jambovambo Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Just heard a Hun fan being interviewed in Eindhoven, saying he hoped they'd go all the way to the final ... in Dublin. Don't want them to get there ... and I know they won't ... but ... 1000s of Rangers fans in Dublin, Republic of Ireland? That would be "interesting" ...

269miles Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 The Rangers hierarchy must be crapping themselves at the thought of a 5 year ban from Europe after their 'fans' turn Dublin into a smoking ruin. Reminds me of the Rangers fans' comments after Der Hun had rioted in Barcelona during their 1970s ECWC triumph - 'they shouldn't have held it in a Catholic country, should they'.

vintage1874 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 if they somehow get to the final i can see a ban like the one england got in the 80's. It would mark a new era of dark years for scottish football, however it would mean no more ?10m for whichever OF team makes champs league groups stages for a number of years this might just weaken the OF enough for us to catch them.

I understand it would be harder to take for a smaller club (Raith, Dunfermline, Falkirk, hibs etc) for whom it might be a once in a life time experience. But for clubs like Hearts who although not guaranteed Euro qualification every season, manage to qualify fairly regularly. As I said any blanket ban would hit the OF harder than any other club. Having said that, ideally any ban would only cover the guilty party (i.e. the huns) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone know that Scottish fans are loved the world over thanks to those angelic loveable scamps in the T.A. Yet another irrelevant off-topic dig at the Tartan Army from you I see. Neither of the OF represent Scottish fans - one wants to be English and the other Irish. It seems to largely be Rangers fans who are getting into trouble abroad, and it would be "interesting" to have a Liverpool vs Rangers final in Dublin. The knuckle draggers will definitely be there in force, with the Huns vs the Celtic and Liverpool fans (plus anyone Catholic). It does seem that Celtic fans are largely cowards and all mouth when it comes to their bigotry, but the Huns pull in all forms of violent bigoted scum in their support. If UEFA were to punish the whole of Scottish football then the biggest losers financially would be the OF. For the rest it would mean the fans missing out on a couple of Euro jaunts, disappointing but not the end of the world. It is likely any ban would still hit us hard as I'm sure we have now budgeted on Europe for next season in the short term. Its not like we are flush with money.

The Treasurer Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yet another irrelevant off-topic dig at the Tartan Army from you I see. The topic is about SCOTTISH fans being banned due to trouble abroad, so not off topic and not a dig (unless you choose to see it that way) Neither of the OF represent Scottish fans - one wants to be English and the other Irish. Close, one THINKS they're British (as opposed to Scottish), one THINKS they're Irish, but UEFA wouldn't see it that way. It is likely any ban would still hit us hard as I'm sure we have now budgeted on Europe for next season in the short term. Its not like we are flush with money. Hearts projected budgets never include possible cups runs as there are too many unknown factors for it to be relied on when budgeting for the season.

My point was that whatever the contributory factors, Liverpool fans killed 36 Juve fans with their actions. 'Contributed to their deaths' is so weak a description of it as to be offensive. BTW, the fact people brought up Heysel and a complete ban on Scottish fans from Europe based on some ridiculously lurid fantasies about a hypothetical situation was what bugged me in the first place.

Yes I am saying that I wouldnt charge more than face value for a match ticket.Selling over the odds is a dirty greedy low trick to do to fellow football fans,whether you do it once or not.Ive had tickets for some of the biggest games ever held in Britain and never contemplated selling over the odds. Ive never seen any touts selling over the odds at our derby matches,well not at any of them ive been going to for the last 40 plus years. Scottish???

Spot on Pablo, 1984, i know some on here will not believe this but that night the Dubliners were waiting on the Rangers fans arriving, the minute the first sign of Red White and Blue stepped off the buses it was carnage, remember mostly all the Rangers fans travelled by bus that day/night and it was an in and out job, the Rangers fans gave as good as what they got in those self defensive circumstances. Hearts were there 4 years later and although not on the same scale there was similar scenes when the Hearts fans were met with the best fans in the world, a very satisfying night indeed.
