Stan petrov Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 The report is really unclear - It says Rangers were basically found not guilty of secterianism, when that is wrong, its Rangers football club who were let off, as they have taken steps to stop it.

Fat Bhoy Tim Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I remember last season it took the Rangers supporting mods about 30 seconds to change the title of both Old Firm topics after the title was decided. Why the delay this year guys? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 An interesting decision last night and it can be considered a victory of sorts for the sound Rangers legal argument. Like the chairman has since said, and Davie Edgar before him, this isn't a ruling to say that Rangers don't have a sectarian problem per se. Of course we do. However, the extent of and what is actually sectarian can be debated and as such it's very difficult for anyone to prove certain stuff without a shadow of a doubt. There is obviously a fine line between offensive and criminal. I hope Rangers fans do take this opportunity to look at themselves and ask some searching questions. For the most part the majority of our fans do appreciate the problems we have and freely admit them. You never hear any of us on here deflecting or denying the issues we have. Now we have to try and eradicate the offensive stuff - not for our detractors but for ourselves and our future generations. Moreover, it's now time for the likes of Graham Spiers and the 'independent' parties who reported this to UEFA (we know who you are!) to be more responsible in their lives. Condemning something is all well and good but if this isn't done constructively then it only serves to build divides and make the problem worse. Education is the key here and for this disease to be cured we need all parties working with each other - not against and in a selfish manner like the people who reported this!

The Gers star had to endure jeers from some of his own supporters during the win against Motherwell, but The Sun have now accepted that their translation of his interview was an unfair representation of his opinions. It had been reported that the former Manchester City shot-stopper was strongly critical of the club and his team-mates for letting departing boss Alex McLeish down. Waterreus was still selected for the clash with 'Well and performed superbly, drawing praise from all quarters. "He can have his opinions if he likes," said team-mate Steven Smith. "But that's the way he is - that's the man he is - but he showed why he is here. "Ronald's always Ronald. "He gets on great with everybody, and we are just happy to have him at this club." Manager McLeish backed his keeper and offered an insight into the matter. "Fans don't like what they read but I'm not at liberty to speak about this because it's in the hands of the club's lawyers," explained the Ibrox boss. "They have felt they have read something that has done Ronald a disservice, to be honest, because we have seen the Dutch transcript."

The 21-year-old, one of Germany's bright young talents, insists there has been no contact with the Glasgow giants and reaffirmed his commitment to his current club. "No-one (from Rangers) has spoken to me," Schweinsteiger said. "I like the atmosphere over there but I also love Bayern and have to say that I have a very long deal with them." Schweinsteiger, who should be part of Germany's squad for this summer's World Cup, admitted he could be tempted by a move to England - but only in the distant future. "Yes, but I am only 21 and want to do well with Bayern," he added. "As long as we're winning, I'm happy." General manager Uli Hoeness has insisted his talented midfielder is not for sale. "If somebody came to us, I would say 'Let's have a nice dinner' but I would tell them there is no chance," said Hoeness, who is unaware of any interest from Rangers. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Like we didn't already know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
