In surprised you've yet to point out how Celtic have "the greatest fans on earth" yet pelt a team doctor with coins, run onto the pitch and interfere with opposing players and sing songs that are pro-IRA.
Im all for pro-action against anyone involved with violence at a football event, id ideally like it for all Rangers fans to be well behaved and orderly, just irritates me when people want to single Rangers out for events which happen at their own clubs. Bitter? Hypocritical? i think so.
I cant wait to hear your reasoning for events like this :-
Twenty Major - still smoking in Dublin bars.: Rioting in Dublin
oh, and remember that nice bunch aboard the plane...
BBC NEWS | Wales | Fans warned after plane 'riot'
or how about the plane gestures towards Claudio Reyna at Ibrox after 9/11?
Seriously, there is a scum element at every football club, but single out Rangers if it makes you feel better? |
I don't know why you're dragging other clubs into this, it's pretty weak!
People are discussing the events of the week and just because they support a particular team you're trying to defend your own club with stupid attacks and BBC stories.
I've not even mentioned Celtic in this thread I don't think?
Is a United fan not allowed to criticise what happened in Manchester and Rangers in general just because 3 fans got arrested at Hampden?
You're trying to say "sort out your own flock before casting stones towards others" but it's backfiring and making you look a fool, in my own opinion. It's very Martin Bain.
Celtic fans are as bad as Rangers fans in the vicinity of each other, there's no doubting it. But abroad they are celebrated throughout Europe in a similar way to the Tartan army, as are United, the other team you're attacking this thread. There's no hypocrisy here because I'm not claiming Celtic fans are angels.
There's a sizable minority in the Celtic support which are abhorrent. I think it's a little more complex than saying they're "Pro-IRA" but nevertheless it has no place in football at all and it's hateful and disgusting.
Every Rangers fan I know is a good person but we're discussing the events in Manchester and your crusade to mire every club someone in this thread is connected to is entirely pointless.
The culture within that sizable minority of Rangers Football Club goes against everything I believe in. It includes racism, bigotry, thuggish behaviour and cancerous nationalism of the British empire. I single it out because the only other clubs that are on my radar with this culture are Millwall and Chelsea and that's before we've even touched upon ANYTHING to do with Ireland.
