Are we surprised?

[Rousseau 9,727]

What "hate mob"? I doubt we give him a second thought.

 

I don't know why I'm posting: I usually just ignore these silly headlines.

Dear Scott,

 

Please allow me to inform you of events occurring at Sellik Park on the second of January 1988.

 

Rangers had signed Mark Walters from Aston Villa, probably the first high profile black player in modern Scottish football.

 

His debut in Scottish football was delayed for six minutes, to allow the Sellik ground staff to clear the carpet of bananas from both pitch and track side. Further, the second half was delayed for six minutes too, again the referee had to request the ground staff clear another carpet of bananas, extending 25 yards in front of the Jungle(the charming self given name to ra Sellik ultras). Yahoos in ape suits, the Sun headline reporting east end Greengrocers, 'Yes, we have No Bananas', and no apology from the perpetrators.

 

I do not blame you for NOT knowing about this particularly mass participation episode of racism because no Sellik-minded media type will ever revisit it; but now informed, I await your new definition of, "a gauntlet of hate"? I am sure you will agree, simply the worst incident of sustained racism in British football; maybe Mike Leigh will produce a film of the day?

You can also add Ricksen getting hit on the head with a lighter to that. there will only be one hate mob at Ibrox on Hogmanay and they will be wearing green and grey.

Tabloid journalism, genuinely written for 12 year olds. If you are not aware of that, research it. If you go to the USA it's slightly higher (14/15) but in the U.K., it's good old P7/1st year secondary level!

As for the Rebel?? Im sure there are people who consume copious amounts of industrial painkillers or tranquilisers who positively revel in it!!

Apart from that?????

That article is a journalistic breach of the peace, stirring up hatred against Sinclair among our more volatile, less perceptive supporters and inviting celtic supporters to rally behind their man.

 

Sinclair, I reckon, is blameless.

 

DR Hack: "Worried about the hate mob, Scott?"

SS: "Not really."

DRH: "Looking forward to the game?"

SS: "Yeah, sure."

And yet Rangers fans will continue to buy this rag.

Hate mob? Does he think there are going to be hanging effigies? He thinks anyone would do such a thing?

And yet Rangers fans will continue to buy this rag.

 

I stopped buying it in the 70's mate.
