silverbear Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I just checked and you're correct. I'd suspect Lafferty's ban was more severe due to his cheating winning you the league. Certainly not excusing what he did, but I was at the game & pretty sure Bougherra got sent off in the first half too, so not sure where the "cheating winning you the league" comes into it. Besides the league being won over a season, Rangers won the league by 4pts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenfrewBlue Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Glad Fyvie is being punished as that type of blatant cheating needs to be eradicated from the game. Pity it will probably lead to Halliday only getting a yellow as he deserved the red IMO. Suppose in the long run there has been no damage done but what would have happened if it had led to Hibs winning? What should be done if cheating like that leads to the cheat winning? Say a dive for a penalty and red card? Should there be a more severe punishment available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddardStark Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 RANGERS believes it is appropriate at this time to remind everyone of the Club’s position on anti-social behaviour within football grounds. The Club operates a zero tolerance policy and continues to work tirelessly via the Follow with Pride campaign while supporting all initiatives aimed at tackling this problem. The football authorities and Police Scotland know the Club is committed to eradicating all forms of unacceptable behaviour and it is disappointing that a minority engaged in inappropriate singing during the match against Hibernian at Ibrox Stadium on Monday, December 28. At every home and away pre-match operations meeting unacceptable conduct is included on the agenda with the attention of both the Police and Stewards drawn to the need to deal with this matter robustly. The Club will assist Police Scotland in identifying those responsible for the unacceptable behaviour on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Lip service. With the extent of CCTV now it would be easy to identify serial offenders who sing these songs and start to hand out life bans. Nothing too extreme at first just enough to send out the message that it will not be tolerated, ban the worst 100, wait and then the next if it continues.... The club would not suffer neither as others would be happy to take up the vacant seats. How many bans would it take? A few hundred I would think. Thousand or two would still be a cheap deal for RFC to be free of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a way of making these bans work properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
