Sturgeon, How do you like our redacted statements?
Good statement from the club.
Absolutely nailed it.Whilst I agree that it's a decent statement I think the Club and the Police could have done more by interacting with the fan groups. This is a fanbase that took 250,000 to Manchester. They will not, and should not be expected to stay at home and celebrate. However alternatives to the march could have been proposed. For example a fan zone could have been set up in Bellahouston Park and the fans could have had a short march to there from the Stadium. Marching into the City Centre on a Saturday afternoon will result in carnage. Keeping it localised in a park keeps it within our own community and reduces risk and inconvenience to the general public. Just an idea.
Our own community, PUL it is
No they wont. Theres going to be tens of thousands of Rangers fans in the town. Police Scotland didnt have the resources to get waded into the crowd the last time nevermind this time. If they did not only would they be overwhelmed the city would have a proper riot on its hands unlike the guff spouted last timeSaturday has carnage written all over it, the police will handle it very differently to how they did in March, they got a lot of criticism for not wading into Rangers fans, this will see a very approach on Saturday sadly....
What should and what will happen are two entirely different things and we know what angle they're coming from.Rangers have covered their bases by issuing a statement,the council and polis should/should've come up with an alternative but they won't,they want trouble so they can apportion blame. Sit back and watch all the back slapping from Sunday's demo compared to ours on Saturday.Whilst I agree that it's a decent statement I think the Club and the Police could have done more by interacting with the fan groups.

Agreed. Authorities have known since March what was going to happen and have made no effort to accommodate or compromise.What should and what will happen are two entirely different things and we know what angle they're coming from.Rangers have covered their bases by issuing a statement,the council and polis should/should've come up with an alternative but they won't,they want trouble so they can apportion blame.

Preparing for what? Do you think theyre drafting in a bunch of Robocops from the continent ready for a rammy like? Theyll stand back and do %^*& all and try and direct us into the concentrated areas in and around George Square.And this is exactly what I mean by it will be carnage, If you think the police are not preparing behind the scenes then not much I can add
"The city would have a proper riot on its hands" - Yip that's exactly what we want the scenes to be after collecting our 55th title
Of course it understandable fans want to meet up but anyone who genuinely believes they are going along on Saturday and the police are not going to be heavy handed is kidding themselves on I'm afraid, it will be our image that suffers again but hey ho...
They don't want to accommodate or compromise they're just sick it's the wrong team.Agreed. Authorities have known since March what was going to happen and have made no effort to accommodate or compromise.

The only person kidding themselves on here is you mate, it would be suicidal for the police to be heavy handed on saturday
Don't be daftAnd this is exactly what I mean by it will be carnage, If you think the police are not preparing behind the scenes then not much I can add

You are correct. The polis will be preparing. If they are preparing for confrontation they will get it. If they are preparing to manage a party then they'll all get paid overtime to watch us sing and dance.And this is exactly what I mean by it will be carnage, If you think the police are not preparing behind the scenes then not much I can add

Not the clubs responsibility. Agree that PS and GCC should have interacted with fan groups and an area set up as you suggest. Whilst George Sq is symbolic etc it isnt big enough for the numbers amd an area in Bellahouston Park would have been acceptable. All bears partying together and the city centre left to shoppers. However they havent so phuck themWhilst I agree that it's a decent statement I think the Club and the Police could have done more by interacting with the fan groups.
