aweebluesoandso 290 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) If an example is not made of one of the known Rangers haters soon by banning them, it will be Craig Whyte's first mistake. Mr White has got of to a good start in most of the supporters book by getting rid of some of the old guard, he must now show that the new regime will not tolerate any of our detractors nonsense. If he wants to continue to keep the support on side then show us he is not just another owner who will roll over and take the lies and propaganda without any retaliation, make an example of Spiers and he will have the full backing of the support and show that he does in fact mean business.

Aye this one is an open goal for Whyte. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear54 0 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Don't think we should be banning anyone. Maybe don't need to seat them in a prime position, but not ban them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carmylebear Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We don't need to ban anyone right now a simple warning note to all editors advising them of what will happen if any of their rags print damaging articles then we sit back and watch what happens. Hammer the first one that steps out of line the rest will all take note. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Disagree. We've been allowing it to go on for far too long and they have no doubt ignored warnings before. Set out our stall now by taking a hard line and they will drop the bs. A polite warning will do f.a initially so why waste our time with it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carmylebear Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 You, like me are entitled to your opinion but sometimes as a new owner of any businessit is better not to dive in right away especially if the people the warning is aimed at know the type of individual they are dealing with. What we can most certainly agree on is it must stop and stop now. Don't really care how it is achieved just as long as the job is done. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 It can be argued that banning them makes martyrs of them. Perhaps we take a different approach. Don't allow them on the team plane for European games, don't answer their questions at press conferences and allocate them a different section at Ibrox for watching the games. Rather than being at the front of the main stand, we will allocate them some seats at the back of the Club Deck, where they don't get their HT pie and bovril. Journalists have egos and this would hit them harder than being banned. They will be humiliated rather than claiming hero status, which they could if they were banned. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly how I'd approach it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I dont understand the martyr argument. What will banning them lead to? Them writing negative stories about us? And that's differnet to now how? At least if they're banned the club aren't slapping the fans in the face by giving complimentary seats and access to the club we would die to have to these some arseholes who denigrate us at every opportunity. The martyr argument seems to me to be a weak line to hide behind to justify no action at all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
