So Falkirk have suspended their stadium announcer after being deluged by complaints from irate hunnery i never expect huns to have a sense of humour but still, thats petty.

They should really change their song to 'No one likes us, and we really care. A LOT'.

To be fair, its a bit ironic considering some of the moaning on here regarding the yam security guard who ended up getting suspended. That was equally as petty IMO.

Humour seems to be dying more and more in the game these days, its a real shame.

Can't believe that the vast majority of Rangers fans wouldn't just laugh it off and give the announcer a two fingered salute and a suitable word or two.


Load of nonsense, and just a bit of banter.

Sadly these days Brian banter is not acceptable. Jeezus half of us would not have made it out of Wallyford Primary without the banter. People need to seriously lighten up there are far worse actions taking place under their noses and yet recent stories re Special Constables and Stadium Announcers totally astound me.

It seems these days that the more criminal your behaviour, the more vile your comments, then the more nobody will say a word. However crack a wee joke or try to have a laugh - and you are sacked, suspended or reprimanded.

What a disgusting wee country we are turning into

Rant over going to soak in a bath now, 7 a sides tonight taking it's toll

McIntosh’s half-time Third Division scores round up is believed to have included “the Sevco franchise 2, East Stirling 1”, while “the final score from Castle Greyskull was Sevco franchise, 5 East Stirling 1”.

[cabbageandribs1875]

The term has long been used as derogatory name for Ibrox. BBC weathergirl Kirsty McCabe was criticised when she used the term in 2006. She had told fans they should “wrap up warm if they’re heading for Castle Greyskull” when Rangers played Livingston


just


Rangers fans have reacted angrily to what they feel is an insult to their club.

hypocritical shower o sh@yte




“the final score from Castle Greyskull was Sevco franchise, 5 East Stirling 1”

Sounds like Glasgow Rovers or whatever they are called are vying for the nickname "Bairns" now.

Yep, we're a nation of sour puss'. The grey men have taken over and all colour is being squeezed out of life. As I recall that started in Wallyford :-)

Is it any worse than the cop showing 5-1 with hands to the yams at the recent derby game? Enough Hibbies got wound up over that .

That was my first thought. Our faux outrage managed to help get a policeman suspended so I'm not sure we should be throwing stones from our glass house.

This.

If he had made some joke about the Scottish Cup Final a few on here would have been calling for him to be hung, drawn and quartered.

[Bristolhibby]

Difference is he is an announcer, who clearly supports Falkirk and works to an audience.

A copper, is a copper. They need to be above this. That said, a few coppers having a laugh with fans of the team he supports should not have been taken too seriously.

Anyone know any Hibby coppers?

There are a couple of Hibs supporting plods who post on the Bounce, so they do exist!

No, the polis said he was suspended because someone made a complaint. No idea who, and most agree it was an over reaction - just like in this case.

[dangermouse]

What is the world coming too? At the rate this country is going it will soon be mandatory to gag yourself and sit on your hands while attending football matches for fear of offending someone while the crowd control is overseen by robots.

Some people need to get a life.

The fairly obvious difference is that Rangers weren't playing against Falkirk on Saturday. Every Hun that has complained must have heard about this second hand.

I absolutely love how the article explains what Castle Greyskull is.

That's the kind of thing that happens when you move up to tick the next age box in surveys Matty ;)

Then you find yourself agreeing with those "nostalgia" emails: You know your a 70s/80s child when...

I would suggest it is slightly different, but can see your point.

One is an announcer at a game that does not involve the club he is having a wee joke at, no one really at the game was going to take offence and it was probably word of mouth that it got back to those involved with Sevco.

The other is an officer of the law, making gestures at the home of the club he is having a joke at, possibly inciting trouble here. If this plod had done that at Swinie in a game v Dundee say, would it really have had the same affect? doubt anybody would have bothered their backside about it.

Yes they do " The Rangers Football Club " is the official name, all the y did was add the "The"

Calling them 'sevco' is not a crime ...... It's merely a healthy lack of respect which they haven't earned yet.

It's pathetic.

It's the same when a player gestures to the fans everyone starts greeting like bairns.

I never said it was, I use the name "sevco" all the time, was just answering the guys question as to why the article uses Rangers. Their old name of Glasgow Rangers was changed to The Rangers, dropping the " Glasgow".

Good point.

My only reservation would be that further shares may have been issued since that date.

(I can't remember... do you still have to register share issues between Annual Returns? If so, and shares have been issued, maybe the issue hasn't been registered yet, or perhaps CH haven't published it.)

One also wonders how much TRFC Ltd. paid Sevco 5088 for the assets, and how that was financed?

CWG, I have sent you a PM.

I have written an article on The Rangers for an new online football fanzine and would appreciate an expert eye giving it the once over to ensure it's accurate

Cheers

So there's no banter allowed in football anymore? The easily offended in the football grounds will squeeze the last bit of fun out of the game.
