Don’t disagree with any of that. I’ve no doubt there will be a long ban for it.
What do majority of the Rangers fans think about it?
I saw the clip on social media and the comments were filled with how the ref made an error and it was accidental, they didn't think it was even worth a yellow. Was bewildered by that
That seems an exaggeration to say comments were filled with those downplaying it. I haven’t seen that, nor heard of that view from those I know. Seems to range from a few on social media saying what you’ve seen at one extreme, to those at the other end who think Roofe was cowardly for not going for it with his head instead of his foot. Plenty of condemnation of it. It was an outrageous challenge but I don’t think he seen the keeper until late. I’m not justifying it in anyway but I’ve seen a few comments around how it was premeditated or whatever, but I’m pretty sure that’s not the case. It was a reckless and dangerous attempt, and he should have known the keeper would be coming even if he never seen him. He’ll be banned an rightly so. Shame for the keeper.

I don’t think there’s anything to fear. They weren’t great last night. Slavia scored a second goal after Rangers had a second red card (two bookings). I didn’t see the last ten minutes but I’d have fancier Rangers to equalise if not for the cards.
The first red card was a terrible incident, the Slavia goalie took a high boot right to the face studs first. Two large gashes on his cheek and forehead needed stitches at hospital. Pictures are out there for anyone who wants to see.
The big talking point of the game was an alleged racist comment by a Slavia player directed towards Glen Kamara. There are now allegations this player was attacked in the tunnel and Slavia had to call police to leave Ibrox.

Were there any players from Slavia that stood out on the pitch, Tam? Anyone who could end up causing trouble against us?
I don’t think they have anyone we need to overly worry about. Stanciu looks decent technically and scored a good free kick last night. McGregor has been in great form, had an outstanding save in the first leg but you’d maybe question his positioning on the free kick. Good take by Stanciu in any case.
Olayinka looks decent and Sima is a tricky dribbler. They weren’t the most capable in the final third as a team though. Certainly nothing I’d be worried about from them. I don’t think they pose us much of a threat if we turn up in form.
