Itsablueworld 42 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Sectarian row chief marriedto Celtic fan Published: 16 April 2011The head of the anti-racismwatchdog that hasprovided evidence ofsectarianism which couldlead to Rangers having toshut Ibrox for European ties is married to an ardentCeltic fan, it has beenrevealed.Piara Powar, the executivedirector of the FootballAgainst Racism in Europe(FARE) network, is thehusband of Aasmah Mir, theBBC broadcaster who has described herself as anenthusiastic Celtic supporter. Last week, Powar wasforced to defend hisorganisation against claimsthat an orchestratedcampaign had been wagedagainst Rangers, which had resulted in the charges ofsectarian singing beingbrought against the Ibroxclub. It has now emerged thatPowar's Glaswegian wifehas been reported asdeclaring herself"passionate" about Rangers'Old Firm rivals, Celtic. And in a past interview, Mir,a presenter on BBC Radio 5live Drive who was broughtup in Bearsden, has beenquoted as saying that shecould "never" support Rangers, because sheremembered men in theclub's shirts handing out BNPleaflets when she was atschool'.This is a 'doctored' version of her interview.In the original she was simply asked what team do you support?A simple name of said team would have seemed the obvious answer,but no, she chooses to give her 'reasons' why she could never support Rangers.No explanation of why Partick Thistle were given the elbow.I have checked on-line Scottish news records and can find no mention of any such incident.She offers no evidence to support her claim.I suggest that two men in Rangers tops handing out BNP leaflets outside a school would have been newsworthy.What is happening to us now is not new,it's just worse.It's a creeping disease that has been going on for many years.Some just refuse to accept it,still.

Getstiffed 8,863 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 When you can label a stall that is about the beginning of a football club, no more--no less, as bigoted and be taken seriously; you know there is something very much amiss.

Beaujolais 1,371 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 When you can label a stall that is about the beginning of a football club, no more--no less, as bigoted and be taken seriously; you know there is something very much amiss.This....totally agree... This is the sort of behaviour that once given some sort of political sanction as has happened in our case is very dangerous. What next? Kristallnacht!!The story of the Founders Trail and The Gibson Street market leaves me feeling very uneasy about the state of our democracy in this country.

RangersFanBase 611 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Ibrox shut for European ties, who'd actually let that happen? There's far worse things than sectarianism in football grounds. Take Millwall for example; Scrapping with each other and the Police, and then there's all the hooliganism before & after matches.A bit of singing is being shot down. Pssh fuck off wanker. Married a tim now he's caught the anti-rangers agenda. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertybobo 29 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I've heard her old man Tariq Mir owns Boulevard Self Drive at Drumchapel roundabout.How many years have they taken good cash from Rangers fans to pay for their fancy wee hoose in Bearsden?Maybe Rangers fans needing to hire a van will think about going elsewhere.

minstral 5,375 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Thought that you were on about all the handwringers that are employed by our club. They would sell us down the river for places of power at the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
