Alarming rise in tensions ahead of Sunday’s game

277

One day this week Strathclyde Police officers will have visited Lennoxtown and Murray Park and reminded players and officials the consequences their actions can have before during and after Sundays Celtic-Rangers game.

Our streets are dangerous on these weekends, best avoided, always avoided by me.  You know it, I know it, people who have worked in the game for the last 40-odd years know it.

At a media conference at Ibrox today, Sandy Jardine said:

“Having gone round and met a lot of the supporters and people within the club, I think people are absolutely sick and tired of everybody having a kick at us when we’re down.

“Out of that, the supporters will take sanctions against clubs which we deem have been unfair to ourselves.

“I’m not going to go into the actual details but we will probably announce that after the meeting with the supporters clubs.

“Everybody is sick and tired of just accepting everything that everybody is throwing at us and it’s about starting to fight back.

“The size of our club and the size of our supporter base, it can be a powerful weapon.

“Everybody having a kick at us”.   “Supporters will take sanctions”.  “It’s about starting to fight back”.

Watch yourself at the weekend.  After the game, go home and stay there.  Talk about kicking and fighting three days before the game does not bode well.

  1. Ticketus added to boycott list?

     

    Does this now mean that Rangers fans have to boycott their own ground?

     

     

    I’m confused!

  2. Heading up to Aberdeen for 2 weeks offshore,have a ball on Sunday,hope someone sorts out elbows,back for the Hearts game,stay safe n happy

  3. Assuming the Rangers attendances will take a dip when they are in Div 3, do you think Queens Park fans will be offered the whole of the Broomloan, half of the old Enclosure and at least a third of the Club Deck for the Glasgow derby matches?

  4. South Of Tunis on

    When someone like Alistair Murdoch McCoist mouths off about believing in transparency ,I always assume that is the last thing he wants.

    James Forrest, you’re a bore, son.

     

     

    I stopped reading your posts long time ago. I see your name at the top and I know what’s coming: miles and miles of utter tedium …………..like a never-ending stretch of soulless tarmac.

     

     

    Have you ANY idea how dull you are ? Any idea at all ?

     

     

    Yawn, yawn, yawn.

     

     

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    The voice of reason,my friend in Celtic!

     

    Obviously,kissing the (ample) three cheeks of George Galloway’s (Five Letter Word,Irish Gaelic) can seriously damage your intellect…

     

    Kinda like an evil version of the Blarney Stone ?

     

    But surely…didn’t he shake Lennie’s hand that time at Lennoxtown ? Aye,but Oor Lennie thought he was just the wee guy come to read the gas meter…Right ? Right !

     

    Some interesting revelations about ‘The Ayatollah,s Mouthpiece ‘ in this weeks ‘New Statesman’ magazine…..a most perspicacious article by the ravishing Jemimah Khan,where she interviews the Member for Baghdad West… And the Cock crowed thrice…. Contain yourself,Virginia….!

     

     

    Laughin’

  6. So Sandy Jardine thinks everybody is trying to kick RFC when it’s down. Not the SFA. After finally having the balls to impose a fine and a 12 month transfer embargo they then BLOW IT big time with this ridiculous change of cheating scumbag, sorry, REFEREE for the old firm game.

     

    Craig Thomson unavailable? what, family reasons? that’s alright then – wan’t to give us a fair minded, technically good referee then SFA? NOT A CHANCE IN HELL – we get that nice incorruptable man, sorry, CHEATING SCUMBAG Calum Murray.

     

    NO WONDER TENSIONS ARE RUNNING HIGH

  7. Paul you are correct in sending out a message for our Bhoys and

     

    Ghirls to be careful on Sunday, the mindset of these people who will be visiting the holy ground, have been pre conditioned for some time now and have in the past few days been primed by people who should know better.

     

    I for one will be attending on Sunday I will take my usual route which will bring me into contact with them, directly,I will then return to the watering hole that I celebrate {win ,lose or draw } in, on the Southside of Glasgow , I simply refuse to alter my match day experience, which has given me great joy now for some 49 years for the sake of a moronic visiting horde on Sunday.

     

    Be safe and God Bless
