nemisis 358 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Well said that man, I'll see you there! Remember the saying: All that is needed for the forces of evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. Perhaps the saying in this context is a bit dramatic, however, the message is nevertheless the same. Too long has the Rangers support been apathetic, adopting the dignified silence stance. This was partly caused by the previous custodian & his board, who wouldn't lift a finger to defend the club or its fans.Do you think its ok to be regularly called a H** on radio etc, while the media go mad at the slightest hint of the F word?Do you think its fair to conduct news reports on Scottish sectarianism outside Ibrox? Can you imaging the outcry if it was in the East end?Do you think its unfair to edit film footage to make McCoist look like he was laughing during serious discussions about sectarianism?Do you think its fair to target Craig Whyte, when folk like Lemmon, Desmond et al have been involved in shady business deals?I could go on...Whats the objective I hear asked? Its simple, for too long has this organisation chipped away at us with their snide innuendo & bigoted comments and now its time to show the BBC just what happens when you push too far. This protest is all about publicity, the more that turns up, the more publicity we will get - and they'll hate it. We now have a custodian thats willing to take action, so lets show solidarity with him & let the BBC know that we are united and wont take anymore.If your content to sit & moan behind a keyboard, fine, this isn't for you. Likewise, like a few have suggested on here, they cant see anything wrong with the BBC, then also fine, sit at home or go to the game. However, if you want to send a clear message to the BBC, then go to the protest and stand with other Bears.Is it worth a couple of hours out your life? I certainly think so.From small acorns......From small acorns is right. The fightback has to start somewhere, this could be the place. Join the protest and you can say you were there when the tide turned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghorn leghorn 608 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Just remember fellow Queen's 11 followers,keep the heed,dignity,decorum and no sectarian songs. The bbc cameras will be there recording every word because we are in their back yard and will show us up as scum if we put a foot out of line.They will have a field day if we step out of line and bring up Manchester again.FFS behave on Saturday or we'll never hear the end of it.Bill Struth could be watching over us.

jose 5 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Would love to be there,but due to health reasons cannot attend.Unlike the scum and their '' kill the bill'' protest in St Georges Square I am sure every true RFC fan will conduct themselves in a manner befitting of our proud historic club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemisis 358 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Can I bring a Rangers Media against BBC banner, might be some camera's there and get shown on tv. I don't speak for the organisers but I think thats exactly what they want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemisis 358 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 This is what one of the organisers has just written, "On the above above we would encourage anyone coming along to to bring any sort of banner/placard or even flag they wish. We want it to be as colorful with plenty of messages to make our point! " Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 They play on Sunday mate! Im with rfc52 on this, what will be happening? Fully support it and will be attending. Fuck the BBC.I hope there will be no abusive four-letter chants directed at the BBC building or its inhabitants therein. I can guarantee that's what the BBC shower will be hoping for - PC Plod will be there in numbers and they'd love nothing better than to charge numerous protesters with BOTP and using foul and abusive language....with the 'sectarian' rider thrown in for good measure.Don't give them the opportunity.A silent protest with well-worded banners would be just as effective.What's more important is that this demo is well-attended. A large number of Rangers fans (and any friends of Rangers you can bring along) will send out the message that we've had it with this lot. I'm sure their main rivals (STV) will send a camera crew along, so - BEHAVE.Lastly - even if you can only make a 15-minute appearance - try to do so.The more the merrier.
