1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I believe there is a very vocal minority who think that if they shout the loudest & the longest then they are speaking on behalf of the majority of Rangers supporters.Those who have the strongest opinions are those who put it across more vociferously than those who, like me, love the club but will not shout about it from the highest rooftop.I do not understand the mentality of those who protest their love of the club yet hold, apparently, TBB in higher regard than the club's reputation. However, I would say that if that's your opinion .. fine, but I respect your opinion (however much I disagree with it) then i expect the same courtesy from you.I am no more or less of a Rangers supporter than you, I am certainly not "The Enemy Within" ... the only arbiter on how strongly I feel for the club is me.I agree.Do you not think the apologists and handwringers within our support fall into that bracket?

ABOD 2 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 It's a forum ya dafty. Plus, any time I offer my opinion on something like this I get called a 'tim' or worse - including from you.Yep its a forum for Rangers fans to express their opinion on certain things not to make Rangers fans look stupid forum. Does it ever cross your small infused mind why people would think that you're a taig? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if it was a subject about celtic fans you'll say well we are just as bad look at what we do etc. Theres nothing wrong criticising our support but it seems you cant criticise or see them for what they are without bringing us into it and making a comparison.

ABOD 2 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 In all honestly this a stupid thread on a Rangers forum.... Reason being if there wasn't a big rivalry with all the culture and tradition differences then there wouldn't be a Rangers the way we know it.But there is and if you can't except that then you're in a dream world.
