A good journalist can accelerate the debate on the treatment in general of away fans in Glasgow, particularly at Ibrox where sectarianism, racism and bigotry is aired on a weekly basis, along with dangerous missile throwing from hight, but then it only becomes an issue when it involves one or the other of them. Sadly the media interest won’t expand beyond that either.
That club have no shame.Get your own house in order first before coming out with statements like that. There were two glass bottles thrown by their fans at us in the East Stand in the semi as well as bottles thrown at our players can't recollect any statements issued by them.
Aw, isn’t that just someone has accidentally reposted the club statement from May 2016🤔
I heard on Radio Scotland that there were eight arrests after the game. For an Old Firm derby , I would have thought this was remarkably low.
Remember the days when arrests were highlighted along with the other match stats in the newspapers. Different times.Quote:

I don't think it's harsh. Dempster continually crapped out of calling out the Huns.Quote:

I think the one certainty that would come from calling out the Huns is that it would end up being the Hibs that would feel the backlash. It’s pointless whingeing about it, I know it’s not right but what is when it comes to the dastardly duo?Quote:

Marching in their thousands to City Centre ignoring covid rules
A new club who won a first league title just a few years after they were formed and their followers wrecked George Square and other parts of the City in "celebration"
Glasgow council taxpayer still footing that costs of that mayhem and destruction.
Newco should have paid for the untold needless wreckless,damage and disruption to the peaceful citizens of Glasgow and their was plenty of that over those days.
If sevco get to Seville,i trust our PC Pod and Glasgow City Council will be warning their counterparts in Seville of the incoming uncontrolable sunami of madness, aka no one likes us we dont care,and mayhem
Sorry for any Hi-Bees and others who may have booked hoidays in the region around same times
These hordes will flood the resorts in their thousands
Sevilla ground only hold 50k Zombies wont get anywhere near half of those
So a Manchester situation is on the cards
Of course most of the above could be avioded if the Germans can beat the stickies the morn
The west coast media don't care even if we made a statement.What gets me is that clubs high and mighty attitude when it happens to their fans. Their fans cause more trouble than any club. Look at their so called celebrations when they won the league. We have had to tolerate this thuggish behaviour from them and Celtic fans for as long as I have been watching Hibs which amounts to 56 years. Its a sad indictment on both these clubs that they still have scu# that behave like that.Quote:

The CMA said the three parties could expect heavy fines if found guilty.
Rangers said they would review the provisional findings before submitting a response.
The UK competition watchdog found that Rangers were involved in the alleged collusion, but only to the extent of fixing the price of adult replica short-sleeved home shirts."
Another day in court.
Ripping off their own fans… I’m sure the staunch bunch will find some way to defend them whilst at the same time blaming everyone else.Quote:

BBC apology to the Rangers to end the dispute!!!
Very cringeworthy. How can people trust the media to do their jobs properly? This BBC statement makes it clear that they can't.
Imagine how Spence is feeling now. The Beeb are in full unionist attack mode away from football so it makes sense for them to try and appease the loyalist pitbulls. Pathetic. They'll run anti racism campaigns whilst praising the atmosphere at Ibrox without the slightest hint of irony.Quote:

I think the trouble is it's someone else's national broadcaster, and it maybe suits that 'someone else' to foster as much division as they can in these last daysQuote:

I agree but it would be interesting if the Scottish government decided to enforce it's sectarian hate legislation and to see how the BBC covered it and complied or would their rather transparent bias remain on show?Quote:

Oh jeez, what have you done BBC? That is utterly pitiful. Shame on you.
You expect us to act like rangers and refuse entry. Why?Quote:
