duffman1872 12 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) After FARE retweeting this, surely now this lot can be held to account the clear as day bias against Rangers and the Rangers fans? Wether it was an individual employee or not, this is what we are up against but like I've seen many say before, we need to get our house in order before we can go after them. Just a matter of biding our time providing we don't give them any ammo in the meantime? Edited December 11, 2019 by duffman1872 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 13,541 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 2 hours ago, Walterbear said: Club must raise this with UEFA. They're too busy banning Rangers fans for celebrating last minute winners and waving silly banners, in airports, to recognise the real enemy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEARGER 1,829 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Club 1872 Statement on FARE Dear Member Club 1872 is extremely concerned about an incident this morning where the official account of Football Against Racism Europe (FARE) retweeted a derogatory tweet from a Celtic fan regarding Rangers Football Club and its supporters. FARE has now confirmed that one of their employees retweeted the offensive tweet which was subsequently deleted. They have also issued a statement on Twitter which completely fails to address how and why this happened and is misleading as to the content of the tweet and how long it remained on their Twitter account before they deleted it. FARE has also not given any indication of what action they are taking to address the ongoing concern that a number of their employees are biased against Rangers Football Club. This incident raises further questions about the impartiality and transparency of the organisation, which UEFA has placed in a very powerful position with regard to supporter behaviour at European games. We made Rangers aware of this incident early this morning and they have now confirmed to us that they will be raising the matter with both FARE and UEFA. In the meantime, ahead of a crucial final group game in the Europa League tomorrow night, we would remind supporters of their duty to ensure that no further sanctions are forthcoming from UEFA for sectarian chanting. Regardless of ongoing issues regarding impartiality and transparency with FARE, until UEFA properly examine the way in which the organisation operates they retain the ability to report any incidents as they see fit. Any future sanction for sectarian singing is likely to include a full closure of Ibrox, which would impact tens of thousands of our supporters and have a negative impact on the club’s finances as it continues to improve the playing squad and upgrade club facilities. As supporters we must continue the vocal and positive backing which the team has received in recent months. Club 1872 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RANGERRAB 3,252 Posted December 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2019 Looks like FARE’s mask has slipped at last. We’ve known all along that this vile, secretive organisation is filled with hate-filled, Rangers-hating yahoos with an agenda against Rangers. They kid on they’re anti-racist but now we see they’re racist themselves by employing this sort of pond life. How many others like this have they got? And spare me the ‘junior employee ‘ nonsense. ? The Rangers board must advise UEFA that these Rangers-hating, racists are no longer welcome at Ibrox for European games. And the SFA must act too (for once) in support of one of its foremost clubs. There is no room in football for this now discredited organisation 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
