Oranjebhoy Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Where do you start with this 'article' ? This weekend is very important as it marks the key point in the christian liturgical calendar. We are told that Jesus died on Good Friday only to rise again on Sunday. It is an inspirational tale and the very essence of christianity, there is life after death something which should give hope to all, not just defunct football clubs. In recent times it has been Rangers who have been on the cross with little signs of ressurection. With Sir David Murray playing the role of Pontius Pilate by washing his hands off the club for one single pound, he initiated the calamitous process which led to the death of a once proud club. On their metaphorical death march to Mount Calvary, Rangers and its followers have been spat upon, scourged and nailed to the floor. A motley collection of narrow self interest groups betrayed Rangers and Scottish football by playing the role of Judas Iscariot for a measly thirty pieces of silver. Judas did however have the good grace to kill himself after he realized what he had done. No such chance of Peter Lawwell and his cohorts at the SFA following suit. The simple truth is that we need Rangers in the same way we need organized belief in our daily lives. For many Rangers supporters Ibrox is their temple, the place where they come together to celebrate. A communion of brothers, yes there are interior divisions, but these are small sects, dissenters the likes of which thrived in Jesus's day. The Monty Python sketch in "The life of Brian" which shows the factional divisions, makes a very good point through brilliant comedy. There are at least four groups of Rangers fans who claim to represent " real Rangers fans", the truth is they are actually all the same, differences are tiny nuances rather than doctrinal, dogmatic opposites. Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalians and Anglicans make differ on matters of interpretation and practice, the point remains that they are essentially 'Protestant' in the literal sense of the word. They have absolutely nothing in common with the narrow strictures of the Roman Catholic faith with its adherence to Rome and a foreign religion. Rangers have risen alright in the shape of Dave King an unlikely saviour from across the seas. Preaching his own gospel, King (his very last name is richly symbolic) has looked across the River Jordan and he has seen the promised land. King has smote his enemies and emptied the Ibrox temple of debtors, doubters and those who covet purely money and profit. The King has risen, he has saved Rangers and will now save Scottish football. It is a matter of such urgency that Rangers must be admitted to the highest echelon of Scottish football. Not to do so would be an act of such self damage, that others including the very weak will suffer. This is how it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oranjebhoy Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Using foul and abusive language is the sign of someone who is losing the argument. Coming from Linlithgow, I am surprised you speak this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forkboy Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Poor form. Life of Brian doesn't contain sketches, it contains scenes because it is a coherent movie with an overarching plot. The squabbling Jewish revolutionaries are a recurring theme throughout the film. You need to work on your comedy film knowledge more and your shite analogies less.

sjc Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Celtic fan posts, less than halfway through he mentions Rangers. These people have nothing in their lives, do they? Seamus certainly doesn't.....we all knew that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heywood Floyd Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 It reads a bit like the kinda shite James Traynor used to pass off as journalism in the Record, except with more spelling mistakes. 'Organized' being the worst. Poor show. Edit, spelled Traynor wrong in a post highlighting spelling mistakes. The shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heywood Floyd Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Celtic fan posts, less than halfway through he mentions Rangers. These people have nothing in their lives, do they? They have Celtic, and Rangers. And the pie and bovril forum. Pretty much the same as what you have I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Scottish football needs a strong East Stirlingshire IMHO. Rangers have managed to effectively go bust twice which shows you that having large home crowds doesn't protect you from fly-by-night shysters.

Oranjebhoy Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hearts went bust too, if you hadn't already noticed. I welcome them back for a range of reasons. The atmosphere is always hostile when we go there, it is probably the best away ground in Scotland for us. Hearts to their credit held up their hands and recognized they had made mistakes and rebuilt patiently and with the right business model. They are now playing young players who are mainly Scottish and that has to be good. They will not beat Celtic in the long run, but they will make a challenge next year. If Hibs could get back to the SPL that would also be a big bonus, though they are massive bottle merchants when it matters. I have real fears that Rangers will go into administration again, they are being led and have been led by crooks for the last twenty five years. Each as bad as the rest.

No they didn't, unless you're going back 110 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
