BRITNEY IS NOT FEELING IT 8,293 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 It may well just be a lot of rumours but its been said time and time again it was happpening at both clubs. Hibs as well.Lets not forget here back then employers had all the power unlike today. You couldnt just decide to take your employer to court. None of this human rights exsited back thenSorry man , I'm no buying it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a kick in the baws to the Catholics that played for the club long before MojoI said we are a bigoted club? No I didnt but there was a time when having catholics at our club was a bit of a taboo. Thats true. As I have said though it was a different time and considered a normal thing, just as it was normal for Sellick and Hibs to have a team of catholics. Just as it was normal in years gone by for white men to have black slaves or middle aged men to marry and impregnate 13 year old girls. Its all in the past. I will say again because I think you might be a little slow. I think we have moved on and for the better Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebooler 4,509 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Really? We have signed a lot of good non protestant players since then imoHOLY FUCK.

thebooler 4,509 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Of course but he was without a doubt the highest profile roman catholic to sign for the club and imo it opened up the door for future signings.That particular door has never been shut.

BlackPantherBear 2 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Mo was a good player, but he's a lying bastard. He almost single handedly destroyed Toronto FC over a 4 year period. I am glad that he has now sold his house in Toronto and moved to London. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgoalie 637 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 well done Mo,seemingly the Sellik supporters still hate him the most out of any ex-player for what he done,remember my brother [used to be coach at falkirk when he was there]saying he was a top bloke who would go on to coach mimself and he did with Toronto fc.

theweebluenose 4,332 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Plus some of the bitter fans should be aware that had we been in the habit of signing players of any religion or race sooner, we would have had ALex Ferguson as manager back in 1983. He only knocked back the job because at the time we wouldnt abonden our unofficial ban on signing catholic players. Luckily Ferguson hasnt done much since then right enough.This confuses me, when has race ever been an issue at Ibrox? You do realise that just before the First World War we were prepared to sign Walter Tull before he was called up for active service? On the Alex Ferguson issue you've obviously been listening to too many tims with type writers. The Catholic issue has also been exaggerated greatly, quite a number of Catholics have played for Rangers prior to Mo signing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozblue 4,331 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Wonder if he ever does the ht draw at the piggery. :lol: the only thing that would be drawn at the piggery if Mo was there would be his fucking neck ...hanging from the crossbar.

theweebluenose 4,332 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Whats to be confused about? You have managed to name 1 player from before the war. Is that a lot then ye?A club preparing to sign a black player during the early 1900's proves was quite a statement and your acting if if you can't realise that, there wasn't really a large number of quality Black players in Britain prepared to move to Scotland until the late 80's when we signed Walters who got most his abuse of the Mhanky Mob and Jambo's. A quick google search will give you a list of all the Catholics to have played for Rangers before Mo. I'm not going to deny the fact that as a club we often avoided signing those from an Irish Catholic background but this only really was an unwritten law between the 1930's and 80's and many low profile Catholic's were signed during this period.

Yes we've signed some cracking Catholic players since Mo, a few of my hero's included - Amoruso, McCann and Albertz to name a few. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His signing, in my opinion, was high profile because he was previously with celtic, and he was supposed to be goieng back there when all of a sudden, he popped up on the news wearing a Rangers top.Being a catholic had nothing to do with it.
