Rangers covid party

[at last 61]

What the hell is going on if that was our players it would be published everywhere but because its them nothing footballers have a privileged life as it is especially just now something has to be done

[Keith_M]

Give us a clue....

"Rangers Covid Party" was my favourite song by The Fall.

A footballers life is no different to mine right now. Go to work, come home.

[Col2]

I said this a few days ago. Gerard wanted to move on (and said so) and needless to say so have the Scottish media.

If it was us Tom English would be all over it.

Not a peep.

[surreyhibbie]

The guy on loan (South African ?) has been sent back. not sure about the others...

[The 90+2]

It was news all last week?

[Keith_M]

Yeah, if this is about the previous event with the five Rangers players, I'm struggling to see how anybody could think it was covered up.

I presume you didn’t turn your radio on for the week after it happened. I actually stopped listening to Sportsound & Superscoreboard as I was sick hearing about it.

:aok: On Kurious Oranj presumably?

All the offending (offensive?) players are out of isolation and have been allowed straight back into training. Matter dealt with internally.
Farsical. Stan Laurel will be fuming that they have not been made an example of, esp with this being the second such breach by Sticky players after Jones and Edmundson (who got seven game bans). She will probably get asked what she is doing about it by Oliver Hardy at the next FM questions.

[EI255]

You can see why the club have let then right back into training etc now... Do it any later and they will taint their league win. They just make up the rules as they go along.

Rotten club to the very core.

Hopefully they get absolutely HAMMERED from the beaks at SFA. They have to.

Can anybody explain what they have done in their handling of this that is wrong?

Who is Stan Laurel?

Being rangers?

I think tbf, they've not been as harsh on these 5 as they were on the other two.

Maybe that's because tavernier is injured and one of them is a right back, maybe it isn't.

[Alfred E Newman]

Another fine mess!

[CentreLine]

Another fine mess!

Nope. Still not getting it🤔

[ian cruise]

These players were wrong. They deserve to be punished and have been. I would hope as well as a fine from the police there was a hefty fine internally too but that's between the club and the players

I do wonder if it was 4 young Hibs players if we'd have the same clamour to kick them out of the game, tar and feather them or if it is just because they play for a rival team?

I'm not sure the Scottish Government would have any real support, either from the public or legally, for shutting down the leagues or calling out the club/players when what happened went on without the club's knowledge and was dealt with by the letter of the law when it was discovered.

No, it was on their 2016 Rangers Cup Final commemorative LP “ Are You Are Missing Winner”

OK, someone is going to have to explain to this simpleton why nicola sturgeon is being called Stan laurel?

Because folk are fed up wetting their pants laughing at the hilarious Jimmy Krankie references? :dunno:

[bod]

I’m also bemused as to why she’s Stan Laurel

You mean like Celtic were HAMMERED? Or not. If they didn't punish Celtic, they're not going to punish Rangers.

I don't see how people can say this was covered up. It was all over the news.

I certainly think they got an easier time from the press than Celtic did. However I do think the club dealt with it far better than Celtic did (and it was a completely different set of circumstances). I'm sure there will be some punishment from the SFA but I also think they will take into account what Rangers have done (which we wont find out).

[Keith_M]

I actually think it might be an idea for The Rangers to announce what punishments they dished out to the players involved.

They don't have to go into full detail, but it might help clarify to the general public that they have taken this seriously and acted accordingly.

The punishment was a serious telling off from Slippy. I tremble at the thought.

Jimmy Krankie couldn't lace Stan Laurel's clown shoes. It's a compliment :cb

3 of the guys are on the bench for Rangers this evening

[Col2]

Have we seen a statement from the SFA or the SPFL or the compliance officer or relentless bashing from Tom English?

Dealt with by Gerard. Nice. To think St Mirren and Kilmarnock were docked points (appreciate they won appeal) for the likes of players car sharing.

If it was us we would have been hounded.

I never found it that funny. Striking resemblance was about as far as it went for me, almost uncanny.

[Billy Whizz]

Can someone please remind me, what is the difference between for Jones and Edmondson did, and what the young lads did
Jones and Edmondson got 7 game bans

[SonOfDavidFrancey]

The difference is they obviously wanted to bin Jones and Edmondson, but since Tavernier got injured they might need Patterson

The SFA gave Jones and Edmondson the 7 game ban

Why are you so bothered about Celtic?

Did wee nick not say that she would basically throw the book at the next player /players that broke the rules and nothing from the sfa, something has to be done before someone gets really ill

Paraphrasing, I think she said for the last ****** time, I am busy trying to run a country through a pandemic stop telling me tales about stupid wee laddie football players. In fact here's 20p, go and phone somebody that cares ya boring fud.

Actually, she said 'here's ma mobile', but the rest of it is correct.

I think there is a difference. Jones and Edmunson went to meet people they didn't know and had been messaging on social media, before then going to a party with other people they didn't know, that's a massive risk of cross contamination when you're meant to be inna bubble.

The latest group we're all seeing each other daily and it was their partners, not random folk, with them. Absolutely foolish as it's still out with the rules but it's not the same. Just this weekend my Mrs and I were about to jump out on a bike ride with a friend who lines close. It was only ten minutes before leaving we realised that's not allowed under the current rules as it's two people not two households, so she was benched.

The crazy thing is that if I caught coronavirus from my friend while we were out I'd bring it home to the Mrs regardless, so it doesn't make sense.

We kept to the rules but I think it's those scenarios where people are applying their own nuances to the rules because they don't see how it makes any difference. I would say the 4 players from the latest incident probably fall in to that category. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be punished but I think it's different from the previous, or even the Boli and the Celtic Dubai trip.

I do need to stop being so rational about this though, sticking up for Rangers players feels very wrong.

Was guaranteed to happen. It's like Hibs coming up against a striker who's not scored in X amount of games.

[GreenCastle]

I'm sure there will be some punishment from the SFA but I also think they will take into account what Rangers have done (which we wont find out).

Celtic took a whole squad away to a place where at the time made many envious and their behaviour was fully caught on camera and published.

Celtic fans were raging as they had just lost league / old firm game etc - Rangers fans were raging - everyone else was raging.

Here Rangers have a few players many haven’t heard of breaking the rules but will have deliberately tried to keep a lid on things as they don’t want to upset their perfect run they are having.

Celtic fans are / were pre occupied with the Lennon / board and while moaned are more bothered about the state of own club.

Other fans are annoyed with Rangers players but as we know the Old Firm drive Scottish football most of the time so not much was made of it.

[Eyrie]

Or a striker who assaults an opponent but is let off by the referee, then scoring the only goal in the match.

Should get you locked up in the town stockade and flogged if you ask me.....
