ricksen_da_best Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 So we'll know by this evening whats happening.Interesting what Platini had to say , " Sometimes the club isn't responsible ".Thats the first time ive heard him speak since it all came out, but going by every paper in this country, The club WAS responsible and we had already been banned for 3 games? and fined heavily?
GeneralCartmanLee Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Rangers have used this as there defence in the past, and won a previous case on the strength of it before the uefa appeal whitewash, and i believe it's our only defence this time if they have recorded audio of us singing "banned " songs.Hard to be sure though as we have no idea what the case is against us and it hasn't leaked out like previous times (unless i have missed it)
ogbg Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 He also said "maybe it's the fans who should be punished - not the club"
ogbg Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Nominal fine and final warning.I disagree. I think his statement means that he would prefer bans to fines.
TheNuts Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Piara Power is a total mouthpiece. So is his wife. Im pretty confident that fuck all will come of this.
Jela Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Did UEFA not say about Spurs that they can't punish a club unless it is mentioned in the match report or by the UEFA officer at the game? If so surely we have decent case to get off on a technicality? as it was a month later that FARE brought it up not the ref or UEFA representative.
Jocky Broon Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Pity Platini didnt explain how you punish the fans without punishing the Club.I expect us to get a ban of sorts and I just wish Rangers had the balls to take it all the way to the European Human Rights Courts.In my opinion we are being held responsible for a social problem that needs to be addressed by a Government starting with the apartheid schools.

GeneralCartmanLee Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 By late this afternoonThe meeting is not to 6 pm
Ace Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 The meeting is not to 6 pmIs that not CET i.e. 2hrs ahead?
ricksen_da_best Posted April 28, 2011 Author Posted April 28, 2011 When do we find out?Later on this evening it says, think the hearings around 5/6 pm.
Redmond7 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Its been in the papers that the UEFA rep did report our singing :-(Yes but UEFA only came out with this after the report from FARE, they initially said there were no negative reports. UEFA are lying bastards. Also, 'Only a written submission has been permitted from Rangers in defence.' is a disgrace to justice.
rossDas Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I read today that we can only submit a written defence only, and not make any direct contribution to the hearing; can anybody confirm whether this is normal procedure for such matters?
Chef Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I think we are gonna get away with this scot free somehow, maybe a ditty fine, then fair comes into question and should be investigated, if fair can make claims, these must be backed with evidence if im right
GeneralCartmanLee Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 ally was just on SSN hammering home the fact it was individual fans that were letting the club diown not the support at large or the club itself. Mentioned the filth and the problems they have, i doubt they will be happy with that...
blueben_d Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I read today that we can only submit a written defence only, and not make any direct contribution to the hearing; can anybody confirm whether this is normal procedure for such matters?It's normal. This is a kangaroo court. We'll be found guilty and will have to appeal, that's when the talking begins.

Mentioned the filth and the problems they have, i doubt they will be happy with that... Did he not also mention something about finding out the outcome around 5.30pm?
eastcoastbear Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 For those that are legal minded, have a look through this....http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefa/Others/72/95/88/729588_DOWNLOAD.pdf
Redmond7 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 It's normal. This is a kangaroo court. We'll be found guilty and will have to appeal, that's when the talking begins.I think we should pursue this all the way to the CAS if goes against us. UEFA are, along with FIFA, probably the most corrupt sporting body on the planet. If you dont count the IOC.
eastcoastbear Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 For those that are legal minded, have a look through this....http://www.uefa.com/...88_DOWNLOAD.pdfFrom what I can see, we have no right to representation today but we do at any appeal. Fuckin mickey mouse outfit.
CoopersLeftBoot Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 For those that are legal minded, have a look through this....http://www.uefa.com/...88_DOWNLOAD.pdfHopefully we've hired a good QC
