Tumshie RFC 0 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 The whole thing stinks. Rangers have to take this all the way. I agree that TBB, Famine Song, FTP has to be binned by the support but I heard none of that over the two legs of that tie. Apart from 20 mins in the second half the atmosphere at Ibrox was pretty poor not helped by the awful football on show in the first half. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,370 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 No point Ian. It's not their guilt that's in doubt, only the willingness of those organisations to do something about it. Aye,I know mate,I'm just spouting off again 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Desmond son of Dermot Desmond So Piara Powar is employed by a company part-owned by Dermot Desmond's son. Yet again, his impartiality has to be open to question, given the fact that he must benefit financially from this arrangement. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maineflyer 0 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Oh what a tangled web they weave.......... You know Dutchy, I wonder if any of us appreciates just how far that particular web stretches. It's not Celtic and it's not the Irish thing, it's not religious and it sure as hell isn't a racial matter. It's not even unique to Scotland. These are just convenient vehicles for a catholic cult determined to lever itself into positions of power within society. Spurred by a need to address the negativity of the abuse scandals, they seem to have accelerated things recently but in reality this has been the way of that cult for two thousand years and they're exceptionally good at it, and totally dedicated to the political game. I mean, any organisation that can sexually abuse children for hundreds of years in every corner of humanity and still promote itself as a force for good in the world has to be either mad or bad or both .... but it also has to be incredibly adept at gaining and using influence in high places to survive and prosper. It's like a bloody cancer and it's all over us at the moment. I think we're only beginning to see the results of what has been happening in dark corners for a long time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I've been saying for sometime now Maineflyer about the purposes of the 'holier than thou' brigade due to their infiltration of poitics and media positions, as evedences by that Mir woman and her man. Still, they claim that Scotalnd is not a place for them and they've usually been drummed out by sectarianism. I fully acknowledge we, as a country, have a problem with bigotry, but surely it's not to the extent that people are excluded from advancing. Unless you belong to Lanarkshire Labour Council of 10 years ago lol. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one correction MF we are not talking about hundreds of years here but thousands. The early Romans used it as a way of teaching their children. It has been going on that long and still exists today. Hail Hail. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,370 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Sectarian row chief married to Celtic fan Published Date: 17 April 2011 By Tom Peterkin THE head of the anti-racism watchdog that has provided evidence of sectarianism which could lead to Rangers having to shut Ibrox for European ties is married to an ardent Celtic fan, it has been revealed. Piara Powar, the executive director of the Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) network, is the husband of Aasmah Mir, the BBC broadcaster who has described herself as an enthusiastic Celtic supporter. Last week, Powar was forced to defend his organisation against claims that an orchestrated campaign had been waged against Rangers, which had resulted in the charges of sectarian singing being brought against the Ibrox club. It has now emerged that Powar's Glaswegian wife has been reported as declaring herself "passionate" about Rangers' Old Firm rivals, Celtic. And in a past interview, Mir, a presenter on BBC Radio 5 live Drive who was brought up in Bearsden, has been quoted as saying that she could "never" support Rangers, because she remembered men in the club's shirts handing out BNP leaflets when she was at school. Rangers were last week charged by UEFA with an offence of alleged sectarian singing by their supporters following the first leg of their Europa League tie with PSV Eindhoven last month. The club is appealing against the decision later this month but, if unsuccessful, it faces a �£100,000 fine and having its fans banned from its next two away fixtures. The team will also have to play its next two home matches behind closed doors after reports that sectarian songs were sung at the PSV Eindhoven return leg at Ibrox. Rangers are angry that UEFA's correspondence on the subject includes a complaint from Powar's FARE organisation. At the hearing, Rangers will argue that UEFA should not act on complaints from outside bodies, which might contradict the observations of their own match delegates. The club's chief executive, Martin Bain, said Rangers had never denied that sectarian singing was a problem but added: "This now has all the hallmarks of a deliberate and targeted campaign against the club." There is no suggestion that Mr Powar's wife's views have played any part in his decision-making, but the revelation is sure to add to the controversy. Yesterday, the Rangers Supporters Trust complained that FARE had taken a "highly subjective" approach to the issue of offensive behaviour at matches. Smith suggested Rangers had been treated unfairly compared with clubs in Spain and Russia. He also said that Spurs fans had shouted racist abuse when the London club played Real Madrid recently. "Racism is endemic in Spanish football, and Russian football is riddled with it," Smith said. "FARE have a questionable agenda. That's our concern. We are looking to them to explain what Martin Bain has been talking about." Smith claimed that the Trust had also written to FARE about racist treatment dished out to their Senegalese striker El Hadji Diouf, but had not had a reply. Mir, 39, is from a Scottish/Pakistani family . After graduating in law from Bristol University, she worked in newspapers and for Scottish Television. Her CV includes stints on BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland. She is a regular on Lorraine Kelly's ITV show Lorraine and joined BBC Five live 10 years ago. Mir has said in interviews that she began supporting Celtic when she worked at Scottish Television. In interviews, she has described herself as a "huge" and "passionate" fan. She said she chose Celtic, because she saw the team as the underdogs. She said: "I've always had an affection for the underdog. But it never was going to be Rangers anyway - not since my schooldays when I remember these older guys coming to the school gates wearing Rangers tops and handing out leaflets supporting the BNP." Mir and Powar declined to comment yesterday, as did Rangers FC. http://sport.scotsman.com/celticfc/Sectarian-row-chief-married-to.6753118.jp?articlepage=2 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
