But they must feel at odds with the prevalent viewpoint among our support, especially in a social setting. And - whilst folk can hold whatever opinion they want - its hard for many Bears not to feel disappointed/let down by fans who support a party/movement/agenda that is so clearly antagonistic towards our club and traditional values. Or maybe thy are just blind to the obvious? The ones I know (I can only talk about the ones I know, but it makes sense to me that this is how Nationalists will view it) don't feel at odds because they don't feel that's what they're there for, so they don't care what everyone else thinks politically or nationalistically (If that's a word). It doesn't bother them that folk think differently, any more than it would if a work colleague did because going to the football isn't an expression of politics to them. Nor do they care if it is to other people. I think you have to always remember that none of these people are seething nationalists. Seething nationalists probably wouldn't go because they'd feel at odds. Frankly (and this is my opinion, not theirs) if it bothers folk that some fans support Scottish Nationalism, and they can't handle folk voting, in a democracy, for what's best for them and their circumstances, then that's their problem. Regards being blind to the obvious, no. Some are disappointed by the SNP's actions towards us us and waver because of it. Others are disappointed but don't waver. Both still support nationalism for far, far bigger and better reasons than what's good for their football club (quite rightly so) , and that is the thing that a lot of other Rangers fans stubbornly refuse to understand. Whether they're right in the choices they make in relation to those other reasons is a completely different matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same singleminded xenophobic bigoted belief inside their party that stretches far beyond just Rangers FC. So in a nutshell those that don’t waver are so blinded by that one goal of independence they will stomach anything their party will do. That is a very dangerous stance to take in any society and should be shunned. You talk about democracy there, we had a democratic vote they lost.

Get up in the morning, bacon roll and head out the door for a few beers with the mates and head up to the game not giving a fuck about any other team or what they do or say. some want to do more, say more, act more - than just watch the fitba and that's also fine. There is nothing anybody from any party/council etc can do if we score more goals than the opposition on the day we play them and win stuff, cups, leagues and the like, that is good enough for loads of people and that should be respected by fellow bears.

Aye I fear for our support too, when only a small section of our support contribute to any sort of atmosphere in Ibrox for a full 90mins at every home game. I play my part. No doubt you just sit quietly throughout the game before pissing off 20mins early, that's if you even go. Part time-supporter at best, but more likely an obsessed taig.
