http://leggoland2.blogspot.com Sunday, 10 July 2011 FTP-RIP MUST BE THE CRY RANGERS supporters must give Craig Whyte the tools, in order that the new Rangers owner can finish the job he has started. Whyte has launched a real, prolonged and serious fightback against those who have had a free ride in recent years. That is, the enemies of the Ibrox club who have used a combination of black propaganda and friends in high media places, to slur and sully Rangers. But, and even taking into account the old regime’s supine behaviour in the face of these attacks, those enemies would never have had the chance to damage Rangers had some of the club’s fans not handed them the ammunition. And it is that supply of ammunition which must be cut off if the Whyte campaign is to be successful. In the wake of the problems stoked up for Rangers after Villarreal, I coined the slogan of FTP-RIP. Now, after those enemies of Rangers scored again, following the visit to Eindhoven last season, I merely remind the support of the slogan. And remind them that the signing of banned songs, such as the Billy Boys, will not only merely serve to get Rangers into even hotter and deeper water. Such conduct would also deprive chairman Whyte of the ammo he needs to fire volleys at those who seek to damage the club he supported as a wee boy, and finally bought a couple of months ago. Therefore, it is time for all good Rangers fans to rally to their club’s cause and to get behind Whyte and his campaign to attack those who have attacked Rangers. If they do not give and opening to those ranks of hate filled bigots who despise the Ibrox club, then Whyte’s hand will be strengthened. And Ibrox supporters can confidently await this owner, unlike the previous one, claiming a few scalps. For years Rangers fans have pleaded with those in charge to defend the honour of the club. In the past their pleas have fallen on deaf ears. But now the situation is changed and now there is a man in charge who will do just that. But he cannot do it without the help of those supporters. And nowhere is the behaviour of those who follow Rangers more important, than in Europe. Nowhere is it likely to be under greater scrutiny, than when they follow the team in Europe. Therefore, they should beware of any agent provocateurs in their midst. My advice to them would be that if they hear anyone trying to start up a chorus of the Billy Boys, then shout them down. Just because someone is in the travelling support, and has a Scottish accent on a Euro trip, does not mean they are a Rangers supporter. Be wary! Be suspicious! Take pictures and make sure they find their way to Rangers. But most of all, the message to Rangers real fans is…be on your best behaviour. Those are the sort of tools that will enable Craig Whyte to finish the job he has started in such impressive style.
