[Blue 9]

Unfortunately nothing we do or say has any bearing on Scottish football , we are treated with utter contempt and no one pays any attention to our views.
We have be neutered as a force .

 

[laud55]

We should certainly be asking for the audio of Nicky/Willie to be made public.

 

[strathavenbear]

We've tried it twice with Collum and he's still involved in our games.

I want to see Rangers call it as we see it. If Phil is sanctioned by the SFA or SPFL, then so be it, but at least it becomes a major talking point. Scottish football has a profound problem with compromised refs where Celtc are concerned. The current situation cannot continue. That much is clear.

 

[The Sentinal]

The current PLC board at CFC needs to removed before Scottish football can heal.

They are the ones who ensured we got triple relegated to the depths of Scottish football so they could hoover up the CL cash and consolidate their wealth.

Now we are in a situation where their influence is so great that, even when they look like losing, their refereeing fraternity will pull out the stops to ensure their heroes remain on top

 

[possilbear2]

Do you honestly believe that anyone at Rangers has the Balls to call it out about c****c.

We have to just talk up and this time stay with the issue as, just what is the point otherwise? We gave in way too easy with the Collum Parkhead farce!

All people want is for Refs to make decisions based on fairness and the rules but, they are clearly thinking, " If I make this decison against Celtic will I have to deal with abuse and threats to my family & myself, abuse from Rodgers & Celtic & a trial by media all week"?

Scottish football cannot go on with them continuing to abuse the rules in this way and having players being given carte blanche to breach the rules and nothing happens and on the odd occassion something does happen, all hell breaks loose just because a Ref has dared to do their job! That's just cheating!

If Rangers choose to remain to stay silent, while being cheated out of titles and trophies due to compromised refs, then what is the point of even trying to compete, mate. ? The boil needs to be lanced.

I 100% agree with you.Rangers should call it out I just Don't think they will.The scum and their media friends have been getting away with shite for years now.they openly call out refs nothing is said or done.ffs we know there is an old firm just around the corner we all all know sutton and the rest will be out harping about VAR,Refs making the right calls etc.It happen every time a big game comes around.While people at Rangers sit and twiddle their thumbs

 

[captcaveman]

Do you honestly believe that anyone at Rangers has the Balls to call it out about c****c.

Do you think we will be "allowed "to win a cup final against Celtic if we manage to get past Hearts today? The fact I'm even asking this question is the very reason why its a must why we must stand up and be counted and show some backbone and call out it out.

 

[Blueranger45]

it will be the same where I say to non-fans of us or them, "look at that" and then you get back "you get just as much as they do from refs"

we'll end up getting in trouble for it if we do rather than anything being done about it

As I've already said.I don't think Rangers will.I 100% think they should

We are pathetic then and might as well just chuck it as we will continue to treated differently again and again and again!

 

[KJ_Rozental]

The only way to make any real change in the game is to get the backing of the majority of other member clubs.

Maybe we should do a charm offensive for the next season and tell Dundee Utd to let bygones be bygones, sure the fans would love that.

 

[steniebear]

The club has let us down here again

However, the fans need to do more if the club wont.

We need to make Collum, Clancy etc dread coming to Ibrox as the fans are never off the case. A tifo about the cheats would help but we need , for 90 mins make their life hell. Its the biggest weapon we have

 

[TQ3]

I would say it is the opposite OP. Rangers are the last ones to be taken notice of. We complained about the disgusting referring in the last game at theirs and we were told to shut up, and we wouldn’t get to hear the VAR. Then look at Aberdeen this week, they get a full premier with popcorn over their VAR query. Every other club in the country seems to get a call on the Monday morning after a controversial decision to apologise from the head of refs, we get hee haw, but “aye, but yous done this 3 years ago, so you cannae complain.”
We are playing against a loaded dice!

 

[Class of 72]

Once you realise the powers that be running Scottish football don’t want competition of any kind, involving Celtic, it all makes sense.

 

[Neild79]

I would agree with that. EVERY supporter that uses social media must start constantly posting the gifs of their dubious decisions and questioning why Refs are terrified of them and we also should do the same with the decisions we dont get and question why Refs have made a different decison for us or why we havent got a penalty etc. Question everything!

 

[possilbear2]

I long for the day when someone at Rangers Says fvck it and really let's rip at the Bastards

Someone from the club has got to stick up for the club.No one gives a fcvk about what the fans say.its got to be someone in power at Ibrox

Yep we've pretty much taken out fill of this dignified silence pish.
Someone in power at Ibrox has to do something.

This is true, however the sad reality is that the majority of other member clubs fans do not care about anything except getting it up the Rangers and do not allow their clubs to give us the required off-field support to challenge the SPFL / SFA / Celtic led cabal.

Exactly, clubs would rather play to their fanbase and go against anything that we try to push such as independent review into Doncaster's governance. Turkeys voting for Christmas.

Is the point everyone needs to absorb.

Instead of pointlessly complaining, our energies would be far better spent focusing on how we go about removing the wrong uns who've weaseled themselves into the positions of authority in the game.

I'll start......murdo macLennan.

 

[Hurricane Run]

We arent capable of doing anything on our own. Change can only happen through collaboration. The hope is Bisgrove is more politically capable behind the scenes than his predecessors. We need to be making moves and building alliances with Aberdeen, Hibs, Hearts etc. Regardless of how 'un-staunch' it may be.

Its the only way.

Shitebags on the park, shitebags off it. We'll do nothing.

 

[muttley]

If other clubs want to allow the endemic cheating by compromised refs to continue, fine, then we should allow them to be done over. I just want Rangers to put refs under pressure before games, especially the upcoming game at the piggery. Just publicly remark at press conferences on the bizarre statistic of 14 years without a penalty at Parkhead, make a joke by asking if we'll have yet another goal disallowed, as seems to be the fault setting from refs when we play Celtc. Lead the media narrative for a change.

That's not going to happen.

The Scottish cup game against Hibs saw their players go tonto as they were too wound up about facing us and one even got himself deliberately sent off but not one Hibs fan bothered. They complained about sectarian singing whilst Michael Stewart tried to claim the ref was wrong in commentary.
Then the Hibs board came out with some silly statement about reducing away fans because of naughty songs.


There's no way alliances can be made with the likes of that.

100 percent agree.But we won’t.

 

[Robert1872]

one of the main problems are the managers, and fans tbh, change the minds on a weekly basis if it was a foul or not depending if its went for or against them. So you always have one manager saying it was a good decision by the officials with thousands of fans on social media all saying the same. Yet the same thing can happen 2 months later and the manager and all the fans will argue the against the same thing they said a couple of months previous.

If we get a decision for us then why dont we come out and agree with the other manager that it was baffling and agree it shouldn’t have been given, if everyone was consistent with there views across the board then there would be more pressure applied to the refs and training to get things right. At the moment it just looked like sour grapes as its only a problem when it effects your team.

 

[Thornliebank_Bear]

Id guess we have more fans that support, defend and make excuses for referees(bullshit) than any other club. That puts our board in an almost impossible position..... before you even start to think of how exactly you change what has happened to refereeing since 2012 and how to get rid of the attitude that refs are here to assist and help Celtic in just about every situation possible.

 

[Hurricane Run]

It doesnt necesarily need to be Hibs if they cant be dealt with. You just need a majority. I only mentioned those 3 specifically because they carry the most clout and were the driving force behind the deloitte review - suggesting they do want change.

 

[KJ_Rozental]

That would be the member clubs that cant stand us!

Exactly. It's all moot.

 

[superallys_lovechild]

You only have to look at the different narratives from the two clubs to see how this works. Celtic, rightly have a man sent off at Hearts and BR is calling the refs/ officials out left, right and centre and putting a ton of pressure on them straight after the game. We just idly sit by and maintain a dignified silence, which gets us less than nowhere. Bottom line, they know the importance of it and have the guts for a fight and know the benefit of having a brass neck. We simply don’t have either.

 

[captcaveman]

They also collectively think we get more penalties from Refs than any other club! which is a barefaced lie.

 

[Albertz30]

The Cheating , or decisions going for the Bheasts is embarrassing , as much as i hate the Sheep , they have every right to be disgusted.

 

[stevieblue80]

Haha , our board will be told to be quiet and sit back down , like they were at the collum incident.
So expect nothing from our board , which is sad as everyone can see what’s going on.

And therein lies the problem.

We live in a country that is, on so many levels, both politically and religiously divided that means positive collaboration never happens. Unfortunately, that divisiveness and hatred spills its way into the sporting arena.

Agree with the sentiment of your post, but it'll never happen.

Rangers have probably the least influence of all the clubs. Not one club will ever back us when it comes to the crunch. Impossible to do it on our own we need the other 10 clubs to back us!

 

[Blues and Royals]

I said yesterday the club need to publicly call out the cheating and cowardice of the match officials and also Celtic for their never ending intimidation. There is endless amounts of evidence to be aired on these subjects that a lawyer could explain in easy and eloquent terms.
Why do we sit back and constantly say nothing that is now undermining our history ? We must be the only business in existence that allows our brand to be deliberately harmed in this fashion.

 

[captcaveman]

We can keep calling out consistently though at the very least! Just say something Rangers and don't back down even if it means we get fined for the comments because at least that will make the headlines and put focus on the dubious decisions.

Other clubs don’t care because they never win anything anyway, so they don’t see themselves as being cheated out of anything.

 

[Grizzlybear]

the problem is they have undue influence over the footballing authorities here.

many of the senior people working there having connections to dermot desmond, as some have posted details about in the past.

as a result, they dont care what we think, or our feelings. Look at the fiasco with the covid season that ended early.

they were absolutely desperate to finish that early, to the point they cheated a democratic vote to get their way. which team was that to benefit, it certainly wasn't us.

 

[Anoldranger]
