RFC55 110,223 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Last night the police moved in to end the protest Fucking bullshit RANGERS fans protested against the Scottish Government's proposed anti-sectarian legislation last night, when they raised banners and sang songs attacking the SNP administration at Ibrox.During a league match against Kilmarnock, members of the Blue Order unfurled three large banners that read "SNP Weak On Criminals, Tough On Fans", "Undefinable (sic] Law Against Supporters" and "Football Fans Not Criminals", while chanting abusive songs about the party and First Minister Alex Salmond.The order, set up in 2002, specialises in leading the singing of Rangers songs "to help make Ibrox more intimidating for away teams".Though apparently attacking the administration's plans to clamp down on sectarian singing during matches, the protest is understood to have been prompted by the arrest of three men during a match in Dunfermline on Saturday. Spectators at last night's match said that the protest lasted for two-thirds of the game, then police acted to end the protest. One observer said: "About 15 minutes into the second half, the police moved in, just as Rangers scored their first goal. I don't know if they kicked them out or moved them to another part of the stadium. Quite a few were taken out. There were about three rows of empty seats left."Strathclyde Police could not confirm whether or not there had been any arrests.The protest comes at a time of tension between Old Firm fans and the Scottish Government over its plans to tackle sectarian behaviour at football matches.The Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Bill has been criticised for being too "vague" and ill-defined over what constitutes sectarian behaviour. A Scottish Government spokeswoman said: "Law-abiding football fans - who are the overwhelming majority - have absolutely nothing to worry about from the proposed legislation, but sectarianism and other offensive behaviour will not be tolerated in modern Scotland."The fans left before the 1st goal.

Stu1993 101 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Like i said in the other thread, the police moved into the group when someone was down getting treatment, it was the only time the whole night the group weren't singing. Was fucking disgusting and it must stop.I thought the display and protest chanting was superb Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind that. Whats this all about? "Law-abiding football fans - who are the overwhelming majority - have absolutely nothing to worry about from the proposed legislation, but sectarianism and other offensive behaviour will not be tolerated in modern Scotland." There was no sectarian singing. Just banners stating what the Rangers support feel. Is saying what you feel not tolerated "in modern Scotland" anymore. Salmond is turning this country into a mini Nazi Germany. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
