Thermopylae 15,286 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I saw a bit of The One Show last night and they had a feature about the guy who helped the cop in Manchester. Interestingly they didn't say he was a Bear although of course they had no problem with identifying the hooligans and Rangers fans. So is this just another one of the inconsistencies that the BBC are only too happy to use to blacken our name, or was the guy really not one of us?

lilyadore 9 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 The guy interviewed on the One Show last night as the good samaritan wasn't a bear - he was talking about the policeman getting jumped on by 20 "Ranger" fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermopylae 15,286 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 no he was not a bear. Still good to have it on the record that not everyone there that day was a Bear ... to hear the mhedia you would think it impossible there could have been strangers in Manchester Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coopermania 1 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 no he was not a bear. Still good to have it on the record that not everyone there that day was a Bear ... to hear the mhedia you would think it impossible that there could have been strangers in Manchester Good point Therm. Its clear to all (apart from the mhedia) that some outsiders went there for a fight. I think the estimate was around 200 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,702 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 If you believe the rumours on the forums and the papers after, hooligan elements from clubs up and down England were said to have been there that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've maybe already seen this clip. It was doing the rounds shortly after the final. It speaks for itself really. :angry2: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintbob1969 1,459 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Forget all the prevarification and monkeying around with stats. Rangers have an element of their support who are unacceptable morons and we ought to flatten them like the low life garbage that they are. This is not to say that every other club in the UK does not have similar issues. We are in no way squeaky clean on this and I wish the apologists would stop their piffling excuses. Many decent Scots went down there for a great event and once again the scum of our society let us down. If you are a part-time drinker, part-time supporter with amateur status in wife-beating and inbreeding please fuk off and die, or go support Aberdeen where you'll be perfectly at home.
