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.

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
Fuhrer wrote: » 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.

Jelle1880 wrote: » 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.

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.
Peppa Pig wrote: » 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?
TheBuilder wrote: » 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.
rangers wrote: "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."
Eirebear wrote: » Yawn. "Rightly condemned" = "No big deal"? You lot really do hear and read whatever you want don't you?
Peppa Pig wrote: » 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.
