Same. 

Not only does it feed our enemies it’s a bit embarrassing for our club. 
 
 

I agree.  
In this social media world we need to be more savvy. It’s the optics. How it will look. 
the Clydeside flares were simply spectacular. 
we just shoot ourselves in foot. 
We need to be less naive.  Gerrard is presenting us as a multicultural modern club.
The George square drunken fights with supporters of own club, were shameful.  
The only defence we have is what about .....
I think we need to be smarter. 

Deal done.

Bar scum everyone is entitled to an opinion. For me Alfredo is our best player. He will follow whatever instructions he is given by management at the weekend to the letter. He may get a hat trick or through little fault of his own may get sent off.
Did I mention that I am a big Morelos fan and do not like to see criticism of him ?

Our captain on a famous day. 
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
                         But O heart! heart! heart!
                            O the bleeding drops of red,
                               Where on the deck my Captain lies,
                                  Fallen cold and dead.
 
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
                         Here Captain! dear father!
                            This arm beneath your head!
                               It is some dream that on the deck,
                                 You’ve fallen cold and dead.
 
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
                         Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
                            But I with mournful tread,
                               Walk the deck my Captain lies,
                                  Fallen cold and dead.
Captain Fernando Ricksen

Good luck sir

I think we are missing the point here. Many of these signings would have occurred without Mark Allen.  Kamara for example was a stand out in a poor Dundee team. Jones is a NI Rangers supporter. Davis and McGregor are explayers.  
Katic and Aribo have been good value.  
I think every one of us given his budget and time and club profile could have done better. 
I think he has not found the sort of players I expected. 
By that I mean Morelos like. Thanks JJ for that one. 
celtic  seem able to find dembele Wanyama van dyke etc. This is the type of added value he should have brought.  
There is something we are not seeing here. I suspect there has been a fall out with the management team and I also suspect Gerrard disappointed with his role. 
I don’t see this as a loss to the club and I suspect the parting was precipitated by the club  
But good luck mark

Is everyone else the same as me that the only tops you really like are from the seasons where we won league titles? It’s probably just subconscious that some strips you remember great times and automatically you review the actual quality of the strip even higher. Like the Gazza strip mentioned on this thread.

My first Rangers strip, socks were wooly and the hidden foot part was white if I remember correctly. 

1. This was 3 years ago and we don’t know the context.  
2. It is well known he has PUL roots and supports Rangers. 
3. The Hutton post is a rumour with no evidence. 
4. Someone is mischief making! 

The story here could be that Kilnarnock players spout their IRA  backing, disgracefully and in a sectarian attack in front of NI team mates. Not too far stretched given thats who the group are meant to be, and I've yet to see Jones actually singing anything.
That's how our enemies would play this out, manipulate to attack the enemy and protect their own players.
We just do their work for them and wonder why we keep getting fucked over.

The scientific method suggests no requirement for there to be a god. You may go with agnostic as is your right.  The statement that there is no god is not remotely ridiculous.  There is no evidence and no need.  Darwinism explains evolution of complex life which is the main evidence god protagonists use.  Read some literature such as the blind watchmaker. 
The thing is that most people’s beliefs are fixed and will not change with no evidence.  
I do not seek to change your view.  
It dismays me that Christian Muslim conflict drives many wars. It dismays me that the Catholic Church promote separate schools and are antiabortion and anticontraception   
I find it ironic that with countries Christians fight or Muslim groups fight.
Atheism is not as bad as other religions.  
A lack of belief in a being with no evidence of existence is a perfectly sane assessment of the evidence we currently have. 
I do not have to prove the absence of something with no evidence. The burden of proof lies with you.   
I could debate this endlessly but not sure most in a Rangers forum wish to.  
I simply wanted us not to self harm on Sunday. The fans didn’t.  I’m pleased with that. The performance was awful. We need to ( the team) do better.  
We belong in different Venn diagrams for religious and other beliefs but we support Rangers where we are as one  and as such we must be a broad church ( pardon the pun). This makes us stronger! 
WATP!

It's perfectly acceptable for the legia fans to hold the Pope dear to their hearts. But there is clear UEFA rules on religious, political etc acts. 
Do the legia fans display this banner at every home and away game and its a clear part of their tradition? If they did then I would agree it wasn't a deliberate target. 
Many Rangers fans might have a high opinion of the pope. A few may dislike him greatly. That's not the point. The point was to cause offense with an inflammatory and sectarian banner using religious symbolism. That surely must fall foul under the UEFA rules. 
Winston Churchill banner against a German team for example? That would be offensive and discriminatory behaviour. 

People have various opinions on faith.  IMO George Michael’s version is still the best.

So the burden of proof lies with those who don't believe he exists, with their position formed on the absence of fact?
'The statement that there is no God is ridiculous' is just as ridiculous as stating the counterpoint,  'God exists' (i appreciate you are sitting on the fence with this one by the way)
If faith brings you, or any others, comfort then belief in God's existence (in whatever form) has served its purpose. 
The point made by TBTB was that you can be raised with Protestant values without needing to believe in the ethereal. Similarly, the right to support Rangers football club is not exclusive to those with a specific religious faith.
