Dons_1988 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 No one holds OF fans in lower regard than I do but the SG are getting a bit excited here. It's either an empty threat or a total minter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 I'm also enjoying that the Scottish Government is holding two ludicrously contradictory positions here, simultaneously saying "We ,the Government, are completely powerless to prevent supporters gathering at Parkhead, so we must consider if this threat is real and whether the game should be postponed" and "Rangers should have sent out a tweet telling their supporters to go home on Sunday which would have resulted in the crowds dispersing". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best delete/edit that. 1 minute ago, G51 said: I'm also enjoying that the Scottish Government is holding two ludicrously contradictory positions here, simultaneously saying "We ,the Government, are completely powerless to prevent supporters gathering at Parkhead, so we must consider if this threat is real and whether the game should be postponed" and "Rangers should have sent out a tweet telling their supporters to go home on Sunday which would have resulted in the crowds dispersing". It's deflecting attention away from a lot of negativity though, politicians eh... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiekranky Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I don't know what more the Rangers could have done, there are plenty of pictures of them telling the culprits to go home. At one point the entire squad ran at the gates in a socially distanced manner to tell them to leave and pictures show arriving board members clearly gesturing the errant well wishers should get tae. #witchunt Edited March 12, 2021 by killiekranky 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the players to go to the gates and celebrate with the pillocks that were there, and for Gerrard to be hanging out of the window celebrating with the same pillocks, is not “doing everything they could have.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 No they couldn't have done any more Joey, if the police and government struggled to do anything then what chance does a fitba team have... Everything possible was done and you know it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything possible was done and you know it. This is what a statement looks like telling your fans to stay at home and if you read the full statement it is very clear telling fans what to do. Get that right and you don’t have to play anything over a tannoy as fans have already got the message before venturing out. So yes there is more that could be done. There was not a single explicit message from Rangers prior to fans turning up saying Do not come to the stadium - stay safe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard last press conference prior to the weekend said he wants fans to stay safe but his focus was the team he then pretty much abdicated responsibility to security and the higher ups for making sure that happened. He seemed to be more concerned about the fireworks landing on the park and him getting a little bit of a fright Rangers put out no statements on Twitter or otherwise or did Steven Gerrard that explicitly state do not come to Ibrox , stay at home.

Just take your medicine and hope that next season you have the bragging rights. Nothing you say is going to bring Rangers fans down from cloud 9 I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
