  1. Now is not the time to back off, we must use all available ways of putting pressure on the ****s.
  2. RST Statement on Old Firm Violence 3rd February 2015 The Rangers Supporters Trust (RST) is extremely concerned at some of the incidents surrounding the Old Firm game at the weekend. We spoke last week about our fears that certain elements in the Celtic support were using the internet to raise sectarian tension ahead of the fixture. Sadly our concerns appear to have been well founded. First of all, we would like an explanation of how the Green Brigade were once again allowed to bring an offensive, sectarian banner into the game? This group has previous for openly supporting Irish Republican terrorism, disrupting Remembrance Day, and overt sectarian behaviour. If a Rangers fan group consistently disgraced our club with offensive, sectarian banners, we would expect the club to take decisive action. Not only does Celtic Football Club tolerate the Green Brigade, they encourage them and facilitate their displays. The use of the term “Hun” on the banner in question, despite some apologists in Scottish politics and the media playing down its significance, is clearly sectarian. Its origins in Northern Ireland are well known. All anti sectarian charities acknowledge that it is a sectarian term. We will not accept it as 'banter'. Furthermore, the use of the term “monkeys” to describe Rangers fans on another Green Brigade banner has clear parallels with historic racist language. The purpose of the terms used by the Green Brigade - “monkeys” and “huns” - is to dehumanise Rangers fans. In addition to the Green Brigade, we highlighted the likes of Phil MacGiollabhain, Angela Haggerty and others using dehumanising language online ahead of the fixture. Rangers fans are described regularly as “the klan”, references are made to “Stalag Sevco” and “fascists”. Again the clear purpose is to characterise Rangers fans as less than human or liken them to the worst elements of humanity – in other words, fair game for the hard of thinking who the writers seek to, and in some cases successfully, influence. The effect of this is clear. A ten year old Rangers fan bottled by Celtic fans who forced their way onto a Rangers supporters’ bus. Another Rangers fan assaulted outside a pub by Celtic fans and hospitalised with possible brain damage. Nacho Novo once again threatened online. Curiously, instead of accurate media reporting, we see some outlets refer to the perpetrators as “rival fans”. It is quite clear that a minority of morons in the Celtic support are listening to, and acting on, the bile churned out by MacGiollabhain, Haggerty and the Green Brigade. Instead of ineffective legislation which produces inconsistent and at times bizarre outcomes, the Scottish government should be educating the next generation of Old Firm fans on why sectarianism is not acceptable. In addition, they should be clamping down on the online hate campaign waged by certain individuals and dealing with the type of organised, premeditated sectarianism perpetrated by groups like the Green Brigade. The overwhelming majority of Old Firm fans, and indeed all Scottish football fans, are decent people who love their club. They are often targeted for disgraceful treatment and demonised whilst the real culprits are ignored. We thank the Celtic fan who started a collection for the young Rangers fan attacked at the weekend. We hope his club and the police will start to take the actions of online hate-mongers and the disgraceful, sectarian Green Brigade seriously and belatedly deal with them. - See more at: https://www.therst.co.uk/news/rst-statement-on-old-firm-violence/#sthash.JOxr8LGc.dpuf
  3. SoS reporting that the Rangers do not know how much these guys will cost us and that they were hawked round Engkish clubs first with no takers. Ashley still to let club know cost!
  4. We are light years behind them in every way, on and off the park.
  5. Mate is moving house. Gave me a bundle, late 1960's to early 90's. Mostly just Scottish league & cup games but some European e.g. Bayern Munich, Moscow Dynamo, Zurich, Newcastle, Bilbao etc. etc. Anyone wants them, let me know.
  6. Anyone collect them?
  7. I must be missing something here. Who has been insulted and by whom ? Handbags?
  8. CONFIRMED PLAYERS - NOT SIGNED AS YET!!!!! Facundo Ferreyra - ST Haris Vuckic - LM Curtis Good - CB Remie Streete - RB Gael Bigirimana - CM Kevin Mbabu - RB
  9. I had a wee look at the CV's earlier today. Some IMO on paper were excellent others I'm afraid very very poor, it make me wonder what those who did not get selected to stand were like.
  10. The club decided who would vote, the club decided who would pick those that could stand for election. If you have someone in this case a minister deciding who can stand then it's not an election in my book.
  11. These people have no principles, they are blazer chasers. We have all met their type during our time.
  12. The candidates were hand picked were they not? In all my critisisms of RFB you are exempt, I know why you stood for selection/election.
  13. Not all RFB were aware of the meeting!!!! Only 3 members of RFB were able to attend, one reason being "a request of confidentiality by Rangers board members". What does that mean? They don't trust some of their hand picked RFB members?
  14. And I thought it would not be successful
  15. Now almost 80,000 shares donated to RST, with more to come.
  16. Nope, I do not have these icons.
  17. Contact them through members section on RST website. You could also pm Plgsarmy on here.
  18. Why buy the Sun?
  19. Although not a supporter of RF I agree that option 2 seems the fairer option.
  20. I assume that if using an iPad just ignore whatever it was that was said earlier?
  21. I wish I knew what all that means. Technophobe loyal.
  22. So some members of RFB did not respond to the email asking for a vote of no confidence(or otherwise), that is incredible. Are these people aware of what is happening at our club?
