CammyF 6,807 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 on Saturday..... The Dublin Loyal lads displayed their flag (below) and were informed by Police and Rock Steady that Rangers and the match commander had found it offensive - sometimes I truly dispair at the fcukwits that are running our club - can anyone, anywhre find anything offensive about this flag : Cammy F 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmck 117 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 whatever it is must be quite tenuous. they would need to be reading something like "because dublins full of tims, and they are our enemies" into it. but why this is more probable than "because dublins full of celtic supporters", i dunno. your taste in offense would have to be quite well refined for it to be spurned towards censorship so readily. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainstandbear 0 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 unbelievable!! yet another example of the scrutiny we fans are under...this shit just goes on and on. i dont want to make comparisons with the fuckwits across the city but the match commander at Ibrox didnt seem to have a problem with their banner depicting the Rangers support/ players as sub evolutionary...

pete 2,499 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I can actually understand why they banned it. Rangers as a football team don't want to be portrayed as a club with enemies. The Dublin enemy issue could give fuel to those people who are just waiting to shoot us down. There is no point in saying Rangers are doing nothing to make the media more positive about us,and then give the media fuel to shoot us down. Gerry McNee even said that us singing "if we go to Dublin"was bigoted. That is ridicules of course but just goes to show they will try and hit us for virtually anything. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MichaelMols Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Nothing offensive about it in any stretch of the imagination. Just more over-zealous policing and stewarding at Ibrox! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So everyone in Dublin hates the Dublin RSC? While I don't find the flag offensive I don't understand where the guys are coming from with the message. Is it about religion? If it is, is every Dubliner an enemy of ours? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
