That is actually last season's rangers kit. I think they only wore it once at killie, got embarassed and it was never seen again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we really celebrate the victory of a religious terrorists over throwing our monarchs? Sets a dangerous precedent imo shouldn’t give the pope or the Dali lama any ideas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I sometimes wonder why this event has become very tribal. Guy Fawkes was religiously and politically motivated, but is remembered by everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Fawkes was religiously and politically motivated, but is remembered by everyone. He didn’t win. We can all unite behind failures. Maybe people will eventually celebrate the Nazis invading and giving up the Channel Islands. As King William of Orange and his missus were the last successful military invasion of England that period of success is just not worth getting excited about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
