Issue between Barisic and fan after Kilmarnock game.

Well, that’s just smashing for morale ahead of the weekend, eh?

As angry and frustrated as I get with certain players for their failings, and I include Barisic in that, I wouldn’t make a point of hanging about after a game, almost families and kids waiting to see players, to hurl abuse.

It’s a privilege to have that access to players these days, an actual area set aside. I remember back in the 90’s you hoped to bump into players as they walked across from the school car park toward the Main Stand, or coming out the front doors long after the full time whistle had gone.
 
I'm pretty easy going during the game, if you have paid your money you are entitled to boo or tell them they are playing piss poor. but not hanging about outside and being a total dick with them.

There really is some poison in football these days. Players continually abused 24/7 on social media and now we have this.

There was a time when you could meet Rangers players at a player of the year do or even at the pub. That now seems a long time ago and it's a sad state of affairs.

I remember the excitement of meeting the odd non-squad player walking in to the front gates or something during the late 90s/00s. It was a million miles away from what it is now. Professional grifters demanding signatures, it’s a sad state of affairs.

There used to be a thing where we used to say Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger.

But I genuinely think nowadays a lot of players probably leave the club thinking our fans are complete idiots tbh.

There's being a demanding crowd and then there's actually hindering your own team.

Just a wider issue than moans and groans during the match, leaving with half an hour to go etc. Best fans in the world? Give me a break.

I will never understand why grown men (and not just this muppet) go to "support" the team and do stuff like this. It's the same in the stands, we all know the clowns I'm talking about, that do nothing but shout "you're shite" "Just fuk off" etc. We should be together as one and being united and not acting like drunken diks.

It shouldn't be hard for security to identify this so called fan and revoke his season ticket if he has one.

100% it's now made its way onto the red top papers. Clown has brought negative press to the club
 
The club will end up bining the way the players exit like that .alot of youngsters are gony be left disappointed because of some idiots within our support

I will never have an issue with a Rangers player giving it back to our support.

Some of the abuse they take justifies the reaction.

That type of behaviour has become too normalised at Ibrox.

Long ago I concluded that my ‘covenant’ is with the team and club as the behaviour of some of our ‘supporters’ actually makes me ashamed to be a member of the human race far less a Rangers fan. For example, the manner in which a fair number of our support treat stewards and even fellow fans at away games is, quite frankly, unforgivable and the poison posted on anti-social media gives little hope that anything will ever change.
 
The players will stop doing this soon due to cretins who can't behave. Kids will miss out on the chance to see the players close up.

Don't blame BB for his reaction to a walloper.

Probably one of the absolute bangers that try to make a living off the back of signed stuff.

There's a few about who think players should sign absolutely everything and anything.

Ringo Starr refuses to sign autographs as he found that within 10 minutes or so it was up on ebay.

That's the phone generation we live in unfortunately.

Some c--ts could see a car crash and their first instinct is to video the aftermath. Not phone plod or help out.

Technology and the access to social media has seriously ruined society.

The negativity and abuse that people have the freedom to post online has filtered to the stands at Ibrox. Ibrox was nowhere near as toxic when I got my season ticket as a 17 year old.

That’s just one of thousands of issues the mobile phone/social media obsession has caused, in my opinion.

It's entitlement, pure and simple.

The middle aged man thinks he's entitled to get things signed, then feels entitled to have a go at Butland and Borna.

In the stadium, too many fans think we're entitled to win off the back of "we are Rangers". Look at the stuff that's posted - if the team give us something to cheer about, we'll support them - entitlement.

People hide behind using the word "standards" and claim our players are expected to display a certain level of class, yet apparently don't feel it applies to them.

I don't blame social media, I blame people being entitled cunts.
 
I've seen the Butland video. He's already got his jacket off and in the car park area.

The supporter has clearly followed him with only the fence between them. Must have been giving Jack it pretty bad to get that reaction.
 
I think Barasic got heart size of a pea but would never abuse the guy .he’s probably a really nice guy. Real Rangers fan would never do what that guy done.

You are correct.

Last year, I saw a woman rushing to get off the bus because it was taking the wrong turning at a roundabout.

There's two buses that she could get at our bus stop. One goes straight through at the roundabout and the other goes right.

She was too engrossed in what was on her phone to look up and see the number of the bus when she got on. This is at 7:00 am.

Then there's grand kids at the dinner table. They're getting served their dinner and they're still on their phones. So that got put a stop to.

They're milder issues though.

I'm in an email circle, I'm hardly on these days and I'm on here. I don't do social media but I'm kept informed at times about what is happening.

It's not going to get better anytime soon.
 
The stupid prick (the fan) should read the room and maybe consider not being a self entitled arsehole. The players don’t need to take time out their day to stop at all for anyone.

We’ve just won 4-1 against a good Kilmarnock side, we’re going into a win or bust game, and he’s just pissed off someone that will likely start in that game if Ridvan isn’t 100% ready to rock n roll.

So you are more deserving than someone that's been in hospitality?

Surely if they are being polite and respectful then they have as much a right to ask as you.

Where did I say that?

If you come stoating out of hospitality heading to the underground and decide it’s funny to shout abuse at a player signing a kids top then you’re a bellend regardless of how much you spent to go the game.

This is it exactly, it's the same guys every other week just trying to get the players to sign tops that they can flog to us at inflated prices. Club should ban these grifters or just allow kids to the area that players pass if that's even possible.

Should just be for autographs on programmes or books or for getting pictures taken. Any shirt getting signed (even if it's kids getting them) still likely to get sold on FB. Don't want to see the players having to run the gauntlet at the end of the game.

Met him one time in Glasgow airport, and he couldn’t have been nicer. He was sitting having a coffee and I had a quick brief chat with him regarding the great semi final result against Celtic the previous day.

This guy in the crowd seems like a real idiot. Yes players can deserve criticism at times if they dont preform but not infront of kids and parents after a 4-1 win. Some of our support are complete idiots and entitled arseholes.
 
The guys in the crowd giving it to Butland and Barisic are fucking embarrassing and bring down the good name of Rangers.

Apart from it being ridiculously childish to have a fit because they didn’t sign stuff, it’s fucking pure Timmy porn.

We are supposed to be going into a game showing no fear and we’ve got videos circulating of our players getting into it with some fans.

Some people just need to wind their fucking necks in and stop trying to out-staunch each other.

It’s embarrassing.

Tim’s are revelling in this stuff man, they are all like excitable wee bitches with all this right now. Fucking excruciating.

Yep - none of this helps in the lead up to an OF game.

It'll make the daft mutant think again? It will teach people that their actions have consequences? It will make Borna feel better, because he's a human being like anyone else?

So if during a game a fan gives him a bit from the stands, Borna is justified to jump into the crowd to confront them?

The “fan” is clearly a fucking idiot and is rightly being scrutinised but Barisic should know better than to dignify people like that with a response particularly a physical one.

It wasn't exactly clear what you meant
Just people came out hospitality and the fan zone.

I get what you mean now.

Huge, huge difference between shouting from the stand, and abusing the guy outside the stadium on his free time when he's there signing tops for kids. As I've said already, if the guy is big enough to dish it out, he's big enough to take it. Vast majority of the support are in agreement with this.

Players are human the same as the rest of us. There’s only so much someone can take before they flip the lid. Do we know what has been said to BB for him to act like that, do we know maybe that he hasn’t got some personal or family issues behind closed doors that’s maybe troubling him. We all have our limits. Just cause they are footballers doesn’t make them less human than the rest of us

If a player isn’t preforming, then yeah let them know while on the pitch (within reason) but to stand and abuse a player coming out of a game we won 4-1 in, taking time to sign stuff for kids and families is well out of order.

I’ve met many players throughout the years and if you treat them with respect they will treat you with respect back.

This last year I’ve got my eyes open with a few Rangers fans and just their sense of entitlement from ticket allocations, abusing players etc. We slag them about their support but there’s a few with us that aren’t much better

Hope the supporter gets named and shamed. Some absolute cunts in our support that seem to think they can abuse players left right and centre and expect players to just take.

Look at the reaction to Silva celebration , far too many want to give it out but can't take it when it's giving back

Fans like that just need to fxxk off.

Cantona had the right idea.

Yeah ive seen the video too and clearly JB is about to get into his car to head home/off for the day. He'll have done his signings as he's left the stadium but someone has clearly chosen to ask for a signature only to be rebuffed. The players could stand all day signing stuff. Comes a point when they just want to get away from their place of work and head home.
