I wonder what Rangers really wanted to happen?

I mean, if the SFA came out condemning us as complete filth and fined us £1M a year for the next 5 years would they then have been happy?

Did they want the result rescinded and them to be awarded the cup?

I just don't get what they have to gain by banging on about this other than to try and appease they're own fans.

I think they should issue a statement of their demands and also what the consequences will be if they're not met. Kinda like a ransom note. They can use cuttings from the Record.

That's all it's about. Stir them up about big bad Hibs and they might deflect from how pish their team is.

"see them kafliks, if it wasn't for them we'd have got our day in court and been able to show how we were only on the pitch defending our club when we were hitting people with corner flags, kicking and punching them and abducting that kid.

We have a legal defence fund and we are going to appeal this, no one is going to dismiss a case against us, we are the people, no surrender, we don't do walking away, well except when we let our previous club liquidate...........

it's a conspiracy"

Perhaps Mike Ashley should have hired Hibs' lawyers in his case against the lying King.

Not so much appease them as keep them banging on about the Cup Final, rather than more pressing matters, eg poor form, lack of cash, terrible signings, Joey Barton's home truths and a crumbling roof.

Edit: and a missing magic hat......

Aye, he could have spent his cash better. I don't think the the rangers are completely off his radar. He's probably just put it in his flies still to swat file.

Yep, the hat's a real problem for them. Personally I'd have waited to see if warbler managed to win the cup or achieve anything in the SPL rather than prematurely pronouncing it magic just because it worked against Dumbarton and other ***** like that.

I think that Sports Direct's recent troubles came at a very convenient time for The Rangers.

If Ashley was still a powerful businessman at the helm of a successful enterprise with time on hands that could be spent tangling with Dave King then I'm sure that's what he'd be doing.

Instead he appears to have his hands full trying to salvage his and his company's reputation.

Those battles between King and Ashley may be one of the most pivotal moments in their short history. They're very lucky indeed that he seemed to get his lawyers from the legal equivalent of the 3 pairs of sports socks for £5 bin.

Apppeasing the hoards whilst trying to sweep poor results under the carpet and creating a smokescreen between them and the directors shortcomings. Nothing more. Nothing less. Where was your families inheritance investment in the summer Mr King?

Would LOVE them to boycott the Scottish Cup. Would probably only increase their chances of winning it though.

They should also feel free to boycott both the League and League Cup.

Couldn't the Scottish cup boycott them?

It's the ideal solution for situations where jubilant fans do get on the pitch and give the media the chance to report positively on it. Man city on SKY for example.

Nae huns means no risks of losing fans being on the pitch and the prosecutions for assault and violence that follows their unwelcome intrusion on what is normally an exuberant and happy occasion

Ceptic are about to rip them a new one in the league cup, and they seem to be already boycotting the league.

This is what makes Sevco's whole attitude to the affair so sinister. Their end game clearly isn't 'strict liability' because that would be like Turkeys voting for Christmas. As the weeks have gone by its obvious that the SFA have no intention of having the game replayed or awarding it to Sevco, the invasion happened after the final whistle and in no way affected the outcome of the match, so even the most deluded knuckle dragger cant have seen that as a possible outcome.

This blizzard of statements and hand wringing is clearly intended to reinforce an already well established siege mentality and playing the victim culture at Ibrox, which to the delight of the board their fans lap up. Mr King and his cronies see keeping this going as a handy distraction from a less than spectacular start to the season which included a humiliation at the hands of Celtic and as a sop to the support who by this time should be asking where the promised millions to invest in the team have gone. They have obviously not forgotten Rod Petrie's "sporting integrity" comments from 2012 either and they are clearly targeting him, which also goes down well with their fans.

Sevco have nothing to gain financially or on the field by this constant hectoring of the SFA to punish Hibs and badgering of us to apologise apart from as a handy tool in their ongoing agenda as set out above. What makes the whole thing so despicable is that if the SFA and judicial panels who have looked into the pitch invasion had listened to Sevco, Hibs as a club could have been hit with crippling punishments and we as the clubs fans would have no doubt been subject to sanctions as well.

Their utter disregard of any damage they could cause Hibs by using us as a tool in their ongoing internal struggles and historical beefs they have with the SFA is beneath contempt and worse than that is pouring petrol on what is already a historically volatile rivalry between the two clubs supporters. They are creating a situation which is going to make the next meeting between Hibs and The Rangers extremely volatile with the possibility of people getting hurt and all in the name of an agenda that Hibs in reality have nothing to do with.

What a despicable, vile, nasty, lying, bigoted little club they are.

I wish just one member of the MSM would call them out on the myth they continue to peddle about assaults to their "players and staff". Just ask them to name the victims and to provide details of the assaults. It gets mentioned in every statement they release and rags like the DR compliantly continue to trot it out. A nonsense.

Why should they have to provide any evidence?

If Rangers say it happened then that should be good enough for everyone. It certainly seems to be good enough for a large chunk of the mainstream media.

At some point the powers that be will look at Rangers bringing the game into disrepute and ask them to cease with the statements already.

Absolutely. The unending stream of long, rambling, and aggressive statements from Level 5 is manna for hun fans and a useful distraction tool to deflect from how gash TRIFC are, but it's getting beyond a joke now. It's about time Sturgeon started delivering on her promise to act in the absence of any action from the SFA/SPFL to the hun fans' atrocious behaviour since the new club was formed.

[emerald green]

The mentality at the Ibrox club is that they can say and do whatever they like. It's nothing new, and nobody should be in the slightest bit surprised.

[Eyrie]

It's worth noting that whilst Sevco want Hibs to criticise our own fans for alleged violence, their own reaction to violence by their own fans was to praise them.

Sevco regard Hibs as evil and responsible for their "relegation" in 2012. This is simply an opportunity for payback for that impertinence, and for a devastating defeat in May. If they could force Hibs out of business, get us banned from football and have all Hibs fans strung up, I think you're getting somewhere close to their ideal outcome. This kind of mentality used to be mainly confined to their supporters, but now it seems the club and it's executives have lost their senses.

IMO the only*way for this to hit the headlines again is for the club to threaten to withdraw from the Scottish Cup unless assurances are given on the safety of our players - and details are provided on how this is going*to be achieved.*

I'll back this motion.

Could they withdraw from the league as well while they're at it?

That would be splendid.

You know, even though I have the time on my hands to read through endless posts (but Jings, I just dinnae want tae) I would be interested to read about what the fans of other clubs think of all this.

I am sure most of them, especially the Dons, for example, will be with us. Like, Get over it and Move On.

Can any wonderful, IT expert person just give us a link or two or three or four some other fan sites that just kind of support me on this?

As I posted earlier, this perverted attitude is breathtaking. Some geezer is seriously claiming that Sevco are now disadvantaged in the transfer market as players will fear for their safety.

Fans of every club in the country are laughing about them. And I mean every club, not just us, Celtic, Aberdeen etc. But I work beside Raith and East Fife fans and know a couple of Alloa fans and they are pissing themselves at the total embarrassment that is The Rangers.

This is spot on.

What they wanted from the enquiry is exactly what they have now got. An opportunity for grievance to be endlessly nursed and magnified out of all proportion with very little by way of supporting facts or arguments that stack up so that they can return to it again and again as a dripping roast since they have very little else to offer.

Silly people.
Now I'm sure a similar grievance approach is going on somewhere else in Scotland, but I just can't recall what it is...
Perhaps I'm imagining it.

15025
FOLLOWING yesterday’s Judicial Panel decision Rangers will be demanding urgent clarification from the Scottish FA over how they intend ensuring the safety of players and officials participating in this season’s Scottish Cup. The Club has been left shocked by the SFA’s approach to this vital safety issue and by the decision not to seek sanctions in respect of the assaults by Hibernian supporters on Rangers players and officials at the end of the Cup Final last May.

The Scottish FA must have a basic duty of care to ensure the safety of players and officials in matches played in their competitions and at Hampden.

Rangers were surprised and disappointed by the nature of the charges brought by the association believing them fundamentally flawed from the outset and cannot understand why the focus seemed to be on compensating the association for damage to Hampden Stadium and items such as advertising hoardings and LED panels rather than ensuring the safety of players and officials. Rangers are concerned that adopting this approach will not dissuade supporters of other Clubs from coming onto the field of play and/or assaulting players and officials.

Rangers were also astonished by the fact Hibernian, whose Chairman Rod Petrie is Vice-president of the Scottish FA, were permitted to engage the SPFL’s solicitor to fight the charges being brought by the SFA. Using the legal adviser to one of Scottish Football’s two governing bodies to defend charges brought by the other is worrying enough for those concerned with the good governance and integrity of Scottish Football, but it is even more disturbing when the party at the centre of the conflict also has a foot in both camps and is scheduled to become the SFA’s President. Rangers are also extremely disappointed at Mr Petrie’s continued failure to issue an apology in respect of the assaults on our players and officials.

At the time of the Cup Final Rangers shared the outrage and concern expressed by the Scottish FA Chief Executive Stewart Regan. He was very clear: ‘It was appalling. In the UK this is one of the worst incidents of its kind I’ve seen.’

However, four months on from the Final, the Scottish FA have still not held a formal de-brief. Sheriff Bowen has prepared and issued a report. Rangers were pleased to provide evidence to Sheriff Bowen and offered guidance from our own very experienced security team on the failings in policing and stewarding at the match. Rangers remain disappointed and concerned that the report did not address many of the issues raised by our security team. The concerns were raised not to attack individuals for what had happened but with a view to avoiding any repetition of these issues. Rangers would hope all of Scottish Football would be united in agreeing this is paramount.

The continued failure to deal properly and promptly with issues surrounding the Cup Final is alarming and a stain on Scottish football. The SFA must confront and learn from the issues that arose. Rangers owe it to our players and supporters to ensure that the Scottish FA’s duty of care is upheld and that those with authority in Scottish Football create a safe environment for the game.

It should be understood Rangers will not tolerate any of their employees being attacked with impunity.

There is only one stain on Scottish Football with their continued ignorant inept statements and also their barred party songs.

Still proper raging I see


Love it :)

This is very true.

Our club has come out of this with a huge amount of respect with the silent dignity in the face of a vicious onslaught by the huns.

They on the other hand have ended up as as a sad embarrassment with their 'media releases'.

It has backfired on them big-time.
