Lies again re Barcelona 1972

[LOL 133]

I see the Glasgow Times is quoting an article in the Evening Times from 1972 claiming there was a riot and running battles on the streets of Barcelona in 1972 after the ECWC final.

I also see they claim the game wasnt played to a finish because of a field invasion.

The article finishes by inviting fans who were there to send in stories and pictures from their trip.

Ive attached the e mail address and hope some of our FF posters might like to set the record straight. We all know the club wont.

Do they say that Barcelona as a club personally invited us back to the Nou Camp only 2 years later ?

Why would they do that if our club and fans were so bad ?

 

[imvaison]

The sooner these publications die off the better.
Every day another snide attack on the only decent club in the top league.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Tell a lie often enough and the deluded will believe it as the truth.

 

[calderbear]

History is written by the victor so how are we allowing them to rewrite history?
Fortunately their rag will be history soon enough.

 

[WinkieWATP]

That “the game wasn’t finished“ is a classic mentally challengeds line.

 

[LOL 133]

That “the game wasn’t finished“ is a classic mentally challengeds line.

Its in the article written by Jim Blair back in 1972. Same as the lie about running battles in the streets. Have a look at the newspapers copied by Mark Dingwall.

If you have 10 minutes write to the e mail address Ive supplied. They're inviting us to do so.

 

[Bigbearsdad1]

I shall be sending an email unforming the boot that i hide her rag in shops and why not an enquiry about paedo fc ?

 

[BSPECIAL]

An article to annoy us again by lying bastards not even born at the time. Lies passed down from whoever is their dad at the time or who's horsing their maw. Don't take the bait.

 

[Johnny Yen]

The Glasgow Times is a 19th Century Terrorist comic.

Be careful what you send this bint this looks like a fishing expedition

I think its aimed at the general public rather than us. Its designed to demonise our fans and undermine our european triumph. They dont care if we read it or not. That's not the point of propaganda.

The Natzis didnt care if the Jews heard or read their propaganda.

 

[LOL 133]

Ive told her I was in Barcelona and there were no "running battles" in the streets before or after the game. The locals treated us as heroes for standing up to Franco's stormtroopers inside the ground.

I also told her the game was stopped for a field invasion but was restarted and played to a finish.

I told her the original article contained lies.

 

[TheRoofeIsOnFire]

The crash barriers have really ramped up this "game wasn't finished" patter since they were awarded the title last season. Almost as if they are trying to deflect from something that was not actually won.

 

[Commentator]

"Calling a Mr. David Graham, calling Mr. Graham. If you can hear this can you please return to your post, immediately".

 

[Timardim]

E mail sent asking if she'll print an article on the Lesbian lions victory when their first goal was offside with one of them standing on the touchline
The "Not interfering with play " rule wasn't introduced til later

Exactly.

Another mentally challenged rhag I'll raise a glass to when it dies.

 

[Tommyhlrsc]

See 5yr earlier, I'm absolutely certain that on the final whistle hundreds of mentally challengeds came on the park to celebrate their European win?

Two European finals, two victories for Scottish Clubs, two 'pitch invasions' .

Only one Club denigrated for the event?

Pitch invasions after big games were quite common in the 1960's and 1970's. The Scottish media only remembers one such event.

Was at both. Winning team's supporters run onto pitch as was the norm all over Europe at the time.

Got a nice reply. Seems Ann really doesnt understand the damage such articles do.

 

[Billy72]

Feel sad how our country has turned into a catholic republic .no surrender w.a.t.p

 

[monkey magic]

Ronnie Radford's goal sparked one of the greatest pitch invasions ever seen in football.

They are seriously deranged. You can't even go on to a Castore advert on social media but a few of these fucking mutants have got something to say.

They are a fucking cancer.

 

[Angus Og]

All Fascist dictatorships are deplored for their politics and violence, except for Franco's thugs' attacks on Rangers fans in '72.

It's noticeable that 19th Century Terrorist journalists of the time, (and now), ignored that Franco was in the mould of Hitler and Mussolini (amongst other fascist pigs), and they wrote gleeful stories of our hooliganism, while ignoring the blatant anti Protestant violence inflicted on ordinary Scotsmen.

Shame on Willie Waddell, a true Rangers great, for pandering to them.

 

[tazzabear]

Was it not the following year?

Joan Gamper Trophy

Just found out about this annual event that Barcelona hosted and invited Rangers after our treatment from Franco's overhanded police in the ECWC Final. The Catalans faced us in the Final of a 4 team tournament around 1974 i believe.. Has anyone have any info on this as i have never heard about...

1974, mate. Interestingly, the Barcelona founder was also a Protestant.

 

[sheddensbear]

Its all to do with social media nowadays. Any crackpot can come up with something outrageous and it soon becomes fact.
1972 ECWC match not completed. Socks to celebrate 19th Century Terrorist blood. Stolen water from church. Church of Scotland soup kitchens pre 1888 forcing RCs to convert.

To compete in their prestigious "Joan Gamper pre-season tournament".

I believe it was the first time an invite for such was extended to a non-Spanish team (although, I prepare to stand corrected on that).

We were the first British side to be invited, mate.

Rings true now that I’ve thought about it.
We wrecked the place but were invited back!
Only in the mind of Timmy scum.

The Catalans were very impressed by Bears giving it out to Franco's fascist thugs. Its also worth remembering that Franco was still in power when Barca invited us back in 1974. It was a massive GIRUY to Franco.

The Evening Tims is hating that the audience for FF and Heart and Hand continues to grow and monetise while their audiences dwindle and lose advertisers.

 

[tumsheeheed]

Should ask the poet mentalists about IRA man and commander of the 500 strong Irish brigade Eoin O’Duffy who fought for Franco,s Facists in the Spanish civil war incidentally they were that bad Franco had to send them back but sure they wouldn’t know too much about that side of history

Might be wrong here but don't think I am, Pretty sure at the time the Russians complained that the game wasn't completed because of a pitch invasion, Rangers offered to replay the match and was knocked back.

The game was played, I remember it like 4 mins extra felt like an hour,
Waddell said he would replay them, just a bit of sportsmanship

 

[Cutty/Young]

Rangers agreed to a replay of their famous European Cup-Winners Cup triumph 45 years ago after a pitch invasion, according to sensational new claims from Dynamo Moscow legend Anatoly Baidachny.
The Ibrox side lifted the 1972 trophy and became legends when they beat the Russian dark horses in Barcelona.
However, the 3-2 victory was marred by a mass pitch invasion and battles with the Spanish police leading to captain John Greig getting the trophy presented to him inside the Nou Camp.

The Russians protested about the pitch invasion to UEFA and demanded a replay of the Final, but the result stood after an enquiry, although Rangers were banned from European competition for two years, later reduced to one year.


But almost 45 years later to the day of the Final, Dynamo legend Baidachny, now 64, has claimed that Rangers accepted responsibility for the trouble, in an interview in a Russian publication.And they even agreed to play a replay of the game in Rome.


Baidachny, who later went on to manage Belarus and Dinamo Minsk, said: "We proposed a replay of the game, on October 3, 1972, in Rome."And the Scots agreed to it because they were going to lose a lot of money with their European ban.But as usual politics prevailed. UEFA couldn't be seen to let the Russians win.

"Everyone remembers what happened after the game, but people forget the Rangers fans invaded the pitch five times. They invaded the pitch for the first time at 1-0. Their fans all had mad eyes, it was a scary sight. They tried to set fire to the stadium. They fought with the police and there was casualties.

"When they ran onto the park at the end of the match, they tried to rip the shirts of us. I just ran until I got back to the dressing room.You have to remember back then everything was against the Russians. Our 'supporters' amounted to eight people from the Soviet Trade Company in the entire stadium, which was full of Scots. Our people were not allowed abroad.


One of our players, Aleksandr Makhovikov, was absolutely taken out by a Rangers player on the wing. No whistle. From that, Rangers went up and scored.We went home and no one came to meet us. We were forgotten. If you lost in the old Soviet Union you were regarded as an enemy of the people.


We did get some small financial reward for reaching the Final. It was enough to buy me a Grundig tape recorder."

Must be true

Well done. Ive had two replies to the 3 Ive sent her. She said she would remove the bit about the game not being played to a finish and she seemed genuinely shocked when I accused her of stirring up hatred against us.

Im thinking she isnt one of them, just naive.

So after trouble between Rangers fans and fascist police in Barcelona, Rangers agreed to replay the game in Rome, of all places?

I dont see any mention of the game not being completed. Have I missed it?
