Drew Brees Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 ****: A derogatory description of Rangers fans. This term, originally used to describe the German forces during the two World Wars, was taken up by football fans to describe the opposition support (the enemy). Over the years, this term was applied more and more to Rangers supporters in light of their behaviour as a travelling support, particularly in 1959 when they caused havoc in the North of England. The association between the Rangers support and the term was cemented following their misbehaviour in Barcelona in 1972 when the term was used in various press articles after the game. Im going with this. End of discussion.. It was used by a Newcastle newspaper at the time who likened them to an army of **** charging over the border and causing havoc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedsailor Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 He had that nickname long before joining Rangers, keep on trying to twist it, pathetic! Yes but that nickname should have been removed from him when he came to Scotland. Scotland is in the vicinity of Ireland and anything affecting that troubled wee island needs tho be addressed in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaffenThinMint Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Oh dear. Time for a bit of proper history. Where Celtic's background is unacceptably Roman Catholic, it must be pointed out that up until the First World War Rangers were just a common or garden Scottish football club, with no leanings one way or the other. It was only in 1915 when the War Effort saw a great many dockyard workers imported from Northern Ireland to work in the Govan shipyards that the sectarianism crept in. Rangers were the local club, Queen's Park were on the wane, so to Ibrox they went. It was, I suppose, convenient too that the club played in blue. After the Easter Rising in 1916, this feeling was strengthened, and it was not long before the club itself accepted the rather unpleasant associations with 17th. century politics. Indeed, I had an uncle who played for Rangers in the 1930's, and before he was signed the family tree was checked on both sides to make sure he was 'pure blood'. However, let us not forget that Rangers origins have nothing to do with religion whatsoever, despite what the idiots might think, and that whoever ends up running the new club will realise this, and get rid of the stigma which has carried on from the the defunct Rangers Football Club. "Where Celtic's background is unacceptably Roman Catholic" Bigots will always let their masks slip it seems. Rangers has always been the club for moronic bigots from societies lowest dregs, looking to be part of a pretend "master race" to counter their own real life failings. They will never change and the sooner they are bankrupted for good, the better. Edited February 28, 2015 by WaffenThinMint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 By you reckoning it being the work of Man U/Liverpool fans then I'm guessing you are indeed referring to Northern Ireland. Why then is that at all relevant in trying to get a word outlawed in Scotland when the overwhelming evidence shows it simply relates to Rangers here. Here's a couple of examples to prove the point. Paul Le Guen - Rangers' first Catholic manager - '***' Jock Stein - Celtic's greatest ever manager and a Protestant - Non '***' In the early 80's, brothers Tom and Colin McAdam faced each other in Old Firm games and due to the 'policy' at Ibrox it's a fairly safe bet that they were both Protestants but only Colin was a '***'. Case closed. I definitely remember when Alfie Conn went to Celtic, their fans sang "He used to be a Hûn but he's alright now". He didn't change religion, he changed clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Sanchez Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 FFS. What his this got to do with BRALT? There are celltic v rangers threads and a million other specialised sites for this sort of shite. I come on here to see if: 1. Are they deed yet? 2. To laugh, with fellow fans of 'Diddy Clubs' about the fucking carnival of fuckwittery that's been camped at ipox. Engaging with the knuckle-draggers is diluting the content. So, are they deed yet, will Charles Green/Thingie Whyte be at the AGM and what colour will the gazebo be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedandydons Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 This attempt to ban the word h** by Rangers fans must be a new low for them. Now I must confess am not fully up to date with the Celtic song book and am sure there will be lots of songs you can object to. However I am not aware of any songs that use the word h** in a sectarian way. For example up to their knees in a h** blood. As others have pointed out if h** is a term to refer to Protestants then it could be used to describe fans of most clubs. I am Protestant and support Aberdeen but have never been called this. What next should Aberdeen fans object to be called sheep sh**gers? If Rangers fans want to have a go at Celtic surely they could concentrate on their terrorist glorification songs that some of their fans sing. If they can get them banned they would be doing everyone a favour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 You shower of sad pathetic tedious c***s !! Arguing about religion on a football forum. f**k OFF WITH THIS PISH !!!!

The fact that 'Rangers' fans are pigs-in-shit happy to ping-pong the issue back and forth as it deflects from the chaotic clusterfuckery that surrounds their club / company / ethereal concept. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngsy Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 They were playing at the Falkirk Stadium, not Starks. Starks was last week. Do keep up. Agree with your final point. Another season in the cauldron awaits....... Another season in the Championship might be the best thing that could happen to the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would one explain bestiality to one's child if, at a match, he/she asked 'What's a sheep shagger?' (I nearly put 'one's kid ' but that would just start a goat discussion) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
