Did it become less inspiring once you knew who was depicted on the flag? Our displays are always amazing and add to the spectacul. No it did not inspire me (or you?) as we were both underneath it. It looks fine and as always pretty spectacular in the photos I’ve seen since last night, but I just don’t get the choice of character. Maybe an age thing, I prefer banners about the club. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But historically, TBO and UB have always split their TIFOs between club and characters. As Gonzo79 already said, they've had the Iron Maiden "mascot' Eddie - not Rangers related, but a great banner. If the UBs were only doing "non-Rangers" displays then I'd be asking questions, but I'm OK with the "mix" 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as the detail, the scale and visual impact of the display was undoubtedly impressive, I did wonder why they chose a character that was famous for making an anti-Irish sentiment in a film. Dare I suggest a display showing our great managers, players or victories would have been more inspiring and appropriate? There's a museum across the road showcasing this in great detail. Ultimately, it seems to me that a lot of energy and time has gone into trying to wind up the other lot rather than celebrating something that we've achieved. And we call them obsessed.

ian1964 10,457 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Has there ever been a banner that inspires the players? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 6,895 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 See all the people who complain about the UBs regarding songs and displays, why don't they start their own songs and create their own displays........ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the mixing it up thing but let's not kidd ourselves on. Last night's banner was aimed at our neighbours and had an anti-Irish slant. The Warriors display on the other hand was great. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
