bmck 117 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 i just looked at an article online. it just shows how biased language that looks for all the world like observation is. its title is "Policeman tells of lucky escape from Rangers mob". His escape wasn't lucky - one victim of thuggary helped another victim of thuggary to safety. It seems they couldn't bring themself to call the hero of the piece a Rangers fan (he was 'a fan', 'British Army Paramedic' etc) because the power of the piece's premise was based on the actions of an unqualified-for-dramatic-effect "Rangers mob". Such irresponsible linguistic sleights of hand are unbecoming, to the point of moral bankruptcy, for a paper with the reputation of the guardian's. I thought this all left with Spiersy.its obscene. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/may/16/uefa.rangers 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there are dozens of idiots around, he is targetted by some officer of the law with a riot shield.. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmck 117 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 this is going to keep happening - when you read the guy above's quotes, it's a loss less like what the article hints at in the title. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBlue72 0 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Its just what the Media want the General publiuc to see and here , i do not deny that there was hooligans and thugs in our colours causing it with the police , but how lucky was the guy i seen getting the life beaten out of him by 3 riot police against a wall after they charged at everyone in sight after turning up in a riot van, i escaped with a blow to the stomach. These people including myself were standind chatting The police were heavy handed and beating whoever was in Range of there Batons no matter why you were in the area they were under orders to attack anyone to do with Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two different things imo. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buba3d 0 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 People who goad the police deserve what they get, if you see a bunch of twats goading the police and your standing right there chatting with mates or whatever, why don't you leave the area? instead of just standing right smack dang in the middle of it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 People who goad the police deserve what they get, if you see a bunch of twats goading the police and your standing right there chatting with mates or whatever, why don't you leave the area? instead of just standing right smack dang in the middle of it. But just why should those merely standing chatting feel like they HAVE to leave ? Other than for personal safety they shouldn't have to. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than for personal safety they shouldn't have to. i've been involved in two rammy's and let me tell you something, it's quite scary, why you'd want to stay there while its all kicking of is beyond me:( i can see your point, why should you move, you've done nothing wrong but in the eyes of batton weildon police your in the wrong. 99 i along with a fellow ger where in germany, one night it all kicked off because some local team got beat, anyways a rammy broke out and we got stuck in the middle of it, we managed to get out and went up a side street only to get caught in it again, still have the scar on the side of my pinky. also back during 10 in a row, 4 of us went to see the utd away game on the big screens at ibrox, on the way home we got on a bus in town which was full of tims, we didn't know at the time when they started belting out there fav him's, of course one of the guys the back of bus shouted and windows got kicked in, the driver fucked off and locked us in the bus full of tims. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
