Chick Young who was there told the truth but English still defended the indefensible. I couldn't believe what I was hearing Heard it aswell mate driving to Inverness. Actually shouting at the radio.

AljayBoy 2,354 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I am fucking overjoyed at that statement. I'd just read a sickening account on the BBC site about the game that completely glosses over the scum and was coming on here to vent when I was pointed to the statement and immediately felt better. Knowing that the club are coming out swinging really makes the difference. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JCS 649 Posted May 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2016 An accurate, comprehensive and hard-hitting statement from the club. But make no mistake, this is just the beginning of the 'fight' yet to come. Neither the SFA, Hibs, or the plethora of Rangers hating bigots in the media, police and politics will roll over and acknowledge the sectarian hatred, animosity and vindictiveness that clearly motivated the disgraceful behaviour of the thousands of thugs, bedecked in green (and, in many instances, in green, white and gold), who invaded the pitch yesterday and assaulted our players and staff. It took the SFA/SPFL nine months to dimiss the Motherwell pitch invasion as a mere 'aberration' and conclude that punishment was unnecessary, and I have no doubt they will seek to delay and procrastinate as long as possible in this case to ensure that time will dim memories and blunt the outrage and anger that all decent people must feel at this time. The SFA 'waggons' will be corralled, and Reagan, Petrie et al will ready their political, police and media allies to 'spin' the falsehood of provocation and intimidation by the big, bad Rangers support. In fact everything clicked smoothly into gear even as the disgraceful scenes were being played out on the Hampden pitch. This is no longer just the 'thin end of the wedge', or just another attack to be endured by our club then quickly forgotten. This has got to be the final straw - this is where we must make our stand! Lose this one and we will be forever the 'whipping boy' of Scottish football. Our representations must be forceful and determined and embrace not just the SFA, but the european football authorities and, if necessary, the local and european courts. If we permit violence and intimidation to subdue and silence us, then we might as well close our doors forever. Yes, this statement is an excellent one - but our actions from this point onward, must speak louder than our words.

The Club is ready to fight back the same as our fans. We will always defend our own. RM Monitor And Standards Officer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Avenger 22,569 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Our board have seriously raised this up a notch and rightly so. I will guarantee poison dwarf nicky is preparing her statement for release tomorrow and it will NOT be complimentary to us. I suspect she will go on the attack and deflect onto other matters related to us, as in sectarian singing and the likes. She is a little vindictive cunt of a women and an enemy of the state and she won't rest on this and her scum fc supporters will be making sure she puts the pressure on, so I hope our board have factored this in and are well prepared. If she got ran over with a bus tomorrow it wouldn't be too fuckin soon. Malvern and gmcf 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy 1,200 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 That statement was perfect, I'm glad they waited to see what all the usual suspect would say and react. I'm really happy that the BBC, Sturgeon, English, Petrie and Cosgrove got special mentions, because they've made a career out of making anti-Rangers statements. Cosgrove and English should be removed from national radio as well as the septic supporting producer of sportsound and sportscene. They have to pay for their part in building up this Rangers hatred which, along with booze, fuelled these crazed Irish catholic immigrants to attack us, our players and the club in general.

The facts of yesterday's events are now irrelevant, as the club has since come out and attacked the mhedia in no uncertain terms. The line in the sand is drawn and the sides are now taken. It's now us against the rest. This is going to be one down and dirty campaign and if we think the mhedia gave us a hard time previously, I think we have seen nothing yet. The words from the club could not have been any harder and our club and the fans need every bit of resolve that can be mustered as I am thinking this is going to get bad. I say, bring it on. We will no longer be fucked with, in being a source of entertainment for our haters and the punch bag of the nation. rfc_watp, Ibroxholm, LineysLament and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
