Club 1872 Statement

[NAE NOOKIE]

That Sunday Herald guy was bang on ............ as he said: If you are going to write "we can only speculate" then go ahead and speculate ..... I can only speculate as to what conclusion Club 1872's speculation would have come to. Could it be that it would have been the same conclusion that 99% of Scottish football fans would have reached when it comes to what makes Neil Lennon's hackles rise every time he is involved with a team playing against Sevco?

As much as I dislike Hearts.....I want them to get thrashed !!

Against anyone else other than Sevco then yes, but Sevco are the poster child for everything that is wrong in Scotland and I would prefer Hearts to win the game at the weekend.....

Very understandable, but I'm with Harry: when it comes to the Rangers, I will even support Hearts. In the league table of dislikability the Rangers are way out in front. I hope Hearts compound their current seethe.

When this has all died down and folk move on to the next story in Scottish football, all that will be remembered is that Rangers fans ran greeting to the police. Again.
.

Strange and predictable. Police Scotland find Lennon made no criminal action, despite the BBC, 1872 muppets, Rangers deputy manager and the Sticky masses, legal experts all , being clear he was on his way to jail and a lengthy ban.

Now we find out that the real criminal was a Rangers fan on social media. Difficult to believe? Feels a bit like May 2016 to me. Outrage, more outrage in media, evidence, no action against Hibs.

Bigots have no ability to take a neutral position and assess a situation. Result - looking like morons, again.

As much as I dislike Hearts I just can't bring myself to ever want Sevco to win a game. I saw Alex Smith make a comment about Scottish football was becoming free of the nonsense but that it seemed to be returning. Do you see a common link Alex?

Look lads, it's pretty obvious that most of us hate/despise one more than the other, or both equally. It's only right and proper that it should be a draw. Hibs move further ahead of both of them, everybody's happy... except the Huns and the Yams

[Deansy]

Have the Jambos announced their legal-team for this Saturday's match just in in case they win ??. For me it's vital they get the first statement in as going behind a statement to nil against the Hun just means they'll spend a lot of time and much-needed energy chasing an equalising statement. It's a big ask, as recent events have shown, although on the football side of things, the Rangers team is keech, they're no slouches in the statement department, in fact, they're many people's favourites to top this season's 'Most Statements Produced' list. possibly even breaking last season's record-breaking 'Record Number of Statements Produced- which, unsurprisingly, was won by Rangers .................. as it was the season before that and the season before .............. you get the picture, eh !Jambos, you have been warned ......................... not legally mind .............................. well, not yet ...................................that all depends on whether or not you lie down to Rangers but Jambos be warned - if you DON'T lie down to them and you fight back and even worse- you gub em like we did then you're just asking for STATEMENT-GEDDON !

We all love to hate Levein but he's right on the money - and I note that it's McCurry in the middle of the dungheap bias again.
I feel CL's pain. I think every non-OF fan does.

According to Wiki, the SFA dropped McCurry at the end of that season. I wonder if Potter's outspokenness played a part in that.

Probably more the fact that he was becoming a loose cannon and not adhering to the subtle approach of only giving RFC enough timely penalties, etc. to win the game. Alas, Mick McMinister, the swashbuckler, was blowing their cover.
He had to go.

He was certainly blowing something according to the Daily Record at the time......

Firrhill, Edinburgh?? They would have to deal with the locals of the ironically named "Good Companions". And just like Hitler invading Russia, I suspect that would be a battle doomed to failure.

Pedant alert. The goodies is in oxgangs not Firhill. I don't think the sevco hordes would stand a chance if they were in that pub when the sudgers have consumed a bit too much lemonade. Wild west it certainly was. Don't know what it's like these days though.

Ach .... statements aren't as good as they were in my day. Modern statement writers are mollycoddled, when I was a lad folk would work 12 hours doon the pit or in the shipyards and then write a statement by candle light when they got home.

This is why Scottish clubs cant write decent statements in Europe ..... what we need is to get kids young and have them writing statements at proper statement writing academies .... currently we are miles behind statement writers from Spain and Germany

That 1872 statement, this bit:

"Lennon wasn’t celebrating a goal. That’s something you do with your players, staff and your own fans. "

I gave up reading it after that. How many pics/videos of players scoring goals without team-mates can you find? Start with Malcolm MacDonald at Newcastle United. Or Joe Harper at ER...

How dare those hypocrites release an indignant statement, acting the victim. All afternoon Lennon was subjected to relentless sectarian/racist abuse, do Club 1872 have anything to say about that? No, not a ****ing peep, but just let Lennon cup his ears and it's incitement to riot.

We all knew this was coming Lennon's way, from the moment he took the job. I believe a further death threat was made towards him on social media today. Yes, their statement is funny, but this whole situation is anything but. There are some very dangerous people in the Rangers support; the type of bigots who will go beyond verbal abuse. They are winding each other up into a frenzy on their messageboards, and numerous comments are examples of hate speech. It's needs nipping in the bud now.

Agree with this, funny as it is on the face of it. The problem is that the coverage is giving it oxygen. The real issues though are being ignored. It is interesting that Rangers tend to be the one common factor in most high risk matches. Aberdeen and Rangers....Celtic and Rangers....Hibs and Rangers....three combinations that would generally have the police thinking they need to take special measures. There are more, Berwick Rangers are not big fans of them for good reason, The Pars too. Common denominator - them. There is no other team in Scotland that has the same reputation or whose fans are held in such low esteem by EVERYONE else.
It needs to be stopped and that means airing the real issues of sectarianism and violence.

Bingo.

It's time Scotland as a whole faced up to this.

The Rangers point the finger all the time because the problem is them.

Our problem is that it requires responsible and honest people in charge at that club to help change the culture. And they seem incapable of finding those - one self-serving shyster after another.

So that's what all the hun planks were doing on the pitch after Hibs defeated them in their first ever Scottish cup final, celebrating with their players.

They should be left to keep digging on this one.

If someone was writing a parody piece it would be nowhere near as funny as that.

They really, genuinely do live on a completely different planet.

Why bother trying to dress up his message in all those words that must have taken a lot of effort on his / it's part, surely he could just have stated "it's a kaflick conspiracy against us, so it is" and left it at that, it is the very singular point of his waffley post after all

Big Pedro's just been on SSN saying, and this is my interpretation, (purely cause to quote would be an unnecessary waste of words) that basically the fans are fine and they just love their club, that there's no problem

Aw Pedro... clueless

Its a fact ........... No club attracts as much enmity as The Rangers FC and it has to be asked why, they would claim that its jealousy over their 'success' but if that's the case why do Celtic not attract the same level of dislike from clubs like Dundee Utd, Aberdeen and St Johnstone etc? ... clubs who unlike us do not have other issues as a backdrop to their rivalry with them.

Its obviously a rhetorical question ........... above all other clubs in Scotland they are the benchmark for hateful behaviour arrogance and self entitlement ... as if their bigotry wasn't enough the fact that they appear to want to be English rather than Scottish doesn't exactly endear them to fans of any other Scottish club either.

The bottom line is they make it clear that they hate everybody else ..... their feigned shock at the backlash it causes is the saddest part of the whole situation.

Neil Lennon says statement by Rangers shareholder Club 1872 was laughable, insignificant and written by a 15 year old. #bbcsportscot
