Rogue Daddy Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 It’s only natural to like one less than the other based on your own experiences etc. I, for one, think celtic fc as a club and their support are the worst I’ve ever encountered. Followed very closely by Rangers.... in fact, as much as I can’t stand hubz, I would still love to see a Scottish Football League without the uglies, most. In fact I really believe it would be the making of Scottish football. Without a doubt both are a shitstain on Scottish Football - for all that they bring to the party... their fans, their religious bigotry, their spfl/SFA, their media, their everything!

Fozzyonthefence Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 After the yellow card from the SG months ago you have to wonder how much worse things need to get for them to issue the red card. Absolute arsehole / scummy behaviour from the Rangers fans yet still not condemned by the club. But no surprise there, this is a club so arrogant it doesn’t even think child abuse by it’s employees warrants an apology. The SG should just pull the plug completely on football for this season and nobody could have any complaints. Whether it is players or fans, they’ve had warning after warning and continued to behave like arseholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What should happen is everybody who was there advised to self iscolate for the next 2 weeks. Keep Glasgow in full lockdown for another month Ditch this weekend OF game and its a public heath bombscare No fans for the OF for the foreseable future at games until Covid is eredicated How can UEFA have a game at Hampden NOW And before we go all tonto at Rangers, remember the Strapon Army have a game against Englundshire Good post and I actually hope Hampden loses its Euro games because of this.

Surely by now they know what they are dealing with with respect to either Glasgow club and their fan bases and any policy would be proactive, around Ibrox and the city centre, rather than reactionary with any assistance from Ibrox seen as possible but not to be relied upon.

Question is, are our esteemed football authorities going to responded with penalties? The answer of course is no because of some utter scam which we supported which states apparently that clubs are not responsible for the actions of their supporters. That why hibs supporters were able to riot at hampden park with impunity. Can't help thinking though that if Hearts supporters behaved disgracefully they would find a way to punish us.

newbie Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The Scottish Government ought to apply a three-pronged approach once they've notified the SFA and SPFL that failure to comply would result in all football being shut down completely until further notice. Today, they should announce that a 25 point deduction will be applied to Rangers* as a result of their fans' recent behaviour. Three days later, once the implications have hit home for both Rangers* and Celtic, Celtic should have a 10 point deduction applied for their fans behaviour. A further three days later, once the ramifications have had time to concentrate minds, the current Premiership season should be null and voided, with the threat that next season may be subject to cancellation too. This way, a large swathe of fans who think they're immune from regulations designed to keep us all safe will have a meaningful punishment applied for once in their lives. Carlsberg don't do punishments that fit the crime, but if they did..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackLadd Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The Rangers should be hammered for making no effort to control their hun hordes. Suspend the league imo or at least all Sevco fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Burgundy Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 If hibs fans can wreck Hampden and their actions be described at over exuberance and Celtic fans can gather at Hampden and then at Parkhead whilst throwing barriers at the police I find it hard to justify punishing Rangers cos their fans are also tits.

EIEIO Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Police in a difficult position they chose the light touch escort and monitor rather than crack skulls. If Scottish police were like French or Amsterdam police (remember the Timothy get a few sore heads a few seasons back?) there could have been another Manchester style riot. Rangers board has a big responsibility in this by not speaking out before Sunday or after Saturday. Probably would not have prevented gatherings but would at least have shown they were trying to be sensible during lockdown.

A strong statement from them wouldn’t have stopped all the morons but it would surely have stopped some of them. After all, these people believe everything their club says so it is understandable that the police tried to get them to be proactive and appeal to their fans to behave.

Wonder if they'll try and put on a show to protect the very ground they were flinging fences around trying to get to their own players just a few weeks ago. Utter clowns the lot of them.

Because we're throwing pandemic into the mix here and their actions over the weekend can impact wider society in a way normal football nonsense doesn't.
