| Comment | Fair play to you in being open to a discussion on this. I live near-ish Ibrox and don’t support any football team.
You’re right that this behaviour is just a segment of the fan base - plenty of my pals who support Rangers were posting pics of them having a great celebration in their garden yesterday - but this segment is unbelievably destructive.
I’d suggest that the clubs (Celtic too) make a concerted effort to identify these people and ban them from the stadiums but I imagine that the majority there yesterday don’t pay for a season ticket and just see it as an excuse to get out and cause havoc.
A stronger condemnation from the fans in general (again on both sides) would go some way - as soon as anything like the sectarian chants start up its self-policed by the fans telling them to wrap it. I’ve seen a lot of folk who weren’t there still defending what happened - if everyone whether fan or not came out and condemned what is objectively horrendous behaviour and didn’t try to blame the police, the government or Pollokshields it would be easier to see a road out of this mess. But they’re not. Thuggery, violence and destruction is being defended by large numbers and there are attempts to pass the blame. |
