Liverpool for example keep getting pitched into the CL even though that have not won the league since... [edit: insert facts: 1989/90, ie thirty years this season.]. So the fact they managed to win the sodding CL twice means it looks as if they are nearly as great as when they won it three times (?) in the 70s... Even apart from the fairness of it, it devalues the CL as I cant accept Liverpool as "Champions of Europe" when they are not even Champions of England. 7 minutes ago, ParisInAKilt said: Sadly this opinion will become more redundant with every passing season. Farcical when you think about it. And it got worse this year with the increased places for Europe's richest leagues. I had a look at the route ajax took last year, three qualifiers and they reached the semi finals. Three qualifiers again this year, we are talking ajax here a european institution when it comes to football. Clubs like spurs and liverpool are lucky simply because they play in a rich league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you, I and wee GS were all born the same year. Only one of us is chilled out relaxed and non confrontational. Years passing quickly, too quickly for my liking so enjoy and avoid disputes. Tennents bar too posh for me prefer Horseshoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U are warming to me at last Macy Bhoy. Braw lads of gala water. Maybe meet up for a pint in the gluepot? Recently in news as cheapest pub to buy in Scotland. 15 grand. It's my type of pub. Good atmosphere and plenty characters. I seem to fit in no problem 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiefaetheferry Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Huns now cited for racist behaviour (sectarian singing) in Warsaw. Statement released saying they are refusing tickets for their next European game. With any luck they will never have another European game due to an insolvency event.

Fairbairn Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Rangers have advised UEFA they won’t accept any tickets for the next away game. Effectively banning fans themselves. Also another very strongly worded statement on the website quite clearly allocating the blame to the Union Bears. Good to see them finally make a stand on this.

sbcmfc Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Just to be devils advocate, turning down an away allocation costs Rangers nothing and as a bonus absolves them of any responsibility for fans they know will travel anyway. Presumably in the hope that them taking action avoids a stadium closure, which at a conservative estimate (50,000 x £20) would cost them £1million. Still good to see them take action and speak out strongly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I've a feeling we won't go through tonight so that'll be a problem for next year! Edited August 29, 2019 by Fairbairn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debian Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 About time UEFA stood up and the kick in the shiter the club needed. Tonight though gives me the fear, the amount of morons who'll be pissed up and start or someone who is defiant. Positively, most (not all) of my Twitter timeline is full of people backing the sanctions and actions. I'd rather get our house in order and rid it of the muck songs and try and move on.
