Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters

Greetings from Columbus, here’s the latest update. There was no beer or booze available for the Rangers Supporters Club because the police stepped in and banned it. They had the tent and the bar set up, and the crew was ready to go, but it just didn't happen.
As for how the police handled things, it looks like an internal affairs investigation—or whatever they call it these days—is about to kick off.
I’m assuming the catalyst for all this is the arrest of some local guy mentioned in the news; he apparently walked into a pub and asked the officers, "What do you want? Just leave people alone," and ended up taking a hit to the kidney for his trouble. He’s actually a former head of criminal investigations who somehow ended up being shoved into a paddy wagon.
Otherwise, the game itself and the overall atmosphere were a solid ten out of ten. The chanting and the typical fan banter meant the Rangers Supporters Club definitely held their own.
