And to think everyone was worried about the fucking Russians!
A two season ban from Europe would be a start

"It were the police just jumping on us for no reason except that I was bludgeoning an officer with a signpost."

that they're using the late great Tommy Burns' death as an excuse to get out of their shitty little parade of shame on the open top bus.

Celtic in Seville and everyone was on best behaviour. They were commended for it. Rangers go anywhere and they turn into complete animals. Hopefully, now, this will be the final straw and Rangers will FINALLY be banned from European football.

but you can't say every Rangers fan is like this.

Aww.

city centre all of yesterday.

Was pretty rambunctious - but good natured. Typically, I get hassle from a certain type of football fan and got none yesterday.

Having said that, most of the fans I saw (lots) were hammered by noon and it was clear to that it'd just take a couple of things gone wrong to turn it ugly.

A shame it couldn't stay good natured. The preparations (aside from faulty screen) seemed accomodating too.

this was a small minority who disgraced the colours. You could see the way things were heading when they bottled the guys trying to fix the screen and refused to board the free buses laid on to take them to a working screen. Other Rangers fans will be very much disappointed by their behaviour. Unfortunately it's nothing new, Rangers are on damage limitation, saying it was people who don't normally follow the team. Same excuse which is given after trouble at orange parades up here. Why does this happen to Rangers/orange walks all the time though ? Rangers have a history of aggro when playing outside Scotland and showing zero respect for their hosts. This is a shame as it'll be used to paint all their supporters with the same brush. As I've said before, being a Celtic fan I sometimes see people disgracing our colours too but we don't have the same kind of numbers of violent losers following the team, more likely to be assholes with stupid tshirts connecting their religious hangups to sport. Anyways, Tommy Burns RIP and the Rangers fans paying tribute are the best form of damage limitation and a tribute to their club

now i know what manchester looked like after the bomb...

but my housemate was there in the afternoon and I think she felt pretty intimidated. Apparantly there were loads of people drunk by mid afternoon, and quite a few of them carrying crates of beer to no doubt carry on their drinking. She also said that people were just wandering in and out oxford road, completely obvlious of the traffic - and if anyone's ever been to manchester they'd know how busy oxford road can get! It seems like it was almost inevitable that there was going to be trouble. It's such a shame - isn't football supposed to be fun? And it feels even more out of order that they were behaving like that in another city which had only been hospitable towards them.

They did a pretty good job of cleaning up though - was in town today and I couldn't seen many signs of what had happened.

who gave the okay for the beer gardens and pubs to serve alcohol from 9am?

What fucking knobs :(

The video of the police officer disappearing into a crowd of them is unbelievable.

BAH!

thanks to all the drunk angry weegies

Where a total disgrace. I’m ashamed as a Rangers fan that was at the game last night and had a great day up until I heard there was trouble in the city centre.
We arrived early walked about the city, had some drinks and a good sing song with Rangers and Zenit fans all seemed well. Even after the game when we were leaving the stadium the fans were all together congratulating each other swapping scarfs and tops, not till I phoned my mate who got caught up in all the shit did I know anything was wrong.

I’m sick of sticking up for my club cause of some pure scum that bring shame on us when the spotlight is on, failing screens is no excuse these folk weren’t there for the game cause if they were they would of tried to watch it anywhere rather than fighting.

Love my team despise a minority of our so called fans, the sooner they are distanced from the club the better. I don’t know how we can distance ourselves from all this Loyalist Irish shit, we were started as a Scottish football club with no religious intent lets bring it back. Also just to say many of us had a great time and that is many, I don’t think I have ever seen a city so full of football fans.

That's absolutely disgraceful.

I need not have worried; it didn't even go into the city center and stopped in the middle of nowhere. I wandered around for a bit not knowing where I was until I spotted a bus that was heading roughly in the direction I needed to go.
