As usual Smith and Peat seem oblivious to anything that went on in Manchester, that makes them as much part of the problem as the denials from RFC an their fans.

As any other Rangers fan you mean.

The lack of action tells its own story in my humble opinion.

exactly but the SFA will do nothing except blow hot air
maybe if it was Celtic they would have done something like close celtic park down for a month but do something against rangers why would they start doing that now?

Mr Paranoid Android. 'They're all against us!'

You got off lightly when that manky twat ran on the pitch and touched Dida.

They won't be thrown out of Europe for a riot miles from the stadium, the SFA is a stupid joke, but even they aren't that dumb.

His definition of "passionate" is stupid and self-serving - much like the rest of his article.

He also makes the classic mistake of equating a number of arrests with the behaviour of a crowd.

[Swampy]

His definition of "passionate" is still stupid and self-serving, and his bizarre opening statement - one that seems to reflect that working-class fans can only display their passion in a crowd through violence - runs counter to reality.

For the few on the board that can read more than a few sentences here is his longer essay on the same theme. Although I do not necessarily chime with his marxist analysis on the "Poisonous attitudes towards the ignorant, dangerous masses" I do believe that "the self-righteous flagellation" that occurred on this message board on Wednesday night and Thursday morning rings true when he says.

"The reaction to the trouble involving Glasgow Rangers supporters in Manchester, after a big screen showing the UEFA Cup Final in the city centre broke down, has been a riot of self-righteous flagellation. The British prime minister, the Scottish first minister, the leaders of Manchester and Glasgow and just about everybody else in range of a microphone or a computer keyboard has denounced the disgrace/shame/evil of the Rangers fans."

This must be peculiar to this messageboard that the dopey wanks need it typed in big bold letters who the person they are talking to supports.

'Duh, he supports Rangers me no like that, me say bad things!'

What a bunch of fucking mongos, going on about hun c***s and hating them and the players and you cheer them on for Scotland

I was in Glasgow city centre AFTER the Scotland - Italy game and AFTER the Scotland - France game and I witnessed trouble. I also heard racist chants about Italians and about the English but this is ignored because it was the good, jolly old tartan army that were involved.




Kenny McAskill: Scotland games should be early kick-offs
Apr 10 2008

JUSTICE secretary Kenny MacAskill has called for early kick-offs at important Scotland football matches to cut alcohol-related crime.

He wants to avoid a repeat of violence seen after the crunch Euro 2008 qualifier with Italy last November, which started at 5pm.

The Scottish Football Association insist police will always have the final say on the scheduling of Scotland's international matches.

MacAskill wants to avoid a repeat of violence which followed the crunch Euro 2008 qualifier with Italy last November, which started at 5pm.

The SFA insist police and the other emergency services already have a crucial say in the timing of games, and will continue to do so.

An SFA spokesman said: "Our position is that obviously the Italy game was an exceptional match, and the whole country was up for it.

"There has been no recent history of trouble with the Tartan Army and we work and will continue to work with police on the timing of matches.

"We take the lead from the police and emergency services."

Although there were no major incidents around Hampden following the Italy match, which Scotland lost 2-1, cases of domestic violence on the day rose above average.

Mr MacAskill has claimed a jump in crime after the match was caused by people drinking all day.

He is now demanding big international games kick off early, as Old Firm matches do at weekends.

He told The Scottish Sun newspaper: "It's not just Old Firm games where kick-off times are important. I was at the Scotland-Italy game where we didn't get the result we wanted.

"But we know ambulance call-outs went through the roof immediately after the match, as did domestic violence figures.

"That wasn't because we had lost. It was because people had been drinking too much all day."

The timings of matches during Scotland's upcoming World Cup qualifying campaign have yet to be determined.

The SFA opted for a later than usual kick-off time for the Italy game in October following a request from Italian broadcasters, and after consultation with police.


Rangers travelled abroad this season numerous times without ANY trouble whatsoever but that has been conveniently forgotten about now.

You can try and tar all Rangers supporters with the same brush but it makes you look like a clown as I have already said. I was in Manchester, was a bit drunk, went to the match, had a great time and didn't know anything about the trouble until well after the game when trying to get back to my hotel.

The problem in this backward little country is that alcohol plays too much of a role in peoples everyday lives. To have a go at all Rangers fans because they were drunk in Manchester is just pathetic when you know as well as I do that it is something most football fans in this country do on their travels.

Their is an element of the Rangers support which need to be washed out without question but what makes this whole situation laughable is the anti Rangers brigade jumping on this and trying to take the moral high ground when all clubs and the national side have a scum element within their following.

I'm an intelligent guy. I don't need anyone else to tell me that. We have issues which need addressed but I am sick to the back teeth of these empty fucking words from opposition fans who are simply jumping on the bandwagon.

This is football, and we would be letting ourselves down if we didn't have a go at you lot, it's not like you made it difficult.
Yes, lots of clubs and towns have a scum element, however you would have to admit that you and your potato munching cousins have a bigger fanbase, and therefore a bigger scum element.

It still exists in some form because I've recently been working on several projects for North Lanarkshire Schools and also South Lanarkshire College.
