You keep pulling at that thread, you should take it up with UEFA. Was the banner meant as a threat? It was so clumsily written it's hard to know. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody within Rangers just some Guardian readers, bbc folk, university people i.e. those who enrolled and stayed on forever, lefty comedians and maybe even @buster. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexscottislegend 2,649 Posted yesterday at 15:55 Share Posted yesterday at 15:55 In a way this reminds me of the day we signed Mojo. Cue scarve burning and threats never to return. Wee reminder; our crowds were down to 5,000 for some league games: post Souness we never looked back. I don't see the club rotting in hell. I'm a quarter Northern Irish and my great grandfather was in the Orange Order and lived right next to Ibrox, but I'm no bigot. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we got cash, Souness, Walter etc, and absolutely fucking romped the lot. That's what kept the status quo, no us signing Mojo 😂 Btw it doesn't make you a bigot to want your own culture/religion catered to as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your own culture is celebrated in a way that is anti another religion, it does. As @Bluedell pointed out earlier, this is too often the case at Ibrox. Making it very difficult for the club to encourage it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a way to celebrate it without the sometimes unpleasant attitudes displayed then I'm fine with it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, never said that. Nor do I think it is the case. My problem with national flags and patriotism (nearly all of them), is that they are too often abused to push people into acceptance of 'dubious' action(s) and their consequences. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @Bluedell pointed out earlier, this is too often the case at Ibrox. Making it very difficult for the club to encourage it. People are always going to find something to be offended by. For example, Britishness, Unionism, Monarchism etc, we fly Union Flags, have a picture of the Monarch in the dressing room, toast them every new year. However, anti-royalists, Scottish nationalists - would find that very anti their beliefs for example, and perhaps stay away. The club already encourages certain aspects, and is now trying to shun supporters for wanting to maintain their culture and traditions. We bred this culture mate. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when those celebrating the culture are thick enough to give them something to be offended by. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
