Went back and read it again. Then decided I better check my understanding of satire. Satire; the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. What stupidity or vices are being criticised or exposed here? I don’t believe this is an attempt at satire. At least not any form of satire that I have ever understood. I think it’s just a hatchet job by a blogger with an inferiority complex trying to bring down the big bad Rangers a peg or two and suggest they need to be under the heel for a little bit longer smartypants, ritchieshearercaldow, Bobby Hume and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears 791 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 29 minutes ago, The Dude said: Of the current guys, yes. Previous staff haven't all been Rangers fans. The guy i replaced at the start of the year wasn't. Most are writing stuff this is consistently not anti-Rangers. Who do you think is consistently writing anti-Rangers stuff? So do I get you right that you are saying most journalists do not write anything with an anti-Rangers slant/bias? Just for the sake of calibration here, which journalists do think are biased against Rangers then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I don't pay attention much to the names writing crap but I'm looking for any name that is worth following. And regarding your second sentence, if that's how you converse on a forum, I've lost interest in your opinion.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
