Is it worth aiming punches at a gang of bullies? [Analogy]

[Anchorman 0]

If a couple of ringleaders get a 'team' together to set about a guy standing on his own that they see as a threat, what is the best stance for the threatened guy to adopt?

(a) be passive, try to adapt (hoping that you will not have to give too much ground) and get on with your life [only to find out no matter what you give it will NEVER be enough]?

(b) While they are aiming blows at you, make sure you get as many in as you can yourself? Will the same crowd be so eager to keep coming back to bully someone with a No Surrender attitude if they suffer a good belt on the 'Duke of Montrose' in the process?

 

No matter what Charles Green's ultimate legacy will be I feel proud actually to have a man at our helm who favours option B after decade upon decade of our guardians taking option A. I'm an old fart and I remember as a kid reading a certain Doug Baillie ('Rangers' man) in the 60s in the Sunday Post saying "Rangers will get a fair hearing from the press once they sign a Catholic". [get rid of their socks, Union Jack, Billy Boys........etc etc]. I asked my dad if that was true and he laughed "no chance son"

 

I love the fact that CG is enoying the fight and bloodying a few noses in the process and bringing back a No Surrender pride! Don't be kidded by the Keevins, Gordons, etc etc trying to make him out like some sort of nutter who is nothing more than nuisance value. They are are not lying comfortable in their beds knowing that this guy is knocking on shaky walls that they prevously thought were safe to hide behind.

Option B without a doubt. Never surrender to bullies. I learned that mindset the hard way, but then most of us learn things the hard way...

Ask Gordon Waddell - he compares our club to something you would like to punch so much that your hand hurt.

 

But as to your point...thank goodness CG is at the helm and not one of the dignified silence brigade.

 

I know which one keeps the pressure up.

Zappa, They say what doesn't kill you makes you a better man, but not easy to think that way at the time I''l bet!

Green is jabbing and punching while Regan and Doncaster are dodging and weaving. Hopefully soon a knock-out blow will land.

PS What happened to the SFA statement?

as Bill McMurdo said in a recent blog the SFA & SPL have met their match in CG

Never back away I used to try that method it doesn't work you face a bully all guns blazing, as the saying goes they don't like it up'em.

IMO, the SFA and SPL are less like bullies than (to continue the schoolyard analogy) snotty monitors who let their mates into the cloakroom when it's raining but not you. Then when you complain about it they say they're going to report you for swearing. (Can you tell I still bear a grudge?)
