Even as he was being put in the ambulance, with blood gushing from his face, he says that Rangers fans were attempting to punch and kick at him. His female colleague was being stamped on at the time and has spinal injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stamping on anyone is scum behaviour but honestly what goes through your mind to stamp on a random female. Hopefully they catch whoevers involved and get decent custodial sentences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has annoyed me. Well played. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Just think if we didn't have the authoritarian government we do now this would have probably been accepted. Was it 10k at the English cup final? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anything wrong with their request tbh. 10,000 a day over 4 days, seems entirely reasonable while the Scottish Cup final is played in front of zero fans. It is Rangers after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf asking for fans to gather inside the ground would certainly prevent them gathering outside. I'm sure the other fans who weren't part of the lucky 10,000 would all have just sit in the living rooms too, for some unknown reason, because some fans were getting in. It's a bizarre request to make, that has zero logic behind it and clearly wouldn't have been authorised considering clubs have barely been 1000 in their stadiums for well over 12 months. Rangers could do almost nothing to prevent fans gathering IMO, but this isn't proof they tried at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it would’ve stopped others turning up but the numbers would’ve been significantly reduced. I don’t think it was that bizarre a request when the restrictions preventing fans attending stadiums was due to cease a mere 48 hours after the game and it was requested on the back of the announcement that 12,000 fans would be attending Euro games. I think it at least shows Rangers attempted to look for solutions that would limit fans gathering, given that it is literally stated in Robertson’s email that was the reason for their request. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many others also laughed at the derisory number of 600 when it was originally thought fans could get in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbix Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Being so wedded to rigid application of the law that you can’t do the pragmatic thing isn’t great governance in any arena, management or government. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
