kplfishtank 4,656 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Just a wee thought here but should the Rangers online community help any of our fans who may end up in court? These guys were defending our players and possible invasion into the terrace by the hibs thugs. Personally I would love all forums to start a fund to help with any legal costs, what say you RM ?

Prso's headband 35,428 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Yup. We need to be more organised. The anti-Rangers, anti-British cabal are sadly the most organised group this country has ever seen and couple that with many of them in significant positions of power means they have a lot of backing. We need to be more organised in things like this and use the power of social media to it's fullest extent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getstiffed 8,863 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 If they are willing to plead not guilty I would be more than happy to chip into any fund for legal aid Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuoso 27,180 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Utilise the RFFF. I mean, various individuals were happy for it to be used to fund someones defence against board members at the time (when threatened with legal action) so surely there would be no objections to it being used for this... (far better use of the funds than a stand that the club should be paying for) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Please do Fishtank that's a great idea. If we can get a concensus on it perhaps pin this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I would've thought self defence would cover it, after all we had 1000's charging us and no police there to protect us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copland bear 7,966 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Totally agree and maybe get the fighting fund to offer rewards for any Hibs fan convicted and gets jail time. The money is there now use it to defend the fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chineseboy 1,563 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 What I want to see if anything happens is the club , or fans, paying any fines. Then after this, I would hope the club makes a statement in support of the fans for trying to protect fellow women and children, together with a guided tour of Ibrox . The kid gloves are off now , and it's all out war with these filthy scum bastards in this country. No fucking surrender! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 24,540 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 get the fucking RFFF into action here, not only should it be used to defend ANY actions against rangers fans, but it should be used for private civil matters if the justice system lets us down Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you'd think so wouldn't you mate - but remember this is Nazi SNP SS Police controlled Scotland where sheriff's like Crozier can let someone off for calling someone an orange bastard but literally jail someone for the Billy Boys .... or a couple of years ago, same sheriff, same court, same week - one guy caught with thousands of child porn images gets off with it but another Rangers fan literally get's jailed for singing ... this is the most fucked up country in the modern world - we can't forget that.

Totally agree. Prison is meant to be used as a last resort for people who are a danger to society. Its a great pity no one seems to pressure the judges on this. Well apart from the SNP who deem singing a song as being a danger to society. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Dare I say it, but the new united RF/RST/Club1872 group would be an ideal platform IMO as we do need to get organised as a fan base as the onslaught against our club will never end. It maybe early days for them as their board has yet to be elected, but we now have D'Art declaring himself, so I can see a more positive and inclusive future if he gets on and the guys at TLT do have the club at heart. I know they've taken some stick, but they are only human and none of us are perfect, but the club is in their heart. Indeed the defence of the Club and our fans can be part of the remit and I can see no better than D'Art leading that particular strand for them. A well rounded lateral thinking communications expert in my opinion. If given the chance, it could well be the unifying platform that many have wished for and we now have an ideal opportunity for them to show their worth and get behind them.

surfsup2 1,535 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 D,art would be good on the board as we need people who can reach out to all the fans as we need to unite as one.The media and other club fans have been allowed to say and do anything they want as long as it against us. The tide has turned we are not the dignified silent fans anymore we are not putting up with it . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
