Call me old fashioned, but cunts turning up in a full celtic strip to lay a scarf is ambulance chasing at its best, and I'd say the same if some idiot done the same for a celtic player. Ricksen personified one of our greatest assets of 'no one likes us, we don't care'. He loved to be hated, and hated he was. But Rangers loved him and he loved Rangers. 18 hours ago, LegendofCoop said: I'll delete this if folk think it an inappropriate place to say it. But. The sight of Lawell being applauded by bears made me feel sick. I understand why they did applaud, and am not criticising them directly. It just didn't sit right with me. Lennon is an ar*e, hate his antics but at least I think he would be genuine. Not the puppet master though. That was a point scoring stunt (just need to see the number of journos that 'just happened to be there'). LikeI say, I'll delete this if it's the wrong place/time to say this. They have enough Ambulances of their own to chase. They would have been far better publicly condemning some of the sick shit posted by tarriers in the last week or so and since Wednesday morning.

Marky. 6,924 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I’m quite happy to separate football rivalry from the reality of the situation in this instance. The TV cameras were there, yes, the press were there, yes. They may have been there to see Lawell and Lennon’s tribute, but they were there for Fernando Ricksen. That meant a lot, and is rightfully a news story due to the magnitude of the rivalry. They have acted respectfully, and hate them as we do, they can be respected back for that by me - this was for him.

Brubear 2,920 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I was initially concerned that he was being made a bit of a spectacle of at his 40th birthday in Benidorm with everyone wanting a photo opportunity. However he later said he got energy and a purpose to his life out of these events and he was able to forget he was ill during these events. I was much more comfortable with it after that.

MartinGers93 388 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Definitely the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever watched I don’t know why I done it to myself tbh. I will be at Ibrox tomorrow with my dad to pay our respects to a legend who gave us some of the best days of our lives.
