Paper cup chucked at the psv players

Saw someone throw a cup in the club deck. It was empty so obviously wasn’t a problem but did they genuinely think they could get it to reach the pitch :D
 
The Sun reporting on it is relatively unimportant, if the UEFA observers mention it in their report we'll get a sizeable fine.
Anyone throwing ANYTHING onto the pitch, particularly in European games that are more highly scrutinised, needs their baws booted!
 
While I'm well aware it's not exactly a "missile", whoever threw it embarrasses the club and will cost us money. While I'm not looking for them to get grassed to the police, others in the Union Bears section must know who it was and the group could do worse than ban them from a couple of games and issue a statement saying internal action taken and the perpetrator will be back after time to reflect on their actions.

Try and turn it into a positive.
 
The paper trying to sensationalise it by calling it a missile. It was a paper cup and straw, come out of BF1. That being said stuff shouldn't be thrown at opposition players.

PSV players were targeted by a missile as they celebrated opening the scoring against Rangers in their Champions League play-off clash at Ibrox.

The Dutch side took a 36th minute lead when Ibrahim Sangare fired home to stun the Gers support.

The players congregated in front of the Union Bears section of the stadium in the Broomloan Stand as they lapped up the strike.

But pictures clearly show a cup with a straw in it flying through the air towards them as stunned Gers fans watch on.

The game ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw after a night of high drama at Ibrox.

But the missile incident came just hours after the Ibrox club had sent a warning to all fans to behave themselves at the crucial match as Gers bid to reach the elite group stages for the first time since 2010-11.

Rangers had said: "We are looking to create a Blue Sea of Ibrox and encourage supporters to wear the famous Royal Blue!

"Rangers are incredibly proud of the amazing atmosphere that our fans create at Ibrox and supporters are encouraged to exemplify the best of our support to cheer on the team on the cusp of returning to the Champions League group stages.

"This game has attracted an unprecedented level of media interest and thus, wider scrutiny.

"Please ensure that you represent our club in the correct manner and be mindful of previous incidents in Europe which led to sections of our stadium being closed."

Mate, you do realise this happens in a LOT of football matches every single week in every country?

I agree that ideally nothing should be thrown onto the pitch but watch literally any game from across the continent, when a goal goes in and celebrations happen in front of opposing fans, some fud will more often than not chuck a paper cup/something daft and harmless onto the pitch. Lets not start talking about this as if It's a "Rangers problem". It's hardly a bottle of Buckfast.

The issue here is the Scottish media trying to vilify our support over nothing, again.

Yep, I realise this happens at a lot of games but that doesn't make it right!
I don't for a second think this is only a "Rangers problem" but I'm old enough and wise enough to realise that if any club's going to get hammered by the authourities over fan behaviour, whether it's "missiles" being thrown onto the pitch, pyro in the stands or even singing songs that some may find offensive, it'll be Rangers.
Just screw the nut and don't give our detractors the ammo!
 
Not excusing the throwing of the paper cup, but Gary Taylor is the Sun journo behind this headline story, and seems to revel in OF related titbits. Guessing the Pulitzer Prize is not on his radar.

Rangers star Barisic writes 'No Surrender' as he breaks silence on Hibs game

RANGERS star Borna Barisic wrote Loyalist slogan ‘No Surrender’ on Instagram as he broke his silence on a dramatic night at Easter Road. Hibs stopper Ryan Porteous was given a straight red card for…

Essentially a bin raider, which is no mean feat going by Scottish tabloid sports journalistic standards.
 
I was going to post something flippant about this non-story then I read the cup had a fucking straw in it, who will shield the rest of Europe from this barbarism?
 
Hopefully said player can make a full recovery after a paper cup hut him, he’s very lucky. Very dangerous those paper cups…

But in all seriousness throwing things at players is stupid and needs cuts out, its scum behaviour.
 
So much hilarity, some arsehole when they scored in the SJ front, first goal decided to throw something, effin prick, smashed next to one of their fans lucky no damage done.
European nights at Ibrox hard to live with at times.
 
It was a paper cup on this occasion. I recall a thread on here after a Europa tie in the recent past when something more dangerous was thrown from the same area when the opposition scored - and the reaction on here certainly wasn’t as dismissive as some of the comments being posted tonight.
 
Paper cups with paper straws. Not sure how the psv fans will cope at feyenoord or Ajax now it's known the violent lengths our fans went to. They are bound to follow suit.
 
If the paper straw caught someone just right in the eye. That guy may have had a watery eye for 2 mins and that's a scary thought

They should be taken out into the centre circle at every home game for the rest of the season and have it done in public.

It was stupid but come on, it's barely even a story. If it happened, which it does all the time, at a music festival. It would not be mentioned anywhere

I agree, but we all know that it IS mentioned at Rangers games and we all know what the consequences are.
So why do it? Because the perpetrator does care a toss about you, me, the club or anyone else but his/herself.
 
Only way to deal with this is, find out what stand it was thrown from and demote all mygers fans to brass category just to be on the safe side…

A cup with a straw!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

Good point. The club needs to announce a policy whereby any fan found guilty of contributing to the action that got us the fine is responsible for a percentage of the penalty amount given. You could make it reasonable but also punitive enough to ban 99% of these incidents.

but still...
a paper cup??
really?

The club would have no chance of enforcing this.
 
Was it a full fat coke, diet or zero? My mate tried to get a full fat and they gave him a zero so it was probably him in his rage. Deserves the birch IMO. Well done The Sun for shining a light on this important issue.
