RANGERRAB 3,258 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 They were/are just one very small cog in a much longer chain of events. Of course Phil and the RTC blogger think they brought down Rangers. But, actually, it was the banking crisis of 2007 onwards, the tax scheme hubris of SDM and the lack of SFA club ownership fail-safes that really caused the club's near demise. Not to mention the inability of Rangers supporters and their club to work together to tackle the various problems we did (and still) have. A lesson some are still clearly unwilling to learn from now. Useful idiots but dangerous ones nevertheless IMO. Just who was the RTC blogger? Was his/her identity ever revealed? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,150 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Useful idiots but dangerous ones nevertheless IMO. Just who was the RTC blogger? Was his/her identity ever revealed? Plenty guesses made but never official confirmation. I suspect it may come out eventually within the various police investigations. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 That's so true. I don't think I would even know who he was were it not for endless topics on Rangers forums about him. But indirectly you would feel his effect, he would be shaping things said about our club. He feeds Radio Snydede, BBCeltland and Spiers and co, he gives them ammo that they can hardly wait to use; he spreads lies about or club far and wide so that our fans are thought of as he depicts them. you may not see his name but you would feel the influence 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lies & false accusations must not be left unchallenged. That is where a strong, robust CEO earns his corn. Use litigation if necessary. A lie told often enough can become a truth. Many yahoos still think we cheated using EBT's despite the LTTT & UTTT victories & LNS ruling. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making one use terms like Snyde, BBCeltland or having an uncontrollable urge to insert an 'h' into any word that doesn't require it? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair point, but add to that being party to getting Uefa to investigate and fine us, being party to the idea we evaded tax, that we are subhuman, that we are all bigots, and to numerous newspaper and radio attacks pon us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,258 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) You'd think by now most of us would realise that the 'dignified silence' simply doesnt work. And the likes of McGillivan, Haggerty,Brennan etc take full advantage of this Edited July 1, 2015 by RANGERRAB 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
