I am 70 this week and all my adult life i have seen this institution ignore calls for real change.
They thrive on their bigotry .They even sell the bigotry in the form of colourful merchandise
They and their followers have such an awful grip on some towns and communities in Scotland with orange halls/rangers clubs dominating places
The rest of us see it every July/August
And end up paying for the clean up. Remember George Square last year .Disgrace
I hoped our new Parliament in time would have got to grips with these hateful parades every Summer
But they are to feart ,Churches calling them out would be futile .
They aint religious .Just anti Catholic and anti any number of ethnic minorities .(
Except the ones on the park wearing blue !!)
No one likes us ,we dont care .....as the song goes.

Sad reaction for the guy who should be able to go about his daily routine without prejudice. I am a little surprised he has taken so much to the rangers, given their record of prejudice against one section of society. Their behaviour may not be as deep rooted generally in society but definitely sectarian and hard to argue it’s not racist. No surprise this poor man has experienced awful racism there. Very glad he left unscathed as it sounds like he was less than welcome in the bar he went to. Just awful in society.Quote:

I've heard that they owe Mike Ashley a settlement of £11m - which might influence things (if true).
Ah ha the plot thickens. If true they are almost back to square one. I believe since Newco they have made losses of £100m. They need the automatic Champions league place then.Quote:

That is a lot of dosh the Board have walked away from.
I'm sure they have a plan (not) !
Don't know if it's true but it's been mentioned that are now subject to a hefty financial penalty for walking away. Hope they are anyway.Quote:

I suppose one way of looking at an Edinburgh Derby friendly being played overseas would be that the target audience isn’t aimed at us. Just an opportunity to bring the fixture to expats and an overseas audience who wouldn’t normally have the chance to see such a game.Quote:

Rangers cancelled because they simply couldn't take being the B side to Celtic in Australia, which they very much would have been.
There is merit in that argument and I agree about friendly match. But how about being more radical and taking some of our more attractive league games abroad?Quote:

There are enough ex-pats in these places to generate interest and a properly done beamback would be an option, as well as tv at home and in the pub. Maybe even justify a number of fans on a charter put on by the club??
I know it’s April fools day but something like this shouldn’t be dismissed all together I feel
I’ve never been to an Old Firm game and despise them both, but if I was an expat in Australia I’d probably go to the game for the novelty factor.Quote:

Have Rangers been charged for the ball throwing incident at Dens Park?

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 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:

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:

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:
