Clangers Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 2 hours ago, VincentGuerin said: Yes, the idea of maturing out of bigotry must seem really bizarre to the Old Firm supporter. Nope, I moved to the East and when my boy turned 7 and asked to go to his first match I happily went to East End (brought up a Celtic fan). He’s coming up for his 200th game at 15 and we have a great time bonding and travelling home and away every weekend. I never liked the bigotry anyway but it’s refreshing to not here it at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 This is all a bit toxic now tbh, but the biggest issue with comparisons to other fanbases, which does need to be aired here, is that in Rangers case, it is 100% NOT a minority. That's a problem however yoy want to cut this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a great many in far flung corners of the country do so because they win most of the time, and doing so acquires them a stake in the prevailing media narrative about what our game is apparently for. I do think it's possible to find things distasteful about who you support but remain on board. Parhaps up to a point. However I believe that the pandering to secterian sentiment from Rangers for financial gain - orange tops etc - is so overt that you simply cannot be against secterian bigotry and religious tribalism and support them. Rather than sweep this garbage away Rangers seem to have doubled down on it in recent years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you get older you must be very much aware of the sectarianism that goes along with supporting your club, but I'd find it a particularly uncomfortable experience when you get to a certain age having started a family, carrying on supporting The Rangers when taking your kids to football games. Why inflict that sort of unpleasantness on them when they can have a much more enjoyable sectarian free experience supporting other teams, with you taking them along to games. My next door neighbour was a Rangers fan and stopped going to their games for exactly that reason, and took his son to Livi games instead, and they're now both ST holders at Livi. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a problem however yoy want to cut this I think it probably is a minority amongst people across the country who identify as a Rangers fan. However, this includes a sizeable amount of people who, when it boils down to it, aren’t really that arsed about football or the club and will only watch derbies, cup finals or European games. Amongst the regular match going fans (the kind of people who invest a lot of time and money into following the club home and away and make Rangers an integral part of their personality) it absolutely is not a minority, and I think anyone with eyes/ears knows this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meeker Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Can't believe I'm getting involved, but can't avoid it. I support Dundee United. My wife supports Rangers.

No. You should stop supporting your son and leave your wife then going by a certain moon howlers logic.

Some things in life don't have a black and white answer. Funnily enough, I posed a similar question to said moon howler in a previous conversation on the matter. Surprisingly (or not), when I asked if they cut off family members and friends/colleagues from their life because they supported Rangers (and they were therefore bigots), the answer was no. "But that's different" was the response IIRC. Edited September 12, 2023 by AJF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
