simplythebest 0 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Why? Not everyone is as sensitive about swearing as you are, indeed the English language is the richer for swearing, it's intrinsic to our ability to communicate and imply force of feeling. It doesn't offend or upset me in the slightest. I'm not sensitive to it, I believe it just reflects poorly on our support. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 would these be alright then? "would mr ashley please do one" or "mr ashley we wish no association with you" Would be less childish certainly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,292 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Why?

It doesn't offend or upset me in the slightest. There is nothing "sensitive" in there. It simply does not befit the status and dignity of our club, nor its support (and I reckon someone will object to this and turn the argument on its head). I for one would not want our club dragged down by people using pub or youth speech as a way of communication between the support and the club's leaders. "No Sports Direct Ibrox" / "No to Ashley's millions" would have been message enough. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'd ban any banner that is not directly football related. Telling an investor to F*** off is not football related, neither is a banner about Alex Salmond. Rangers are a football club, any banners displayed should be for the "benefit" of the team on the park. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggy dewhurst 0 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 this banner has been held up for all to see as the club is searching for a shirt sponsor and a kit supplier now ask yourself would you like to cater to so called fans who seem to be doing everything to stay in the past if i represented addidas or nike i would walk away . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No Sports Direct Ibrox" / "No to Ashley's millions" would have been message enough. But people curse and swear all around me at Ibrox all the time, countless songs that include swearing are sung at Ibrox and every other football ground for that matter. The support can't claim 'dignity', we're a vast and disparate group, swearing has been part of the tradition of football for generations. Never has communication between the support and the 'club leaders' been more forceful, clear or effective than when groups of supporters chanted for John Grieg to 'get to fuck' when he was the manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers are a football club, any banners displayed should be for the "benefit" of the team on the park. When you say football related do you mean just the players on the pitch? Would a banner telling Ian Black to fuck off be okay then? It could be argued that might benefit the team on the park! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
