Zappa 0 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I think that banning supporters for having opinions, and an audience, would be the stupidest move that the board could make. It would make it very extremely easy to criticise the board and portray them as antagonistic to the support in general. Too late in terms of risking antagonism (or portraying an image of it) with their actions. They've already well and truly gone down that path when 'they' (whoever 'they' actually are?) instructed solicitors to start threatening fans and websites over the discussion of one of Leggo's articles and also other matters. Then of course, there's the despicable cases of them reporting Rangers fans to the police for incidents which they alleged were either criminal or likely to incite. They even had the audacity to advertise their grassing of our own fans for false crimes on the official site. Some of our fans once came up with the phrase "the enemy within" and now we know what it really means. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still not totally convinced Whyte just handed over all the power to Green 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

amms 0 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Mark Dingwall and Chris Graham have both been discussed inside as Ibrox as bears needing banned, apparently. Think Leggo is also on the list. How do you know that? That's alarming if true, if you are going to become a director of a football club then you must expect criticism from supporters. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTP 0 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It's a pet hate however what annoys me greatly about Easdale's email is he can't spell Rangers with a capital R. Irrelevant in the grand scheme however as said it's a pet hate of mine. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regard to discussion of Leggo's articles I think that is a problem but just not on the same level as banning fans from attending matches. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think I've missed the bit about reporting Rangers fans to the police but point taken. Here's just one example that's been officially reported. The following was published on the official Rangers site on 27 Sept' - http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/5177-club-statement From what I heard, the initial part was exaggerated, twisted nonsense about comments on FF that were harmless and not intended as a threat or to incite anything, while the last sentence/paragraph actually refers to reporting fans to the police due to the Sons of Struth meeting in the Louden the same night (IIRC). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stfu Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think that banning supporters for having opinions, and an audience, would be the stupidest move that the board could make. It would make it extremely easy to criticise the board and portray them as antagonistic to the support in general. Kind of ironic considering one of the three mentioned takes great pleasure in banning people for asking simple questions on his forum. I also do not remember hearing how the RST investigation has turned out and as a member they still have not emailed me to explain why there have been so many resignations from the board recently. These so called leaks wouldn't be helping to divert attention away from any other issues would they? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a big difference between what happens in the Ibrox Boardroom and a rather unimportant website 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
