Fraser Aird's comments have brought more embarrassment to the club though and I would be surprised if McCoist didn't discipline him.

Maybe they could discipline Northumbria Police too, while they're at it.

After all, they said the same that Aird said.

Northumbria police has praised the majority of fans at today's Berwick Rangers game, where a sell out crowd of 4,200 supporters attended the match.

Superintendent Paul Orchard said: "I'd like to praise the majority of fans who were mainly good natured and only interested in action on the pitch.

"Public safety is always our number one priority and given the rural location and number attending the ground we had a policing plan in place.

"Both sets of fans were in good spirits and enjoyed the occasion.

"Despite this, we have received reports that some sectarian chanting did take place and these will be investigated fully."

Three people were arrested at the match - one on suspicion of possession of drugs and two on suspicion of sectarian chanting.

And McCoist already clarified his statement and said it was 'disappointing'.
What more can he say ?

Are you seriously trying to compare what went on today with the Green brigades issue with the club??? Thats just laughable. The GB dont engage in the kind of disgraceful behaviour thats some of your lot did today. Please dont try and compare the two groups

Seriously I don't care I know members of the GB and to be honest they are sinister people so think what you like I will not discuss the GB any further I didn't in your own thread so I don't see why I should in the Rangets one

Really you don't have a clue all you need to do is watch one game and you will see how they are set up now away and annoy someone else. You only come in here when something happens. You sit behind your keyboard spouting nonsense have you ever even seen Rangers when they haven't been playing Celtic. I don't need to make an excuse the part of the ground they have will only hold a few hundred its filled with youngsters and a few older ones with their megaphones

Yes, I have seen Rangers when they havent been playing celtic.

I used to go to Dumfermline games when I was younger and witnessed practically the entire away section of the Rangers support standing and proudly chanting the usual vile sectarian chants that you claim never happen! or are just a minority.

I dont need to listen to lying, dishonest people trying to spin the ugliness of Rangers into something else because ive witnessed it first hand.

Also, if im sitting behind my keyboard spouting nonsense, what are you doing? Standing behind yours? Gliding around it? What an utterly redundant attempt at an insult.

Ah, are we using anecdotes of years ago now ?

BBE said it doesn't happen like that anymore these days, who cares what happened years (maybe decades ? No idea how old you are) ago, it has no bearing on this discussion.

But if you insist: Those days are pretty much gone.

2006 is ancient history then is it?

And also today apparently.

The logical knots you have to tie yourself in to defend Rangers must leave you exhausted.

That thousands of Rangers fans in the away end sang those songs, every single game ?

Most definitely.

The best example you'll find is the game at Hampden, and that's pretty much a one-off compared to the days of old.

But no worries, I'm not expecting Celtic fans to believe or accept that Rangers have made huge improvements.

How about Non-Celtic fans?

Right, its Celtics fault people point out contemptible behavior from Rangers yet again.

TheBuilder · 23-02-2013 09:23PM

What a surprise, Fuhrer pops up when the Rangers fans have stepped out of line, bet you sit waiting on stuff like this.

The fans are a disgrace, and the club will deal with them.

Today at least added credibility to the 'rangers then, rangers now, rangers forever' campaign. Because today typified the common theme in the history of the club/clubs/holding company's history, an intolerance of the Irish emigrants in Scotland.

from the policy of not employing Catholics throughout most of that history, to the song books and attitudes of today, the union knuckle draggers are well represented among a support who although much improved, a large section still remain loyal the policies and attitudes prevelant in the board room throughout much of the history. Ban Catholics, protest at them being signed, sing about the famine being over, why don't they go home and withdraw eggs benedict from the menu.

Rangers then, rangers now, rangers forever. A permanent embarrassment and an occasional disgrace. As true now as it ever was

Eirebear · 24-02-2013 12:02PM

Jesus, I've not seen Celtic fans so happy since beating Barca.

There were a few songs sung yesterday that were out of order, and rightly condemned - but it's hardly the rape and pillage of small grounds around scotland that you were hoping for lads, so i'm sure you'll all make the most of it.

I think your post echoes the official feelings of the club itself. The only condemnation I have seen is by a couple of genuine posters on here.
The official statement was basically "our fans are great, maybe they were a little bit out of order today", a sentiment echoed by McCoist himself.

Yesterday wasn't a "few songs sung", it was 90 minutes of anti-catholic sectarianism and anti-Irish racism, but in the mind of too many Rangers fans, this is no big deal.

It's as big a deal as a black player getting monkey chants for 90 minutes from a large section of an opposition support. I'm fairly sure you would roundly condemn this as would McCoist and the club.

But they don't attach the same importance on the Irish/Catholic abuse as the racism rows that have erupted in English football in the last year.

Charles Green is doing nothing to stop this. For a man who issues rallying cries on a daily basis he has been silent for the last 24 hours. This, is my view is condoning the singing. Where is the announcement that those found guilty will be banned from Ibrox?

90 minutes of anti Irish racism?! Really? Yes there was anti catholic stuff but please enlighten me as to what was anti irish racism? Did you even watch the game when you've came up with something like that?

TBB, No Pope of Rome, 'we were not abused' and Super Rangers (which would be perfectly fine if they dropped one word) were the four songs sang yesterday.

As for the club being silent, they released a statement at half time condemning the singing, if that isn't acting fast then I don't know what is, and I fully expect more to be done about it.

There was a couple of thousand Rangers fans there yesterday, a section of them sang these songs and all of a sudden the entire club is back in the dark ages and its being associated with what happened in the past with Carholics etc, wtf?! Celtic fans don't half like to blow things out of proportion.

The fans who took part are an absolute disgrace and embarrassment to the club and to the 40 odd thousand other fans who attend ibrox every second week without uttering a word of these songs. The same people won't be so brave to sing them next Saturday when they can easily be identified, morons.

Yawn.

"Rightly condemned" = "No big deal"?

You lot really do hear and read whatever you want don't you?

"The club is disappointed by certain outbursts of inappropriate singing by a section of the support at Berwick.

"Our fans have been excellent this season both home and away and we do not want to see this tarnished."

If you think this is a ringing condemnation then you have just proved my post about how serious an issue this is.

Replace disappointing and inappropriate with appalled and disgusting and you have a condemnation.

Jelle1880 · 24-02-2013 12:52PM

It's always the same.

Some Rangers fans sing sectarian songs and all the Celtic fans descend on this thread in outrage.

Some Celtic fans fight amongst themselves and stab each other (I think the Dundee match supervisor called it "the worst i have seen in twenty years of football") and it's forgotten in about a day.

Double standards if ever I saw it.

Lol, of course the statement just means the club love the songs but are releasing the statement to please people :rolleyes:

I like how you ignored the fact you were totally wrong about anti Irish racism etc.

Of course, no good condemnation can be complete without hysterical hyperbole, right?
At Half-Time in a football match, i can't stress the importance of that timing enough, Rangers released a statement speaking of their disappointment in their own fans.

That's "Not doing anything" according to you lot.

Peppa Pig · 24-02-2013 01:01PM

Ah, there was no anti-Irish stuff. So who is "fenian ********" a dig at?
