What am I missing ? The video of the players was proven to be fake, so why would they condemn the players ? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoohBear 1,148 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Do people know that the fans haven’t been spoken with by either the police or Rangers? Perhaps the fans admitted to doing it. I see as well that heart and hand are going to be getting it tight from the Daily Record for historical tweets. I’m a patron of H&H and I think Edgar has matured a lot over the years so not sure what historical tweets will prove. However, I do think this was always going to happen and I’m surprised that the club has aligned itself so much with fan websites, FF in particular I find really eye opening. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 26th of foot 6,082 Posted September 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2021 Everyone makes decent points concerning this incident. The situation is the Scottish Government, Police Scotland and, a large section of both broadcast and print media are only interested in sectarianism when it appears to be perpetrated by Rangers supporters. There is a video circulating of a seven/eight year old boy, microphone in hand, in a Kilmarnock club; bellowing, "he's a bastard, he's an orange bastard, his name is Jimmy Bell". He is being accompanied by an adult guitarist and the several dozen Sellik strip attired adults all chorus, "we hope he dies, we hope he dies". The trump card of, 'whataboutery' is played and is thus ignored by all. The scene is truly heartbreaking, social services should be involved. I mention the Primary school child because it highlights a gap, no one at the Scottish Parliament will ask the necessary questions. The Club has made a couple of statements and appear to be assuming responsibility for an incident occurring two miles from the Stadium. Again, we must face the reality of the situation; to allow the Club to get on the front foot of the narrative, we must identify the leadership and organisers of this march through the city centre. The Supporters' Liaison must engage and articulate the ongoing damage being done. Concurrently, those supporters charged should not be abandoned. The authenticity of the video must be examined, the supporters charged have not been found guilty and, a defence fund should be organised for ongoing issues. The politicising of Police Scotland must be exposed. Further, the likes of Humza, James Dornan MSP, Angela Haggerty, ...... etc should be reminded that if their team fails to defend a corner, getting after elements of the Rangers support is being done, only to allow them to feel more comfortable with the result. The Club must question why the SNP has 108 MSPs/MPs and not one supports Rangers. This fact is NOT representative of Scottish life. If it is mentioned often enough, then the narrative changes. This week in Scotland, in excess of 40,000 folks have contracted Covid, the Health Minister, Humza Yousaf has broadcast more on Rangers than his direct responsibility. Taking him on and reminding him of his Office will see Nicola remove him from participation. Finally, after the last independence referendum there was a study into the voting intentions of Scottish football clubs supporters. Rangers supporters registered 40% in support of independence, the highest of all clubs. We used to have a number of posters on Gersnet who supported independence but they have largely withdrawn hors de combat. A pity I say. I want to know the mindset and debate only makes all of us stronger. Those of us supporting the continuing homogeneity of the British Isles have lost an insight into why the Nationalists HATE our Club and support. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
