FARE attending the game tonight

[Bigdave30 8,717]

Had a wee browse through FAREs guidelines and came across this.....If only there was a team in football who routinely glorified terrorists with banners, displays and songs eh.

If we’ve closed CD7 then why isn’t it up there? Get it away from the TV / press shots. 

The board are wanting to be seen to be doing something I guess in the hope to mitigate them from the next Uefa punishment.

Fuck that. Do the bare minimum to comply. They aren’t going to take any mitigating behaviour from the board into account when they’re considering our case.

Someone should announce through the PA where they are sitting and ask them to stand up so we can give them a rousing Ibrox welcome

The hypocrisy of UEFA and Piara Powar! Head of FARE yet calls an Asian supporter a `coconut` on twitter! Clear what he meant,brown on the outside white on the inside, a modern version of an `Uncle Tom` yet he is still head of FARE! http://www.anfieldroad.com/news/lfc/2012-02-05/5743/powar-denies-racism-after-coconut-jibe-sent-on-twitter.html/

Link to FARE`s website of incidents https://farenet.org/get-involved/report-discrimination/incidents-lists/ you will notice a `Report Incident` link to the top right which allows anyone to report an incident.No doubt Septic supporters have it bookmarked!

You’re missing the point. FARE are so desperate to cause us harm they went after Penny Arcade. We shouldn’t have to defend ourselves from this bias organisation.

They are a biased organisation no doubt about it but when we clean house and they have no easy ammunition then we can fight fire with fire when they bring up spurious allegations.

[AndrewWilson55 18]

Interesting to find out he was once involved with `Kick It Out` .An Ambassador of theirs (former Septic player) had to step down after continually telling a fabricated story about playing at Ibrox for Septic where bananas were thrown at him "I just picked one up and started eating it" he loved to tell everyone din his speeches.He even gave the half-time and full time score to make it seem more believable! Trouble was there was no such game and the `eating banana` incident took place in Italy by another black player.When confronted with his lies he stepped down.It shows you what Rangers and Rangers fans are up against.We must challenge these liars every time and expose their agenda and hatred!

You'd like to think someone at Rangers will have checked that the banner meets whatever technical specification for minimum dimensions, size of letter, exact content of the message to be displayed and which logos must be displayed, along with any FARE / UEFA directions on precisely where it is to be situated in the stadium.

But then again maybe not. 

Because Robertson, the Company Secretary and others in the Board are rank fucking awful at complying with legal things.   And if there has been a failure to comply …...…….yet more flak from UEFA might beckon.

They are not biased in my opinion as such but more influenced by the sheer number of tarriers using various means to highlight our singing to them.

Just seen the Fare representative coming into the stadium..

[AndrewWilson55 18]

UEFA don`t have a specific charge for `sectarian` `religious` offences so lump it in with racism,hence the tougher penalties than Septic have had.Even though they have had 6 punishments in the last 8 seasons they were only fined everytime because UEFA deem it `Political`. I`m wondering if UEFA cannot bring in a specific charge re sectarian/religion because it might contradict EU law on the right to free religious expression! It seems odd they do not have a specific offence!

Quote

 

"they are not biased in my opinion" Don`t know how to quote yet! Head of FARE married to Asmah Mir a bitter Septic supporting Rangers hater and you really think she has no influence? She used to work for 5Live and in an In-House BBC Magazine interview she was asked a simple question "what team do you support?" She could have just said Septic and moved on but no she went into a rant "I could never support Rangers,I came out of school one day and there were two men in Rangers tops handing out BNP leaflets" She has been challenged to provide a rough date,even the year but refuses.No incident has ever been reported by any news outlet.She is a anpther using her position and influebce to spread lies about Rangers.She now works for BBC Scotland.

It's an old article but proves they have no interest in going after paedo fc

 

THE widespread condemnation which followed Wigan chairman Dave Whelan’s alleged racist and anti-Semitic outburst last week was understandable.

His Alf Garnett-esque comments in the wake of appointing Malky Mackay manager added to the outrage .

Mackay is subject to an FA probe, investigating texts and emails of a racist, sexist and homophobic nature.

The anti-discriminatory bodies didn’t miss Whelan who could now find himself in the dock alongside his manager.

Football Against Racism in Europe were among the many campaign groups who, quite rightly, took the pair to task.

Yet where was the outcry from bodies such as FARE when this month Aleksandar Tonev was hit with a seven-game ban by the SFA for racist conduct?

The celtic midfielder was found guilty by an independent tribunal of abusing Aberdeen’s Shay Logan, reportedly calling him a “f*****g black c***.’

What happened to showing racism the red card?

There was not so much as a yellow from their executive director Piara Powar who is also on FIFA’s anti-racism task force.

Surely if you are the head of an organisation which vows to fight all forms of racism you cannot pick and choose which abhorrent acts to condemn.

And while not for one minute playing down the severity of Mackay and Whelan referring to Chinese people as “Chinks” surely, on a sliding scale, calling a fellow professional a “black c***” is far more offensive?

When John Terry and Luis Suarez were found guilty of similar racist offences Powar and his colleagues couldn’t have been any more critical.

Yet not a word when Tonev was found guilty of “excessive misconduct by the use of offensive, insulting and abusive language of a racist nature”.

Regardless of the fact no hard evidence was presented – it was one Aberdeen’s word against celtic’s – the case against Tonev was proved.

Last year former Rangers chief executive Charles Green was fined by the SFA for “offensive and racist comments” in an interview that referred to former Ibrox commercial director Imran Ahmad.

celtic striker Leigh Griffiths also has a racism charge hanging over his head after being caught on camera singing inappropriate songs along with fellow Hibs supporters.

Again this seems unworthy of FARE’s intervention.

Powar’s name may be familiar to Rangers fans as his organisation was forced to deny claims of a “deliberate and targeted campaign” against the Ibrox club three years ago.

Rangers were disciplined, and correctly so, by UEFA after it emerged supporters sang sectarian songs during the home and away Europa League clashes with PSV Eindhoven.

On both occasions they were reported on the basis of submissions from FARE, rather than the UEFA match delegate.

At the time Powar said: “There are explicit suggestions emanating from Rangers FC of ‘a deliberate and targeted campaign against the club’.

“The FARE network is focused only on our core mission of tackling discrimination in football and encouraging social inclusion through the game. We have no axe to grind with any club.”

In 1999 Rangers defender Lorenzo Amoruso racially abused Nigerian striker Victor Ipkeba during a European clash with Borussia Dortmund.

Again the incident was not included in the UEFA delegate’s report but Powar, then with anti-racism group Kick it Out, demanded it be investigated.

Fast forward to 2013 and former celtic player Paul Elliot had to resign from his positions within the FA and Kick it Out after he branded ex-Charlton defender Richard Rufus a “n****r” in a text conversation.

Powar was quick to Elliot’s defence insisting: “I can understand the concern over the use of the n-word, whoever uses it, in whichever context.

“However, I cannot accept it is racist to use it between two friends and business colleagues in a private text.

“Racism and other forms of discrimination are not simply about words. It may be difficult for some to accept the difference between those words used with discriminatory intent and those that are not.”

But when the League Managers Association misguidedly dismissed Mackay’s comments, which were also sent by text and email, as friendly banter Powar’s private text argument suddenly didn’t hold water.

He tweeted: “Wow! The LMA defending the indefensible. Why would you put out something so utterly ridiculous? Because you haven’t a clue.”

Now this is not about Rangers and celtic but about what is fair and what isn’t.

And when it comes to removing the ugly stain of racism it would seem FARE is not always FAIR.
