Popular Post markem 7,238 Posted February 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2019 The club needs to pick our battles, I think we all get that however if we don’t have a strategy for dealing with what is without doubt a kangaroo court we might as well forget it. We can be as staunch as we like, I enjoy the no surrender attitude as much as the next bear however the climate is now that refs cannot approach games involving us without a magnitude of outside pressures and we also have this fucking diabolical hidden jury concviting and acquitting as they see fit. Make no mistake, points can and will be won and lost by the decisions that are being made and any doubt that may have remained that’s it a system designed to fuck us over has now been removed. For the sake of argument let’s just say we accept the bans we got, that’s one thing however that they move forward with no impact when their defender and captain should be banned is shocking. At a time they can’t really afford to be losing more players there will be no consequences. It stinks and as much as I accept there are no easy answers the club is going to need to take the gloves off and find a way - are we to accept that no matter what we do on the pitch we won’t be allowed to win a title? - fuck that. Put aside what I’ve said about refs and this compliance fuckery, the point has now been made that everything will be done to ensure we don’t get a fair crack at it, nothing will be off limits to stop us and if we don’t deal with that we may as well hand out the prizes now. I honestly believe it’s a fight our club would rather not be having however imo it’s inexcusable not to, we will follow regardless, it will always be that way but we absolutely deserve the right to go and see our team and have a level playing field - the responsible persons owe it to the fans and the club itself to take these cheating, corrupt bastards on.

Largely due to the Hivs player foul on Izzaguerre all over the press and being highlighted by Rodgers at the scum presser for Sunday's game. The msm / press failed to highlight 3 scum incidents which lo and behold nothing has been mentioned or followed up since by the CO. Trial by scum supporting media leads to punishments. Deliberate ignoring scum incidents get them off scot free.

I honestly believe it to be as the OP said. The pundits/commentators on Sky/BT are essentially highlighting them, which is then re-enforced by the written press and the on-line Brigade. Resuling in the Compliant Officer/Panel delivering a verdict which suits the furore created by those previously listed. We all know the common theme that links the vast majority of them.

If they let this go on and do not raise it then maybe the fans will have to let them know it is not acceptable before, during or after a home game soon. I should add I do not really expect that to happen, but the frustration will spill over at some point if the CO continues to punish us and not them. jintybear and Courtyard Bear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle 53,253 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Clarke has been calling for consistency for weeks - unfortunately he chose to highlight an incident with Defoe which wasn’t a dive so made his whole point moot on that occasion. (The fact he ‘picked on’ a Rangers player again is another discussion). We need to be canny in that we aren’t publicly seen to be only targeting cellic players as that just brings us down to Clarkes level. I think I’m right in saying SC got fined previously for speaking out - as has Gerrard and Levein, all team managers. cellic didn’t use brendan, they wrote directly to the governing body from their club - so no direct manager involvement - and resulted in an official summit, no negative media publicity and no manager fine. How the letter/statement then got into the press was cleverly orchestrated. recent events show they clearly got the results they wanted. This is where we need to take a lesson from their dark arts and be clever. We need better and more professional PR management., we are amateurs in comparison.

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Maybe it'll get to the point (or has even gotten to the point) where the Club or some IT-talented Supporters put together a social media website to show all the incidents filmed in Scottish football where the so-called authorities fail to take action and compare the incidents to those involving Rangers where action is taken against us? A concerted 'film and shame them' website where the evidence is put of cases where Rangers get punished for things that other clubs' players get away with. The Club might not do this as (a) those in suits in power might not think its the traditional Rangers way and would prefer to make the odd protest every now and then but whose main response is to bend over, face aft and salute while receiving the treatment from the other clubs and the football authorities; and (b) the fear of being accused of bringing the game into disrepute even though its the blatantly unfit-for-purpose disciplinary procedure that is bringing the game into disrepute. But social medial picking up the challenge and hosting a website whose purpose is to reveal the glaring inconsistencies and incompetence of the football authorities might be another matter. I think it'd be a well watched social media site. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? (who guards the guardians?). Bears r us 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where we need to take a lesson from their dark arts and be clever. We need better and more professional PR management., we are amateurs in comparison. We have no chance because most of the SFA board are made up of people with allegiances to them. The Compliance Office used to work in a firm representing celtic. Peter Lawell is even a representative in European football. We have nobody with allegiances to us. Even in the media we have ex-players queuing up to have a pop. It's almost as though they have been warned that they will not have a career unless they follow the party line. It makes me sick to be honest that players I respected have not enough of a spine to call things out as it is. We should have left the backwater of Scottish football when we had the chance and went down to the conference league down south. We would have been much better off and Scottish football would have starved without us. Bears r us and Sparkle 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
