jumpship Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 The following is a press release related to a meeting held on Sunday 1st of May with supporter representation from many different Rangers supporters groups: There was a meeting held today at Ibrox of over 150 supporters representing over 80 Rangers Supporters Clubs from all over the world, plus board members of The Rangers Assembly, The Rangers Supporters Trust, and The Rangers Supporters Association, and also representatives of The Blue Order, several fans forums, and the Rangers fans liaison officer Jim Hannah. There were discussions regarding the sectarian singing problem amongst a minority of supporters at our games and how we can try to eradicate this by more stringent self-policing and making the offending supporters know that this is unacceptable at our club, and that we want to promote a more positive image and atmosphere at our matches. It was agreed that any songs with references to Sectarian chanting as outlined by the Police and the Courts must go now and remain gone. We accepted that there is still a problem amongst a minority of our support, and while we are certainly not the only club with an offensive singing problem, we are the only ones being highlighted at present and whilst we need to clean up our own act we insist all supports must be treated the same. It was also discussed and agreed that we need to be far more resourceful in presenting a fairer portrayal of Rangers and Rangers fans in the media, and while it is clear that there is an agenda against us and us alone, but we have not done anything about it for far too long. To this regard we have already had meetings with prominent officials from Strathclyde Police and experts in professional fields relevant to us to assist us with our intentions to create a more level playing field within the law for Rangers supporters. The time for this sleeping giant of a support to sit idly by while our enemies politicise everything we do without fear of being challenged or reciprocal action being taken is over. The message from the representatives at the meeting was unanimously supportive, and we are confident that these messages can be taken back to the Supporters Clubs worldwide, and amongst the Supporters groups and forums, and that we can unite as one to try to eradicate the minority who persist in sectarian and offensive singing, but also challenge and expect all other club?s supporters to do the same, and we will ask the Police and the Procurator Fiscal to be vigilant with Sectarian and offensive singing from all clubs to help us to help them create an atmosphere and society where we can all freely enjoy going to the football without prejudice.

rossthejambo Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 It baffles me that they all seem to think it's a minority. The whole stadium was singing certain tunes in the last OF game.

2NaFish Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 it's the usual pish from the OF so i'm not that worked up about it. the thing that gets me is that it reads so poorly.

cosanostra Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 It's funny seeing huns play the victim card. They clearly don't understand the meaning of the word minority either. When your only defence is pointing the finger at others for doing the same, you don't really have any defence at all. I hope one day, UEFA starts docking points from the filthy animals. And all the while, our very own national football association does and says absolutely nothing. The SFA are almost as embarrassing as Rangers.

Victorian Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 the statement started out quite promising but regressed somewhat back into the usual arrogant drivel. you can't fault them for stating that they have identified which songs must be consigned to history. whether they do it or not is another matter altogether of course but at the moment they are saying the right things on that score. they also have every right to expect the spotlight to also fall on celtic for what their fans sing at games. the statement seems to allude to them being proactive with the police if certain 'political' songs arise. who can blame them? where the statement falls down is that there would also appear to be a determination to see anyone else punished as well. it would seem logical to assume that there will be representatives looking out for any cases of banned songs and subsequent lobbying of the police and football bodies. given that they've been getting away with murder for decades and are only really now looking to change their ways because they're being forced to... it's a bit sickening to think that the poacher will be turning gamekeeper in such a ridiculously hypocritical way. it's a case of "right we're no getting tae sing what we waaaant big man so naebody else can".

tolcross lad Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 The problem for Rangers and their fans is that they have not dealt with the their expressions of sectarianism on the terracing and the club have quietly gone along with it eg the union jacks placed on seats at the last derby.That said they do have a grievance in that Celtic are the other side of the same coin but avoid the same degree of critisism.Vatican flags,"God Bless the Pope"and pseudo folk songs involving the IRA etc are extremely sectarian in the context of a football match or how about "You can stuff your poppies up your ass".The Green Brigade at Celtic Park routinely produce this stuff and are approved by the club.

Because we will get clobbered for it. I really hope that the kind of ladies front garden that takes his Ma's 'King Billy' tea towel to an away game actually leaves it at home so his Ma can dry his Tommee Tippee bowl & spoon thus sparing Hearts and the club's supporters any problems.

I also think it inevitable that the kind of pressure being put on the authorities by the OF will lead to Hearts being put under the microscope sooner rather than later. I therefore wish that those whose "beliefs" appear to impel them to wear the same paraphernalia and sing the same songs as the Ibrox knuckledraggers would **** off and do it somewhere else.

We also seem to be in a position now when certain other clubs' supporters, and there's a few on here, take the view that anything goes as long as it can't be labelled sectarian.

We also seem to be in a position now when certain other clubs' supporters, and there's a few on here, take the view that anything goes as long as it can't be labelled sectarian. i agree that any club should be looked at if there is sufficient evidence of wrongdoing. i really don't see why it should be that any club should be immediately sanctioned - especially upon the say so of rangers fans - for isolated incidents, given that rangers and celtic have been getting away with the world's supply of sectarian behaviour for decades. it's a tough balancing act to perform. it seems to me that rangers fans may be about to assume responsibility for policing this issue, on a wholesale scale. everybody should be subject to the same rules as rangers but it's just too distasteful to expect rangers fans to be the vehicle for such scrutiny. no way pedro.

Boab Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 It is looking more likely that the hooped demons could win the league next Wed.If they can win it then the authorities should already be making sure that the segregation of fans is preserved.I hear what Kenny is saying earlier in the thread re. 1986 and being in the Dundee end.With the greatest respect,mate,i think there is more potential for bother if they make their way into the Wheatfield next week.Whatever people's views are,there is history between us and them and its up to the club to try their hardest to make sure there are no away fans in the home ends.

Templeton'sUnderpants Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Bit paranoid the way they word it but fairly reasonable points.

jumpship Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Celtic are making a break for it Celtic have privately urged Uefa to intervene in the sectarianism debate in Scottish football, with the hope of making the SFA and Scottish Premier League more forceful in tackling the problem. In private correspondence between Celtic and the SFA, Peter Lawwell, the Celtic chief executive, has also insisted that his club does not have a sectarianism problem, in a clear effort by Lawwell to distance Celtic from the current difficulties being faced by Rangers. Celtic have even suggested that Michel Platini, the president of Uefa, should become more proactive in a debate that is haunting the Scottish game, and which has led to Uefa taking yet further sanctions against Rangers for sectarian chanting. It is believed Lawwell has been irked by recent references to the ?Old Firm problem? when, in fact, the chief executive believes that Celtic as a club has little case to answer on the subject. Lawwell?s recent move came in correspondence between himself and Stewart Regan, the SFA chief executive. Significantly, Lawwell also forwarded his letter to Platini, inviting a greater participation by the Uefa president. Platini?s department has since replied to Celtic?s overtures. Some will view Celtic?s positioning on the subject as raising the stakes in the current Old Firm debate, especially in light of Rangers? recent troubles. The Ibrox club is likely to announce this week that it will not appeal the recent punishment handed down by Uefa ? a ?72,000 fine and a ban on away supporters in Europe ? following reports of bigoted chanting.
