Martin O'Neill wants the away fans allocation restored at Ibrox and Parkhead

Brick_Top said:
Hopefully the day never returns where our stadium is polluted by thousands of them and their bile, however if such a time comes and they get 7.5k seats in the Broomloan, we must demand 9k in an equally prominent spot behind one of their goals.

Fûck access restrictions and segregation concerns. If they get 15% of our stadium in a prime location behind a goal, we want 15% of theirs in a prime location behind a goal.

Let the scum take the hit on the loss of seats and the additional security issues due to increased segregation.

On that premise alone, there won’t ever be a return to how it used to be anyway.

here here, personally I think the old firm needs the huge away supports, at both grounds. it’s that chaotic back and forth that makes this game the best there is. that EXTRA edge created by two humongous supports going at each other. obviously we have season tickets in these places now etc so that’s a problem and I wouldn’t WANT to see Rangers fans displaced, of course, but I also don’t want to see small away fans allocations at old firm.

rock - hard place.
 
I'm wary about this one. I wouldn't put it past the spfl to do their bidding and try to apply a rule to suit them. Difficult to do given our season tickets, but if it can be done, it will.
 
I personally don't want any amount of mutants at Ibrox, lets get rid of the 800 in the corner and have our own fans in the stadium full stop. It's quite clearly affecting and bothering them now and I don't give any flying fecks about them, we are the Rangers the greatest of all.
 
Celtic get a full stand and a higher percentage of fans at Ibrox. They throw flares onto the pitch, have their players run into the crowd and have fans run trackside.

We get less of a percentage and are tucked into a corner, less able to impact the game. Our players can get nowhere near us, are manhandled by two rows of stewards. Players like Diouf were threatened with arrest if they went near the crowd, whilst their players can waltz in and out.

Hardly a fair deal is it?
 
A fairer way to allocate OF tickets, is to give fans from each team an equal percentage of the seating capacity of each stadium.

The old situation advantaged the bheasts because Ibrox has a smaller seating capacity than parkhead, therefore 6000 opposition fans will obviously have more of a psychological impact at the former than an equal number of opposition fans at the latter.

The very fact they are all greetin about getting it back, tells you all you need to know.

It is 100 percent an advantage that have at Ibrox, that ain't reciprocated in their rancid flea pit.

They should NEVER ever see the Broomie again.

Nothing surer! The filth support and the filth mhedia...including the Shite bags in it who went along with the filth mhedia rabble’s Rangers = bad narrative for decades and the evils of the OLD FIRM rivalry despicably using the O F tag to tar us when Rangers had won again and it was the filth support who were the one’s who couldn’t behave themselves...it was so obvious what these b@stards were doing and it came to be so predictable to MOST Rangers fans so regarding that issue I was and still am delighted the club took the decision to severely limit their numbers and benefit of more Rangers fans inside Ibrox is just fantastic.

I totally understand the bears who travel and run RSCs wanting to see Rangers winning at the piggery but sadly if you haven’t seen that already it’s probably gone now forever in the foggy mists of time, unless you are one of the 800 or so but hey I would love to stand on terracings again with thousands of bears all roaring and singing and experience the unique atmosphere standing with your mates and family but those days are gone too so we just have to move on and anyway nobody can say things aren’t for the better now as the majority of Rangers supporters are quite happy with the situation.

Maybe the filth brigade who are now very sad and missing the IRAoke and assortment of pish that comes out of the sellick support’s mouths will regret the organised campaign of incessant demonisation of our club and culture which they gleefully ran with for decades as I genuinely believe that aspect came into our club’s thinking in helping to make the decision they ultimately made and guess what it? It was the correct decision and it’s been good for US! What that mob want and what they think really doesn’t matter anymore, we look after ourselves...bye bye now Timmy there’s plenty of slop houses for yous to watch the game in with diddly dee garbage to your heart’s content.
 
Call it 'racialism' on my part, but I want a Union Flag re-installed in his front garden, just to keep Geraldine awake at night.

Looks like we're both going to be disappointed, Marty boy.
 
I’ll be honest less sellik fans does make the atmosphere a bit muted, but, I don’t care.
I don’t want numbers anywhere near Ibrox, 800 is more than enough. Utter scum.
 
We look after our own first and foremost. We can sell season tickets for the Broomloan so why should we exclude these fans from games against them? It isn’t sensible.

Also if the atmosphere is a bit muted not a bad thing. Only way we reconsider is if get equal prominence at Giro dome.

another poster said we’d have 9000 at theirs. 15%.
 
My thoughts is we vet them and only let in the good people of septic park...
that way we will only have to give them a couple of seats and a copper in the middle
incase they start spitting on each other.. :shh:
 
Robert Marshall said:
No, it's not and I'm glad about with that Cup Final result
But in the early seventies when we did not have massive traveling support our RSC used to share buses, why can't they do that and organise pickups on way to the matches?

oh trust me we have too!!!!!

And what about our ST holders in the Broomie?
If we got 2500 at Parkhead fans who never got one would want it raised to 3500 and on and on
I have had a SB/ST since 1971 but never got a ticket in the Ballot for Manchester 08, I never complained about it because that was the allocation and I was not picked
Such is Life

compared to 800 this is a blessing

as for manchester , I got one...............a wee thank you for attending from Zeta away onwards I guess :)
( all TC members got one, then onto season ticket holders)

He wants the allocations restored because having a reduced away presence has affected them far more so than us. Current arrangement suits us just fine.

they beat us 2-0 once with 800 scum

Gerrard tactics and formation that day was to blame

Once . It’s been one of our boards greatest decisions and has already reaped its rewards . Happier fan base, more season tickets sold, better results , less abuse of our players and fans in our own home . There’s nothing to discuss at all except whether to now ban them altogether or continue with the 800.
 
Anyone who is genuinely upset that they can't give £50+ of their hard earned to the bheasts so that they can stand behind a pillar in their death trap hovel of a stadium is off their nut. I can't believe that we're still having this conversation, and I can't believe that there are folk who would hand these reptiles their obvious advantage back at Ibrox while evicting Rangers supporters from their seats.

The only reason this is still being brought up by the likes of that cretin O'Neill is because they are wildly upset at not having the advantage at Ibrox they used to have.

MARTIN O'NEILL has pleaded with Celtic and Rangers to bring back proper away crowds in Old Firm fixtures for next season.

The former Hoops gaffer believes the derby is a game unlike any other in the world.

However, the Northern Irishman admits the crunch match does not feel the same with limited away supporters for the games - which has been the case for two seasons prior to this year's Covid shutout.

Of course the highly-anticipated derbies haven't been the same in the 20/21 season due to having no fans in grounds at all in line with the Government's coronavirus restrictions.

The 63-year-old now wants to see the pair bury their hatchet over the situation ahead of the new campaign and agree to restore sizable away allocations.

Speaking to the Press Box podcast: "That WB Yeats quote about 'a terrible beauty is born' I think sums up the fixture.

"There is nothing like Celtic v Rangers with a full stadium. There is something there that other derby games just don't have.

"I think of the Manchester derby, which I've played in, or Liverpool-Everton, or Liverpool-Manchester United, and I still don't think there is anything to compare with the Old Firm.

"I was up at the game recently at Celtic Park behind closed doors and there was obviously no atmosphere because of the pandemic.

"I'm hoping that, when the fans do come back to football, that Celtic and Rangers can agree that they can have their quota of [away] fans back again.

"When I was there, and you went to Ibrox, you felt you had some company, that you weren't alone when you saw the Celtic fans. And I'm sure Rangers felt exactly the same when they could fill one end of Celtic Park.

"There is the cauldron of it, there is religion in there, you can throw everything into the mix. You can use all sorts of adjectives to describe these games but there is something magical about them.

"There is an intensity that just does not exist anywhere else."

Another thing for O'Neill to choke on over his breakfast toast.

As far as I'm concerned, this rancid bastard was the main instigator in relations between the two clubs deteriorating even further in the early 2000's.

Between him and Lennon, these two whipped up that club and their supporters through their own bigotry and intolerance of others, as ably demonstrated by his player losing the rag at Ibrox, being roundly mocked and then marched up towards the filth fans to be portrayed as the ever suffering victim.

Perhaps O'Neill shoud consider the part he played in the eventual reduction of the filths numbers at Ibrox, the next time he's having a hard time trying to digest that mouthful of wholemeal toast, when reminiscing about his failures ........

Was at that game him and the lurgan bigot walked from the halfway line up to tgfitw,giving fist pumps and clenched fists,not one steward or member of the Glasgow police approached them ,months later a friend of mine a hibee( ,father had lot to do with southern counties football)
Said to me,that should have been stopped before it happened and SFA SPL should have penalised or warned them,did they?did they fhuck,us doing the huddle at their cesspit capitalised in a fine if I remember,that was the start of the San giro getting turned into an Irish theme park only thing missing were leprechauns,that last bit from a Celtic mate of mine not a rhabid!

Celtic had decades of tucking the Rangers support away in a corner, while getting an entire stand behind the goal at Ibrox - they can %^*& off.

Games at Ibrox regularly saw their supporters jumping over and on to the track, as well as their players leaving the pitch to go and celebrate with their fans.

There was a complete imbalance in the allocation and positioning of the away fans at these games between the grounds and I’m delighted that Rangers finally took action.

Recent games saw a flare thrown at Wes Foderingham and flash firework thrown into the Rangers section which included kids.

They were out of control and have been dealt with appropriately although I’d ban them outright.

You have a point but sadly your last 2 words old firm sum it up ,THEY dont recognise it as OF it's a Glasgow Derby hope it never goes back to the old way!
 
Them having as many in as they did and where they were located gave our home advantage a massive blow before the game would even start, whereas you'd never, ever even seen our fans on camera at Saville-dome.
 
Lets be honest being in the away end at sharkheid is a brilliant atmosphere and you're lying I'd you said you didnt miss that but I'd much rather a full Ibrox of bears and them not taking our full stand any day.
