26th of foot 6,082 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Although I am currently 150 miles south of Stonehaven, I have heard on good authority that it was a Bobby Sands Castle that was demolished. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,693 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Must have been a historic sand castle of cultural significance given the amount of frothing it's getting on yahoo, hubz, sheep forums.

StuGers 477 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 I genuinely think that this sandcastle story must be some sort of experiment into how easy it is to spread fake news and get the police involved when the story has a ‘Rangers bad’ tag. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Sandcasless thing is hilarious. Be even funnier if it was believable. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuGers 477 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Rangers fan march spoils pensioner's birthday Rangers fan march spoils pensioner's birthday 8 A guide to a night like no other - Manchester's secret bars Find out more Promoted by CrossCountry ADVERTISEMENT A RANGERS fans group have been criticised amid claims a 70-year-old’s birthday party had to be cancelled because of a pre-match demonstration. The Union Bears led a march to Ibrox Stadium before the club’s tie with St Mirren last week, having previously been criticised for a similar walk before an Old Firm game this year. Hundreds of supporters were seen marching down Brand Street, banging drums, chanting and some holding flares. And that is said to have prompted the family of an elderly resident at the Ailsa Craig Care Home to shut down a birthday bash. Police Scotland have admitted they are finding it difficult to track the organisers of the march but warned that season ticketscould be confiscated. Inspector Kevin Lammie said: “It’s challenging to find out who the organiser is. Police have an intelligence department where we’re reviewing these incidents. “These will be reported to Rangers who take a very dim view with season tickets being taken off people.” But area councillor Ricky Bell hit back and said: “It can’t be that hard to find out who is organising it. You could start by asking the guy at the front of the march holding the megaphone. “It’s exactly what was said after the first one in March before the Old Firm game. The same type of behaviour has taken place again outside an old folks’ home. “There’s been some fairly severe action taken against fans of other clubs in the city, but I think we’d like to get assurances that you are doing something here. “It’s not acceptable just to allow this to go on as a permanent fixture within the football calendar in and around the Ibrox and Cessnock area.” In March this year, a similar demonstration was criticised after flares were set off and a banner portraying someone being kicked was held by supporters. Stephen Dornan, who recently led calls to stop Rangers using the Ibrox Football Centre for a fan zone, called for season tickets to be taken from those who use flares or hold offensive banners. He added: “There was a march and it stopped outside the old folks’ home. A birthday party at the home was cancelled because of that. “That kind of thing happened in the East End with the Green Brigade but there doesn’t seem to be the same urgency to deal with it here. “It cannot continue because some of the stuff there is generally offensive. Banners portraying people with their heads kicked-in can’t continue.” An Ailsa Craig Care Home source said: “The home didn’t cancel the birthday party, it was the family’s decision.” 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuGers 477 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 I thought the sandcastles story was as ridiculous as it could get but this takes the biscuit. interesting to see some familiar political names commenting on the story. Mr Dornan comments on Green Brigade marches in the East end but doesn’t mention if they were then banned or not. Memory is that they still have their pro-terrorist marches towards their Stadium of Secrets. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hopefully pro independence marches are treated similarly. They stop traffic and there are offensive slogans aplenty. What's good for the goose... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,376 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Although I did not condone the march,on looking at street map of Brand Street and so mentioned care home,it looks as if home is well off Brand Street and makes me wonder how march could have stopped outside it. Unless stopped by police would the march not have been continually moving? Really pi***s me off the negativity shown to our club and fans,be it that this might be fake news. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time we’re at Ibrox we’ll have another child-bottling story. It’s almost like the ‘Rangers-stealing-Church-water’ stories a few years back released on certain ‘Celtic’ websites were just test-runs before they started releasing the stories in the MSM. Next week: ‘Rangers fans ATTACK little boy because his balloon is GREEN’. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
