Tannochsidebear 2,320 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 MEETING OF RANGERS SUPPORTERS CLUBS AND ORGANISATIONS AT IBROX STADIUM ON 24 JULY 2011. Around 100 representatives of Rangers Supporters Clubs and fans group organisations held a meeting at Ibrox Stadium on Sunday to continue their call for the self-policing initiative to eradicate sectarian and offensive singing which has proven so successful in recent times. We will continue to ask that fans eradicate all singing of The Billy Boys, references to Fenians, and FTP. Other songs which have been incorrectly challenged by some observers like The Sash and Build My Gallows, which contain no sectarian references at all, will continue to be allowed after discussions with the club, Police officials, and legal experts. The fans were congratulated for their tremendous backing of the team during both the run-in to last season and during pre-season where we travelled in huge numbers to the friendly matches without incident. Many of our fans feel that the level of scrutiny and media attention is not even-handed. In particular, Celtic fans continue their disgraceful and offensive singing in support of the IRA, witnessed again at Easter Road on Sunday despite calls from their Manager and other spokesmen for it to cease. Yet again though, there has been no comment from the media and the relevant authorities. Similarly, there was no comment following the Hearts v Celtic match back in May when the same offensive singing by Celtic fans was a feature of the whole match. No longer will the Rangers support sit idly by and be the only support under the microscope while others continue to sully the name of Scottish football shown on live television across the world. We are well aware that in the past we have had our problems, and we will continue to be vigilant, but in this new era for the club the fans are determined to play our part, and all we seek is a level playing field where all other clubs are under the same scrutiny. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dutchy Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I don't think we have a problem at home, unlike septic. It's what happens at away games that could kill us. There was some inclinations to it at Blackpool the other week. I didn't think any of it was so bad, but what was going on amongst the crowd. Was that not what got us in the shit during the Eindhoven games? Which also sounded fine to me, but we got our fans banned to away games. How do you stop an individual spouting some choice comments, possibly full of beer, and some wee shit spying? Get stuck into anyone with a note book, refs excluded. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
