Carsons Dog Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Dick refused to specify the content of his report but said: "I am from Glasgow and the West of Scotland, I know the songs that are sung and I am not deaf. "I would be very foolish if I did not hear the songs that were sung on Sunday." Well any sane person would conclude that he is actually both foolish and selectively deaf.

Ibroxin83 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 SPL chiefs face having to decide if Rangers are to be punished over offensive chanting by their fans during Sunday's Old Firm clash. It is understood match delegate Alan Dick's report mentions the away support singing the controversial Famine Song at Parkhead. Dick's report is due to land on SPL secretary Iain Blair's desk this morning. Rangers have pleaded with their fans to refrain from singing the song and have had talks with police on how best to tackle the issue. Fans were warned they risked arrest if they persisted. Now the SPL must decide if Rangers have a case to answer under their "unacceptable conduct" rules. Potential punishments are a censure, a fine or points deduction. Dick reported Rangers under similar circumstances in August 2007 after a game at Inverness Caley Thistle. Rangers escaped punishment after the SPL board took into account the club's efforts to eradicate unacceptable conduct by some of their fans. Dick refused to specify the content of his report but said: "I am from Glasgow and the West of Scotland, I know the songs that are sung and I am not deaf. "I would be very foolish if I did not hear the songs that were sung on Sunday." But the Rangers Supporters Trust have warned they will question the motives of the SPL's policy if the club are reported for alleged sectarian chanting by their fans. Trust spokesman David Edgar said: "There were instances of distasteful chanting from both ends on Sunday but, yet again, the focus is only on one set of fans. "We are committed to ridding Scottish football of all genuinely offensive chanting and Rangers fans have responded magnificently over the last couple of years. "But we are left wondering if this is a rule for all SPL clubs or arule simply for Rangers." someone else should look at it this way. pisses me off that it is only ever us that do these things.

Frankie Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Andy Ritchie has spoken to the press before on the subject... CELTIC and Hearts won't be punished by the SPL over alleged sectarianism at Tynecastle on Saturday. Pro-IRA add-ons were clearly heard being sung by sections of the Celtic support and a provocative banner was removed by stewards from the Hearts end. But SPL delegate Andy Ritchie insisted there will be no mention in his official report of inappropriate conduct from either set of supporters. He said: "I spoke with the police commander before and after the game and there was no mention of any of these offences. "The Celtic fans sang a few old Irish songs but that didn't last long. To my knowledge there were no complaints made about offensive singing and there were no sectarian chants that I was aware of. "If I had heard anything which was likely to cause offence you can assume I would include it in my report but I heard nothing. "I also wasn't aware of any banners that would have caused offence." Daily Record, 3rd December, 2005 http://www.kickoutbigotry.org/?p=news&page=3 I'll let you guess which 'grand old team' Ritchie used to play for.

covenanter Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Dick refused to specify the content of his report but said: "I am from Glasgow and the West of Scotland, I know the songs that are sung and I am not deaf. "I would be very foolish if I did not hear the songs that were sung on Sunday." Well any sane person would conclude that he is actually both foolish and selectively deaf. Alan Dick is a clown, he has allowed himself to be hugely influenced by an element within BBC Scotland(again). Remember, at Inverness last season, BBC Radio Scotland announced to their listenership that they were sending Chick Young to find SPL Observer, Alan Dick to ENSURE certain chanting from elements of the Rangers support, were to be included in his report. Similarly, at Love Street on Remembrance Sunday, Alan Dick took advice and the accepted line from BBC Scotland, 'Sellik have a small problem, Rangers have a far bigger problem, reporting Sellik supporters behaviour is not helpful at this time'. Like Spiers, Ewen Murray and, Roddy Forsyth; Alan Dick is anxious to be seen as a useful idiot. Last season at Tynecastle, ra Sellik travelling support ran through the entire lexicon of the Irish republican songbook, lot's of celebration and triumphalism at the murder of innocents. The SPL Observer that day was former Sellik player and long term Sellik Youth Coach, Andy Ritchie. He was asked at the conclusion of the match as to the nature of the continuous offensive chanting emanating from ra Sellik support. His answer tells you all you need to know about the SPL approach to this issue, "the Celtic fans sang a few old Irish songs, nothing to report".

GeneralCartmanLee Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 It confirms our suspicions that this guy leaks his match reports to the papers and gives them interviews.....this guy is an attention seeking moron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffbear Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Surely this sort of transparent officiating must be dealt with. They obviously have an agenda against Rangers but again the silence is deafening from our chairman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochBear Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 A Dick, quite an appropriate name for him me thinks. And if he is from the west of Scotland and is not deaf, then how come he reports us and not them them for their ani-British, anti-Monarchy, PIRA songs and chants? - is this not high treason in the UK?

mark_ni Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 "I know the songs that are sung and I am not deaf". No but you do appear to have "selective hearing" "I would be very foolish if I did not hear the songs that were sung on Sunday." Didnt seem to hear the ones coming from the scum did you, foolish bhoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
