WILLIEA Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 This utter shit makes me laugh each time we're treated to it. During the "barren" years you refer to, Rangers won four League Cups, reached a couple of Scottish Cup finals and didn't once fail to get into Europe. For nearly every Scottish club, this would represent an absolute golden age. You guys haven't a bloody clue. Was going to point this out but this pretty much covers it. Also worth noting that their crowds were way down because? Shock horror other clubs were having the temerity to win some of the baubles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 As you're taking this moralistic stance over phrases such as 'green yins', does this also mean that terms like 'currant buns' and 'The Klan' which are thrown about here just about every day by certain posters are going to be banned from this forum? The term 'The Klan' is quoted on here by one poster in particular on a regular basis, it's a term that is derogatory and offensive, so let's see some consistency of banning on all these phrases or terms of speech by yourself and the other mods. 'Green Yins' and 'Currant Buns' both have sectarian underpinnings. 'The Horde', 'The Klan' and 'The Orcs' don't seem to be in the same ballpark - just standard fan-to-fan hatred. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as for 'klan' as far as I'm aware it isnt a banned word on this site and if a mod was to tell me it was , I wouldn't be stupid enough as Tedi n Kinky to then use it! And Id be keen to know why a club that defends the singing of the praise of a Klan leader takes offence to being called 'the Klan'?! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngsy Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 'Green Yins' and 'Currant Buns' both have sectarian underpinnings. 'The Horde', 'The Klan' and 'The Orcs' don't seem to be in the same ballpark - just standard fan-to-fan hatred. Absolute pish from you. The term 'The Klan' signifies a racist organisation in the U.S.A. It's offensive but it's commonly used by one poster on this forum to attempt to wind up Rangers fans. If the mods on this forum want to be consistent, then the term should be banned, no argument. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I won't accept the term ' The Klan' that's for certain, that ok with you. I seldom use any catch-all term to cover either of the Old Firm's group of fans so it's no skin off my nose. I just wonder where it will stop, though. Will it just be one banned term after another until we run out of words? Does anyone have the right not to be offended? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 In a break with tradition, I agree with Youngsy on this. If you put together a list of a dozen terms for Rangers fans (or Celtic fans) and scored off the offensive ones, you could guarantee that the remaining list would be whittled away over the coming months. 'The Orcs' might be 'acceptable' today but, give it a few dodgy associations, someone getting upset about a jpeg or something, and they'd be calling for that term to be banned, too. Where does it end? United and Dundee refer to each other as 'The Fun' and 'The Dirty Arab b*****ds' but we don't go running to the mods or, god forbid, the courts to complain. Genuine question - why do Celtic and Rangers take their outrage to the next level? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stag Nation Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 You think the fans could have stumped up for the reported £120m tax bill that was supposedly in the post (and then buy the club) when no other investor would touch it with a barge pole!? The fans continued loyal support has been the only shining light in this whole debacle. It is the sole reason we are still here. £120 million was probably neyond their reach, but £6 million would have outbid Charles Green. Also, if they're "aware of their responsibility", why do they persist in sectarian singing which can only damage the club/company. Or is that just a small minority? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngsy Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 American? The word 'Klan' might be a hint. Why sing 'billy boys' for the last 80 years then? Do me favour, son. Try and kid many of the posters on here but seriously i know how much of a bigot you are. The word Klan denotes racism amongst all right thinking people throughout the world and i, being part Jewish, for one am not prepared to accept this wording towards myself or any another Rangers fan in a jocular fashion on this forum. Keep going with this and we'll see where it goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
