Monkey Tennis Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Sorry but your analogy is simply irrelevant. My contention is that one club's sectarian signing policy has nothing to do with the other. That's a fact, it hasn't and therefore cannot be attributed to the 'OF' ... despite your colourful analogy. So what exactly is the Old Firm, if the behaviour of its constituent parts somehow operates outside it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave.j Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Then cite your proof .. I can see where he's coming from, your clubs attitude(pandering) towards the green brigade, doesn't help matters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The OF is a term for two clubs. Yes, so when you said that the Old Firm had not contributed to sectarianism, you only meant that they hadn't had meetings at which they'd decided on collective initiatives to stoke sectarian tensions? You do accept however that either or each of the clubs may have been guilty of actions which were destructive in this regard? I'm starting to think that your original point lacked one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-MAN Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Rangers Launch Club Membership Written by Rangers Football Club MANAGER Ally McCoist and Captain Lee McCulloch joined a group of fans at Murray Park today (Tuesday 29, July 2014) to launch Rangers Club Membership – an initiative designed to bring supporters closer than ever to their Club. As this is the inaugural season for Club Membership all supporters who join will become Founder Members including all season ticket holders, who will automatically receive complimentary Founder Membership. Club Members will enjoy a series of exclusive benefits bringing them closer to the Club and the team as well as access to Member only events and promotions. Membership will bring enhanced participation with the Club including the ability for Members to apply for a position on the Fans Board and to vote in the Fans Board elections; exclusive members only email in advance of every home game; Members only prize draws; behind the scenes experiences including Q&A sessions with the Manager/CEO/Players and a Members only training day at Ibrox. Members will also have the chance to enjoy discounts across the Club including Matchday Hospitality, Ibrox Stadium Tours and non-matchday dining at the Argyle House Restaurant. As a Rangers Junior Founder Member supporters will have the opportunity to be mascots at home games, have access to exclusive online content and competitions and will receive a Junior Founder Member only pack including a scarf, wristband, bag and stickers in addition to their Founder Member badge, certificate and card. Season ticket holders can take up their benefits from today and their pack, which includes the Founder Member badge, certificate and card will be issued in the next 4-6 weeks. Non season ticket holders can purchase Club Membership online at rangers.co.uk/membership priced £24.99 plus P&P* for adults and £14.99 plus P&P* for juniors. Members can benefit from the many benefits right away and Founder Member welcome packs will be posted within 4-6 weeks from purchase. Ally McCoist commented: “This initiative is a fantastic way for our fans to get closer than ever to their Club. As Rangers Founder Members supporters can apply to join the Fans Board or vote in the upcoming Fans Board elections, have the opportunity to take part in exclusive Q&A sessions with the CEO and myself, attend a members only training session at Ibrox or have the chance of a behind the scenes tour of Murray Park. “I am also delighted that all Rangers season ticket holders are being given Founder Member status automatically and will receive all the benefits associated with that. Our supporters have shown unbelievable passion, loyalty and commitment to Rangers, especially in the last few seasons, and I can’t thank them enough for their continued backing. “I encourage all fans to become Founder Members of the Club, get even closer and take advantage of the exclusive range of benefits on offer. We are on our way back to the top of Scottish football and together the journey will be much easier.” Lee McCulloch added: “The Rangers fans are the lifeblood of this great institution and initiatives like Club Membership are a key way to reward that incredible loyalty. Our supporters have backed the team in huge numbers at Ibrox and in away games in the past few seasons and I am sure they will get right behind us once again when the campaign begins. “The players and management staff are all looking forward to the opening league game against Hearts where we will unfurl the League One flag and honour the late Sandy Jardine and I ask all Rangers fans to sign up for Club Membership and be part of this exciting initiative.” Can I just clarify if this brings fans closer to the club ? What height are Sally and Elbows in this pic ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Not condemning is not actively encouraging ... as you are well aware. There's some utter bollix being spouted on here. However, not condemning it, does encourage it. I would suggest it encourages the GB to see how far they can push the boundaries. Or maybe I'm wrong and Celtics "ignore them and they will go away" type attitude will see the welcome end of the green brigade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave.j Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) So Celtic never initiated a Bhoys against Bigotry campaign, I imagined that?Was that not in 1996?It's just I'm struggling to find anything up to date on it, what it does, is it an organisation, a charter, what is it? How is its success graded? Edited July 29, 2014 by dave.j 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No8. Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If you wanted to argue that Celtic contributed nothing, I'd take issue with that too, but I wouldn't be able to cite the signing policy in doing so. Oh but you could and TBH you would be on much firmer ground 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing (2) Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 A badge, certificate and discount card for £25. Nobody is that daft? It's the right to vote that is the important bit (aside from the cash) , so the boycott the season ticket brigade get disenfranchised 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 It's the right to vote that is the important bit (aside from the cash) , so the boycott the season ticket brigade get disenfranchised So a non-season ticket holder who forks out £24.99 gets the right to vote. A non-season ticket holder who does not pay £24.99 has no vote. And just what sort of motions do you think the 'board' will put to a public vote ? Remember the old adage, "If voting actually changed anything, they'd abolish it." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Funny .. I have yet to see any evidence of the club's active encouragement or contribution being produced ... just hot air and rhetoric. Sorry, Dhen, but I'm hearing a wee bit of defensiveness from you here - and it is, imho, justified. Had either club (or any of the three) wanted to eradicate this part of their support, or had the "majority of decent fans" (© both sides) stood up to this shite, they could get rid. Burke had it right - The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing (2) Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 how does this pack compare to other clubs memberships and season ticket deals? They don't get the chance to be a fleg bearer for a day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kildog Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 "All you fannies who sing about terrorists and long forgotten wars can do one, we want f**k all to do with this Cafflik and Proddie pish. Get it stopped or do one." Signed the big bosses of the Old Firm. Don't remember that. Tacit approval in my books. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
