Sket 13,610 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Why,when we won the Petrofac cup and when we were presented with the championship trophy at Ibrox,was there a 2 deep line of police and stewards around the whole stadium,yet here we only had 138 police officers inside the stadium? Why is that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official police statement is in the article ( if you read it) but this is irresponsible journalism - I am pretty sure the cops that are quoted in this story will be in the shite. Problem is story is now in the papers and everyone from all sides will chose to believe it. Our own fans will leap on this as 'evidence' of some sort of witch hunt and others that we are all as bad as each other! On a separate note why were they a mile away - everyone knows traffic can't move at the end of any large game! They were never getting there rapidly even with a quiet crowd.

daverfc13 175 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I believe the area outside the stadium will have plenty of CCTV so why not show us the footage if this is true . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumbGER 24,518 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Not buying that shite. Not our fault the police didn't plan the event policing properly. As for the journo,that cancer she spreads with her pen will eventually spread all over her body and when it does,i will be happy. Ps sorry for any offence i may have caused with that remark to any Bears who have been affected by that illness,i have and i know how horrible it is.

Real Ranger 3,195 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 After leaving the ground and turning on to the Cathcart road we were met with the site of police vans full of cops making no attempt whatsoever to reach the ground, understandably people were shouting at them and pointing in the direction of the stadium but with no hint of trouble or violence only frustration vented at the complete inaction from them. I doubt there would have been any journalists or Rangers officials to witness what went on so it comes down to taking the word of Rangers fans or believing officers from police Scotland.

BridgeIsBlue 66,606 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 5 days later and that's the best they can come up with? Where's the evidence? The club need to unleash both barrels on these rancid cunts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisleyroad 894 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 This is disgraceful, the club needs to demand evidence on this & take the Daily RHecord & Police Scotland to task. apparently it happened to 75 officers so there should be plenty of evidence (aye right) one account given by an' un-named' copper was that Rangers fans were using kids to block the road, a tactic he had only ever seen in Northern Ireland . FFS you couldnae make this shit up . . . . but they made sure they did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCS 649 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Just read the article on RM, and I'm totally disgusted, although not in the least surprised! I'm utterly sickened by these liars and their determination to deflect criticism from their inept and unprofessional policing of last week's Scottish Cup Final. I was a policeman for several years and have been involved in many volatile (and downright dangerous) situations including major civil unrest involving thousands of rioters. I have also policed many local football matches, including cup finals. I must say that I find the excuses offered by the so called police spokesman, to be pathetic and infantile, and I have no doubt they are a tissue of lies. There were no reports of unrest outside the stadium after the game, and it is highly suspicious that it is now Thursday and this sinister 'statement' is only emerging now from a police force that most accept acted incompetently and disgracefully on the day. I think the club must react to this disgraceful statement and, of course, to the fact that it was given coverage by a rag that totally fails to disguise it's hatred for Rangers Football Club Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perth_Campsie_Ger 17,995 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 What a load of bullshit!

Goggs 123 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I Left the North stand as the final whistle was blown, I saw nothing happen inside the stadium and was not aware of the problems until I got back to my car. I walked around the outside of the west stand and then up by where the supporters buses were parked towards Cathcart Road . I was met by about 20 policemen/women riding horses, 2 abreast towards Hampden, shouting for everyone to get to fuck out the way. This is a very narrow part of the street, and at no point did I see anybody get in the way or try to impede them, in fact all I witnessed was supporters trying to get out the way as soon as they could Absolute nonsense being spewed out Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 you couldn't make it up. They couldn't get in??? How the fuck did the horses get on the pitch? Parachuted in?? Thought their chief said they responded well? the police have cameras on them at football, hope the club are asking for the evidence of the "mob" preventing them getting into Hampdump Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
