It could reduce to me to tears to how unfairly Rangers are being treated here. There was no sectarian singing at Ibrox against PSV Eindhoven - fact.

There have been RARE renditions of TBB before the turn of the year and from there I cannot remember one game where it has been sang. The RST Chairman made a fool of himself in a cheap attempt to squeeze himself onto the Rangers board in the near future. UEFA's OWN MATCH DELEGATES reported NOTHING. Martin Bain has even made clear that there are some sinister forces at work here to drive Rangers into the ground. You're understanding me wrong. Had there been any sectarian singing, I would be livid. I would be demanding that certain individuals stop singing the songs that only crush the Club in the long-run; however this is not the case. Do not fall into the assumption that the Rangers support are guilty just because the voices of other disgusting zealots say so. The fans are innocent.

Yeah, that's what to do, Mark. Compare us to the National Front. Unbelievable.

Let's clear this up right now. These allegations are regarding sectarian singing in Rangers' Europa League ties with PSV Eindhoven, both at home and away. The songs that have been targeted as 'sectarian' in the past are TBB and The Famine Song: these were not sang home or away. Rangers have every right to defend this.

Evidently he has neither.

Legally, that would be a very foolish thing to do.

Answer my question. From the support that travelled to Eindhoven on here, I've not heard one person say that The Billy Boys was sung, further supported by UEFA's own match delegates who were in attendances and reported back with no problems whatsoever regarding the Rangers songbook.

Really? I don't think it was. You're the very first person to say it was sung. Were you in Eindhoven?

I'm awaiting a reply.

Exactly.

Basically admitted that there was sectarian singing when there quite clearly wasn't. A very stupid thing to say when Martin Bain had already came out to say that Rangers were ready to defend their position "very very vigorously".

Explain why Rangers are allegedly getting charged.

Agreed. The build-up to this game could not be uglier.

Fuck all was sung. It's time to defend the club when someone attacks it on the assumption that they know people will just throw in the towel and presume that Rangers fans were singing sectarian songs. What is the point in UEFA employing their own match delegates if they're only going to ignore their feedback and reports due to the interference of third party complaints, outwith their own organisation? Those of whom do not operate under the same legislation and rules that the delegates are obliged to, and who consequently cannot be taken as impartial in their final judgement. You're wrong. Had their been sectarian singing at either of the mentioned games, then I would be the first asking others to clamp down on certain songs to benefit the Club in the wrong run; however there was not any sectarian singing at Ibrox, nor was there any in Eindhoven. The songs clearly being targeted here are 'The Billy Boys' and 'The Famine Song', both of which were not heard at home or away. This leads to the predicament that those making the allegations have come to conclude that there are other songs within the Rangers songbook that are deemed sectarian. This is most certainly up for argument and the accused - 'the accused being the Rangers support - deserve an explanation to how this judgement could have been reached. Stand up and fight this, Rangers. No Surrender.

No. The spokesman for the RST did, as far as I'm aware.

The homes of El-Hadji Diouf and Kyle Lafferty?

I admire the idea, but it won't happen and even if it did, it's very unlikely to make a difference.

:lol:

All kit manufacturers seem to be running out of ideas. Umbro and Adidas aren't the only two that have resorted back to retro kits of the past with an intent on showing the Club's heritage. They're seriously running out of all creativity. However, that kit is very nice.

Fantastic post. Fuck you all. Rangers were here before you and will be here longer after you. The Rangers Football Club will never die.

No. Why? Because he's a fat cunt and past it. Next.

That's awful in the purest sense of the word. Pathetic.

I reckon we'll squeeze past this one. 1-0 probably.

Not a chance.

The only songs that could possibly be perceived as sectarian by UEFA are TBB and The Famine Song, both of which were not sang at Ibrox and clearly not sang in Eindhoven, as proven by their own match delegate's report. So, what songs are they talking about? Derry's Walls? Guess that's Flower of Scotland out the window too. Penny Arcade? It was only a while until the sinister masonic undertones of a Roy Orbison classic were found out for all the world to hear. Or was it simply, "We Love You Rangers"? Surprisingly enough, this song is the most likely as it seems a crime to be a supporter of The Rangers Football Club nowadays. I could not be angrier. Had TBB and The Famine song been sang home and away, then I'd probably be on here criticising certain people who couldn't find the self-control to stop singing a song for a while; but that is NOT the case. The Rangers Support as a whole are being attacked here by a third party outwith UEFA's interest. If their very own official missed something that an outside group supposedly against racism - or in some cases the word "fascism" is even thrown about(!) - noticed on their sofa's at home watching ESPN, then surely they should be getting the sack? Rangers are being hung out to dry here. Ironically, it's time for Rangers to show 'No Surrender' and fight the Club's honour until the last breath. UEFA, you are a shambolic, corrupt and inept organisation. Fuck you.
