  1. I smell more fines and more consequences. They'll dream something up, just wait and see.
  2. You can certainly use some methods to 'hide' your IP address. Given that I'm an IT Admin for a major UK university I ought to know something about these things. But none of these methods are completely foolproof and with the right tools and the right knowledge almost anyone can be found. But the interesting point I think is that making such comments in the future would at the very least require you to hide, with no guarantee that you would evade detection. However people with shameful attitudes should be made to hide I feel, until such times as the law finds other more appropriate and more direct ways to deal with them. It is clear that you assertion that I am a 'beast' is a derivative of the term 'bheast', previously used extensively on this forum to refer in a derogative manner to anyone that certain other members suspected as being either Catholic, or Celtic supporters or both. I assure you I am neither, but I think you should take into consideration that a change in spelling may not by itself imply a change in the sematics (meaning) of your comment and may indeed be interpreted under certain circumstances as an openly sectarian insult. I invite you to consider your comments carefully, so that you can either amend them, or take greater care in the future before you abuse other members with similar terms. I think it's time you all caught up with reality. The game in this regard is over.
  3. I think your sense of smell must be a bit off mate, probably due to spending the last few decades with your head buried up your arse, lol. It's funny to see how afraid you are to really say what's on your mind however. From my perspective I would call that a win. Anyway don't forget who has really come out on top here. This isn't just a win for me, but a win too for all of the people who are nothing more than good loyal Rangers supporters, of no faith, mixed faith or any faith, who have come on these forums in the past and who have made perfectly reasonable comments, only to put up with a tirade of (often misdirecxted) secterian abuse, from a small but extremely vocal minority of the forum's membership. Like it or not, you are not at liberty to do that any more. Also you need to get used to the idea that not all Rangers fans support your small minded secterian perspective and that the majority of us are only interested in football. The whole religion and Catholic and Protestant thing means nothing to us at all. This is the kind of future I would like to see my club build, and I would like also to see many of the attitudes that have been expressed here in the past consigned to the dustbin of history. Don't worry if this is over your head, or if somehow the things I've said 'don't compute'. By the time this comes to pass, most of you will have been left long behind anyway.
  4. I think you are pathetic that's what I think. I think it's long overdue that FoCUS turn their attention to these forums and to the forums of opposing fans too. This was one last little hiding hole for the bigots of the world. It wouldn't be allowed on the streets, it defifinately isn't allowed on the stadiums, so why on earth should it be allowed here? Because you imagine that you have anominity? I gurantee you however that you don't. Your IP is being logged and it's your IP address that points directly back to you. There never has been any implicit right to racially abuse people, or to abuse them based on their gender, religion, or sexual orientation. In fact there has been legislation in place since the early 1970's, as well as more recent legislation to prevent this. The problem is most of you guys have been living in the stone age and are only just catching up now. Welcome to the 21st century guys! I know it might take some adjusting, but the results will be worthwhile I think.
  5. Well I never knew they existed before today. But it's interesting to note that they've been reading too. What's the big deal anyway? All they have said is 'clean up your act'. It shouldn't exactly be a difficult thing to do.
  6. No it isn't funny. It was never funny to start with. This measure isn't meant to be funny either. I think the point is that it's meant to be damned serious. People should learn to be responsible for what they say, or face the concequences. The only thing that is funny is that once you take away some people's ability to throw secterian and extremely offesive abuse at each other, just how little else they have to say. But even that is just funny in a deeply disapointing and depressing way. It's funny for me because I have been the victim of exactly that kind of sustained abuse on this forum in the past, despite not even being Catholic and not caring about religion at all. From my own perspective and due to my own past personal experiences here, it seems to me that justice has been served. Now people will have no choice but to discuss things civily with each other. They couldn't do it before the law stepped in, so maybe now at last that can change.
  7. For the right price, I say go for it I guess. If it just helps pay the wage bill, then that would be worth it on it's own. I don't have the same emotional attachment to a name like the Newcastle fans did. Mind you St. James Park is a huge place in Newcastle, with a big public park attached to it too (also called St James Park.) It was and is an actual real place, so it was a bit like trying to rename Govan, to something like "Sports Direct". It literally made no sense.
  8. So OK, do you guys think it's a good idea, a bad idea or are you indifferent like Ally? http://www.football....ss3623704.shtml Personally I'm verging on the side of indifferent. It wouldn't bother me that much if the name was changed. It would be better maybe if any name change still had iBrox in it, but I would rather we had money to buy new players than worry too much about a name. BTW I'm glad the dumb voting system seems to have gone, since people just used it as a way of beating each other over the head. Now people will have no choice but to say why they agree, or disagree with a post. Much better!
  9. I find it quite funny. For someone who was hounded off this forum previously and who was called all sorts of things, simply because I said I was a Rangers fan who didn't support secterianism, it's amusing to see what the prospect of a jail sentence will do to people's posting habits. It's funny to read through the forum and see people avoid using words like ta*g and a whole bunch of other words that people here thought they could get away scot free (pun intended) with using. I have been called 'ta*g' and much worse and I did find it genuinely offensive, despite the fact that I am not a Caltholic and in fact have no religion whatosoever. I can only imagine how offensive someone who is Catholic must find this term. (Just as a black guy would find a white guy calling him ni**gger offensive). The real travesty I think is that so many grown men must be compelled to behave decently and civily towards each other. Hopefully many of the opinions expressed here in the past will now increasingly become a smaller and smaller part of this club's great history. In case anyone is confused about what I am saying, I think it's fine to hate Celtic (as I do) and to dislike or feel rivalry towards fans of other teams because of their support for those clubs. But it should be totally unnacceptable to hate other people based on their religion (or the colour of their skin, or anything else like this.) I couldn't work out when reading through the forums today for the first time in a few months what was going on and why so many of the posts seem to have been cleaned up. Now I understand. I guess you will have to find new ways to abuse the non-secterian fan base of this club. (Who BTW I believe really are the majority.) The biggest complaint so far seems to be "Oh no, does that mean I will actually have to think about what I say before I say it??" Lol. I guess this will require some people here to engage their brains, if that's possible.
  10. It seems to me that you would prefer to just sweep it under the carpet. Nice way to deal with it. For a man with a low reputation of calling people Tims, you are excelling yourself here. Anyway, it's late guys. Get some rest. We can pick this up any time you want.
  11. Well I really am going to turn it in for the night. It's been a lot of fun boys. I've been pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. There are clearly a lot of fans who care as passionately about this club and who are just as sick of all the bigotry as I am. Before I started this exercise I wasn't so sure. But now I'm positively encouraged. I think you guys think you somehow worry me, or that maybe you can scare (or intimidate) me off, lol. But I tell you something for free now. That's total bollocks. All I feel for you in pity. With such small minds and such narrow perspectives, I find it staggering how you're even able to function. But such is life. I'm pleased RFC seem finally to be back on the road to health and recovery. I will never back down from saying I hope that it is a healthy, long standing and honourable recovery and one that all rangers fans everywhere can be proud of. Nor will I ever back down from speaking out about sectarianism and intolerance wherever I encounter it. Meanwhile all you guys can get back to singing the sash, or whatever else it is that makes you happiest. I mean after all in the eyes of the rest of the civilised world, it really does make you seem cultured, considerate and tolerant. It's such a great advert for Scottish football! So what the hey, go for it. As someone else said on here, you sing your songs and I'll sing mine. We'll get to see in the end I guess, who sings both the loudest and the longest.
  12. Lol, so England isn't part of the Union? You're only a loyalist when it suits you? Pray tell, what about all the other fans scattered across the world? Are they no longer welcome either?
  13. It isn't just two matey. There are clearly a lot more people out there who are as sick of all of the bigotry and hatred (both from Rangers fans and Celtic fans) as I am. Nice try though. Come back when you can learn to count beyond single digits.
  14. You got me wrong son. The first Rangers game I ever attended was on my Dad's shoulders in 1972. If you want to throw your hand in with this lot, then feel free.
