Can’t wait to see Rangers statement which will simply say “thanks”

as there’s no way they want their own fans in the stadium booing at them

So after an eternity the SFA finally decides that a fitting punishment to ra Selic n Sevco for the most unruly behaviour seen at a Scottish football match (at that point in the season) in over a decade is to ban their home fans for 1 match and a £100k payment to the opposing team.

Yet just a month earlier the suits in the SPL see fit to only tap ra Selic on the knuckles for their fans shambolic behaviour at Fir Park and Peadoland at the end of the season…where is the consistency, was one lesser than the others?

We all know that two tier justice is alive and kicking within the UK, but this just confirms loud and clear to every fan and every football club except the ugly sisters that two tier justice exists within the ivory towers of Scottish football officialdom.

When I put the fine we received for the Helsinki idiot against the Sevco n Selic fans it’s clear as mud…if you are anyone outside the chosen ones then you’re fecked. 😩

My final point on this as I am just sickened by it,  the flare display was final straw and proves they don't care about the club.  Folk must know who let the flares off. Certainly wouldn't expect them to grass them in but maybe just say to them.....stay away

I'm usuly not a grass but it was the guy in the balaclava.

Sounds like they want to be involved in special manoeuvres , fitba seems a bit tame.

Im not in charge but as soon as flares went off, I would turn water cannons on, 30 secs warning and if you're still in the way...splash.

Possibly why im not in charge. 

The water would really terrify the Celtic fans. That would be the ultimate sanction for those manky barstewards.

Totally disagree mate and I appreciate we all have different views. I do understand the issues that have happened but these are guys who bring atmosphere to the games and more importantly pay at the gate to come and watch us.
I am certainly not in the general age bracket of the bois (being an older gentleman) but it wasn’t long ago that part of the ground was empty and the atmosphere was non existent. The noise, the TIFOs the enthusiasm they bring has to remain in my view. because if it doesn’t the only noise you’ll hear is from the moany old bstrds like it was in the 80s. … and who take over these forums.
they are important to the players too, it’s the first place they celebrate.
If fines come, I agree there does have to be a systems where they contribute but to ban them, I’m very much in the no way bracket.

So your saying that because they pay at the gate and bring atmosphere to the ground that theyve got carte blanche to do what they want.

Further to what was said above, I think some people are too quick to view "the bois" as an organised, cohesive group that is singularly responsible for all of these infractions. The truth is that it's likely more complicated than that. 

It's like a media report saying that "Motherwell fans" chanted X, Y, or Z during a game. Which Motherwell fans? All Motherwell fans? Some Motherwell fans? And the classic insinuation that somehow there's a way that fans should be self-policing or something.

Bottom line is, if individuals break the rules, they should be dealt with. But dealt with as individuals. Unless there's a planned, coordinated incident, such as an offensive tifo that was put together by a single group or something along those lines, I wouldn't be too quick to condemn a certain group in particular.

Would the mass pyro displays at the start of the Freiburg away game and various other matches this season so far fall into that category?

The club officials can see who is responsible and so far seem to have taken no action, the fines so far add up to a serious chunk of change, for me sterner direct action is required as nice please dont statements from the club dont seem to be cutting it.

On this occasion its some Motherwell fans but everyone is being punished,  the ones doing it wont give a feck  because if we can't afford a certain player, that doesnt matter to them...theyre just in it for the theatre.
