Non Sectarian Singing On Train Today

Should of battered his cunt in.

Not too sure, but is this not the sort of moronic comment that people say is typical of us, similar to Goats "should have been a half brick" comment about the object thrown on the pitch yesterday. These are the comments that people remember, while forgetting the reasoned discussions of the "normal" supporters.

Ok we know we are not all angels, (yeh I know that might come as surprise to some of us) but we do need a body within our support to address victimisation, which will give us some redress and ensure this type of behaviour toward our supporters no long goes unpunished or tolerated.

It would appear anyone associated with Rangers now have no human rights in this country

I witnessed something similar many years ago after a game v PSV at Ibrox. Last train from Glasgow Central to Ayr was about to leave when two young Rangers fans came racing up the platform got on and 'disappeared' through the next carriage. Seconds later a railway employee arrived with two Transport Police officers. The employee then "identified" two lads sitting across from me as the ones who had just got on. No matter how much we all complained these two lads were innocent (and it wasn't just football fans present) it had been decided these two lads, trying to get home to Ayr, were to be removed from the train. While not being arrested how were they to get home? "That's your problem" they were told. As our complaints became more heated I couldn't believe it when one of the officers said "Pipe down or I'll empty the f***ing carriage". To cut a long story short, complaints were made through the proper channels. I received a visit from the Lothian & Borders Police who were investigating the incident. Some time later I received a letter saying the officers had been reprimanded. Hopefully something similar will come of this but that's no great comfort to the two lads trying to get to Aberdeen yesterday or Ayr that night years ago.

That is a dreadful situation, really disgusting the way the two young Gers fans were treated...and the tactics of the police officer involved is unbelievable. Just curious, if this incident occurred in Glasgow's Central Station why were Lothian and Borders police involved?

Complaints against one forces officers tend to be investigated by the 'complaints' officers of another force.

This happened today on the train back from todays game. I have passed this along with the names and contact addresses to guys who I believe will bring this up at tomorrows meeting.

On the 18.41 train from Glasgow queen st to Aberdeen. There were 2 young Rangers supporters (estimated age 18-22 years) sitting at the table next to my group. They started singing Penny Arcade first verse when the Guard on the train came to them and threatened them with calling the police for sectarian singing. The boys apologized but quietly insisted that this was a pop song and not sectarian. There had been no complaint from anyone in the carriage. The 2 young men did not sing another word. When the train arrived at Stirling the guard ejected both the young men from the train. The young men left the train without argument although they were heading to Aberdeen and then north from there. At this time xxxx xxxx one of my party questioned the guard, telling him that he was way out of order but the guard removed his ID badge and refused to give his name. Another gentleman who was travelling to Aberdeen (not a football fan) also asked for his name but was refused. This gentlemen later gave me his name and e-mail address.

Another couple (again unknown to us) came to me before they departed in Dundee and passed there names as witnesses.

I again asked the guard for his name tag and he refused witnessed by all above.

A policeman then showed his badge to the guard and asked for his name and again was refused. I don't know if he will follow up on this.

This has to be taken further

no prizes for guessing who the guard supports,but yes this should be tken up with scotrail post haste.

just read the post.

Shocking, probably saw the two lads as an easy target in venting his bias

If this was a group of supporters i feel sure this kind of person would have kept his tail between his legs

Surly with the independent witnesses this cannot be brushed under the carpet
