I never meet these sorts at matches, oddly enough. They certainly seem very sensitive when you question their views. Unduly sensitive. Where have I seen that before? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never meet these sorts at matches, oddly enough. It's not about appeasing our "enemies". It's boxing clever and maintaining an reasonable image of our club. Why does everything have to be confrontational? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they're all imposters, there is a worryingly seditious element within the Rangers support, who promote republicanism and separatism. There's is a philosophy of denial with respect to just about every tradition we have.They're embarrassed by our loyaltyism, by our unionism and by our long affiliation with NI. Frankly, they make me sick. They won't be missed if they want to take their embarrassment elsewhere. If the cap fits feel free to wear it but that will be your decision alone. If I'd wanted to pin that on you personally you'd be in no doubt whatsoever. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Devil's advocaat 1,275 Posted May 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Not sensitive at all my friend, I just hold some different views from you, which really isn't an issue, as The Rangers is a broad church of people who are allowed to think and act as an individual. Unlike some others... Edited May 25, 2018 by Devil's advocaat 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gaffer 1,665 Posted May 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2018 Most of the time on these forums we enjoy a great debate and argument about all things Rangers. Now and again however there's an element of our support that surfaces which in my opinion is distasteful and embarrassing. I suppose this element exists in society, and as we've discussed on here before, our support is largely representative of the wider society. It therefore shouldn't be a surprise that we see a representative sample of that in some postings on here. Thankfully, this forum seems to be subjected to it far less than others, which for me is a good thing. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a Dutch manager for 3 years and group of Dutch players over 5/6 year period many moons ago. We've not had a Dutch player in years. That qualifies enough for me. If it doesn’t for you then fair enough. I reckon at the moment we could do with recognising successful periods and the Dutch connection is a wonderful example. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you so intolerant that you'd deny me my own opinion or the right to voice it? It is fun however to stir the pot occasionally and see who floats to the surface. It may be fun to you but you only illustrate your curious disposition to not only live and preach within your own reality but to expect others to be by your side and nod their heads, even if that reality doesn't actually reflect the real world......Then to top it off, offer abuse to those who might not. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, they make me sick. They won't be missed if they want to take their embarrassment elsewhere. I wasn't aware that we were all to fit in with you're identikit idea of a Bluenose. We're a football club, not a political institution, I have no interest in how my fellow Bear standing next me votes, indeed it's absolutely none of my business, all I'm interested in is our shared passion for the club. So you were wholeheartedly opposing the clubs firm “NO” stance as promoted by the manager and others during the referendum them? In Scotland Politics and Football are related, like it or not it’s the social climate. Edited May 25, 2018 by cooponthewing 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
