english football for the gers. don't make me laugh!. after todays shambolic display on and off the pitch berwick really is the closest we will ever get to real footie. there were more punters at berwick today than at motherwell during the week and no wonder. ITS DIRE!. but after today its all we have as our fans just ain't welcome wi there dynasaur singing. deecee

All the rioting in Belfast has caused this, wish we could just keep the trouble over there but for some strange reason people from the west of Scotland follow like sheep, in the last 6 weeks at dundee and Inverness Celtic fans have been shocking aswell, but yesterday was by far the worse.

I came home and turned on the Tv and the match was on, five minutes was all I lasted listening to the bile coming out of the speakers before I turned it off. Three songs in a row contaning the words Celtic, Fenian B*stards and Catholic Scum, followed by the highly ironic 'We're only here to see the Rangers. '

To the so called fans that sung bigoted songs at yesterdays game. when are you going to realise that this club do not want you as fans. we cannot move on, and build new friends as we progress through the leagues. until we rid ourselves of so called fans like you. so please do is a favour, and either learn once an for all to be proper fans. or walk away and leave this club alone

Just sitting looking at posts regarding the offensive singing at yesterdays game. a lot condemning it, but some agreeing with it. even on here. there are a lot hitting the disagree button. indicating they think this singing is perfectly acceptable. I myself cannot understand what kind of diseased mentality, thinks that singing these kind of songs is acceptable in this day and age. but some people are beyond learning, or else they would have by now. people with guts are going to have to take a brave stand and report these people, leading to life bans, and prosecutions. that is the only way to get rid of these people. they will never learn, as some people were simply born bad. we need to make more friends as we climb the leagues, after what was done to us, not lose them. we need more families to come see us play, instead of these so called bigoted fans. we don't want you people so please do us all a favour, including yourselves, jog on

A lot of comments condemning the singing by a fair chunk of the Rangers support today. These comments are heartening. What is not so good is that people have "disagreed" to some of the posts condemning the sectarian songs! Who disagreed and why won't they be man enough to post on WHY they disagree?
Cowards.

the songs are shameful and I never miss a game

Disagrees can be wind-ups. What's more concerning is the number of posts on the RM site stating how good the singing was and that they should be allowed to sing what they like.

Well maybe the police should do their job and police these sites and ensure these lowlifes never step foot in a football stadium ever again!
But, a ver big but, this is not a fair reflection of the rangers support! These RF followers probably have never set foot inside ibrox and use this as their own personal instrument of hate towards someone else's beliefs, religion and background! let's hope that this doesn't tarnish the true followers of the new club, their support has been amazing and there for the whole world to see! Unfortunately they see the other side on live football, the travelling majority are fine but the knuckle draggers are dragging them all down as well!
It is only the fellow support who can stop this and let's hope they can!
NaCS {Ed013's Note - Why Police these sites? we don't allow abuse on and are 100% against sick chants and bad banter etc}

Ed, I think the guy was meaning sites like RM. you only have to look at that one for 5 mins to see illegal activity, how its still there is a mystery. maybe more fans need to complain? I think the club needs to set something up whereby they can monitor sites using their name. RM seems to be pretty cute about how they use the rangers name. this site is a good example of how things ought to be. strong banter at times but nothing offensive, although I bet some interesting posts are blocked.

@Ed013: I think #3 meant sites like RM, not these sites we're on now.

Sad thing is it seems the bigots that love the songs sung today are on this site, going by all the disagrees. You people are a pathetic bunch and don't belong in this world, times have changed and if you don't then you are going to get a wake up call that you all deserve

Pretty much all the posters have denounced it. that's encouraging.

The ones we can see. there's plenty on here disagreeing. only sanitised views are allowed, thankfully. the club needs to make a stand on this. time to find out if its going to be a modern football club or a haven for bigots. one way is oblivion the other sanity and success. has mr. green got the guts? or will he just let anybody fill his pockets?

Why oh why is our club subjected to the support (if you can call it that), that constantly wants to drag us back to the 17th century. It is beyond belief that those persons are still spouting this garbage. It has no place in any civilised society, and certainly has no place, or should have no place at a football match.

Once again the dregs of society raise their ugly heads, but it is time for the Police to just arrest every single one of them. Why can they not find these people. It is also time for the good fans to point out these morons. The dreamers amongst us talk of joining the English league, why would they want these persons maurading through their towns spouting this garbage. If they must sing these songs, do so in your own house, the rest of us don't want to hear it.

My father never went to a game after Barcelona after the moronic behaviour, I was sickened in Manchester and it still goes on, the lunatics really are running the asylum.

The police arrest them lol it took espn to comPlain before they took action

Chucky wanted/needed them to be on his side, now he's got them let's see how he deals with them because he'll take anyone's money!

Chucky has created this "we are the victims so we can do anything we want" mentality!
Something has to be done before it leads to something far more serious, because I can this powder keg exploding very soon!

boyd signs for killie. just about his standard.

Hel be a rangers player in september

Well Killie are different class to you's mate, you're just a wee 3rd division team with 3rd division standard.

A wee 3rd division team. Yet you lot are obsessed with us

@3: and who exactly are 'you lot'. Isn't the obsession nonsense a bit tired now, especially as there's plenty on here about another club when its team plays in Europe.

Killy is boyds level now you just have to try get to killies level and he might sign for yous

@2 biggest club in scotland and 13th best supported club in europe some small club eh
trueblue

@6: big clubs play in Europe.

N7 states that big clubs play in europe I say so do wee clubs cheers

@4 your right the obsession stuff is beyond boring, but, the obsession remains, or you wouldn't be on here commenting on out wee third division team page

@9: is this just a page for Rangers fans? How do you know who the writer of post 4 supports? Or do you just assume it's not Rangers because they said the obsession thing is a bit tired? Wait a minute, you agreed, so are you really a Rangers fan?

It's not obsession to post on another team's site. Rangers fans are 'obsessed' with many things to do with Celtic - see yesterday's singing, for example. This is a banter page, in case you hadn't noticed and some of the best banter is between opposition fans.

23 Feb 2013 16:40:04
Yep. We will be very welcome in England after that little bout of sectarianism. Just what the English League needs, a little bit of religious hatred. I wonder if Charles joined in the singing on this occassion? as he seems to be an expert on bigotry and schools in the 5 minutes he has spent in Scotland. We are going backwards, not forwards. SICK OF IT.

When will they learn? It's criminal and illegal. People sitting at home don't want it streaming into their homes.

It's not Green's fault these persons behaved as they did - it's the persons themselves. Let's name and shame these muppets and then maybe we can get back to talking about football. Pete

Name and shame fk aw drag the dregs up tae court and give them time. the bar L mite shut them up

Disgusting behaviour today from some of our so called fans.

Why they decided to sing these cringeworthy songs in the far north of England today I have no idea.

I only wish the police had arrested more than two in ordr to put others off in future.

Lets be honest, This goes on in every game, I'm a gers fan and really don't get the anticatholic stuff at all.

23 Feb 2013 23:42:12
This has all reared its ugly head because of one thing,,,,, Green and his constant stand against everything that will not in his eyes make him money,,, his actions since day one were to get fans baying for blood no matter who's. He has used every smokescreen to cover his dealings and now his payback has arrived. These persons probably believe Green woudl be singing with them? ( maybe true) if the price was right.
If I was not a Rangers supporter i'd be on the phone right now, telling ESPN & Sky, that if they show another Rangers game I will cancel my contract.
If that happens you bunch of bloody people then we (Rangers) will suffer do you ever understand the OLD DAYS have gone. excuse my "french" PLEASE **** OFF.

To all the muppets who continue to shame our club with r******* singing - stop following Rangers. Uneducated Neanderthal baboons who if questioned, would know not one jot about the historical "position" they seem to take. Raised in backward households and taught from an early age to hate "them". you lot and The Green Brigade are one and the same. clowns. Supporting Rangers is not about Shaming Rangers. For all our sakes, either stop, or STAY AWAY.

WTF the green brigade got to do with the toxic element on show today??you are the bafoooon!stick to slagging off your own neanderthals, and get your own house in order. vile filth aired live& the tv station has to apologise for SECTARIAN singing, mcoist says a wee bit out order, hang yer head in shame man. SM

Must say that it doesn't help matters when the club release a statement condemning this bile while the match is still in progress only for the manager to inexplicitly declare that he never heard any of it. in order to eradicate the problem we need those with influence to stand shoulder to shoulder in a uniformed rebuke of those responsible. and that also applies to their counterparts on the other side. it needs to stop now. !

McCoists judgement once again let's him down. I know footballers tend to leave school at the earliest juncture with no O levels but by the time they are managers you expect some nouce.

I completely support the club condemning these persons - it was a shameful showing from the person minority and we'll probably get in trouble for it. McCoist was probably focusing on the match, but rightly commented on it afterwards. These 'fans' are damaging our club - let's root them out and move on from this nonsense. Pete

And you say Celtic fans are obsessed? The green bridge weren't at the game today they have nothing to do with anything that happened in that game

The problem is this will never leave football or Scotland, never heard any of the songs but thanks @ 2 for at least putting this into light

A Celtic podcast channel was put out last week about why the green bridge are boycotting Celtic park, cutting to the chase FOCUS had a big part to play in this. The question was even asked if FOCUS even went to ibrox & away games.

By the sound of it McCoist has made a boo boo by not hearing the songs more so if espn have to say sorry to views about it. Ideal world the daily record/Sunday mail will have a joint statement from McCoist & green saying these songs have no place in football

Lenny

For Christ, s sake what is it with you guys? "Mc Coist never heard anything" or "it, s a minority of the support" it, s sickening, that, s exactly what it is and you guys are making excuses for it, grow a pair and nail your colour, s to the mast here and condemn this filth!

It's a sad day when the broadcaster asks the police to do something about the venomous bile being spouted

Espn broke the law with todays broadcast. they had to contact police, but should have shut the broadcast down and sued rangers for damages.

@1 did sky sue celtic when they turned the volume off when singing and chanting during a day of remembrance for soldiers that fot in wars to give us a free country a minute silence is the least these loyal men and women to queen and country deserve a lot of people lost family members during these times Catholics and Protestants so why do celtic fans feel the need to undermime the tradition of the minutes silence I also don't like hearing the bile that comes out of the mouths of sum of the rangers fans there is no need for it we should be singing songs bout our achievements not Irish terrorists on both side

23 Feb 2013 14:15:45
some of the union bears singing today was totally out of order! some of these so called fans really do drag the rest of us down with them! NAME AND SHAME THEM. mark.

Total embraasment.

Totally agree Mark, some of the singing was out of order. Hopefully there will be transparency, and all clubs fans who sing politically incorrect songs are punished accordingly

Agree with you Mark, the fans have been fantastic in their support for the club
nobody can deny that but as we progress as a club we have to leave this
type of singing behind, we have a young team going forward and also a lot of new young support to follow them, we must lead by example and stop this chanting, it shows the club in a bad way
and also the rest of the support who want no part in this, I would rather these people stay away, even if it does mean a drop in gate money as nobody wants to listen to this on live games. Some goal by Andy Little today.
AJM.

It wasn't just the "union bears" there were very few who didn't partake in that disgusting spectacle.

Disgraceful my felliw Bears. As the game is played in England the North Cumbrian Police I am sure deal with this crime, hope they throw the book at them. Our fans have been impeccable home and a.
way this season. let's not get to impetiuos over this.

As if we don't have enough bad press, by and large the support has been the one constant, but today,,, some have shamed the club, it has to stop, it is not clever or smart, if you feel so bigoted, don't follow Rangers, our great club deserve better, we have a magnificent support, I have noticed more mums and kids at matches and great inroads in our fan base, but today has to be a watershed, no more please, no more. Rangers Always.

Couldnt agree more mate. Its time to get these people out of the club. They re dragging us decent supporters down with them.

I commented on this in a post during the week and said this kind of crass comtemptible song choice was creeping back in and had to be samped out. Can someone please name shame and exclude. this is the opportunity to rid the club of this element. Examples have to be seen to be made of. And if Mr Green does take a stand then we have to be seen to support him and not make excuses for that element of support who can't move into the 20th century and refuse to leave this nonsense in the past. I am currently contemplating purchasing season rickets for the coming season for myself and son and I can categorically state there will be no purchase if this is allowed to continue. I fully support the point of the Union Bears and my son prefers that end of the stadium when we go to games however I will not allow or encourage these displays by buying a ticket anywhere near anymore of this nonsense. grow up drop he songs they have plenty of other choices to sing and support the team not a Dead king from history.

Well said, Mark - these persons are damaging our club. Plenty of persons on social networks this afternoon going on about 'history' and 'what about Celtic' etc etc - it's not about any other club, it's about Rangers; and as for history. I would be very surprised if any of these bampots can even read never mind remember a series of important dates. Pete

Op here it was mostly union bears singing that sh*t glad a lot of true rangers fans where booing them! but its upto us real fans to get rid of them only we can bring them down.

@9. I agree we need to sort our own house out before we have any rite condeming others!

It wasn, t the minority singing it was everyone in that enclosure and I heard no booing from fellow supporters. It won't matter a jot what action is taken if any, these clowns
dont know anything else they have always been there and always will be, I find it all so sad. jimbo.

@8 "move into the 20th century"? Wow I think you will find it was the clubs sectarian policies in the 20th century that has bred this type of support!
I for one hoped that your club's liquidation would move their ideas into the 21st century and leave this disgusting behavior behind! But it appears not so, and business as usual!
Name and shame them! Then ban them for life! The only way to show that this is not welcome at any football ground in our country!

I know its not over but is anyone else watching this game and wondering why the hell we are paying some of this dross the money that we are? I really hope some of them get a good kicking at half time!

Winning bad has some times got to be done. Agree with Alister though. Not an excuse but that grond is not suitable for football.

Am I right in believing kevin kyle is on a 12month deal - ie we can release him this summer?

N2 I think kevin the imposter only gets paid when he plays cheers

Kris boyd set to sign for kilmarnock for the rest of the season. Spl all time leading goal scorer - maybe he can add another fee to that fantastic tally.

Kris and little main strikers in sept
