Willie Waddell is interviewed as Rangers Director and General Manager and out comes this. “People eat and sleep Glasgow Rangers. Supporters go home on a Saturday night and if the Rangers lose they give their wife a bashing about. It’s more than just a focal point to hang their supporting instincts on, it’s part of their life. They grew up with it.” All said with a matter of fact tone of voice and a smile on his face. 10 hours ago, Dons_1988 said: This is exactly the kind of content this thread was designed for. Thank you. I’m not entirely sure who’s whooshing who here but you do realise the content (that I’ve not seen) seems 50 years old? Spoken by a man who’s probably recollecting the previous 40 years of experience? Influenced by the stories of even his elder generation? I'm fairly sure a good/poor catch on the trawler may well have had a similar outcome from those times? No doubt some statto will be along to try and debunk but I don’t think that sort of viewpoint even close to reality these days. A lazy trope of continuing to perpetuate a fallacy by lending it credence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lazy trope of continuing to perpetuate a fallacy by lending it credence. This is gold. Claiming domestic violence is a fallacy then refusing to be proven incorrect by facts. It's also deeply offensive to women and my mother was a woman, so that's enough Follow Follow for today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
