Rangers thread 2020/21

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

That's fair enough, never saw any indication from club or player that there was a problem with the chant though.

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.

I agree, good for him that it happened here. I can't see the Scottish cops charging him.

If you come out and say something you get more abuse. Look at Sterling et al..maybe they just let it go. And there lies the problem. Letting it go..

Will they be taking their oil with them?

Apparently Rangers fans dont want to leave, so the oil is safe. Although if you look.at the voting it's clear many vote for the SNP but keep it quiet. All of my bluenose pals do, putting a future without Tory rule before a Fleg.

After Rangers went down to 9 men this was posted. :)

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.

It was on Saint and Greavsie at the time, Rangers fans were sending their season tickets back in protest to them signing Mark Walters as he was black.

As for Basil Basile Boli's warm reception...

Now they want to take moral high ground.

To be honest, all this whitaboutery is a bit futile. The problem is within football fans, sports fans, & society as a whole, there's racism, bigotry still evident. We know it happens now, never mind 30 years ago.

Each club / section of society has its own problems, it shouldn't matter if its 1% or 50% of the support. If decent people are coming out & condemning it, then that's more voices that might educate & swing that percentage in their favour, so their shouldn't be 1 upmanship as a way of point scoring.

If you really are anti racist, but the player or club making the complaint makes you doubt that in anyway, then are you really anti racist in the first place?

They are backed by a press who support them and forget to mention these things. So, they didn't happen. Nothing to see. Boli was black and catholic. Brought it on himself by being born both. Schoolboy error.

I agree with Kamara doing what he is alleged to have done. If he did it. As Aguero93:20 pointed out though, it will still be assault if there were witnesses.

Well, we'll no either way soon. I agree, if what Slavia is claim to be true, there will be & should be bad consequences for Rangers.

1 thing I don't quite understand though. They claim it was pre meditated, dressing rooms locked, cameras turned off, making it seem like they were trapped & the guy was basically a sitting duck & ambushed.

If that's true....why do it in front of a UEFA delegate? Surely, having a witness that's from the governing body would be highly stupid if this was a 'planned attack'. He also certainly showed no signs of being 'beaten' like the club are accusing when walking to the team bus.

Also, the video taken by 1 of the clubs officials of them all out on the pitch after the event joking around certainly doesn't seem like teammates & officials that have just had teammate badly beaten, you would imagine there would have been a bit more concern & anger at that.

Like I said, if it did happen, we deserve punishment. But considering they couldn't get their stories straight of what the player allegedly said, & the official line eventually of what he says makes no sense at all, & the club have a history of only last season denying / covering up racism towards Lukaku, you can see why I'm not really buying they're telling the full truth.
