Aye, it's cold right enough.

Not in my mind mate. I wouldn't even look twice tbh because I'm not a fucking moron. I can tell the difference between a guy being proud of where he comes from and a terrorist sympathiser. Its not a hard disctinction to make really which is why its so mind boggling how easy it is for some of our support to do it.

At singing talks for a Jim Jeffries team he must just ask "Are you a dirty Bastard"?

You're probably asking the wrong person, really, as I've never been one for taking any flags to the football. But, in a purely hypothetical situation, if it was a display of support for one of our players who was doing well and it wasn't going to cause any trouble with other bears then I personally would have no moral issue with it at all... I've always made it clear that I don't really have an opinion on Northern Irish politics, I don't see it as anything to do with me, so what the flag means in that conflict of interests means nothing to me, therefore it is unlikely to inspire strong emotions in me either way. I'm just a Rangers fan.

This should really put an end to the whole discussion. The Republic of Ireland is not the same as Celtic Football Club or the IRA regardless of the perceptions of people who lack the mental capacity to distinguish between the three.

Do you just lack the objectivity to distinguish between that particular flag being used as the national flag of the Republic of Ireland (which surprisingly enough, contains many non-terrorists) and being used by the IRA? In this context, it would be being used to support a non-terrorist professional footballer from the Republic of Ireland, who happens to be playing out his skin for the Rangers at the moment. Having said that, your refusal to acknowledge that in this context it is a national flag and not a terrorist emblem is leading to some hilarious bamming up. So, as you were...

Too far.

As much as the scoreline today is not ideal, it does send out something of a message to the opposition, no matter how favourable circumstances look for them their leads are never safe. That's got to be intimidating in and of itself.

It is this kind of nonsense we need to get rid of. I truly believe there is no manager that would put up with the utter **** Ally has to on a daily basis. The club
dragged through the papers every day again sadly being made worse by some fans with their constant stupid banners, we want this person and this person out, god can't we just get back to supporting THE TEAM?? Which crook would you prefer?
We won 8-0 all that was in the papers was protests.

Totally agree, We have won every game and yet the first sight of trouble, the Ally Out clowns jump down his throat soon as they get a sniff of anything. It's pathetic. We are so f***** lucky to have Ally as our manager, sooo many would have left, do you think he needs this **** day in day out, course he doesnt but he loves the club. He will have been angry they were losing, but they came back, god it wasnt the end of the world, some of the nonsense being spouted on here was an embarrasment.
As Kenny said in the papers Ally McCoist has run Rangers for two years... one day he might get the credit he deserves, says Kenny McDowall

Well Done the players and Ally, it's that belief and determination we need, fighting for the shirt. :superally:

We will fight til the day is done, for there's not a team like the Glasgow Rangers, no, not one and there never shall be one!

First things first, before anybody bleats and whines about this being in the Bears Den it is relevant in here as it is about the Rangers support in general and posters on here (and other forums). I'm fully aware I'm not exactly the most popular guy on here and this post will no doubt further cement that but theres a few things that are really starting to get on my tits with regards to the supporters of OUR club. So without much further ado lets begin.
Supporters Groups
Where do you guys get off? Whilst I think most of them have their hearts in the right place is there really any need for 6 different supporters groups all wanting their five minutes of fame? Sons of Struth, VB, RST, RSA (X2), UB all make points occasionally that I'm sure most of us will all agree on. Some might not like the leadership of certain groups or the past actions of others but c'mon to fuck guys. Heres a novel idea. Instead of working away in loads of wee groups that the majority (and I do mean the majority) of Rangers fans couldn't give a flying fuck about. You are all pretty much irrelevant to most fans. We see statement after statement with your names attached but theres never any action from any of you. I'd love to see an exhaustive list of achievments of these groups. Do us all a favour. You say you want to help push our club forward and get back to our rightful place at the top table of football? Then put your petty fucking egos aside and work together.
No doubt someone will come along and blame it all on Dingwall. I'm far from a fan of Dingwall but there are others in our support who are just as divisive.
We are Rangers fans. At the end of the day I don't give a fuck about anyones politics, religions or sexual orientation. If they are a bluenose then thats good enough for me. I dont give a flying fuck if you met some no mark Norther Irish Politician for a chat on parades or if you went to great bother to organise a lovely wee publicity stunt that saw your members regularly appear on TV (invariably with nothing more than soundbites which change fuck all) Rangers isn't your wee plaything. She belongs to all of us. and our Fathers, and our Grandfathers. Stop speaking for your 200 members and work together to speak for the majority. Then and only then can we truly affect change at Ibrox.
Harrassment of other Fans
I've only posted hee for about 18 months but in that time I've seen some fantastic posters be forced off the board. Some that I agree with, some that I wouldn't agree with if they told me the time of day, but bluenoses nonetheless. Nobodies opinion is worth more than anyone else. This used to be a pretty decent forum where you could get a decent chat with bears from all walks of lfe and all corners of the globe. Now? Now its turned into a horrific little network of trolls, liars, fantasists and bullies. There are plenty guys on here I regularly disagree with on here (eh 1st_Jan_1994) but never should it descend into personal attacks on posters or in one instance their wifes religious beliefs. I have nothing against anyone telling me I'm wrong and showing me why, Thats the whole point of a forum but when it gets to the point where some posters only real contribution to the board is one word posts calling others 'prick' or 'cunt' or 'fenian' it gets to the point where you wonder why you even bother. If you dont agree with someone debate the point with them dont disregard their opinion and start throwing petty insults around like some fucking 8 year old. Christ, I've even had one poster on here (Resting in my account) bring up an incident from when I was 15/16 (I'm 27 in a few weeks) in an attempt to humiliate me. Sadly it didnt go well for him as after I finally remembered the mildly amusing episode from my school days I went on to share several other highly embarrasing episodes from a similar time. The very fact someone felt the need to bring up something as innocuous as me wearing a snorkel at school for a laugh (and getting plenty I might add)shows me just how highly some of the Rangers support thinks of their 'brethren'.
Child Abuse
Can we just fucking drop this. To make light of child rape in the manner a sizable section of our support do frankly sickens me to the pit of my stomach. Quick hypothetical question to all the parents here. Your child gets raped. Would you be quite happy for people to use it as a point scoring exercise on a FOTTBALL forum or twitter/facebook? What about having 50,000 singing a song essentially mocking the rape of YOUR child? Not like the sound of that? No? Didn't really think so. Its utterly fucking disgusting. Time for another wee story here. One of my closest friends was sexually abused by his/her mothers partner as a child (He's a bear by the way) and this is something that still affects their life to this very minute (25 years after the abuse stopped). If you feel THAT strongly about the cover up that apparently took place at Celtic then make a complaint to the cops. Dont fucking crow about it on twitter like some kind of moral fucking arbiter. You're just a cunt who uses the sexual exploitation of children as a punchline.
Just for reference, some of the other groups currently being/previously investigated for cover up of the abuse of children
The Royal Air Force
The Boys Brigade
The Church of England
ITV
I've never seen a single post on here by any of you pricks who are so opposed to it you need to mention it every third post. But its nothing to do with point scoring. Its almost as if you are obsessed with the thought of child abuse you sick creepy bastards. I truly hope those who I speak about (and you'll know who you are) never have kids ever as I don't know if someone whos thoughts on football instantly turn to child abuse is the kind of person who should EVER be left alone with kids.
Boardroom Stuff
This one will be short and sweet.
Almost none of us have a fucking clue what is going on. Shut the fuck up and stop pretending like you do. If you actually do know what is going on in the boardroom then heres a novel idea. Give us the fucking truth. No soundbites. no teases. no smoke and mirrors. Give us the facts. Who knows, it might even keep you in a job come the end of October.
So, no doubt I've probably pissed most of you off now (I actually planned to make this a LOT longer but decided to stop wasting my time on folk who probably struggle to spell their own name so I'll wrap it up here with a slightly more positive note.
I may get the old ban hammer for this. If so, Its been fun. If not, then I'll happily back up any of the points I've made above.

Speak up, sonny!

Boardroom's den?

A' rinn Rangers gle mhath gu dearbh.
Wee bit better than this time last year at the Hedge, right?

Thank fuck for that!
