    Aye. Not a clever thing to do and the cunt should be hounded for it. Absolutely deserves whatever they get as a punishment. You're in a stadium, CCTV everywhere and you decide to throw broken glass on the pitch 
    Just looking at it from a purely primal point of view, it was as likely to injure our own as it was one of there's - so can't even see any logic to it.

    Hang your head in shame. Scum behaviour from whatever cunt did it. Hopefully a life ban incoming. 
    1-2 and you need 3 points to stay in the title, and some halfwit does that. Get to fuck.
    Worse than anything Gio or any player did today. Too many of these fucking bams getting away with shit like this.

    I have no time for the vigilante social media thing of wanting to destroy people's lives, but there's an obvious bigger picture with this stuff. You might see it as harmless stupidity but if you have Asian parents and you're growing up in Scotland you'll get this all through school, you'll get it when you go out for a drink on a Friday/Saturday night, you'll get it if you play football at any level, etc. It's easy to say it's not a big problem when you don't have to deal with it your whole life.
    For me, I don't really care about Furuhashi himself. He probably expected it the minute he arrived in Scotland and isn't even that bothered. But Rangers isn't just a football team, it's the centre of a community as far as I'm concerned and if we just shrugged it off as no big deal in the way you're suggesting then it would send a pretty abysmal message. The club got it spot on in my opinion.

    The quality of the squad is definitely better and I think we'll finish with more points than last year. It's hard to argue we haven't progressed at all. A better question would be whether we've progressed enough given the investments we've made.

    I can't think of anyone who's fought fight after fight against top level opponents the way Froch has - Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler, Abraham, Ward, Bute were all world level opponents when Froch fought them. He's beaten all of them except Ward, who's light years ahead of everyone. The only person in that division he hasn't fought who's of any standing is Stieglitz and maybe Oosthuizen.
    For someone with fairly limited talent to do what Froch has done is special in my book. Never turns a fight down and manages to beat better fighters through grit and determination alone. Tonight was exactly the same and I don't have any doubt he was winning that regardless of whether the ref had let it go a bit longer or not.

    Actually watching it again groves was definitely gone....we had jelly legs and froch caught him with at least 6 solid unanswered shots....think once everyone calms down and watches it tomorrow they will still feel it was a premature decision but will accept it a bit more and have some sympathy for froch who didn't deserve to get booed!

    gronaldo got a reaction from smartypants in Do we have any of the 400 here?   
    I reckon there might be a few "casual fans" going to it that don't really follow the team that closely or know what the situation is. I know it seems like you'd have to be living under a rock to do that, but we have so many fans that it would only take a tiny percentage to get to 400 sold. That's one of my main worries about this idea of picket lines - it could spill over into hurling abuse at families and whoever else who don't really appreciate the depth of feeling about it.
    Sometimes I think we forget that just because we talk about something intensely on this forum and wherever else, it doesn't mean everyone out there that has some identification with the club follows this stuff as closely.
