Frankie 505 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 The media are currently not interested in such stories unless it involves Rangers fans.It's that simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 505 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 It's also very simple that we shouldn't be so childish as to say consistently 'look at them Mummy, they're bad too'No doubt about it. I'm much more concerned about our problems than anyone elses.Doesn't mean that we can't highlight the inconsistencies though. Especially when one considers the past (and most likely future) discipline problems we've had while others don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 505 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Still need to get our own house in order.No-one is disputing that. And I don't see any Rangers fan suggesting we don't have to.However, at the same time, others club's fans get away with similarly unacceptable behaviour. As such, when the new rules come in for next season, impartiality when it comes to the whole issue will become even more relevant and important.As it stands right now, Rangers would be the only club fined.

Frankie 505 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Not just Geneva my friend. SPL rules next season will mean fines and point deductions.As it stands, going by the incredibly heavy and constant media coverage about only one team, we'll be the one ones punished whilst others such as Celtic and Aberdeen will not be covered.That's why the partiality question has never been more pertinent.

Meanwhile, trying to get him to talk about other club's fans is almost impossible.Of course he won't be here much longer - not that his new position will help us.

Frankie 505 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Of course we do. That is the most important thing and that's why I said it!But if we're going to get punished then so should the other regular offenders. No-one can deny that. Unfortunately, going by the complete absence of similar stories in the press and comments from the authorities, such parity may not happen. That's why highlighting such inconsistencies IS relevant to the overall debate and nothing to be ashamed of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
