tannerall 25,935 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I was up early this morning and followed the breaking story of the shocking T shirts at Burtons.Now instead of just sitting back and accepting this deliberate slight on our club and its traditions, poster after poster went straight to source and defended our club by complaining and putting pressure on those at Burton and Arcadia responsible for this massive insult to the club and fans.Within a short time Burton had quite correctly, and to their credit, removed the offensive T shirts and issued an apology.Contrast with our club's failure to hit back at our critics and those who would do us harm.The club should learn from RM posters to stand up and show,commitment and integrity against our enemies and mockers, and also grow some balls, fight fire with fire where necessary in order to rectify and prevent the constant slights heaped on us by the media and football authorities. Perhaps then the haters will learn to back off and show respect.RM posters. Congratulations on a job well done. :clap: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 In only supporters that care about a slight like this - and we have no supporters in the boardroom. They think themselves above the petty squabbling of the hoi polloi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBear. 8,499 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 If the club responded to all the insults and snidey digs we'd never get anything else done.These type of fights belong to the fans. We have the passion, leave the suits to the business. No laughing now.Would be nice for the club to support the fans in serious issues, but I wouldn't say it should be compulsory for every slight.

stuvah 146 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 albear is right, the club has to pick it's battles and not get bogged down in th mundane crap the begghars pull dailythis is one battle that should be fought though and thankfully the club is looking into doing just that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

govanblue 16,847 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yeah, that's the one I was refering too. Seemed pretty legit to me. Apologies if incorrect.Amounts to the same thing either way. Companies usually tend to just paste the official statement text into their response emails.So no doubt that exact wording will appear officially elsewhere. I hope Rangers also look at more than just any rights infringement issues though, and that they look also at the distress caused, and the possibility of a malicious motive.
