RANGERS can today confirm that Allan McGregor has rejoined the club on a two-year deal. The vastly experienced Scotland goalkeeper was recently named Hull City’s Player of the Year for 2017/18 and becomes new manager Steven Gerrard’s second signing following the arrival of midfielder Scott Arfield on Monday. Decent signing imo. Alnwick or Fods to leave? Personally I'd rather keep Fods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Day Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 19 minutes ago, The_Kincardine said: On P&B it is an unacceptable term. Rightly so. On P&B anti-Catholic slurs are unacceptable. Rightly so. The gist of your argument is that we encourage the use of the H word so we can use our own slurs. This is ridiculous. What utter tripe, stop conflating things for your own ends. I am, for what it's worth, a Protestant - nobody has ever called me a *** in my 50 years. I have been called a fe***n and a t**g by supporters of your team. Often. Their rationale (if we could call buckfast induced stupidity a rationale) is that I support Hibs. Jambos call us spoon burning jakies, but I don't go running to P&B mods about it. So, please don't get all "faux offended" by that term, it's not sectarian, and your fans have a brass neck suggesting it's anything other than a derogatory term for supporters of the old Rangers and the current tribute act. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's moronic shite for cretins. If you think the majority of Rangers and Celtic fans DO give a shit about religion, you're mistaken. 10 minutes ago, bennett said: Alnwick or Fods to leave?

Rangers don't go out and sign someone on what? £20k a week unless Fods is for the off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadful stuff from you. You almost never see Rangers fans on here 'dish out' sectarian terms. I can recall a small number of incidents over 12 years and these culprits have rightly been dealt with. I don't see, either, Rangers fans hiding behind the swear filter. I do see frequent use of one particular sectarian slur and many posters vaunting it. This is unacceptable and shame on you for trying to explain it away. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what his wages will be, if we want to improve the squad strength then I've always felt more assured with Fods in goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no connection whatsoever and is a term used against all fans of The Rangers equally, regardless of their religious background.

Fods is defo better than Alnwick but I don't get the impression fods is the type of keeper who'll sit on the bench just so he can say he plays for Rangers. (as I expect Alnwick would) Hence, I expect McGregor and Alnwick next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On P&B there are disproportionately few Rangers fans and if they had inclinations towards bigotry, the moderators keep them in line - you're an unrepresentative sample and you're on your best behaviour. It's very, very, easy to find examples of mass bigotry among Rangers fans sitting side by side with self-indignant outrage about the term '***' as you well know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can it be applied in a sectarian manner, when the subject around the term itself has no religious connection? You claim it's sectarian towards Protestants, despite the fact that it has absolutely no link to that religious sect, or any for that matter. Stop making things up to suit your clubs victimization agenda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
