I also asked if their was an appeals process etc we could go through and ask for a real detailed explanation The appeals process looks even more outdated than our CO process. In a word it’s UEFA’s baw and if you don’t like it you don’t get to play. Negri's lovechild, delparlane, Brian Fantana and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Board hold all the aces, all the fans and specifically The UB can do is box clever (can’t believe I used that term). The Board control something we love and are making a shite job of looking after it, this was the very reason that Rangers First got going to hold any Board to account for its actions. Sadly the first thing this Board did was get rid of them and put in place the arselicking 1872, helped all the way by back stabbing pricks who call themselves Bears. Don’t give The Board any ammunition to harm The UB any more, that said it doesn’t stop us letting them know politely what a shite job they are doing for our club. rabc10000, Brian Fantana , falkirkNS and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkNS 6,298 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 The union bears should mass protest at front doors imo, banners and hitting the taig media is the only way this board might take heed.

So whether we all agree or not who started the chant (which really is beside the point). We have all sung them, a lot of us will have started them in our own wee section of Ibrox. The Board decided BF1 was getting closed, which again is their right (I say through gritted teeth) but to compound that with the refusal to give anyone in BF1 an alternative ticket for another part of the stadium is just wrong and borders on the childish to say the least.

Show us the proof that Uefa singled out the ub because if this is the case why didn’t they order bf1 closed as they usually do when naming guilty parties. It’s all one having talks wit the ub but what if the singing didn’t originate from them? As has been stated Rangers first was closed down as they were seen as a threat now it is the ub meanwhile you have c1872 and our slo making statements on behalf of our pathetic board and I don’t see this as part of their remit, problem is no one speaks up for the ordinary punter and those that did(or should have)are bought off with a club tie.
