I hope we don't have any handball incidents at the weekend. Killie game was terrible with the ref decisions which could of affected the result. Lunnys elbow ball, no pen, which is now widely accepted, the other 2 for us we may have got, should at least went to VAR, wtf is going on.

I thought Lundstrum's was a clear penalty, and the ref was right to give it.

If you don't mind Mark, why do you think it was a pen. According to IFAB rules if hand ball is within the profile of the body, no pen. Some pro refs have also came out and said no pen. Lunny was clearly within his profile. This is an interesting debate. The rules have to follow IFAB.

Lundstrum penalty all day long. I always try and think if it was the other way would I be shouting for it, yeah 100%.

The main gripe here is why we didn't get one at the other end. The penalty to rangers campaign from other side is paying dividends.

TJBB, his arm was raised, and in an unnatural position. I watched the highlights again, and I still think it was a penalty.

Fair does Mark that's your opinion and I respect that.

The ball hit Lundstrum on the elbow when it was within the width of his body, him spinnng round made it look otherwise so Ref gave pen, Var was never going against the ref and they wouldn’t of gave a pen if the Ref never gave it, the same with the Mayo handball if the Tef had gave it then Var would of agreed with him.

Mark the penalty against Lundstrum was not in my opinion a penalty. When you slow the replay down you clearly see lundstrums arm is by his side when the ball hits his arm causing the arm to move away from the natural silhouette. He did not have his arm in an natural position until after the point of impact. How VAR did not flag this to the on field referee advising him to goto the monitor is beyond me. VAR for some reason didn't even look thoroughly at the incident. Probably in my opinion due to all the "Rangers haven't conceded a penalty in 2 years" argument earlier this season. Again VAR failed to do the job for which it is intended.

Mark his arm was not raised at all. It was down by his side with the elbow bent at 90 degrees across his midrift, when the ball struck his elbow at force causing his arm to move away from its natural silhouette.

Mark, his arms were tucked in like we always hear they should do. it hit the underside of his arm knocking his arm up and out. By letter of the law and what refs and others keep telling us that's not a pen.

However, I'm of a mind if you throw your body in the way to block it's a chance you take for me that's still trying to make yourself bigger or you're deliberately putting yourself in that situation and should be a pen.

It was never a penalty, arm in line with his body. It was the motion after it him that I think made the referee award a penalty so I can see why in real time the ref has awarded it but it then comes back to what’s the point in VAR and then a clear penalty that doesn’t get awarded for us with an outstretched arm by Killie defender.

We just need to suck it up again and make sure we go on to win games regardless of these decisions going against us, as we did. Much stronger mentality in this group of players now and long may it continue. 3 points again today please.

TJBB, I also respect your opinion?.

Irrespective of whether the Lundstram one was a penalty or not, the issue for me is consistency and that is a major problem with Scottish Referees. The standard is almost as bad as the national League down in England and that is saying something!

It was never a penalty it hit him on the elbow when his arm was close to his body, he then raised his arm up after the impact of the ball. I can understand the ref getting it wrong in real time but how anyone can`t see that with multiple camera angles and slow motion is beyond me. All Andrew Dallas does now is VAR because he is literally not fit to referee, and he is even hopeless at that.
