Club Statement

[MacBoyd 5,424]

The song started as banter about British celtic fans singing about their love for Ireland. 

[Junior Soprano 22,428]

Life was much easier when cunts wouldn’t get offended by every little thing that goes on in society.

The police at the time didn't do a single thing. Surely that says they weren't actually that arsed until the bitter bastards put it in the media.

That’s the thing now, the police don’t police, they sit in the office trolling through cctv for days only to come crashing through your door at 6am.

Long are the days they would gie you a boot up the arse and tell you to fuck off up the road.

Difficult as I find it to agree with the club on the stance they have taken I can understand it. Show our club to be squeaky clean and then go after another club who demonstrably are not.

If anti Irish songs and phrases are racist then so are anti British songs and phrases so I assume half the SNP will be lifted for their twitter posts and rants 

One way street. Look at the Scottish national anthem. Anti English surely and should be treated how we are treated. 
Will it be? Not a chance.

The Club had no option. 

Irrespective of the arguments there was only one outcome. 

I have to ask what the hell they were thinking singing that song in front of the Police.

Some will have a police record for a hate crime and their lives will be  affected for potentially years to come.

We can argue about whether it's a hate crime or not on here. Unless they have good lawyers that's what it will be called.

How did they have no option? Have celtic been asked what action they’re taking against cunts fighting on Sunday?

[Malkytfp1 18,579]

Just catching up with this. It's a very volatile topic which we won't all agree on. Think a lot of posters are almost scared to voice an opinion due to the amount of shit you have to eat on here for it but fuck it, that's the nature of a fitba forum.

I get both sides, I preferred the time when you could shout whatever the fuck you wanted within reason and nobody cried however, whether we like it or not - the day is here where the offended are running this shit show and it has the capacity to hurt our club. What are people want the club to do? That's a genuine question and no a dig. For folks slating our board and their actions, what is the alternative?

Genuine question - how do the club know who has been arrested since it didn’t happen at the game to be able to ban them? Surely data protection would prevent the police from telling them?

Maybe the club identified them and gave police the details?

The only cunts we go after is if it’s affecting directors I.e. parks with cinch. What happened to our legal action against cunts accusing players of sectarian singing,the board hate our fans just as much as everyone else does and always have,fucking useless bastards.

Out the window a very long time ago. This country is in the sewers with social media proclaiming victimised at everything and guilty until proven innocent,  then tarred with a brush. Meanwhile over at torbett towers , at least 6 convicted paedophiles and there is nothing to see here, move along.

There is no balance.

Our wee country is just about fucked because of the SNP and now the even more extremist Greens getting some power. 

Bastards.

nothing to do with battling sectarianism but all to do with damaging/ weakening a Unionist organisation to further their separation pish 

Without a doubt, it will have been a planted question for Sturgeon to rant once more.

Slippery slope the club are going down now. Even engaging with the likes of Dornan is pandering to him, his hoardes and makes us look extremely weak when it’s clear he’s as biased as they come. 
 

Banning people for something that happened 4 miles from the stadium is also setting a dangerous precedent and one that Rangers only seem to be told what to do funniely enough. 

 

58 minutes ago, Bluekev said:

Fuck all. It never happened in the ground or near the ground. The police never did anything at the time and it only got acted upon once it was reported in the press and Dornan the clown brought it up.

We as a Club are being pushed into a corner with these horrible bastards and as you say this was not near Ibrox, the tarriers would never have said a word and my worry is that we are now running from the SNP/Greens and that will not end well IMO.

Wouldn't go as far as saying our board hate us but I do agree they could do more. I think we've seen glimpses of them trying to protect our name with things like the BBC on going battles etc but I do think they shoulda done more with your example for instance of the wrongful accusations.

The only thing to do now mate is fight fire with fire. The club need to highlight everything that is anti Rangers, Anti British and any sectarian behaviour aimed towards us to the media and MSPs and demand that action is taken. If action isn't taken then the club need to release a statement to the media that it is a blatant one sided crusade by the powers that be.

Yeah I agree with this. One thing we don't seem to have is someone in a position of power in the media who calls out this shit. They have their Dornan's/Stewart's/  etc, who funnily enough only really started piping up when things on the pitch stopped going their way. 

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,123]

Sturgeon today, everyone is welcome in Scotland 

Tory…except English 

Yet we have the cult.

England out of Scotland 

English go home

No tories in Scotland.

Yet Sturgeon gets offended and the Tory has to apologise 

Where’s Sturgeon’s apology for her fans.

Has the term Orange Bastard ever been litigated in court? I seem to remember it was but can't find any mention if it, so maybe I am wrong.  

[In walter we trust 228]

The club already made a statement , no need for another one , give the lads a fare chance to defend themselves in court

Whatever has happened to the presumption of innocence. One gets the impression that no longer applys in Scotland if you are a Bear.

No that's not the point.

Our club had to act.

forgot about some of them but its typical that the SNP think its acceptable to say that about fellow politicians just because they are conservatives

They have created hatred and division in this country

And for some guy that grew up in the gorbals to pretend to use the word "fag" as that is a term in public schools rather than a typical gay slur is fucking laughable

Interesting that his get out clause was that a word can have more than one meaning

I very much agree with that  my fear is the  Club will not do that, but obviously hope I am wrong.

The first statement about this had a bit that many on here said was having a go at the SNP and others, well they maybe did but saying things that needs people reading between the lines is pointless, if we are going to make a point about those who are trying to harm us then say it loud and clear.

Say we are not going to accept being treated differently so that everyone is fully aware what we are saying.

Why is the club silent on the sectarian videos circulating about our Kitman and wishing death upon him . Rangers should be firing that to the police and politicians

Club are pathetic. Pandering to the haters and contributing to the onslaught.

 

Fucking cowards.

Fucking bang on. 

The more we bend over to these bastards the more they will push to get anything British, Protestant, unionist or loyalist censored. Only way to end this is stand up to them. Sadly our club seem to think throwing our own under the bus will improve things, reality is it will only encourage them.
