WilliamBragg Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 My club hasn't been able to play since Christmas and us fans are desperate to see us. Yet what do I see outside Ibrox? One of our players joining in the celebrations. Thanks for helping the lockdown going and me not seeing my team. Not fit to wear the jersey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik's tongue Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 2 hours ago, G51 said: 1) Describing the actions of any person as pond life is classism. It's a term people use to describe folk they consider to be an underclass of society. This attitude absolutely needs called out. Also, if breaking lockdown restrictions makes you pond life, then we all are. Every single person will have broken the rules at some point. That's the thing with emergency laws - they're incredibly taxing to live under, and 100% compliance isn't really expected in practice. All you can realistically ask of people is that they risk assess their actions correctly. My assessment of yesterday was that previous celebrations for other clubs have shown that it's low-risk, especially given the age profile of people attending, so I don't really give a f**k that people did it. 2) I'm in my 20's. I'm not responsible for the failures of previous generations to tackle sectarianism - that's on them. My view is we need to do all we can to eradicate it, and Rangers have made good commitments on this with making Everyone Anyone front and centre of the fan experience being a great start. I fully believe that the club intends to do what it can and it will have my support in that - I will do whatever I can to help eradicate it. It would be absolutely foolish though to think that Rangers and Celtic, and those clubs alone, can eradicate sectarianism from Scotland and Northern Ireland. That's not how this works. I also think expecting Rangers and Celtic to eradicate sectarianism when Northern Ireland was disintegrating into civil war was probably! unrealistic! imo! There is zero danger of season tickets being taken away for this, and rightly so. Otherwise, where do you draw the line? Every time someone breaks the law, they get their season book taken away? A truly crazy idea rooted in authoritarianism. We have no evidence at all to suggest that the Kent variant means it is unsafe for people to socialise outdoors. Most folk attending George Square yesterday would have been between 16 -30. I'd wager there were far more people that attended protests in support of BLM than protecting statues in last nights crowd. Claiming that I'm defending neo-nazi's is extremely funny though, I'll give you that. I think when we're getting to the stage where "Rangers fans are Nazis" is the discourse then we're probably done here. ^^^^ Pond life imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralstonite Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I cannot believe the sanctimonious b*****ds on here. I have no love for Rangers - unless I'm trying to troll @shull, that is - but give it a rest with the 'holier than thou' attitude! Rangers have just won the league for the first time in ten years, so of course their fans are going to be jubilant and want to celebrate. A guy in work has just shown me two gofundme accounts that have raised thousands to pay for any damage caused, which was likely accidental. People have been in lock down for most of the last year, and most of the vulnerable should now have received their vaccines, so I don't believe it will have been that damaging in terms of the Covid situation. Congratulations to Rangers. They have been great this season and thoroughly deserve the league title. It makes me all the more proud that we're the only club to beat youse. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when we're getting to the stage where "Rangers fans are Nazis" is the discourse then we're probably done here. If you're going to talk about "classism" what I find particularly interesting then is that the vast majority of Rangers fans (seen as part of the whole club "identity") are in thrall to the monarchy and royal family - pictures of the monarch in the dressing room, banners congratulating William and Kate ("Born to Reign Over Us"). Surely if you want to call out snobbery you should denounce all this kind of attitude. There's a pretty hideous irony there. The UK is a class obsessed country which probably stems from the persistence of the monarchy and royal family. Personally I think "working class" and "middle class" are obselete, you either work or you don't. I don't have any personal antipathy towards people who support Rangers but the fact is that the rest of us are not obliged to pretend any respect whatsoever for Rangers FC, in any incarnation, as an institution. Most people in Scotland do find it difficult to relate to the subcultures of Rangers/Protestant/Unionist/Loyalist versus Celtic/Catholic/Irish Republican. Although most of these fans probably do not practice any faith at all. Rangers and Celtic could be described as hate groups, and I think it would be difficult to be a fan of either without participating in this in some way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
