ian1964 10,563 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Celtic chiefs: Discriminatory rap is just so un-FARE CELTIC chiefs blasted anti-bigotry campaigners who wrongly claimed the club was at the centre of a sectarian probe. FARE Network accused Hoops fans of “discriminatory chants” in a statement on its website. The group — which in the past reported Rangers to UEFA over supporters’ hate songs — said the incident appeared to stem from a Champions League match against Barcelona in October. But the alleged video “evidence” turned out to be from a fixture between the clubs FIVE years ago, — when there was NO fan trouble. FARE were forced to admit the blunder and remove the offending web link after protests. A Celts spokesman said: “The mistake was disappointing but we are pleased they corrected it quickly.” And a FARE spokesman added: “It appears we may have been mistakenly informed of a game some years ago. The reference to the match has been taken down.” FARE — run by Piara Powar — had Rangers nailed on a UEFA bigot rap in 2011. The club was fined £71,200 and fans were banned from an away game in Europe over incidents in Holland.

der Berliner 3,426 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 So the video was wrong, but the songs were sung, were they not? Was there no FARE man in the ground? Anyone cares to watch the games and notes the time of their IRA-love-in? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,385 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 they should simply rename themselves IRA FC because of the number of IRA songs sung every game. Only patsys like Speirs would say they don't have a problem. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
