Wreckedroy 33 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Some have a backbone and balls and some will never possess them You think using the word "n***er" shows backbone or balls? Racial abuse only shows up a lack of intelligence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterC 12,751 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Do you believe the that Rangers are a Traditionally Protestant cultured Football Club and if so why be ashamed of showing it?I'm not ashamed of that. I just dont think that protestant culture is the be all and end all of the club. Its one of many factors that makes our club the greatest in the world.

Read the thread carefully this time and point out where i said i would call someone by that word.Then when you don't find it i can then tell you that since TWB twisted the thread as he is prone to do and deflected from the F*nian issue.I can then state that what i said was if a black person called themselves by the N word then why should they take offence when someone else calls them it.I didn't say i would call them it and i didn't advocate using it.So once you have read through it and realised you are wrong i will accept your apology then talk about the Traditions of Rangers.

Go read up on it then perhaps we can have a proper debate on it elsewhere in the forum. Now, to get back to the subject this thread s supposed to be about, I would list dignity, loyalty, honesty and integrity at the top of any list of Rangers Traditions. Along with winning obviously!

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Or are you part of the PC brigade that the Labour government have created to take away the fact that they have eradicated the British indigenous people Oh dear. I can't help but think of Eddie Izzard's 'Mongrel Nation' series when I here clap-trap about Britains 'indigenous' people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they choose to call themselves by that word is immaterial to the debate.Same when a Celtic fan calls themself a F*nian.The main crux of my argument is that if anyone calls themself by a nicknmae or colloquial term then they cannot take offence if someone uses that same term to address them.If a Celtic fan sings about being part of Paddy McCourts F*nian Army are you then saying it is wrong to call him a F*nian git,bastard,wanker or any other impolite term?

ABOD 2 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Oh dear. I can't help but think of Eddie Izzard's 'Mongrel Nation' series when I here clap-trap about Britains 'indigenous' people.Right lets get this out The meaning of "indigenous" doesn't mean that we are made from one race because Britain as we all should know has been invaded by a numerous of other races in the past which would make us Mongrels by now.The difference and the reason i used that term there now was because before Labour the people living here even from whatever race considered themselves as British.Now what you have is communities consider themselves as Pakistani, Indian, Polish, Irish, but not one mention of them being British now ask yourself that question why?And you would realise i didn't add African in that list the reason why because most of them if born here would consider themselves as British i wonder why?Maybe because its a privilege and allot better for them to do so.The rest of them Races should take a leaf from them instead of trying to change the "INDIGENOUS" peoples life's also.

Tumshie 205 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 The unionist traditions of the club are only part of the fabric that makes Rangers Football Club what it is. The Gallant Pioneers founded the club because they loved the sport. The club's winning mentality, dignity and taking pride in being the best over-rides everything else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
