Solitaire Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Of what I've seen, Sportscene highlights, yeah not bad. Similar to how we played to win it 3 years ago. Fast with over lapping wing backs in a 4-2-1-3 formation. See, you can be nice. I'd talk to you about Thistle but this a Gers thread.... Looking forward to seeing us next season? Be honest now......I bet you are. Edited April 9, 2016 by Solitaire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm being honest as a Rangers season ticket holder. Why do you hate us? My friends and I have went all over the country supporting Rangers and been welcomed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you a story Dave, Rangers vs Hibs earlier this season, Ibrox....Rangers won 1-0....Tav freekick. I went by train with 4 of my friends. At Queen Street we met a solitary Hibs fan looking lost, he'd lost his mate and didn't know where to go. He seemed terrified but we chatted away, directed him to the subway, and saw him on his way to Ibrox. Didn't wish him well but left with smiles. We saw him again after the game, had a chat, he wouldn't go to the Louden for a pint...we offered. He was like...why are you being nice...you hate me...we're like don't be daft. He went on his way. We were all like is that what you lot think ffs? Edited April 9, 2016 by Solitaire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've known many rangers fans over the years. Some very nice folk, some have been nasty bigots. I've never hated any of them. Whilst we're sharing stories... I went to see Lloyd Cole at the Oran Mor with a Rangers supporting lad I worked with. Cracking lad, used to have some great football discussions in work. But one of the most bigoted folk you will meet. Don't hate him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've met Rangers fans who are Bigots...I've met Celtic fans who are bigots....I've met other Scottish football fans that are bigots. I've met fans that are a lot worse than either outside Scotland. You want to know the postscript to my story? I wondered what happened to that Hibs fan we looked after....so terrified of us for no reason but came to realise, we were ok. I had a look at what Hibs fans said after the game...we were sectarian scum, subhuman, Scotland's shame etc....etc....etc..... I saw no trouble....but you know....I wish....I really wish...that guy had said a group of Gers fans looked after him and saw him to and from the game. It's never said.....instead all we get is scum etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems though that in the last couple of years there's been an increased use of the term to describe any sort of "hatred".With that in mind, I don't know if I've been overly aware of Celtic fans hating Protestants. Do they? I just always thought they hated anyone who waves a Union Jack. I find Celtic fans weird though. I'm not generalising. Every one of them has a want about them. You know that way where they need to have a green car, green wallpaper? Walking out of the game the other week me and my mates were looking at them, thinking, what a bunch of oddities. Back to your point... The problem is though, until your fan base is eradicated of the scum who frequent it of which there are many, for a few hours every Saturday, you'll always be guilty by association I'm afraid.

The problem is though, until your fan base is eradicated of the scum who frequent it of which there are many, for a few hours every Saturday, you'll always be guilty by association I'm afraid. I have no opinion on Celtic fans seperate from other fans. I was called an "Orange Whore" once. Was I offended? No. It was football tribalism. Did I feel threatened? No, it was words. That was one guy in half a dozen visits to Celtic. I've had twice as much stick at Hearts lol. You say guilty by association....I guess that's true in your and many eyes. For supporting a football team? Really? In 2016? Is the problem mine or yours Dave? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
