They said racist/discriminatory. Which it was neither. 

 

It doesn't discriminate based on any groups or protected minorities, and it doesn't racially go against any groups.

You said "Basically anything incompatible with Western cultures" so presumably it discriminates against non-Western cultures. You may or may not agree, but there's certainly an argument to suggest that it does. There's enough dubiety about the (poorly written) banner that it makes it very difficult to argue otherwise.

I'll say that perhaps we shouldn't play these games with UEFA's ball effectively,

If you don't think Ranger should be taking part in UEFA competitions then fine, stay away from these games. It's your choice.

but if that banner had gone up in a domestic game, is anyone batting an eyelid?

Expand  

Probably not, which makes the displaying of the banner even more stupid. Why show it in a game when the club is going to get punished?

You've read that wrong entirely, try again.

Not sure what I've read wrong, but there's certainly enough dubiety about the meaning of the banner that makes it easy for UEFA to claim that it's discriminatory. 

 

You've got your interpretation of it, others have theirs and UEFA have theirs. Who is to say which one is correct? If we're spending our time arguing about the meaning then the argument with UEFA is already lost.

 

It's a badly written banner and it's left the club open to be punished.

You've looked at it and read it as we shouldn't play in UEFA competitions, that's incorrect.

 

Look at it properly you'll see my point was we shouldn't have done it in UEFA competition 👍🏻

'Woke' seems to be basically used to describe anything that the hard of thinking don't really like. 

Expand  

I think it is more that the hard of thinking coalesce around a particular ideology, because they struggle to think for themselves and cannot reason why anyone would challenge them or their faulty worldview.

Nobody else describes these things as woke.

 

I think this is, staunch U.E.F.A. men aside, why many are confused by the banner.

Expand  

Woke means overly sensitive. I.e people are shooting down anyone against those types of things as fascist/racist. When really, it's a normal thing to oppose.

 

Overly sensitive woke types allow these foreign ideologies in 👍🏻
