Rangers ripped apart over flimsy John Brown defence as 49ers fairytale exposed on Hotline
Rangers have vowed to back John Brown to the hilt after the SFA hit the Ibrox club with a notice of complaint for Bomber's corruption ref rant. But rival fans hit back on the Hotline and insist the Light Blues deserve to be in hot water for the comment. Brown blasted the decision to chalk off a ghost goal at Easter Road at 'corrupt' and some callers reckon the legend is lucky not to end up in court never mind getting a Hampden rap. Eddie Easson, Ballingry, said: 'The hard done by are at it again with Bomber Brown statement. Just to refresh their memories when Brendan Rodgers spoke up about a certain referee he was hauled before the beaks within days.' John J. Scott, Port Glasgow, said: 'Congratulations to Rangers for a marvellous piece of misdirection regarding Brown's comments. ' Rangers saying the goal should have stood is correct. Their claim that it was a bad decision was also correct. 'Brown did not make that claim – he said it was a corrupt decision and that makes it defamation. This is why his employer is being charged for his behaviour while working for them. Also saying other people have done worse things is not a good defence.' But Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, said: 'Brown – despite freedom of speech laws – says that this was corrupt and he gets charged by the SFA. I am a fan of honest fair play and am saying the SFA are clearly corrupt by charging Brown for a very honest assessment regarding a clearly good goal that was disallowed.' Elsewhere, Rangers fans are excited about their American revolution. But Glen Mitchell emailed: 'When will the followers of the Ibrox Club get real on this 49ers money fantasy? There is no 49ers money, it was a syndicate outwith the 49ers that took them over. 'The 49ers themselves have little interest in a failing, minor soccer club based in Scotland. Their whole identity as a global franchise shares nothing with the Ibrox Club's identity. It's not rocket science to find all this out.' Oh well. Meanwhile Celtic's Nicolas Kuhn is attracting interest. And Stephen Mulhern, Dumbarton, said: 'If RB Leipzig are ready to offer £15m for Kuhn, Celtic should bite their hand off. It seemed to me his mind was elsewhere towards the latter part of the season. 'And if Celtic can succeed in bringing in a Swedish international in Benjamin Nygren, I can't remember a player from that country being a failure at Celtic. I certainly remember the best ever, whose name is part of Celtic history.' Craig Campbell, Tollcross, said: 'Celtic should cash in on Kuhn. He spent the second half of the season looking like he was in a huff. He is worth a lot more than £15m though.' Finally, the FIFA Cup World Cup is off to a flier with German big guns Bayern Munich involved in a 10 goal thriller with plucky amateurs Auckland City. It was just a shame the Bavarians scored all 10 of them… Gary Stevenson, Newtonhill, said: 'With Auckland City taking part in the Club World Cup , I have to question the qualifying standard. Next year we will have Slovan Bratislava and Dinamo Zagreb involved.' Ah, we see what he did there.
