Re: Wow those Rangers fans know how to kick off...

Seems to be a bit strong - and some of the remarks I find interesting.

I know what would happen with a set of english club fans if the same situation happened.

There would be mindless morons throwing stuff and baying for blood and a fight.

Its not the fans...its few mindless idiots that have been on an all day drinking binge...that have kicked off at the slightest irritation.

How did the original post generaslise, it was a posted link?!!! You can say all you want about how its been blown out of proportion by the media, the Police were heavy handed etc etc, but i saw footage of a few Police being chased by scum who then en mass tripped up a Policeman and basically laid into him............ so that particular section of folk wearing Rangers colours are stupid thick louts who can't take their booze and can't handle losing, its not unplausable that some of these people weren't even Scottish as Rangers have fans from all countries you know, so i said 'Rangers fans know how to kick off' Ray, not 'Scottish fans know how to kick off'.

The final made a mockery of the UEFA Cup anyway, two rubbish teams playing rubbish football IMHO. In Scotland it's all about the HOOPS!!!!! (Celtic)

I'm not quite sure what you mean?
When you say the first double was a fluke, do you actually mean double? Or do you mean TREBLE? Are you talking about when we won the TREBLE? Because you said double, but it seems like you're referring to the TREBLE actually.
Could you clarify?
I mean, we're the only English team to ever win the TREBLE, so I think it must be that which you're complaining about.
We've won plenty of doubles as well of course, but it's the TREBLE which probably stands out.

TREBLE


Oh, and talk about fluke, at least we actually WIN competitions. When did you last win anything? All I can see in the recent past is you DRAWING finals. So who's flukey?

Re: Wow those Rangers fans know how to kick off...

a view from a scottish neutral!

I support dundee united (so no bias over last saturday ) i see some interesting comments about the actions of some "idiot" fans, however club football and international football is very different for many reasons, from a fans point of view, Scottish fans have had awards for good behaviour at games in many countries in recent years and English fans have had some pretty bad press, does this mean that scottish fans in general will be punished for this inccident? and because of the past of english fans fighting the man u and chelsea fans will be judged even before they reach Russia???

Now that a scottish clubs support has went mental (a minority ) it seems that they are getting ripped heavily for it, and prob rightly so, violence over a sport is crazy, be passionate but not crazy! im passionate about driving my GTV but if i see a better one i dont want to beat the guy/girls brains out (well maybe for a min )



TO LOOK AND NOT TOUCH IS ONLY TO PONDER

You'd think Manchester Police would be used to dealing with thousands of fans who don't know the city. They manage 60,000 at Old Trafford every alternate week.

Bdum tch that's 2-0

Touché!


Anyway, Rangers fans. Thanks again for coming Manchester Trashed, it was a pleasure having some of you around. Don't worry abut the mess , we'll clean up after you.

100T of beer bottles and cans alone!


And before you are tempted - please don't make any crass comments about Manchester is a dump/always looks like that/can't tell the difference because it is predictable, not funny and not correct.

Why would we do that - Glasgow attracts similar and similarly incorrect comments all the time.

Oh you know Fraser, it is an obvious jibe after the photos are seen.

We have some beautiful architecture and great history around these parts but we just get panned all the time for the supposedly interminable rain (what a day the Rangers fans got - same all week while Lords has been partly rained off), and for the travelling United fans (even though every one else has them )

I love Glasgow - as you say, similar snidey prejudices usually from people who have never been.
