The spectre of racist abuse hangs over tonight's UEFA Cup Final. It would be awful if Rangers players suffered at the hands of these backward Slavic ogres. I know where my colours are nailed - come on Rangers! Do it for a world of tolerance and harmony where people of different backgrounds live together in understanding.

 

[oh shit]

good luck to the pope's o'rangers from all at the queen's celtic

Funny how the Guardian seems to have completely ignored the activities of Rangers fans travelling away in Europe. The entire population of Barcelona might find that a bit strange.

 

[oh shit]

yeooo

Zenit and their fans were excellent, the commentary from UTV was dire.
Well deserved win, also made me a score.

my favourite bit was the foo fighters song.

 

[Cormcolash]

My favourite bits were the six tolerant Rangers fans being arrested for stabbing an intolerant Zenit fan outside the stadium, and the other crowd of tolerant Rangers fans who started fighting with each other and the Police in one of the squares where a big T.V meant to be showing the match had failed.

But then obviously it was only a minority, again, and sure they only fought with the police because the organisation was "a shambles" and sure isn't that what you do then?

 

[Cormcolash]

P.S my other favourite bits were when Zenit scored two goals, and how one of the cameramen at the match just spent his entire time pointing his camera at a bunch of reasonably hot female Zenit fans jumping up and down in the front row.

Oh, hi Celtic fans. Russian football has one of the most sophisticated and organised right wing movements in european football. It is infinitely more ominous and threatening than the deep fried mars bar century old prejudices of the most successful worst team in European football. We all fucking hate Rangers and for good reason but let's keep things in perspective here.

The perspective so far seems to be that 6 Rangers fans stabbed 1 Zenit fan in the back whilst large crowds of other Rangers fans clashed with police during the game and trashed some stuff after the game.
So far I haven't heard any reports of the Zenit fans causing any trouble.

a few Zenit fans got on the pitch at the end but was no hassle.
i don't know much about Zenit but all in all there was only one black player on the pitch.
Rangers bring dangerous idiots where ever they go.

i love the UEFA cup; a chance to see other sides besides the usual lot, so i was pretty disappointed two sides i could feel nothing for got to the final. last years final was a cracker.

there was a spell of about twenty minutes in the second half were Rangers didn't even have an attack, near the end. the match was no surprise i expected them to be comfortably beaten and they were.

Get off my thread.

You hate hypocrisy.

Hypocrisy and consistency. I hate both equally.
