Sterling Rangers red ‘tough call’ as ex ref has say on Goldson handball shouts

Although he would have leaned on the side of caution, Bobby Madden acknowledges that the decision to send Rangers‘ Dujon Sterling off against Aberdeen was a “tough call”.

The Ibrox midfielder was shown a straight red card for a lunging charge on Jack Mackenzie during his team’s 2-1 victory in Glasgow. However, the club has appealed the decision, and the Scottish FA will consider it later today. The player was sent off by referee Don Robertson, who maintained his ruling even after a VAR review. The former Stoke City loanee was told to take an early shower.Madden is aware of how challenging Sterling’s rapid arrival must have been for his teammate. Although he believes that the sending off was not an entirely incorrect decision, he believes that it may have been as simple as a yellow card.”This is mine: Red card given in real time; referee stands by original verdict; VAR suggests on-field review. This choice is difficult. You cannot pay attention to the point of contact alone. Yes, that is the top of the foot, but you also need to think about the ball’s speed, intensity, and playability.

“If forced, I would side with caution, but I would also argue that there are grounds for a red card, thus I think the referee’s ruling should be upheld and a VAR review should not be suggested.
