Rangers in Barca (ATK, please don't read)
Some say Rangers and Celtic are just as bad as each other, but honestly they're not.

PLEASE, DON'T EVER COME BACK AGAIN

Dear Rangers supporters- never come back to Barcelona again. And not because your players themselves aren't a legitimate team. No, it's not because of that- the Nou Camp frequently hosts teams who are lazy, boring, who only defend, who run and kick their opponents, and who shouldn't be in elite competition. On top of this, Rangers merely defend, run at the opposition and play dirty. Their defenders are butchers, their midfielders, heavy-footed; and their strikers just stand there like the furniture.

But even apart from the footballing aspect, the best thing would be for Rangers never to return to Barcelona, because every time they do, they make a mess of the place. 35 years ago, you (the Rangers supporters) destroyed the seats at the Nou Camp. This time we have enjoyed no less than 48 hours of brawls, provocation, rackets, fights and common drunk women throughout the whole city, which you have fouled however you pleased.

Stay at home and vomit in your own living-room, urinate in your sitting-room corners, fight with your neighbours, the Celtic supporters (who deserve a prize just for putting up with you) and foul the streets of Glasgow instead. Don't come back here again, because it is not a laughing matter. And, by extension, don't play in the Champions' League either. You are not at that level neither in a sporting nor human sense.

There are noisy groups of supporters who, although they drink vast amounts of beer, make friends at the same time. But you? Not you, because everywhere you go, you turn into a rubbish tip. You are undesirables. And so are those who fraudulently sell, or "rent out" their tickets. These people screw Barca over, because they trade their season tickets illegally. And in doing this they cause massive annoyance for other members of the club. A true Barcelona fan would not re-sell their ticket for the match. If you are not going to the match, give it to a family member, or you could even use the 'Seient Lliure' service (an automated ticket service used by some Spanish clubs including Barcelona).

From now on, the responsibility lies with UEFA and the club itself to ensure who the ticket is sold to. The best thing for all of us would be that you as a supporter, in a moment of lucidity, decide not to travel if you do not have tickets. As that is never going to happen, those who sell the tickets illegally must be brought to justice. But the best thing would be if we never had to play Rangers again.

Re: Rangers in Barca (ATK, please don't read)
I get fed up of the whole rangers/celtic (more so celtic) shite in the media about how great they are and how they have got thousands in the home ends. Hold on, if this was any other clubs they would be berated for it but its ok for the happy care free scots??
They are just as bad, if not worse, than other clubs and I am glad its come out somewhere.

Me too. It will be a big step backwards if this pair are ever allowed in our league. Not sure if its still in operation, but certainly up till a year or two ago Rangers had a self imposed ban on playing friendlies in England because they can't trust their own fans.

it cant be in operation now as celtic played chelsea before last season and rangers before this one. There was apparently a lot of trouble at the celtic one.

Before everyone jumps on the bandwagon, there was anywhere from 15,000 -20,000 Rangers fans in Barcelona and have a guess how many were arrested?

None.

But don't let the facts get in the way.

Just a normal night in Belfast.

That post another website doesn't mean it did either.

What did he say "brawls, fights, provocation and common drunk women".
Fuck me, people have got drunk while away in Europe watching their team. They may have even been fights, hardly earth shattering news.

He didn't mention the so-called Ultras throwing missiles at Rangers fans all through the game while the police stood by and watched.

One person posts his opinion on a website and all of a sudden it's a fact - fuck me, what fucking short memories some of us have.

Re: Rangers in Barca (ATK, please don't read)
I am more remarking about the 20,000 fans over there. The same happens with Celtic. Any English club goes and takes more fans or gets tickets in the home end and there is a media outcry. The scots do it and all we get is the "lovable celtic fans". Its a load of media bullshit.

I don't remember any media outcry in February when we had thousands in their end. If anything the opposite was true. Our behaviour was praised.

Re: Rangers in Barca (ATK, please don't read)
Despite what has been said in Barcelona, both Rangers and Celtic have given us support over the Justice for the 96 campaign, made banners, and made donations to the fund, so i dont think we as Liverpool fans can be to critical of them, from a personal point of view.

I enjoyed reading that. Fuck Rangers and Celtic the anti-sematic lunatics. Anyone who bases football support on their views on the "imaginary sky wizard" (c) Strontium Dog, absolutely sucks.

Re: Rangers in Barca (ATK, please don't read)
The local press in Barcelona and the Police praised the behaviour of Liverpool fans. There was an article which was translated and posted on of our sites (I think RAWK) although I wouldn't bet my life on it.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying Rangers fans are angels, they're not. But how anyone from Barcelona has got the cheek to talk about the behaviour of opposition fans when there's hundreds of pickpockets from their city dipping as many people as possible is fucking mind boggling.

Ok, will take your word for it on the "praise". Me being cynical again.

Good shout about the pickpockets.

My point was more of a general one and got caught up in this.
