Calidad Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 There's a choice missing there :- NOBODY I am very suprised there was not option to vote for Fan Ownership, it would appear the so called "millions" of fans roung the globe can not be organised enough to buy their club back. All they are going to get till now and Xmas is endless power struggles and then admin 2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The extremely obvious difference being that the tweet was posted in order to expose the individual as a bigot. So we shouldn't be offended by the tweet, then? Or should we? Cmon Tedi, we need moral guidance here!

stonedsailor Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Well since the post was really aimed at me, then I think I am within my rights to respond to it, I think your anger is (yet again) aimed at the wrong poster. No Idea. For someone who openly admits to using the acronym DABs you come across more than a little hypocritical. The A in DABs stands for Arab, Arabs are a race of people from the Arabian peninsula. Your logic dictates that words which have an offensive conotation even when used in another context they are unacceptable. You sir are racist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuoAnLai Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/rangers/rangers-fans-turn-up-heat-on-board-183648n.25536056 According to this article the Sons of Struth are planning to really hit the board where it hurts by...turning up in large numbers to a league match to support the team. Hmm, that'll show them. Then they're going to boycott a midweek League Cup match (that the vast majority of them probably wouldn't plan on attending anyway). The spivs must be quaking in their boots. They will round this all off when they "...assemble in a public place and perform a seemingly pointless act for a brief period of time" (Their own words). Isn't that what they've been doing the whole time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The difference of course being that neither UTD fans or any organisation has confirmed that it is racially offensive or abusive of course, the opposite is true of the H word, this is just your opinion, shite effort but thanks for trying. No, it's that they don't have the emotional age of cocker-spaniel puppy, unlike some torn-faced greeting cretins whose club died and simply cannot take it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Scottish football fans use the H word in a non sectarian manner. The word is banned. My Arabian cousin twice removed finds your term offensive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedsailor Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Aye Wullie, we all know you are upset that you unable to use your pet name for Rangers fans any more. So you admit it's just a term for Rangers fans on some occasions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedsailor Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 If I ever meet him then you can rest assured I will not use it against him. But it is a racial offensive term. Why use it at all? Many people use the H word in a non sectarian manner, it's common usage has evolved only to mean Rangers fan for most. Atilla is unrelated to Ireland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I know it is a sectarian slur used against Rangers fans (and others) often. What sect are they, then? I was under the impression that rangers, and their successors, were football clubs. Which of the major religions do these clubs adhere to - Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism? You and your appear to actually think you've got some kind of moral high ground going on here. All the rest of us can see is pathetic twisting and corruption to allow yourselves to be more offended than the other lot - and making yourselves look just as pathetic in the process -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Nil by mouth confirmed it was sectarian, my apologies to the pedant. Post us the link, then, Tedi. Of course, i forgot. That would be a Tedi link. Don't make it blow up in your face again, Tedi. I remember what it said now. Clue: not what you seem to think. Another clue: nothing of the fucking sort. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 If you are not happy the word is banned, do something about it, instead of banging on about it from 100 different angles. Couldn't give a fùck if its banned or not, in all honesty. Simply enjoying you trying to maintain a consistent standpoint on any argument - ever. Doesn't look like you're going to break your duck on this one, either. Five stars, Portuguese titles, season tickets, DAB/***.... You're absolutely clueless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Aye Wullie, we all know you are upset that you unable to use your pet name for Rangers fans any more. It's not my pet name for you pet, it's everyones. But we thought you didn't care? Although like the rest hopefully, i'll respect the forum but continue to call a spade a spade, ta. So on the back of the massive victory rankgers mk2 fans have achieved, namely ousting the editor of the Livingston match day programme what next? Maybe get the lollipop man outside your local school sacked because, like everyone else he knows you died. Or is there a sevco hating tea lady you can set your sights on. Was Aberdeens toaster a bigot? Were you behind its departure too? Important to get your priorities right of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing (2) Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The extremely obvious difference being that the tweet was posted in order to expose the individual as a bigot. Strange that. Nearly all the times I have saw the h word used, is when people are identifying a certain group/individual/organisation as being bigoted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I expect nothing less. He brought it all on himself, an editor using the club`s official programme to express his personal views against the wishes of the club chairman, sounds like a complete lack of respect for his employers to me. Pretty sure there's a falkirk stadium announcer who'd disagree. Would it not have shown a smidgen more class just to laugh it off? While you went after the criminals running, trying to run and that killed your old and new teams. Nah volunteer copywriter he's the big fish after all. Oh well it's a big step up from threatening a completely uninvolved childrens entertainer. Kudos, progress not perfection as they say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aofjays Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 You would have a point if the piece was written with the club`s backing but so far all the evidence points to the exact opposite happening, social media and forums like these are perfect places to let our personal feelings be known, sneaky entries into official club programmes with nobody else knowing are not. Quality swerve of the question there. Almost like you know all this greeting and whining makes you look like spoilt children. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos, progress not perfection as they say. this guy most other people would laugh these programmes off no Rangers fans put the blinkers on and decide to go completely nuts and what these poor guys sacked. The rangers fan I heard on the football phone in. Tried to tell them all that anyone who tries to get on the show and state they are a new team should be banned and the shows could possibly face legal charges due to this because it's lies lol to which Hugh k replied if you are the rangers of old. Why are they not playing Cowdenbeath as the rangers he knows and grew up with would never have shy'd away from this game for two players missing. Que the absolute rage from caller.

You carry on relying on Tedi's world view, wee man. You're in for a lot of surprises on life's journey. I am not relying on anyones world view. http://nilbymouth.org/resources/history/ have a gander on their site then "Offensive sectarian language is still used in Scotland on a daily basis, with abusive terms such as “***” and “Orange b*****d” being used negatively against Protestants (or those perceived to be) and others such as “******” and “T**” used negatively against Catholics (or those perceived to be). This reinforces religious and racial stereotypes as well as fuelling the divisions and conflict between the denominations and poeple of no religious denomination. Children commonly use words without any knowledge of their meaning, but with an understanding that these words are a means by which to insult others." again it is simply for this reason that the word when in reference to the whole protestant and catholic divide can have more religious/political tones. the word has been made a banned word , wether you mean it to be offensive or not or wether you take it offensively or not is irrelevant. the word is banned and there is heehaw anyone can do about it really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
