Great to hear the public outrage today in media channels, radio etc after listening to various Rangers "knuckle draggers" contemptuously trying to "defend the indefensible". One guy actually came out with a self-righteous line that he "enjoyed himself" and "knew he was breaking the law"????? The outraged response from Joe Public was "aye, we would all like to enjoy ourselves" but we are complying with the rules to avoid the kinda COVID "spike" that this huge violation by 1000s of idiots could actually cause. Also these scenes rightly slammed by the Scot govt at lunch time and Rangers FC's reticence described as utterly disappointing by John Swinney esp when they were advised of their obligation and accountability re the possibility of this happening and how to "nip it in the bud" - two consultation meetings convened with RFC officials in Feb!! Therefore no excuses and Gerrard's recent defensive comments really drew a look of derision from Sweeney who briefly commented there will be further action to follow after the whole issue is debated tomorrow. If I had my way, I'd end their season now and be done with it - won the footie league, well done, season over, no more footie games. The applause from people across the country would be deafening esp if there was indeed a severe threat to the process of gradually lifting the lockdown due to the COVID figures starting to recede. Lastly, I just wanna add that Rangers actually have an identifiable "black history" when it comes to winning or losing trophies - it goes back decades and decades. I could reflect back to the joyful occasion when they won their only Euro trophy ever in 1972, the European Cup Winners Cup, and totally debased themselves in the riots of Barcelona preceded by their horrible behaviour in the city itself!! That incident was just one "black incident" of many from the 1960s onwards when horrible razor gangs were also associated with them!! Moving on to this century, the battle of Manchester in 2008, after losing a Euro final, was an utter disgrace but no surprise to many Scot footie observers when GRFC officials again remained reticent while officials of Glasgow City Council "stepped up to the plate" and apologised profusely to the City of Manchester and the Police who were badly affected by this mass riot by people who couldn't take a beating. Then we had another cup final, a domestic one, the Scot Cup final of 2016 v Hibs in which they lost in the dying secs of one of the the most dramatic cup final wins of this century and again "couldn't take it on the chin" and appreciate the enormity of a historical win for Hibs and their fans, many whom celebrated on the pitch while the "knuckle draggers" (some of the usual factions of scummy Rangers fans) couldn't just walk away in the same fashion that Hibs fans have done it in decades of witnessing many cup final defeats. As said previously, IT IS A COMMON THEME THAT "STICKS" TO THIS PARTICULAR TOXIC FOOTIE CLUB AND THIS LATEST DISGRACE CAN JUST BE ADDED TO THEIR LIST OF OFFENCES. Meanwhile, move up north to Perth and compare how St Johnstone and their fans reacted to their historic win of the Scot League Cup on the previous weekend - THE WORDS "NIGHT N DAY" COME TO MIND WHEN MAKING THAT COMPARISON!!
