It is now up to them to stamp down, once and for all, on racism. Rangers, from the top down, will be looking for the appropriate punishment to be given and I think that should a lenient punishment be given, Rangers will fight on until it is. The world is watching Uefa, get it right or you will be tainted forever. I tell you what, if it is swept and the euros go ahead then it would be a perfect time for us and all fans to protest against uefa on the day of a game.

Ger_onimo 20,488 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Surely from UEFA’s point of view they just need to decide whether it’s more likely that he did say it, or he didn’t say it, given the available evidence. Given that pretty much everyone from Celtic fans, to Czech journalists, to Gary Lineker believe that he said it, and that their version of events is ridiculous, I don’t see why UEFA would disagree Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianb1547 3,767 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Good to see from Motherwell and Dundee Utd United players stand with Kamara Dundee United 0-0 Aberdeen Dundee United players also choose not to kneel pre-kick-off to stand in solidarity with Rangers' Glen Kamara. A statement from the club reads: "Dundee United FC stand today with Glen Kamara, and others who suffer at the hands of racism. "Today’s decision to stand rather than take the knee is a show of solidarity by our players to enhance the message that racism in any form is unacceptable and has no place anywhere in society."

People who get offended over taking the knee boggles my mind. If you want to kneel, do it. If you don't, that's ok as well. Respect everyone's wishes. That should be the point.

I have never agreed with taking the knee, it was started by a hellish organisation and jumped on by Sky especially and will do nothing for any black person, but I do like the standing together idea. Well done to these clubs and I say that as not someone who does not like Dun Utd, Motherwell less so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking the knee and the red card are now, as Connor Goldson intimated, gestures. Racism HAS to be erradicated and only the toughest of penalties from Clubs and Authorities will be a start, otherwise it WILL continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely agree with you that taking a knee has lost it's oomf and is having little to zero effect but if Glen Kamara & Kemar Roofe kneel tomorrow after everything they have endured this week, then you have to respect their right to do so. (and I'm sure you will) At this point, I don't think anyone has solutions going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianb1547 3,767 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Was reading earlier about the level of fines UEFA has handed out to clubs/associations for racist behaviour (admittedly by fans)....... Some examples were (in Euros) Bulgaria - 34K, Porto - 16K, Russia - 24K, Spain - 16K, Lazio - 32K Now compare to these... Besiktas - fined 30K for a cat being on the pitch (poor organisation was the 'offence') Simeone - fined 13k for holding his crotch and the best of all.......... Bendtner fined 80K for showing the 'PaddyPower' waistband on his underwear after scoring a goal.

I think taking the knee was just a nonsense, but that is only my opinion, I do not believe I should take the knee to anyone unless the Queen was giving me an honour, which is obviously not going to happen. I do hate racism in any form though and only in this case a severe punishment for Slavia Praque will start to get the message across. Do I expect UEFA to do much, not really they are all mouth and will do fuck all probably, they are also a corrupt organisation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEFA serious on racism? no laughing at the back We ourselves have been fined twice this season, totalling just under what Porto were for racism by fans, for kicking off a matter of seconds late and accidentally failing to abide by new stewarding rules in an empty stadium. They clearly don't care as much as they make out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's their priority, not racism, or anything other than finance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
