Weir goes through another game without a yellow card.



Early in the Rangers v St Mirren game and the game still at 0-0.

Weir holds back St Mirren attacker and you could say he was the last man and be due a red card. Not even a yellow card from referee Charles Richmond.

Second incident Weir all over the attacker and pulls him to the ground while making contact with the attcker with his head, an offence that was a straight red card at the same stadium the week before. No yellow card.

Two typical Weir challenges and bookable offences by Rangers captain, yet another game without a booking.

Ex Rangers player and St Mirren Manager Angus MacPherson later commented "We see a different set of rules getting applied, none more so than when we're coming here."

Rangers manager W.Smith responded with

"Everybody wants people to get ordered off and everybody wants penalties against us and everybody wants everything against us at the present moment"

“We seem to be reaching a ridiculous stage where refereeing decisions actually become far more important than the game itself."

I guess the rest of the league must be 'paranoid'?
