It's Time To Stop Puting Bricks in Our Enemies' Gloves

[Zappa 0]

It's no secret to Rangers fans these days that our club has enemies literally intent on destroying it. While using the word 'enemy' to describe our bitter rivals might seem excessive to some people, it doesn't seem so to me and it doesn't seem so for many other Rangers fans who see our club being attacked week after week and year after year.

 

The word 'rivals' is a thing of the past, a thing of the 20th century. This is the 21st century and it seems that gone are the days of two heavyweights fighting fairly with legal gloves and everything above board. It seems that gone are the days of pugilism where the referees are respected and their decision is final. Gone are the days of the governing body of the sport having ultimate power and being respected despite their failings. The gloves are off.

 

Unfortunately our enemy took their gloves off first and a good number of years ago at that. They've now managed to land some crushing blows with their bare-fisted uppercuts (see the definition of 'underhand tactics') and they've undoubtedly thrown 'sporting integrity' out of the window for good despite their regular use of the term. Referees are now frequently accused of bias by Celtic and recent weeks have seen our governing body accused of the same, but this is all part of an ongoing and wider campaign.

 

It's taken what seems like a long time for our club and fans to realise (or certainly admit) that this campaign exists despite many people along the way being fully aware of what was going on around us and in some cases actually trying to point it out, but it might just have finally clicked en masse that this isn't a sparring match. Even the club are now accepting that it's all out war with our CEO recently making official statements regarding the concerted campaign against Rangers.

 

When I say 'all out war' I'm not referring to these recent parcel bomb threats. Very few people in this world condone terrorism, although our enemy has a fairly large number of terrorism supporters in their midst. No, this war is a war of words, a war of right and wrong and a war about fairness and equality. It's a war that's being fought in a very special politically influenced ring called the media and the ropes don't meet regulation standards, so it's time for the ropes to be changed in accordance with the unwritten rules of REAL sporting integrity.

 

A few dirty blows below the belt and sneaky uppercuts that catch your opponent off guard don't win a fight because a strong fighter who doesn't surrender will keep getting up and at some point he'll fight back. In the meantime, box clever and don't put any bricks in our enemies' gloves tomorrow.

Hear Hear!! If ever there's been a time to be the Rangers' 12th man, it's tomorrow...this bear will roar his team on from start to finish.

We have much to be proud of...time to show it!

 

We love the Rangers!
