'WellDel Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Bickering and blame between the club hierarchies aside, is the biggest red neck in all of this not simply that, in the year 2024, there is a need for safety netting separating these two tribes off utter scumbags anyway? And all just because of religious differences (faiths that 99% of them don't even bother their arse with nowadays anyway, just pure mindless bigotry). Deary me. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that because they can’t guarantee they’ll be playing at Ibrox by then? Or am I missing something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers have came out and said the works were going to be done ahead of the Ibrox fixture in January as agreed but that’s not required now.

Just seen the interview on Sky. He’s like a silly wee boy . It’s no wonder he’s not linked with any of the Premiership clubs in England anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can't guarantee the safety of fans - home or away - then they should be made to play the fixtures behind closed doors. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Surely that invalidates their ground certificate. Away supports are entitled to attend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Does the proposed away allocation involve Celtic fans having an area of Ibrox with Rangers fans in the tier above them? If so, I could understand the insistence on nets. Still pathetic that they're required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 11 hours ago, AJF said: Yeah, essentially that's part of the agreement for away allocations to return, that safety netting is erected at Ibrox and Celtic Park to prevent items being thrown. Not sure you've got that quite right. I'm pretty sure that the netting is to prevent the items that are always thrown, hitting their target(s). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 They built a safety net, so they built a bigger safety net. They made the world’s largest pizza so they refused to sell tickets for the away end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make the Glasgow Derby a spectacle worth watching for a change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie67 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 The short answer is Rangers are a financial mess . They don't even know which stadium they will be playing home games for the rest of the season . It's nonsense to even consider away fans allocation for at least this season until they can get their house in order . Celtic are 100% correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I notice we're on page 1872 of the Rangers thread and the chat remains as sensible as always - nets FFS! Just wait till we get to page 2012, maybe it will all be sensible by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think at some point it'll sink in that this is just theatre from both clubs to keep a "rivalry" going with there's a gulf on the park, and to help raise prices when they decide to end it, but both sets of fans have played along for years while the clubs work together to milk them dry, so probably not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no correlation to what he said. The poster you responded to probably hated Brendan 4 years ago and is now lapping up every word he says . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up on any real rivalry between the boards of each club when Rangers folded and Celtic majorly downed tools. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
