The Protestant traditions of the Rangers football club

[sonOwilliam 0]

You could try and educate them but its not worth it they think there smarter than us.

Im starting to wonder if the taig forums get boys in there saying FTP and we have to get rid of all this tri colour stuff. ?

Its a joke really it just shows how good of people us Rangers fans are and we can take things on the chin more and welcome anybody in to support us too.

we are a bit more inclusive than them though

(tu)

I've read through this entire thread and in all honesty this argument is so futile, swinging back and forth like this, it has me tearing my hair out.

I have to agree to disagree at times, unless the barber be wondering where the hell is billy this week.

You've got to realise supporting Rangers means more than just supporting a football team, Rangers are more than that, they are my life, they are how I live my life, I love it so much!

All Dietspam...

And PS Diet....I do take exception to your inference that all those who wish to maintain the Protestant character of Rangers hate the pope or wish to sing about the Billy boys.

I'm not saying that at all. But I bet the percentage of those that do is high.

Very interesting...albeit your tendency for contradicting yourself surfaces again.

So if thats your stance are you suggesting that the majority of Bears are bigots ?

I never said that. Do you think anyone who says fuck the pope and sings the billy Boys is a bigot?

[D'Artagnan 13,319]

I never said that.

No but you certainly inferred it with your percentage related wager.

I never said anything about Bigots. You did.

[D'Artagnan 13,319]

You have suggested that a large percentage of Rangers supporters who wish to maintain the Protestant character of our club are those of the "FTP Brigade" and who would dearly love to belt out TBB.

I think most posters are clear what your inference is here.

Its a sweeping generalisation to make and one, I believe is fundamentally wrong.

I meant what I said. In no way did I say or mean bigot. If that's what you think, that's another story. I wouldn't know, since you never answered that question.

[D'Artagnan 13,319]

So you are saying that hating the Pope and belting out the Billy Boys is not bigotted ?

Albeit...in your opinion its symptomatic of the majority of Rangers supporters who wish to see the Protestant character of the club maintained ?

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,137]

A Bigot is a person who blindly supports a particular political or religious view (dictionary) therefore Brown, Cameron and all politicians are Bigots, as is anyone holding to a particular religion.Non religious or non Political people can't be Bigots, as they don't hold any views on religion.

Bigotry is a state or condition of a narrow-minded, intolerant person with blind and obstinate attachment to a particular creed, party or opinion. As most people fall into this catogary whether it's polotics,religion,way of life,then most pepole practice Bigotry.

So, no Popery.

[*Manticore* 1,893]

Well I'm not religious.

Fuck The Pope.

Aye, the BB was a true proddy institution in my day and defineatly no queer hawks, a right few hard men in my group,although we did have church parades and Sunday morning bible classes, the Scouts would accept anyone, I loved the BB, sad too say in these days but as a young guy then it gave you something to look forward too on a Friday night.

The BB was always good for the football competitions at Kelvinhall and the tuck shop at the end of the night.
