Mikey1874 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Just now, Sarah O said: It really is quite astonishing that people allow their football club allegiance to dictate their political outlook. I just think the power and strength and allegiance to Rangers and Celtic has made sectarianism more acceptable for longer. Though hopefully less of an impact for people in real life e.g. work etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good study of Scottish History shows the futility of that claim. Surely Westminster is not to blame this behaviour as well as everything else. Yeah Even me, I would never hold the SNP or independence supporters responsible responsible for sorting out sectarianism. Maybe the others didn't do enough though.

Stewards or a separate dedicated security team pick out 1 or 2 at a time. And ban them. Actually when the anti sectarian legislation was in force I thought that is what the Police should have done with the Hearts fans singing sectarian sounds at away games. Pick them out 1 or 2 at a time. But Rangers could stamp it out. Kilmarnock game being at Ibrox was a gift to them. Saying "there's too many of them" is rubbish. This- so simple, so painless, so easy to do. They have CCTV in the stadium so start using it. As soon as culprits are collared and banned word will get around that there are consequences for this unacceptable behaviour. Unfortunately, words are cheap and that's all we're ever going to get from Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVB Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 They are talking about it on off the ball just now. I think that there is agreement that it is unacceptable and to me out of the suggestions available the best and most workable is to punish the team by having to play behind closed doors.

DETTY29 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) The current whataboutery from Rangers fans is that the only reason Morelos is getting abuse is due to racism. I have no doubt that some individuals will boo him because of his skin colour but dear god to believe that it's only his skin colour and not because of the way he conducts himself is the come back for 10s of thousands of Rangers fans singing sectarian songs week in week out is beyond pathetic. Even for that lot. Edited February 24, 2019 by DETTY29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroon Sailor Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 It's nice to see that the " hard hitting " Rangers statement has done the trick. If these arseholes still want to carry on then hit the club with points deductions, ground closure and a total away fan ban. Tougher sanctions required, if today is anything to go by and then maybe the club will finally do something. It won't be hard to identify those muppets in the New Douglas Park bus shelters - let's see what Rangers do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Less than a week after an opposition manager called out rangers on their blatant sectarianism, highlighted across the UK media, their fans repeat the song and produce a banner mocking Clarke. If ever there was a time for immediate police action this was it. By failing to act on the spot, we are as good as saying we do not know how to deal with it. At some point the government is going to get involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the 3.3 midweek game at Hamiton my cousin was told by the cops that flags and banners weren't allowed at New Douglas Park and had to take it down.
