Shamelessly piggy-backing onto the genuine issues at the Champions League Final on Saturday another whinging Seville statement has come out of Ibrox. 

It takes a very creative mind to link the images and videos from Paris on Saturday with Billy the Bearsden Bear not being able to have a drink of water. If Billy had planned ahead he might have drunk additional water during the day when 42,000 bears invaded Seville. 

In Paris Liverpool fans with tickets for the game against Real Madrid were denied entry to the stadium with some attacked by Pepper Spray and CS Gas. 

Almost two weeks on from Aaron Ramsey missing a penalty no videos have surfaced of thirsty bears drinking from toilets. 

Today the Ibrox club stated: 

Last Friday, representatives of Eintracht Frankfurt, Rangers FC, and Football Supporters Europe (FSE) met to debrief and discuss several significant organisational issues during the recent UEFA Europa League final in Sevilla. 

These issues could easily have led to even more severe problems on the night and it was only thanks to the calmness and mutual respect of both sets of fans towards each other that there were not more severe injuries suffered. All three parties applaud the remarkable calmness of the two fan bases, given the situation they faced. 

Apart from the severe lack of food and – even more critically in the soaring temperatures – of water, there were several organisational problems around policing, body searches and beyond. Both clubs, as well as FSE, received a huge amount of complaints and witness statements from fans present in the stadium.

All three parties will now work jointly to report back to UEFA and the local public authorities in Spain, and will make recommendations to ensure these problems can never occur again at a European final. 

Fans spend a lot of effort, time and money following their teams all over Europe and expect to be treated with respect and dignity while attending football games. This expectation was not met at all at the Europa League final in Sevilla. 

Eintracht Frankfurt will match up again with Real Madrid in the 2022 Super Cup. In 1960 the 11th best team in Germany lost 7-3 to Real in the European Cup Final despite running up a 12-4 aggregate win over Rangers (IL) in the semi-final.

    Lol it’s good to see the zombies still upset all these weeks later.

    Quite surprised they have not teamed up Geldof and Co to promote Water Aid on the the TV.

    Mind you it could always add another sponsor on to their tops already splattered with sponsors this time make it Highland Spring water.
