I don't recall any huns getting booed when we played Scotland last year.

2 of my mates were over for that too. They got the tickets in that uefa lottery thing and were in the rangers end! They were drinking with rangers supporters all day and night and had a great time with them!

 

(theyre not rangers fans themselves, but do hate celtic!)

 

They actually didn’t know how bad the riots were until the next day on the tv, and were surprised as they didn’t think it was that bad on the day!

 

Have another mate who supported rangers as a kid. Wasn’t to wind up anyone, just because they were winning and were good to watch I’d guess (time with mcccoist,hateley,etc). He always wore his rangers jersey on the green in the estate playing football without anyone saying anything to him! (must admit I enjoyed watching rangers that time too – theyd a great battle with leeds in Europe then too!!)

do they support ireland as well?

Brian Kerr is a Rangers fan as was his father and grandfather.  3 recent Irish Internationals Ritchie Sadlier, Alan Maybury and a 3rd who hasn't gone public are/were Rangers fans. 

I know quite a few Rangers fans in the Republic and they are as serious as your average Man United or Liverpool fan eg 1 home game every couple of seasons and watch the games on tv. 

I know of one of our regular aways fans under Jack who also followed Rangers everywhere at the time incl numerous european aways.  Haven't seen him at any of our games recently.

I know of a family of season ticket holders in the Aviva who went to Ibrox at least once this season and do follow Rangers - father went a bit more often before he had the kids.  

A former colleague goes to most home games and went to Japan(his only aways afaik although he could well be in Poland) and went to quite a few Rangers games.

Just because Rangers fans don't feel the need to show their British club allegiances at RoI games doesn't mean they don't exist. 

Spare me the anti Irish rubbish.  Rangers fans are anti Celtic (I wonder why Big smile) not anti Irish.


Dont see how any Irish fan could sit in a s tand and listen to people sl*g our biggest loss of life ever.


Exactly what I was thinking. To sit in Ibrox and mock the biggest disaster ever to happen to our country and how you are "up to your knees in Fenian blood"? No thanks

i do think thats pathetic seeing as the irish fans have a good name abroad to boo rangers players.ffs when the irish fans booed claudio reyna he wasnt even a rangers player anymore.i remember watching it on tv and george hamilton even commenting that he doesnt even play for rangers now.even hamilton was disappointed in the booing.
I think it was a misty day and ireland lost 2-1 to the US that day AFAIK

sure sections of the celtic brigade of our fans are so stupid they continually booed two differant peter lovenkrands when we played denmark in a friendly. the PA wrongly announced lovenkrands coming on as a sub and the wrong player was still booed anyway. when lovenkrands did eventually come on both were booed. embarrasing and pathetic really

Jb, when the PA anouncer made his correction, that it was Peter Madsen and not Peter Lovenkrands that came on, he was cheered every time he touched the ball. Selective memory you have and you also didn't ackonowledge my previous post that no rangers players were booed when we played Scotland last year.

the gist of the story is correct. in fact i dont think that it was until the PA made the correction that he got any cheer.
 
pat on the back for non booing of scotland rangers players. probably the first time in years this happened at lansdowne, if it did.

In fairness, there was a lot of Ireland "fans" at that game who never been to a Ireland match before or since.

Bit of a knob


Not sure if he posts on here but one of our regular away fans in the past and was a big Galway United fan is a Rangers fan and he is certainly not a knob.   
The fella i know didn't support Galway united or got o Ireland away games so I dont think your thinking of the same personConfused...

Anyway this fella only supported Rangers purely for the wind up and attention, So i don't know if he could be really described as a true fan.

You need to brush up on your knowledge Embarrassed I can stay here all day and post up fact after fact , link after link if you want.




Do you not remember Rangers no signing Catholics policy? Now don't tell me that wasn't just a cover up to not sign Irish players , a club who has openly adopted "No Surrender" , Rangers in total haven't had more than 8 Irish players on their books in their history etc etc yet another clueless post from a person who knows f**k all about Scottish football!

Plenty of Rangers fans kicked up over the signing of Alan Smith "the fenian" so iv'e seen him called.

Thankfully there hasn't been any booing of Rangers players in recent years.  Arveladze in 2003 is the last I can recall. 

The Denamrk 2002 was particularly embarrassing becasue I'd arranged tickets for a group of Danish coilleagues and their families and we endured a moron in a top of a certain British club calling Madsen a "dirty proddie" among others. 

The moronic bigots who booed him and the real Rangers players can't have been big Celtic fans anyway as he looked totally different to Lovenkrands and he had scored twice v Celtic not long before that.

I think all opposition players should be booed. Would create a good intimidating atmosphere

I have no time for booing players , i really don't like it.

But seeing as we're all Irish fans is booing Paul Green and Paul McShane not worse than the odd "Celtic fan" booing an ex or current Rangers player if there happens to be one on the opposing team?

never heard either being booed.
 
it was never an "odd" celtic fan booing rangers players. in fact a load of northen celtic fans turned up to the match last year against the north with the sole purpose of abusing the norths players. was unfortunately right beside them
