cushynumber 25,178 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I read many rod liddle articles, and he genuinely articulates what I cannot. Not every time. But most of the time. What he fails to mention however, is the recent coalescence of the "somewheres" into groups who realise what is happening around them, and are strengthening their bonds because of it.

McEwan's Lager 30,256 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 That was a good read. I feel that Rangers have, and to be fair Scottish football in general, has resited this temptation. The only Scottish club to be truly gentrified in the last 10 years has been Thistle. Sometimes I'm glad we are not in the Premier League despite us getting further away from the elite. The demonisation of our support base would be much worse if we were down south and part of that billion £ TV deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I've never lived in Glasgow, my father was from Glasgow, but he never had any interest in football. It was my brothers that had me supporting Rangers, apart from some results, I wouldn't change a thing.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman36 3,453 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Pretty much sums up the ridiculousness of the agenda against us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Terrific read that. He writes everything I feel and he does so in a way I never could, will keep following this guy's stuff now Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
