Rangers thread 2020/21

[Magicpole]

A set of fans that showered Rangers Mark Walters with bananas and the only club in world football that have a twice convicted syrup wearing racist as a striker taking the moral high ground over racism.

How would you describe this, if not racist? Just banter? Geography not a strong pint with the doss **** who scrawled that as it's Korea and China who eat dogs, but hey ho.

I'd describe it as an appalling lack of knowledge of the variance in cuisine between different Asian countries.

"Nakamura ate my goldfish" now, that would have been a lot more accurate.

Slavia apparently looking to make a criminal complaint regarding assault, per BBC Sport.

A Rangers forum has found an image from Slavia hooligans saying "Kamara - Just a ******"

Just mind boggling.

If Kamara set about him I woukd say he was provoked into it and I would more than definitely done the same. However, I would be charged. That banner and excuse is utterly shite. The problem with the **** whispering in his ear in a legal context, is no one else heard it so proving he said that he did is problematic.. I have no doubt the racist **** did, but proving he did is an issue. For me Kamara battering the **** was justified. Unfortunately I don't enforce the law.

If he'd hit him straight away I'd say it would have been provocation and justified (heat of the moment). If he's waited in the tunnel for him after the game it's premeditated assault.

I agree. I myself didn't know the Japanese ate goldfish. Then again I wouldn't be scrawling a racist banner, and certainly not about cuisine, Japanese or otherwise. My great uncle was captured in Burma in 1942 and spent years in a camp. I suppose he woukd have been glad to have a few goldfish. Although I still wouldn't make a banner about it.

Many a barney happens in the tunnel.. I agree it make a it harder to avoid consequences. He probably should have just knocked him out on the park, but I understand how he could have lost it.

In my experience they seem to eat anything that swims (understandable, just like Iceland they're an island nation without much arable land) including a lot of things that we wouldn't touch, although I doubt they eat goldfish, but as with anything in that kind of vein, the less believable it is, the more likely it is to be seen as banter and not discrimination. Rags used to sing a song about Ji-Sung Park eating dogs and the dippers eating rats, don't think anyone ever saw it as racist tbf.

Any chance Rangers and Celtic can form their own breakaway league of 2?

They would still have the same chance of winning the title and they get to kick lumps out of each other every week.

How many English clubs would you say can win it? You have 4 realistically. Ten times our population, yet we have half that.

I'm just saying that's probably the way it'll be viewed by the police and judiciary. If you do something in the heat of the moment they'll consider the level of provocation but if you have the chance to step back and calm down and don't you'll be treated with far less leniency. There was handbags on the pitch, everything calmed down and they were on the field of play for a good few minutes afterwards. If he's then gone and hit him after they've left the pitch he's in trouble. The shit with the dresssing room doesn't help there either as if Slavia are in their dressing room it probably doesn't happen.

You're a white guy from Europe. Its not your shout. You woukd need to ask Sung Park how he viewed it.
