glasgow sheep Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ers/6510947.stm Rangers' fans groups are to launch a new 'self-policing' initiative in a bid to eradicate sectarian behaviour. The aim is to review behaviour at away games with a brief to 'isolate and shame' those who fail to comply. The club recently attracted heavy criticism following the conduct of fans at the Uefa Cup tie with Osasuna. A statement read: "We are agreed that the strongest possible action should be taken against people who continue to indulge in sectarian behaviour." Following a meeting this week, Sir David Murray, chairman of Rangers, chief executive Martin Bain and supporters' organisations agreed a joint venture to try and stamp out the problem. "This kind of behaviour will simply result in a doomsday scenario for the Club and the vast majority of fans," added the statement. "It is clear to everyone that the future of fan behaviour lies in the fans' own hands and real improvement in fan behaviour will work best through self-policing. "This, of course, will be done in addition to the stringent policing and stewarding measures already enforced by the club and the police." The measures promised by the club and supporters' organisations include: # Supporters groups to issue anti-sectarian guidance to all supporters clubs# Anti-sectarian messages to be featured on all possible websites including Follow Follow fanzine# Supporters groups and the club to urge fans not to travel to away matches without officially endorsed tickets# The club will undertake a major review of the Rangers Travel Club operations# Supporters to inform fans on songs and chants that 'do Rangers proud'# Code of conduct to be produced by supporters for supporters# Players to deliver anti-sectarian messages to supporters' clubs Link to comment

Guest El Padre Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Anti-sectarian messages to be featured on all possible websites including Follow Follow fanzine The same Fanzine who currently have an ongoing discussion about who to vote for, the main thrust of the discussion being that they can't vote for Labour, or SNP because they're 'infested with Roman catholics' Link to comment
