People in glass houses....
Scum to the core this is.......
I don't normally have a go at supporters of other clubs here, but after today's showing at Tynecastle I just have to mention the behaviour of the Rangers crowd.
What I heard and saw today was completely unacceptable and severe action should be taken against Rangers as a result.
I thought that they had clamped down on sectarian chanting there. Yeah right. I'm lucky if I heard more than a single song from that end of the ground that didn't involve something that could be construed as bigoted. In other words, it was business as usual when Rangers are in town. Barely a minute went by without us hearing references to the Pope, Irish politics and wars from more than 300 years ago. Where is the relevance?
To add to the normal repertoire of battle hymns from the blue hordes, we were also treated to the occasional Nazi salute from our Glaswegian friends. They also took a particular liking to Hearts' substitute Jose Goncalves, who was given the monkey noise treatment when he touched the ball near the corner flag at the Rangers end.
Craig Gordon seems to have some fans from Ibrox too, as we saw when a couple of missiles were aimed at him midway through the second half. Perhaps this is their way of encouraging Craig to sign for Celtic at the end of the season!
I'm no lover of the PC brigade, but this sort of stuff is sickening and should have no place in society, let alone football. Rangers should have the book thrown at them if they're not prepared to take serious action to eradicate this sort of rubbish. But they won't - we just know they won't. They've been getting away with it for years and will probably do so forever more.
I've said it before, but there's no way that Rangers will start banning their fans in bulk for singing sectarian songs. It just wouldn't make financial sense for them to do so - there are thousands of people singing these songs, not just a handful of 30 or 40. Don't let anyone kid you otherwise.
It's just a shame that other clubs in Scotland do not have the same sort of huge fanbase and power as Rangers, or indeed Celtic, whose away support have a similar problem that they are perenially in denial about. If that was the case then they could just ban these cretins from even coming to their grounds, which would make the afternoon infinitely more enjoyable for those of us who just want to watch the football.
As we walked back to the car today after the match, we were given some abuse from a couple of Burberry-clad Rangers fans, who decided that we were 'Embra jakies'! They were urinating into someone's front garden in the Murrayfield area at the time.
That just about says it all doesn't it.....
Now WHY hasnt there been any mention of thisScum of the highest order.....
