Gonzo79 15,299 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 We seem to be making a bit much of this. Dafties with daft flag at a football match - does it matter? It's mainly a casuals' flag, with some right wing implications. I don't like rainbow armbands or Rangers fans called Declan but wouldn't ban them. If I see or hear something I don't like, I either speak to the person(s) or haud my wheesht. Telling tales is not a good thing (with some exceptions). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what those Fascists did, right? 😀 I served fir 25 years, multiple wars, multiple deployments 90% service related disabled. The longer I live the more It am fairly certain the wrong side won. Yeap I said it. I think we have been fed a steady diet of propaganda and general bullshit for the past 75 years. I wont elaborate. This ain't the place. This is a Rangers forum where i go to block that BS out. I’m done with this one. ✌️ We don't want pro-nazi postings on this forum, so maybe you should find one that does. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you (or anyone else) thinks being pro-Nazi on here will work out for you or what they did in the 20th Century was in any way worthy of praise, then please say so, so I can remove you asap. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dafties with daft flag at a football match - does it matter? It's mainly a casuals' flag, with some right wing implications. I don't like rainbow armbands or Rangers fans called Declan but wouldn't ban them. Yes, it matters. It's getting the club some dreadful press and could harm us in numerous ways. The whole "Chelsea headhunters" argument reminds me of the red hand salute. We can argue what it actually is until we are blue in the face but 100% of our enemies and 100% of neutrals will believe that both have nazi symbolism and it is extremely damaging. Thankfully the red hand salute has largely disappeared and hopefully we won't see that flag again. 9 hours ago, Gonzo79 said: If I see or hear something I don't like, I either speak to the person(s) or haud my wheesht.

These guys should be banned and I hope that someone is "telling tales". 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutton_blows_goats 5,381 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 It defies belief that anyone would want to affiliate themselves with that kind of movement never mind try to relate it to our club. I'm quite open minded and a free speech advocate and if someone wants to profess their undying love for Adolf then let them do it it only shows them for what they are, but to try and relate that to our club and by extension all of our support is a different kettle of fish and I hope something that is punishable by law. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Uilleam 5,954 Posted August 5 Popular Post Share Posted August 5 Fuck that Nazi shit: it is not clever; it is not edgy; it is not ironic; it is not post-modern; it is not meaningless; and it is not harmless. The reason that such iconography is used by football related gangs is probably not, actually, political, but to indicate that the 'firm' which displays the imagery is as harsh, relentless, disciplined, and dedicated in its uncaring violence as those who wore the badge for real, and committed nameless, and numberless, atrocities. That is, of course, delusional, narcissistic, immersed in fantasy, and based on ignorance; it does not make displaying it acceptable. If you have to ask why displaying what reads like overt approbation for Nazism, for its war criminals, for its complete brutality and inhumanity, is unacceptable, then perhaps you will never know; or understand. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CammyF 8,170 Posted August 5 Popular Post Share Posted August 5 (edited) My last comment on this. As others have said not wanting this flag or 'statement" attached to our club isn't censorship. If anyone wants to believe in any ideology then they are free to do so, but there is a time and a place for it. Watching Rangers isn'asthe time nor the place as it tars the club and ALL our supporters with the same brush and could have serious implications. Our club more than most is an open "church" and we have fans from all cultures and that is something that we need to celebrate. Rangers Charity Foundation and Anyone, Everyone are one of the areas of out club that shine bright for the work they do locally and internationally including numerous awards from the armed forces. This flag is not in keeping with our proud history, our culture or our future. No place for it at Ibrox or our games.
