It's as though journos and editors are afraid to deal with the reality of what happened last night. To the uninitiated reading the press, they will know the banners were judged illicit but perhaps not understand why. It should be explained that they portrayed an IRA volunteer and compared Brendan Rodgers to an IRA sniper. That's a huge failure on the media's part whose job is to inform the public. You're correct, but I'm not sure it would make a difference even if the press spelled it out. Remember the England - Ireland game last year. A few fans sang "Fuck the IRA" and the English media united in condemnation. Now I get that there's a certain amount of fear about stoking tensions with regard to NI, what I don't get is why it is entirely one-sided. I'd also add that this "romanticisation" of the IRA as some sort of cuddly folk heroes seems to have caught on all over Britain. Which is astonishing when you consider how recently they were blowing us to bits in our own towns and cities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithgersbear 3,225 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 If you think about what they did they basically promoted PIRA pictures in a football stadium in clear daylight with everyone watching it (not that I bothered, I never watch them). Just imagine if Ibrox in a months time had a huge UVF banner, imagine the uproar, the front pages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone from here or West of Scotland or Mars would be able to see that. It's actually unbelievable at the sheer audacity of it. Just imagine it was the other way around. It's actually one of the most open promotion of terrorist symbolism I have seen as far as football goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchieshearercaldow 22,137 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Got to laugh at that statement from the scum, same old one gets rolled out each time and nothing changes. The statement that they should be forced to make is that they will renounce any affiliation with the Irish Republic and terrorist sympathisers, remove the tricolour and become a wholly Scottish club.
