Selective hearing only fuels sectarian hatred
BlackSocksRedTops replied to Stevie - 4lads Blog's topic in Rangers Chat
I would suggest it's the people singing these songs that are the ones doing Lawwell's bidding. The fact that our manager has to comment about this again is embarrassing. Just stop singing these songs for goodness sake. -
A call for Rangers supporters to unite against BBC Scotland bias
BlackSocksRedTops replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
Great idea but I hope certain individuals leave the ski masks at home. -
Strange decision at this time of the season. Not unless they are laying the foundations for Brendan Rogers

No idea but the original article highlights the membership being part of the reformed faith. I presumed members of religious organisations required attendance at a place of worship?

Chelsea transfer ban for two windows

Maybe they can recall the 984 players they have on loan? -
"On the other hand, the Orange Order is a Charitable Christian organisation which is exclusively populated by members of the Reformed faith" Just based on personal experience but anyone I've ever encountered from OO couldn't tell you the first thing about their reformed faith and have never been in a church in their lives. Honestly, this stuff is bewildering. Stop trying to argue around the semantics of the words. The abuse is horrible and needs to stop. Just concentrate on football ffs. No wonder I encourage my wee boy into anything but football.

If we know all this then it's time to play a cannier game IMO. The Tim's abusing Boyd shouldn't be a green light to excuse our own abuse. If nothing was said on Wednesday the focus should have been on THEM. Ok the media will not run with it in the same way but if we keep our own house in check they will eventually be exposed. PS. As much as the passage was from the Bible, it's not overtly religious is it? Sounds more like common sense -

Is anyone else utterly scunnered with this prehistoric garbage? We should be talking about a 5-0 cup win. 4 goals for Alfie. The midfields hunger to work in packs to retain possession. The next round v Aberdeen. Oh no. Rangers fans don't get that luxury afforded to most football fans. We get a few days of the club being dragged through the myre thanks to this cringeworthy own goal by some of our fans. It's getting tiresome tbh. Just concentrate on football ffs. Leave all your own baggage at your own door. You are doing the club you profess to love, no favours whatsoever -

This. With bells on. Well said -
I genuinely don't care about them and what they sing. We've established that the media are not providing balanced coverage therefore we are never going to win this competition of tit for tat. Celtic fans hung effigies from their stadium and it should have been exposed to the world but as per usual it is buried in a glut of OF related violence/vandalism and is lost from the public debate forever. I just wish we could concentrate on what's going with the team and leave the flag waving politiking to them. They would be found out pretty quickly as they just cannot help themselves. Unfortunately, I fear we can't eaither

Agreed but I think there has to be some countability on our behalf. Don't sing songs with these silly words and it makes it harder for our critics to have a go. We excel at shooting ourselves in the foot with this stuff. We win the game by scoring 5 goals and playing well. All very positive but it's more important to some to hurl this crap at their manager. It's tiresome

So what happens when these foreign refs make mistakes? Is there a CR Smith store in Luxemburg/Belguim/Netherlands...? I agree with Jackson that we are genuinely heading down a dark road with this and it's all being championed by the loons from the East End. It happened 7 years ago when Dr Death played to the paranoid masses and the refs went on strike. Cue Rangers dropping out of the big picture for 5/6 years and what do you know, not one loaded statement, not one paranoid rant, no endless articles about those terrible refs. Cut to the present day, Rangers school Celtic on the pitch and even had the cheek to beat them. They have a high profile manager and are moving forward for the first time in ages. Somewhere in the bowels of the Meccano Dome a safe/shoe box opens for the first time in 7 years and a file labelled "Refs: How to stir paranoia soup and deflect from our own failings" is dusted off and is told to land on Liewells desk pronto.

Fantastic effort from the boys. Take a bow every one of you. Hopefully we will see them at Ibrox soon with the trophy -
Compliance Officer: "Insufficient Evidence" for Simunovic incident
BlackSocksRedTops replied to DMAA's topic in Rangers Chat
"Insufficient Evidence" for Simunovic incident... ie. It was not shown continuously on BBC Scotland's Sportscene.
