Media spins false narrative ignoring Ibrox thuggery inside and outside stadium | OneFootball

Mainstream Media spin in full effect, they can’t be allowed to deflect from the Ibrox thuggery inside and outside their stadium…

First things first, and that is congratulations to Celtic who battled to a well deserved victory with a depleted side at Ibrox to advance to the Scottish Cup semi finals, after winning a pulsating game via a penalty shootout.

Celtic’s reward is a Scottish Cup semi-final against St Mirren at Hampden next month and a chance for some payback for the Premier Sports Cup final we through away under Wilfried Nancy.

The dramatic conclusion to yesterday intriguing cup-tie however has been overshadowed by the disturbing scenes witnessed at the end created by the home supporters, who couldn’t handle the victorious celebrations by the large away support in the Free Broomloan.

After they scored their fans spilled onto the park to celebrate, only for VAR to notice the blatant handball and disallow the effort. Nice try though. Then when Celtic got the decisive goal in the penalty shoot-out some Celtic fans also spilled onto the park to celebrate their backs to the wall victory.

Then the Rangers ultras charged from the opposite end of Ibrox across the field looking for a violent confrontation with the Celtic support and several Celtic players were attacked and one coach was assaulted on the ground before being rescued. Meanwhile the Rangers fans fired pyrotechnics into the Broomloan Road stand where the Celtic supporter was located. One of these missiles was thrown back on from the Celtic stand towards the Rangers fans looking for trouble.

When they started the charge, they were literally unchallenged by police and stewards as they advanced towards the jubilant Celtic supporters, some of whom where on the pitch celebrating with the victorious Celtic players.

The thuggish neds kicked and pushed their way through many stewards before taking aim at the Celtic supporters, with many flares being aimed at a stand full of men women and children. That’s seriously deranged and dangerous behaviour, and should be punishable to the maximum extent possible.

But what we have seen since the incident is a biased case of reporting from the Scottish mainstream media with all of them pushing the narrative ‘that both are as bad as each other’.

Listen, it’s not surprising from the toe the line Scottish media fraternity, but we all seen what was happening in real time, the entirety of the country watched it or have subsequently seen what happened on news bulletins or on social media. How on earth can the SMSM think they can gaslight us into believing otherwise?

Yes, the Celtic supporters were present on the pitch, but to do nothing more than celebrate a dramatic victory. The home support invaded for the sole purpose of causing trouble, that’s not an opinion, that’s a fact.

Much is being made about the damage done to the Broomloan Road stand and the vile stickers or graffiti mocking the Ibrox Disaster. That is to be condemned but the same fans who ran on the park looking for trouble displayed a huge banner just last weekend defaming Jock Stein who was out on the pitch at Ibrox in January 1971 helping the injured Rangers supporters at the Ibrox Disaster.

These images below are the away section at Celtic Park at the start of the year after the Rangers game. The damage there is just as bad as anything seen yesterday.

The infamous riot in the 1980 Scottish cup final, and the slightly smaller scale one in the 2016 final, as well as today all have the same demeaning factor. The Ibrox side were on the losing side on every single occasion, go figure.

The worst incident by far yesterday afternoon happened on Helen Street after the game when a Celtic supporters bus was attacked and a Celtic supporters was isolated with thugs stamping his head and kicking him repeatedly while he was lying helpless on the ground.  Here’s the video that should be top Police Scotland’s top priority.
