Rangers keeper Adam on bigot rap

[BrahimHemdani 1]

There has to be a point where we draw a line in the sand and say we want a level playing field, if the other clubs aren't going to hold there players to the high standards we do, then we won't with our players. A players career shouldn't be adversely affected because he plays with Rangers compared to one that plays with Celtic or Aberdeen.

 

We have been seen to be doing the right thing according to others in the media for too long, when that same media doesn't hold the rest up to the same scrutiny, enough I say.

 

We Are All Grant Adam.

 

I couldn't disagree with you more GA. In the first place, I don't get escorted out of night clubs at 2.00am and in the second place I don't get arrested for sectarian comments in private or in public.

 

No player's career wil be adversely affected by playing for Rangers, on the contrary in most cases their career will be enhanced by playing for our great Club. A player's career will only be affected by his own actions. Playing for Rangers is a privilege but with that privilege and lifestyle comes a responsibility to behave and conduct oneself responsibly. This has never been more true than in today's climate where the Government are set to introduce a law on unacceptable conduct at football. Players are role models and must lead by example.

 

In my opinion Rangers Foootball Club and its employees should set the highest standards of conduct and IF Mr Adam is found guilty then he should face a severe penalty. I don't give two hoots how Celtic or Aberdeen deal with their employees or how the media scrutinise them, so long as our Club does the right thing.

So it's one rule for Rangers and the rest can do what the hell they like doesn't sound very fair to me. Taking the moral high ground when the other 99% couldn't give a monkeys what they say or do against us, really is cutting your nose off to spite your face.

 

It doesn't bother you that if we get shot of Grant Adam for being just plain stupid ( and try to remember how many stupid things we all did at that age ) it will change nothing in way the 99% will treat their players. In fact it will have the bheasts laughing up their sleeves at us again.

 

Guilty or not a sit down and a quite word in his ear will do more for him and the club, than just kicking him out the door.

 

If Rangers cave in and sack the boy, a little bit of love for my club will go with him because again the perma offended and the morally bankrupt RC Church will have won again.

 

But then it's just the opinion of one Rangers fan and what's that worth these days.:sad:

What age are you again?

 

Old enough to think that if I made a stupid mistake, the big family that we like to call Rangers wouldn't just slam the door in my face. But in today's Scotland the turn your back on your own seems to be the norm.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I just think that Rangers have to set their own standards and not worry about others whose standards might not be as high as ours.

 

I didn't say that he should be sacked, it would depend on Rangers view of the offence (if proven) and it may well be that a first and final warning might be the answer.

 

I'm afraid that I just don't see what this has to do with the Catholic Church, whether they are morally bankrupt or not.

 

However, one thing that you might want to consider is that in many ways the new legislation (nothing to do with this incident of course) is targeted at Celtic fans who sing pro-IRA songs etc and attempt to justify them on the grounds of political comment, which the police and prosecutors find well nigh impossible to deal with at present but which will be caught under the OBB.

 

I'm just saying that against that background, any Rangers player, official or fan who offends against the current law is only adding fuel to the fire.

Seriously? Are you 12?

I agree BH he's been stupid and someone at the club should have a word with him. But at a time when everybody and their granny is lining up to have a pop, it's the ideal time for Rangers to stand up for its own. You have to ask yourself if this had Been anybody else would the authorities have been so quick to act I think not.

 

The remark about the RC Church relates to the fact that in this country even the least little critical comment against them results in a furious backlash and screams of bigotry. All church's should be held to a high standard and if pointing out that they have been falling short of that standard for centuries ends with someone being publicly branded a bigot then this country is finished.

See above.

Actually a 12 year old would get the meaning of standing by his own. He hasn't learned yet how to turn on his own when one of them makes the slightest mistake. But then it is the Rangers way as this thread is pointing out very clearly.

 

Thank god the young lad only told the head of a church to do one. Imagine if it had been something serious there would crys for him to be lynched on a lamppost on Edmiston Drive.

Of course the lad should be censured heavily by the club - if found guilty and depending what the 'crime' was. we don't know what the crime was and the lad has pled not guilty so he's obviously confident his behaviour wasn't sectarian.

 

Nevertheless, as others have said, he has a responsibility to himself and others to act properly while being a Rangers player and, while going for a few drinks (or even getting drunk) isn't a crime, there are still ways you can do that without bringing attention to yourself.

Why? The boy has (possibly) fucked up at a time when the club are the fans are being watched like hawks. Stand up for him? They should fling the book at him (if found guilty). He'll plead guilty before this goes to trial anyway or leave Rangers.

 

I've just sold him in FM.
