I think he lost it well before lockdown. Everyone has a lifespan at Rangers and we need to cash in before it becomes apparent Alfredo has run his course.

It's been apparent for months that Morelos needs to go. He's been great but if we're honest he's never been able to sustain it, whether because of suspensions or simple loss of form. In that respect he's no different from most of the team but the difference is his leaving can generate the funds we need to improve the squad, others can't. He simply must be sold and sold well, while the gloss is still on his Europa League stats.

I've said this before and I feel it needs repeating. There is a wonderful treasure here, a sustained record of institutional bias and conspiracy. However, the only people who see it are the 70-odd Gersnet members who log in every day and who are already aware of the corruption being exposed every week by @26th of foot. This really needs to be available to a wider audience than the converted regulars on Gersnet. Is there no way this could be carried in parallel on Twitter, Facebook or have a PQM blog set up? because, frankly and with the greatest respect to Gersnet, it's far too good to be wasted, hidden away here. There are huge numbers of people who are being denied a trusted source that routinely focusses on the cabal at PQ and who would benefit from reading this.

I suspect we actually need to find two new strikers, the most important requirement being to replace Morelos, who simply has to be sold if we're going to fund a better squad than last season.

I became a fascist and a racist when I objected to BLM attempts to re-write or cancel history and shout down free speech. The mainstream media tried to re-educate me that looting is a BLM entitlement and violence a black privilege but i was too far gone to be rehabilitated.

Don’t blame me, I assumed you knew to put petrol in it.

Why?

There’s no need to be petulant, this is a serious matter. All you have do is be truthful. Just admit you don’t actually know if they were Rangers fans.

No it’s just taking a reasonable view of someone accusing fellow Rangers fans of racism when he hasn’t a shred of proof that any of them were in fact Rangers fans. The truth is you jumped the gun in your headlong rush to appear virtuous and now you can’t admit your mistake for fear of your virtue being tarnished. It’s a bit of a mess you’ve created here.

I don’t know who they were and I’ve said so. You’re the one claiming to know their identity but can’t back it up when asked.

Well how about any evidence at all? So far you’ve got yourself in a lather about something you want to lay at the door of Rangers fans but can’t identify a single Rangers fan who is guilty of anything. It’s not good enough just to say “this is how I want it to be , so it must be like that and anyone who disagrees is wrong”. If you’re going to blame Rangers fans of racism at least have the decency of first knowing if it had anything to do with Rangers fans.

You’re missing the point. The message is much much less important than being seen to give and receive the message. Who would dare to be the first to stop kneeling In this age of ritual and hysterical conformity

I suspect actual racism is far less common and much less important than the ritualistic need to be seen publicly denouncing racism, especially if you’re black yourself. It’s certainly less common than being offended by racism.

Looks to me like you’re leaping to conclusions without a shred of evidence. You seem to know a lot about what was said and nothing at all about who said it. That’s usually the way with social media. Things are almost never what they seem but there’s never any shortage of people willing to believe it anyway. Mind you, if it’s any consolation, I don’t doubt there are Rangers fans who do the same to them.

No one is saying there were no Rangers fans involved. However, you’re the one saying there were so, who were they?

Not if they support some other club

But you’d be wrong

Has anyone actually reserved the right to racially abuse someone else or did you just make that up?

It’s an even sadder indictment when the genuine promotion of human decency is knowingly used by an anarchic organisation to win popular support that its own activities could never justify. Create a message that’s beyond dispute and hang it round your neck as an unassailable shield against all criticism. It’s clever but corrupt and every time a knee is taken to support the message it also lends profile and credibility to the monkey on its back.

There’s been plenty of that. It’s not enough to be against racism, you have to be seen to conform and endorse BLM, otherwise you’re in the same camp as 18th century slave traders. It’s no accident that such emphasis is placed on the required genuflection - if you bend your knee you’re one of us, if not you’re effectively a racist. There’s no ambiguity allowed, it’s black and white, your knee is bent or you’re left standing for everyone to see and condemn. You have to admit it suits a society where conformity is safety and where deviating from dogma is heresy. What better way could there be to exercise control?

It’s not The point I was making but if you think that’s a conclusion worth drawing from it then be my guest.

In that case the police will have been involved and we can expect prosecutions/convictions. But unless we know who the alleged racists were and their motivations, it’s impossible to draw conclusions.

“Plenty” being who exactly?
