As for the rest of your post....personally, I don't give two hoots what The Rangers might or might not tell their fans ahead of games and I'd rather we had no aspirations to operate or conduct ourselves the way they do in any way, shape or form.
well im hardly going to call them Gypsy gentlemen.
Right, well any rivalry across the world, you do not hear any teams asking their fans to 'be nice'
The Northern Constabulary don't know how to manage a big crowd (As shown v Celtic/Rangers) and don't know what to do.
so they have decided we cannot use a word that actually county fans don't care about being called, just like we don't care about being called tinks.
The whole thing has been blown out of proportion by some jumped up jobsworth who decided they had nothing else to do with their time.
Can you imagine telling any other football supporter around the world that the police are trying to halt you calling your rivals a gypsy ****** because it 'Could' offend others?
