der Berliner 3,276 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Oh goody, yet another self-appointed moral guardian who shall lead us all down the path of righteousness. Noting people who need to live out their religious or political bias has hardly anything to do with playing the moral guardian or whatever other rubbish is posted in the above quote. These chaps live in their very own intolerant mindset - which is hardly up to debate on either side of the Old Firm divide - and you would have hoped that in this day and age our support has grown above that. Still, we have to live with the fact that Rangers cannot handpick their support, the support makes their own choices - whether they come from the top of society or sleep below the bridges - in many ways than just wealth, BTW. At least we make some effort to quash such intolerant way of thinking, as opposed to the lot from beyond the Clyde. Of course, it is typical of the press to jump on the morons slagging Lafferty off as if they were the standard bearers of our support. For that alone these idiots need a right good whack ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy steel 0 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Until the club comes out with a statement actually telling people who think like that to get lost, we'll always be lumbered with them. They won't just naff off. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Danny, I'm struggling to understand why you requested the original thread on this subject be deleted instead of used for debate on the subject and then proceeded to start your own thread on the subject. Ok, so the two OP's are very different, but the subject matter and debate content is pretty much exactly the same. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't just naff off. We're a broad church, and much better for that. Would you 'naff off' if the club made an announcement telling you to? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,276 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) He's full of his own self-importance. And it is up to you to make such judgements/statements? @ Zappa ... never read the other article, bnut from my understanding some intolerant chap needed to comment on Lafferty "jumping the fence" and marry (SHOCK HORROR) a Catholic? I would assume that such intolerant behaviour ain't welcome on here. Debating it though, IMHO, seems to be another matter, right? Not least when the papers present these people as "your average modern day Rangers supporters" ... like you and me?

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything dB because I don't have a problem with the original thread being deleted and I don't have a problem with this new thread either. It just seems odd to me that Danny requested the original thread be chopped only to start a new one on what is essentially the same subject. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day it was inevitable that some Rangers fans would slag Lafferty off and it was also inevitable that the red tops etc would use it to try to paint a picture of big bad bigotted Bears. There's nothing new with either of those, so neither should come as a surprise to anyone. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
