penalty.

Ignore the Hull specific stuff, but they interviewed Keith Hackett for the pod this week and some pretty good general points from him about the issues with the refereeing body currently:

Dean has signed autographs, but reckons because he didn't start signing until he'd reffed 300 games it's all OK.

He's a knob.

Seems like his biggest problem with it was because it was at HT. Who gives a shit. I'm honestly shocked anyone wants a ref's signature but it's not like doing that will impact his second half performance.

Technically the ref is still in control of the game during the half time interval. For example, he can give a red card or abandon the match. It's not a big deal if he signs an autograph while 'on duty' but maybe it's best kept to before or after the game.

Personally I wouldn't want a ref's autograph but there are people who aspire to be refs and he might represent a role model for them, especially as he's the first ref of Indian ancestry in the PL.

It’s pathetic from Dean. Says he shouldn’t have done it because it’ll draw attention and then throws him under the bus anyway by saying it’s out of order.

It’s such a non story which would have mostly stayed that way if not for Dean the hypocrite, who himself was the biggest attention seeking ref there’s ever been.

The only reason it drew any attention was because of Dean.

Just astounding that guy has a platform. Most supporters see him for what he is.
 
Former referees are having a greater influence on the game.

PGMOL is headed up by Chief Refereeing Officer, Howard Webb. His interpretations set the standard for Premier League refereeing.

Dermot Gallagher and Mike Dean are media pundits.

Mark Clattenburg is now employed by Nott'm Forest as a refereeing media consultant.

Statement FC with their usual "dignified silence". Fair enough it was a penalty but it's so embarrassing they are still sooking about it a week later. There isn't an FA anywhere else in the world that would put up with a club doing this. Any time they have a decision go against them it is the same. The intimidation is how they went over 70 league matches without conceding a penalty because the refs were too shit scared to pay a decision against them.

RANGERS FC has contacted the Scottish FA to express serious concerns and ask several questions regarding the swift reinstatement of the two VAR officials involved in the officiating failure during the recent Premier Sports Cup Final. We also note one of the officials has been appointed to an SPFL Premiership match involving the club that benefitted from the error.

The Scottish FA’s actions raise questions about their commitment to improving officiating standards and fostering accountability. While Rangers FC fully respects the independence of officiating appointments and the need for referees to operate without interference, how the Scottish FA handles such high-profile failures directly affects its credibility and public confidence.

The decision to reinstate the officials so quickly, and in particular for a fixture involving the club which benefited from the mistake in question, has drawn widespread media scrutiny on the officiating failure and officials concerned. This was both predictable and avoidable, and contradicts any stated duty of care from the Scottish FA towards their match officials.

Mistakes do happen in football, and how they are addressed matters enormously. We would urge the Scottish FA to demonstrate its desire to improve the quality and consistency of officiating and to do so in a transparent manner. We are not seeking to challenge the authority of the Scottish FA or the integrity or independence of match officials, but to encourage improved standards and accountability. This is not about influence. It is about good governance.

Rangers FC expects tangible steps to be taken and remains committed to holding the Scottish FA accountable in the interests of the game.
