Minutes applause for Mandela

[1st_Jan_1994 4,865]

Nobody will clap I hope it's a mins silence as we are not as low as the scum but I'm just gonna sit in bar72 until it's done as canny be fucked with any shite the day.

I'm in Bar72 today aswell mate we can both go in the bogs and squeeze out a shite during the minutes applause as our own tributes

[STEPPS BOY 18,520]

specifically who made the decision to have a minutes celebration accross Scottish leagues for Mandela?

The same person who ignored the remembrance weekend minute silences.

[elephants stoned 2,994]

Who gives a flying fuck about what the media think of us? Too many pussys in our support these days, whatever happened to no-one likes us, we don't care?

Not just the mhedia though GOAT the public in general and people who know little about us but will form opinions on us based on what could be worldwide bad publicity, the wank ers at the sfa probably requested this tribute just because they knew some of our supporters would give them what they wanted more reasons to hate Rangers, i would not put it past them to fine us or sanction us for any booing especially coming a week after the flare incident, got to be clever sometimes.

No ones ever received a fine for booing

If they did then appeal it

Doubt they even can - technically the games not started

[OzzieBear 68]

Just because you are a "government" does not make your actions justified.

[Kopter 310]

It has no place at a football game in Scotland, nobody really gives a fuck so it will be the most hollow and insincere gesture ever.

Roy MacGregor, under duress from Lieswell?

Nobody had ever been fined for being insolvent either till we were, the point is do you want this weekend to be about another great performance by Rangers and a great win or do you want it to be about "Rangers fans in sick racist anti - Mandela chants" which is exactly the overblown, sensationalist and totally inacurate headlines we would get worldwide as the whole world is in fake mourning for a old man who had been expected to die for years but now its being made out like its such a shock. I understand your feelings about the hypocrisy of it but sometimes you have to take a step back.

[GOAT 16,477]

Are people really that scared of the media?

[BLUEDIGNITY 11,499]

On my way too bro. Liked the joke btw :-))

Enjoy Brother, am gonnae get blootered am fed up readin aboot clappin auld terrorists and rebels wae blazers !

[Bothwellbear 1,392]

Rangers play Ayr United today. This is a 4 page thread. Mandelas applause..... 25....

If you want to applaud ..... applaud. If you don't..... don't, But no one should do anything that would make the club look bad. We are under a massive microscope right now, and it would be unbelievably suicidal to besmirch this two minutes. I for one will be applauding.

Still don't care tbh

Showing displeasure against praising a dead terrorist > Bad media headlines / possible but unlikely fine

All day long

Shock horror

[mearns loyal 1,330]

spent the morning in the attic hunting for them. Success. Now am off to the game with my ginormous foam hands for the clapping...

[elephants stoned 2,994]

Im scared of all the goodwill we built up during admin and the journey when we broke world records weekly with our astonishing attendence rates, disappearing in a sea of bad publicity but worse bad feeling, i dont much care what the rheble or thebeeb say but this isnt a parocial Scottish/ Northern Iron issue this is worldwide and you will be doing the bheasts work for them by booing or disrespecting any tribute.

[Bothwellbear 1,392]

Bad publicity is bad for Rangers. It really is very very simple.

We are in a position where we need further investment, continual bad publicity will damage this. Companies also do not want attached to a club that will be deemed as "racist" by the media if this mark of respect is besmirched. This will have problems when it comes to sponsorship. It really is very simple. The media is a problem.

You say dead terrorist, the world says dead hero, im not debating whos right or wrong but this action would look as bad to the world as celtics hatred for Lee Rigby or muslims protesting at soliders funerals, thats how bad these actions will look.

We've never had any goodwill or good publicity up here from the media while working our way up

Do you really think people like Forfar and Stenhousemuir care aslong as we fill their stadiums?

[Bothwellbear 1,392]

Shock horror

We all know your hands will be far too low to the ground to be able to clap anyway.

I know I'm right though

[1st_Jan_1994 4,865]

And your tongue that far up our enemies and terrorists arses

Im not talking about the shithole of Scotland im talking about the guys that came from Japan, USA, New Zealand ect to report on the amazing Rangers support. Thats what matters not what some cunt like Britney or Keetch writes.

[The Big Sleeper 34]

I hate that minutes applause shite. Total Tim invention to hide the fact that those cunts can't keep their mouths shut for sixty seconds of their miserable little lives.

I'll be standing quietly while all around me pay tribute to someone by doing the same thing that we do when our team wins a corner kick.

[IndyBear 10]

Will be applauding.

One of the few hero's of our time.
