BinoBalls Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Scotland is also a nation which has been in Union with England for over 300 years now , we also defended ourselves from the Romans and Vikings so why not sing a song to mention those aswell . the song in question is also a song about defence and struggle so again another diddy shooting himself in the foot again What's it got to do with Rangers Football Club?

Monkey Tennis Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Yes, that's cause you're a gloryhunter who chooses guaranteed success and the chance to get it right up everyone else, and gloryhunters don't want to entertain any rational thoughts - such as the ability to afford players that all but Celtic cannot - that may lessen the joy they desperately crave. Spot on. I'm starting to feel guilty about the part I've played in eliciting some of Tedi's confessions here about his football supporting motivations. Just cripplingly embarrassing revelations now.

Nothing to do with the club but it's no great secret that over the years a large part of the Rangers support has been made up unionist , loyalists or Protestants is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Same age as you, the only difference I have not turned into a miserable old c**t as I get older. Is being an unquestioning, triumphalist simpleton really preferable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just feel we should be move on past this stuff. Same way the word that rhymes with 'bun' has no place in a modern Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's divisive and it excludes people based on their background. Why on earth would you have no problem with such aspects of the club's identity being re-affirmed in song?

Monkey Tennis Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Not bitter at all are you I am a bit. I'm bitter about what two clubs have been allowed to do with our national sport. It's what's made the last few years rewarding beyond measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BinoBalls Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Your a bitter wee scrote, deal with it, Why does this matter to you so much? seems to me that you are the one taking it seriously. Thank you so much for being rattled. You may have noticed from my post count of 700 in 10 years, versus your 19,000 in 3 years, that my life revolves an awful lot less around this forum that yours does. I'm just intrigued as to why a grown man who claims its "only the Internet" would log on here 365 days a year to habitually green dot someone he doesn't know ("only a dot" ), and would go about deleting old posts in case they came back to bite him? Do tell. I know which one of us is taking this place seriously, and it sure as shit ain't me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'm describing the true definition of the word "envy". Or have we to intentionally misinterpret words to suit our argument?........... First you say you don't envy the success of the others clubs because you could simply choose to support them, then you say have actually envied the success of clubs such as St Johnstone and Caley Thistle. Which is it?.... I've explained it.I feel a gentle but enjoyable envy for those who back their clubs with no great expectation of success, but who occasionally turn over a trump card, safe in the knowledge that such fun is unlikely to return anytime soon, perhaps ever. I feel nothing of the sort however, for those who backed a team because it wins a lot, when it wins a lot. As I've said, few joys can be more hollow.

I probably have more justification to sing Irish stuff than most OF fans, yet I feel no great connection to that country, nor is it in any way enhanced when I pass through a turnstile to watch a Scottish league or cup football match.

BinoBalls Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 You know monkey is in a fizz when even he is resorting to pointing out spelling mistakes It's not your spelling he's taken issue with. It's the redundancy of the word "over". I.e the word "exaggeration" is all you need, rather than "over exaggeration". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
