To me it shouldn't be. We used to prioritise killing animals humanely, and ensuring they were well looked after etc. 

Maybe if 'Western powers' didn't kill so many Muslims and cause so much chaos in their imperial ambitions there wouldn't be so much blowback or refugees looking for alternatives.

 

Rangers FC have set out their stall regarding embracing different cultures. If you don't like it, go somewhere else.

I think you’ll find that when it comes to killing muslims, other muslims are proficient at it.

Doesn't work as a defence argument.

So not sure what your point was pal 👍🏻 lounge isn't open to me. But I'll not carry on this discussion in here, that's no worries.

Maybe the forum admin can fast-track your access.

 

It has become quite dull since everyone to the right of Harriet Harman was hounded out.

Who’s arguing defence?

You appeared to be trying to downplay.

Better off asking Balogun or Pröpper ?

Rangers have set out their stall of some religious things are to be embraced, as I've said in other places, the day Rangers come out and embrace Protestantism and orange culture, Ross MacAusland in his band outfit, flute in hand, a day in the life of a Protestant footballer video to go with it.

 

Then I'll gladly shut up about the clubs double standards 👍🏻 I've supported us all my life, the hardcore element through absolute thick and thin, our fanbase hasn't changed, Loyalist Unionist, they can't expect to fuck us all off and get a new hardcore fan base.

Our club has a rich cultural and identity-driven history, deeply intertwined with Scottish and British traditions. The club is historically associated with Unionist political views, which is reflected in the prominent display of Union Jack flags by many supporters. This connection stems from Rangers' strong base within Glasgow’s Protestant community, which has traditionally held Unionist beliefs and valued ties to the United Kingdom.

 

From recent evidence it seems the club wants to distance itself from this, and align with other, newer cultures to this country. The club isn't owned by us, the owners can do whatever they want. But they should not be surprised that by eroding the major tie the vast majority of us have with the club, that we lose interest not just with hearts and minds, but with our wallets.

Exactly mate. 

 

They've encouraged it and joined in with it for years, allowing vote no displays etc in 2014, UK OK stickers on the official team bus, loyalist bands on the park in matches against Linfield etc, suddenly they're going to try and bin that off? Don't want it anymore? After all our loyalty and money spent?

 

Watch this space, turn us away, the club will rot on its arse.

You or whatever particular group don't represent the fan base as a whole. I am neither Loyalist, Unionist or do I play the flute. 

 

That said, there are many Loyalists and Unionists in our support. But I doubt that the majority need the club to arrange 'Orange Cultural' days.

 

If it boils your pish to see Muslims celebrating the breaking of a fast at Ibrox, then it is you that has the problem.

 

Rangers FC have apparently chosen a 'wider path', but you are always free to get off. .... I doubt significant numbers of our support will disappear if we don't dress Ross McCausland up in orange.

 

 

Ps.

As far as I am concerned, I am glad that you are free to say how you feel. I welcome it, then people can communicate with each other, even if it is doubtful that it will resolve any issues.
