Billy1984 6,314 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Good statement if it's backed up. Time to start backing up these statements with actions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later than I'd have liked but they have a direct go at the authorities, Hivees and Petrie. Now it's about following up on it and not backing down as previously. Oh and I'm amazed at the similarities with the 1872 statement. Almost like the independent organisation and club conferred Anything in there suggest to you that it will be followed up on?

Sweetheart 8,458 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I'd like to know why Hamden security did not follow Police Scotland's advice to mark a high risk categorisation for the Match. I hope the PFA look into this for Rangers and our players and maybe issue another statement on player safety Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEFTONG 59,873 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Damned if they didnt release a statement..and damned if they do. I really don't know what the Club could actually do here.. Spit oot the dummy and ban ourselves from the Scottish Cup??.. Im actually grateful that they didnt find a way to just fine Rangers... Corrupt to the core then. Corrupt to the core now. sfa/spfl.

Ibroxholm 2,260 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I think it's a pretty good statement from the club. Other than threaten withdrawal from the SC, I don't see much more the club can do on this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrupt to the core then. Corrupt to the core now. sfa/spfl. Things won't change if the board sit back and take it. I don't think we should with-draw from the Scottish cup. The Scottish cup should be a safe competition for Rangers to play in. I'm glad the club didn't get a fine. But the player safety issue was not investigated in the Bowen report. Things need to change at SFA level as they are not fit for purpose. I hope this will be highlighted to EUFA/FIFA and changes made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeIsBlue 66,498 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Didn't even bother reading most of it just skimmed through it as it's more of the usual shite. It's got to the point now where we have fans that are brainwashed into thinking that releasing statement after statement means that something is actually getting done Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehost 11,061 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Well I've slated them long and hard for saying he has. Fairs fair they ave issued a statement, its shite but its a statement none the less. If we have heard nothing by MOnday we should be public ally announcing that we will be boycotting this seasons scottish cup. Personally I'd avoid the filth semi but I know bears have tickets for this now. come on rangers assert your authority we ARE the biggest club in the land we ARE the only show in town Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what coopsleftboot said in the other thread as to what we would hope would happen next. 10 hours ago, coopsleftboot said: I assume that the board will have received the decision and supporting documentation yesterday and will be deliberating the content with our legal representatives on what is our best course of action before making any statement. Surely we want a calm and measured response reflecting our dissatisfaction and what our next move will be? I'd hope that would include a statement of no confidence in the SFA, citing their inability to provide a safe place of work for Rangers employees and the astonishing omission of that element from their own investigations. And on that basis, inviting (perhaps) the Health and Safety Executive to provide an independent safety investigation into an incident that put Rangers employees in a high risk situation that the organiser had patently failed to plan for or react to. I'd be delighted if Rangers commissioned this investigation or lobbied the PFA to do so on their members behalf. It's entirely possible the SFA have failed in their duty in discharging the pseudo-legal requirements of HSG65 and the statutory duties within the HASAW etc Act 1974 and Management Regulations.

My worry is the lack of threat or intent. I'm pretty supportive of this board on the whole, but we can't keep just saying oh well, they're corrupt, let's just get on with it, because it will just get worse.

WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 IF they are serious then the only option is to withdraw from the Scottish Cup. From the wording of the statement and the lack of SFA action then surely that's the main option they have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Another good statement. We are good at these statements. It's acting on them that we never seem to do. Until we do that it's a waste of time. I'd pull out of this years Scottish Cup. Sounds drastic but we need to do something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club needs to contact the SFA and inform them that this is the next step unless appropriate action is taken and also seen to be taken.
