cyderspaceman Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 This from another website The big problem is attracting people back after they have stopped going. I'm one of these people who never missed a game home or away and had a season ticket for the past 25 years, however I gave it up last year as I was finding myself not going if the weather was bad or there was a good match on Sky or if my mates weren't going etc and I had already paid for my ticket of course. Being totally honest, one of the main things that scunnered me was the attitude of the Police and Stewards where they were basically treating supporters as either criminals or potential criminals, then of course the atmosphere was killed and in the UK today you aren't even allowed a bit of "banter" for fear of being jailed or accused of being a racist, homophobe, bigot, etc, etc, etc. Why pay for the privilege of that ??? I don't really miss it much and honestly I don't know what would make me go back on a regular basis even if the playing standards improved dramatically. Looks like the walking away may be turning into a wee jog. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Oh I get context, moron. A lot more than you appear to understand the topic of this thread, given your irrelevant C&P above. You do realise there's all manner of threads for having a go at your former chums, don't you? If you're going to stick up lumps of others' efforts, try and make them about the rangers, there's a good numpty. While celtic have almost as many despicable traits as your lot, they're nowhere near as funny at the moment. It was about Rangers, you moron lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Utd trying again to shaft a club when it comes to compensation for players. We had it in 2003 Queens Park had it more recently Now Rangers. Are their anymore examples? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngsy Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 An open letter to Rangers fans from a celtic fan, it seems awfy familiar... Rangers Supporters Trust : Dear Sir/Madam, I cannot verify whether your statement concerning the graffiti on the Tynecastle door was quoted verbatim on this thread but just encase it was, I have this to say to you . You appear to be raising your concerns from a morally sound standpoint which to be fair is rather concerning since your attitude to liquidation and out of pocket creditors doesn't appear to be as affected as it is by the graffiti on the door at Tynecastle. If only you showed the same level of concern for the abuse of the old Rangers emblem perhaps I could take you more seriously . I would also ask how you know it was a Celtic fan or anyone connected to Celtic football club that painted/sprayed the graffiti on the door? At no point in your statement do you make mention of the time the incident happened and so it's safe to say the graffiti could have been left a week before by a The Rangers International fan in the knowledge Celtic fans would be using the very same toilets in less than 7 days . What if it was neither a Rangers International fan or a Celtic fan? What if the graffiti was sprayed/painted by an employee on the day ? You see at no point can you prove a Celtic fan wrote/sketched/painted/sprayed the graffiti in question and to be honest it does appear to be a little staged. Looking at the picture I saw of the graffiti I wouldn't think of the Ibrox tragedy, a night that saw many of the women folk in my family in complete panic. In those days no cell phones and no 24 hour news meant most of the fans didn't know it had happened until the next day. You employ words such as disgust which I find a little hypocritical considering the chaos that has unfolded at Ibrox since 2012. I also wonder if you found the non-Catholic signing policies of old Rangers an immoral and disgusting act? We are all aware of various tragedies in football throughout the years and I can assure you of this; the Ibrox disaster is no different. And let's not forget the picture, whatever it depicts and we still don't know what it actually depicts was done presumably by one person. Does one persons actions deserve to be portrayed in a sweeping condemnation of an entire fan-base? I don't think so. If I were you I would be sending your disgusted comments to the power brokers at Ibrox. I would be concentrating on getting the old emblem protected from further use and I would forget Celtic . I accept you are entitled to an opinion and I accept your position in this regard I just don't buy it, it's too convenient for a toilet door at Tynecastle to become a talking point of this magnitude unless it was planned. How would a grounds-man or some stadium worker even make out what the graffiti represented and even if he did wouldn't he just sigh and say "these bl00dy fans" and then paint over it? I think a TRFC fan painted/sketched or drew it a week before in an attempt to make Celtic look bad. It has all the markings of a false flag act. Just my opinion. Absolutely ridiculous that Hearts left graffiti on a wall from the week before so that Celtic fans would be blamed. Or even worse that they allow employees the time to do such a thing whilst on duty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Dat Sevco statement just screams "protesting too much". It what way does making it £170k + VAT prove they have been in existence for > 2 years? PHUDS. (As it happens, my first thought on seeing the fee was that it was reasonable for a promising young guy for the DU squad) PS - remember and forward on the £35k to the taxman, Sevco! PPS get it right up you, Thompson, signed, Falkirk and Queen's Park fans xx Edited December 9, 2014 by Ranaldo Bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haggis pakora Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) I let the post above go. But !, then we get this pattern from you at having a go at me. Care to explain ?, I gave you a red dot and you throw the toys right oot the pram sending me PM's complaining about getting a red dot but gave me a few yourself and now the homophobic comments after getting a red dot from me ??? WTF Just proves why posters call you a two faced cnut, from a PM "oh, HB let's play nice together" to "Why did you give me a red dot and thought we moved on but here's a few red dots from me and you are homophobic by the way". If you ask someone to play nice and then take a pissyfit because they gave you a red dot then you can fcuk right off you gangsta handshaking bigoted cnut. Is this post to let off steam because you got suspended form this forum for a few days...?

hellbhoy Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Oh dear. hbqc drunk again. I didn't send PMs plural complaining about anything. I sent you a PM asking if you had been banned as i thought it was a nonsense. I then made the effort to put your constant whining behind us and to move on as i don't want to see any posters warned or banned from here ...You seemed happy enough with that then immediately red dotted a post on the subject we had been talking about as your pals had red dotted it. Utterly pathetic..Had another dig about Bennets sexuality and tried , and failed, to start the whole BJK stuff again. I never called you homophobic in any PM. No need to just make shit up. You keep making wee comments about BJk. If you want to discuss that i suggest you start a thread but i am pretty certain you wont like where that thread takes you. Would you like a shovel there ?, you did send a PM about me red dotting you did you not ?, the other phobic shit was in the quotes supplied is it not ?, suggesting me as being homophobic in some way or another in your posts ?. Dishing out your reddies to me and then posting I had made a comment about having a dig at Benny's sexuality is just childish behaviour from you just because I gave you a red dot. Bennett made no comment about the post because Bennett probably knew what the fcuk I actually meant about Stefan King you plonker and not actually a dig at Benny himself. As for your favourite subject ?, need I post any more ?. All this from me giving you a fucking red dot !. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
