kildog Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'll give an honest reply here and it may be one that a few Bears disagree with. I admire Chris. He has done a huge amount of work to engage the fans/support/money and his engagement in our recent change of board/ownership is creditable. He has my admiration. Here's the bit where I depart from a fair-few fellow Bears: Stop with the boycotts and boycotting Stop with banning and 'withdrawing press privileges' Stop with making martyrs out of journalists Stop regarding The SFA and The SPFL as the enemy. My Rangers are leaders and we have to be more broad-shouldered than this petty shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE KING Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Yup. I am firmly of the view that the challenger is the dick. Had I been accused of sittinggate I'd have said, simply, "No, I stood". End of story. The grey and green hordes and their fellow travelers (like you) need to call hauners and lawyers. Doubt it, If you're accused of using an apostrophe wrongly you spend a week on here greetin about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 You've made a kunt of it again young sir. Had he done merely that, we'd be left wondering whether he did stand or not and the rumour would have gained a significant hold among those inclined to believe ill of him. The seriousness of the charge merited the swiftness and weight of the response. What he's done here is disabuse people of the notion, while putting Graham in his nasty little place.Cheers for the STV offer, but I'll give it a miss, thanks.Well its down to differing opinions again, I felt that he doth protested too much. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I like The Rangers mentality. Reporter submits report of sectarian singing to his boss. Boss runs it as a headline, not the reporters choice. Do the Rangers fans slate those in their fanbase for sectarian singing? No! Slate the reporter for reporting the truth. He's got it in for us. Confirmed bigot tweets a derogatory statement regarding a reporter disrespecting a recently passed player. Do the Rangers fans slate said bigot for tweeting a lie? No! They jump on the reporter. He's wan ae thaim, after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh aye, what were the songs that were sung? Mind you, that appeals more to the prurient so-called football fans on here who care little for kick-ball but looking for ways to be offended or to indulge in sweetie-wife title tattle. Which segues neatly to Peter Onesie Martin who needs to cite his big pals and his lawyers over the simple issue if he stood or sat. In normal society he'd rightly be regarded as a self-important buffoon but amongst the febrile Ps&Ds he's becoming something of a cause célèbre. So were Chris Mclaughlin and Peter Martin right? Yes, of course, Does their self-indulgent, pompous narcissism strike a chord with the needy, emotionally undernourished, small-dicked fandans who hang on every word from such dolts? Absolutely.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez. I'd actually say that your descent was now complete, were I not sure that I'd be tempting fate. You probably can post something even more embarrassing and might yet do so. It won't be easy though. I'd never heard of This Martin bloke until the last few days and I doubt if he's of huge consequence. Your suggestion however that this is all about whether he "stood or sat", while divorcing that from context, is just ridiculous and you really don't need me to tell you why. It's like implying that a gunman's actions can be reduced to a judgement in terms of whether he moved his finger. Your concluding paragraph, I'll just leave alone as a monument to your spiteful, yet impotent idiocy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does seem very close to saying that - Rangers fans should be able to tell lies* about whoever they like, without the people that they tell lies about getting annoyed, and also - that Rangers fans are absolutely correct to throw their toys out of the pram and hurl a hissy-fit, if broadcasters tell the truth about them. That is, you seem to be claiming what looks to be an unlimited right to tell whopping great porkies yourselves, while also forbidding others from reporting the truth, if their manner displeases you. And any objections can only be motivated by spite, and are thus automatically illegitimate. Which is the kind of for-me-but-not-for-thee logic that you'd usually expect from children, rather than adults. *Or, charitably, make major mistakes. "Tell lies" seems more likely to me, but let's not leap to conclusions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
