I always find that kow towing to harrassment and accusations works wonders. ?

Inspiring stuff. Not that the away support will pay any attention to it.

1,690 at the moment.

Nice to hear some Skynyrd on there. Maybe we could adapt Gimme Back My Bullets. ?

In Belgrade I couldn't see anyone's face because of all the smoke bombs and flares. It was truly invigorating after years of being part of sterile atmospheres in British grounds. Passion tends to stand up.

Can someone get pete a Doctor?

It sounds, to me, like Club1872 have come down with a severe dose of paranoia.* *insert multiple smileys here

The 'Knights' comment was meant in humour (I'd have thought that was obvious). The Sinn Fein/SNP comment was deadly serious.

I thought this was a Rangers forum. Not mumsnet. ?

Can anyone provide any examples of violence that have occurred on the various UB marches?

That's just paranoia though, Bluedell.* *insert multiple smileys here

No one in Scotland, outside of the press, actually cares about a couple of teenagers wearing balaclavas on a well-Policed march. Knickers definitely need to be untwisted. We used to run wild in previous decades. What happened to us?

Humza. Dornan. Michael Stewart. Pure paranoia, so it is.

Are grown men seriously intimidated by teenagers, who are surrounded by Police officers, wearing balaclavas on an organised march? There are plenty of truly 'sinister' things going on in Scottish football just now.

It's fine. Wanting to kill someone due to political beliefs is all well and good...as long as you're on the correct SNP/Sinn Fein side. However, if you want to stick a nasty word about people who want to break up the UK into a song then Steve Clark will have a mental breakdown and the Knights of St Columbus (or Spiers, McLaughlin, English, Leckie and Haggerty, as you and I know them) will be springing out of their traps quick smart.

I reckon, in total, there have been about 15 balaclavas worn by UBs in the last decade - all outside Ibrox. What a lot of fuss about nothing. They wear them so the Police don't turn up at their doors in a few weeks and lift them for this, that or the next thing. It would only be sinister if violence was likely and it never has been. The issues here are safe standing and their location within Ibrox.

"I don't want to stand, so no one else gets to". Charming.

Who said anything about an entire stand? Singing a few songs and clapping in unison is not "chaos".

No one would be forcing anyone to buy a safe standing ticket. It would account for a very small section, in relative terms. I can't stand sitting at the football. It'd be nice to have the choice.

Good question.

Agreed. However, there are many who would rather the stadium was like a library, judging by the (multiple) conversations I have read on this matter.

Seems fair enough.

I find it hard to believe the sheep played a deep 'defense' at home against Hamilton. Anyone who thinks the sheep put in the same effort against Hamilton and Rangers is deluded. We have stuffed two crap sides and a decent side that played most of the match with 10 men. Don't get carried away...

My own thinking is that they aren't being moved or that they're unhappy about King and Gerrard's statements in response to Clark's whining last week.

Some folk will use any excuse to have a go at Rangers suppporters.
