simplythebest 0 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 You start throwing banning orders about willy nilly, the fans will turn on him. Lets see how far he gets with everything is for sale then. Well you seem to have jumped on the bandwagon yourself certainly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveC 150 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Nothing mock about it, offended by the mindset that could come up with it even if it was from someone who actually owned the club. Were I a Chelsea fan I'd cringe at Abramovich saying "Abramovich's Chelsea" though that would at least be true. How does "Murray's Rangers" or "Whyte's Rangers" grab you? In both cases it turns my stomach, but both were far truer than "Green's Rangers". Or have I missed something and he actually is the owner? It's just grandstanding, boastful "look at me" - sorry but I don't like this in any walk of life. When it is related to my/our club - it really grates. He really is a bit of a Billy Liar/Too big for my boots character at times. Edited March 5, 2013 by SteveC 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just another phrase for saying Rangers under his guidance. Like I say, mock offence. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,348 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 How does "Murray's Rangers" or "Whyte's Rangers" grab you? It's a way of differentiating the time periods being referred to. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 He runs the club and is the face of it from the boardroom. It's just another phrase for saying Rangers under his guidance. Like I say, mock offence. If he keeps it up he will turn Rangers Supporters against him, silly thing to say. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if he went out on the Ibrox pitch at half time on Saturday he'd still get a warm reception. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveC 150 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 "Like I say" seems to mean something to you stronger than the lexical import contained therein. So, I answer thusly: a) "like I say" It is not mock offence but symptomatic of something deeper, something that is already apparent in the utter mis-guidedness of threatening to ban innocent people "without appeal" for not grassing on best pals/not endangering their own safety. b) "like I say" - We never talked of "Marlborough's Rangers" We can agree to disagree but "like I say" proves only you are agreeing with yourself, be you correct or incorrect in your assertion(s). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
