Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 At least we have less charges. That's the only good thing I can see from this. Wheres the mentions of threats to players and staff which is far more serious? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Not a single charge for assaults on players, staff and fans, just for damage to property. Incredible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueboyG 5,137 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 What about the assaults on the rangers players and staff, sweep sweep Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capital Blu 615 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 I think it will be a fine of around £10,000 plus the cost of the damage to advertising LEDs and Hoardings. Hibs might get fined something like £40,000 plus damage costs. Any more than that would suggest that "strict liability" had been enforced, which we know the clubs voted against. As the rules stand, the clubs can only really be sanctioned for damage to the stadium. What is frustrating is that the SFA themselves are not being held to account for their failure to police the event properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats because its quite clear and has been for years that the fans, players and backroom staff of Rangers mean absolutely fuck all to the SFA. In this case its quite obvious that the material objects of Hamdump are far more important than our fans, players and staff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malvern 11,329 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Well if that is all the charges then we should be looking to hold Police Scotland/SFA accountable for not ensuring Duty of Care to the players and staff on the park, after all they can't use the "kids in the street" blocking us the emergency services routine now.

Falcoholic 1,348 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'd love to see the evidence of any of our supporters damaging the stadium in any way. It most definitely wasn't how I saw it. Yet, I also believe we will bend over and touch our toes on this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,592 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The board of shitebags let this happen surrendered once again like they did at Motherwell and heaped blame on Moshni. Rangers supporters my arse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NornIronBear 450 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 GREEN light given to anyone who wants to assault a Rangers supporter, player or member of staff. As long as the Billy Boy's isn't heard then anything goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
