Thread: Establishment set to video trial Rasmussen

THIS is the moment Kilmarnock defender Tim Clancy smashed his studs into Celtic striker Morten Rasmussen's knee in an ugly over-the-ball tackle.

And this is the evidence that will spark TWO separate trials by TV involving the Hoops star after Saturday's 3-0 Scottish Cup quarter-final win.

Rasmussen was the VICTIM here, but he also stands ACCUSED of elbowing Rugby Park stopper Frazer Wright in another bitter flashpoint. Referee Iain Brines missed both incidents altogether.

Now SunSport can reveal SFA disciplinary beaks will arrange for a video review panel to study the TV evidence before passing judgement.

The Clancy clash carries echoes of Celtic defender Glenn Loovens' Old F**m clash with Maurice Edu that saw him rapped with a one-game ban.

Ex-Hoops striker Scott McDonald, though, escaped without punishment after the panel sat over his high tackle on Dundee United's Lee Wilkie.

If found guilty this time both Clancy and Rasmussen will be hit with bans.

Killie stopper Wright, 30, was left raging when he was caught in the face in his off-the-ball clash with the former Brondby star.

Wright said last night: "He swung an elbow at me.

"I asked Sky's David Tanner about it when we came off at half-time after someone else said the telly showed it was quite obvious he had done it.

"I wasn't happy about it at the time but he just said he was trying to get free from me.

"He said 'You shouldn't be close to me,' so I said 'Sure, I will let you stand in the six-yard box and score.'

"But he definitely caught me.

"If he's meant to do it, it's not very nice. Hopefully it's something which will be looked at.

"I think if it was one of us who'd done the same thing it would be picked up.

"Someone has to have a look at it and if TV pictures prove he's done it then I want something done because he did catch me."

Celtic won the tricky Cup clash 3-0 with Robbie Keane netting a second-half hat-trick.

Keeper Cammy Bell was at fault for the opener with Wright the cause of the crucial second strike after he was robbed by Georgios Samaras.

He insisted: "I actually thought we were on top for long spells of the game.

"In the first half we bullied them.

"We created a few chances and started the second half well.

"But when you don't take your chances, and then lose the first goal, you're in trouble.

"The first goal came from a long ball which bounced before Cammy came out.

"Cammy just had to come and clear everything - clatter Scott Severin and take the ball and everything with it.

"But he's been doing brilliant for us and it's a team game.

"We need to stick together.

"With the second goal I thought the ball was going out.

"When I realised it wasn't, I tried to kick it and Samaras dived in. Boom-boom, it's a goal and that was it."

Wright's agony was made worse by the stopper requiring three stitches to a nasty head wound picked up early in the match.

He added: "I was caught in the head trying to clear the ball and went off for stitches.

"When we got to the medical room the door was locked.

"Eventually someone managed to find the key and I was able to get stitched up."


Where the fuck is the consistency here ? Why have the hun thugs Lafferty, McCulloch etc never been subject to this when Loovens and McDonald have and here's another Tim to add to the list. Dirty hun bastards, hope we leave Scotland and the Scottish game rots without us. Fuck the Establishment! They forget they need us...Orange bastards!

But hey I'm just a paranoid fenian bastard...

I was just gonna post this Ryan, fucking joke tbh.

If Clancy is deemed fit to face Video trial, then so was Bougherra for stamping on Keane-twice

And that prick Lafferty for his assault on Hinkel.

They're only doing Clancy so they can Rasmussen, it fucking stinks

a joke, but not really surprised

aye right.
we can trial by video to do him but we can't trial by video to clear broonies name
typical

Fucking typical one rule for us and one for them.Fair as the fucking hair on Edu's arse

lol, bet they have a camera trained on keane for 90 minutes praying that he does something to "warrant" a ban. God i never was pro EPL this this shit has turned me, Anywhere that doesn't have the SFA shitting on us at every available turn would do me now.

Typical

No surprise whatsoever, which is shocking in itself

aye, they're going to review him too..

boyd gets booked for the same thing but i bet rassmussen gets a 3 match ban.

What makes it even worse is that the referees have seen the fouls by hun players and call them just so they can't be taken to a video trial. If the referee sees a foul and punishes it "accordingly", there can't be a video trial.

tbf i dont think the ref intended to miss it, the kris boyd level 1 booking was appalling for pretty much the exact same thing.

I didn't mean it like that, more that instead of looking the other way on a hun foul, they call it but give a much milder punishment than it warrants so it isn't brought up for a video review.

Ooft what an elbow

Fair enough if the ref seen that, Rassa should have been sent off.

However, the point is that shit as bad as and worse than that has been let slide, during and after the match. Case in point: Laughable on Hinkel. Cunt should of had a lengthy ban, never mind a sending off.

Rasmussen <3

Hope he does it against the Scum too.
