scottyc06 6,927 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Does anyone know why the SFL count us as champions in 46 however it's not in our records? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBluebells 6,898 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Can't believe so many people want this.The only campaign should be to have other clubs not count their trophies won during wartime.Agreed mate, im proud of how we conduct ourselves in regards to trophies won during wartime periods and im not in favor of changing that.

BCLoyal9 53 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Totally behind this.When we are steady again , Rangers should simply indicate through a press release that the Club intend to recognise all Wartime honours gained in our official records as being equivalent to all other trophies won during our history.No questions asked , no permission sought. What the fuck is anybody going to do about it? Say that they "don't count"?The bheasts claim that our wartime titles are not valid, yet they include all goals scored during that time in their own offficial statistics.This has to be done. It's just the right thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmond7 1,573 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Does anyone know why the SFL count us as champions in 46 however it's not in our records?Thats an interesting point. The 1945-46 league season was, as far as I know, the first official league season after the war but for some reason is not counted amongst the clubs honours.- Yet it is on the official SFL site. Although perhaps its also interesting to note there was no relegation/promotion that season. Perhaps someone who was alive at the time might be able to enlighten us more.

GOAT 30,449 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 No thanks. You're all talking about tainted titles this season, now those would be tainted titles.Men were dying at war for fuck sake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy_Dave 20 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 100% behind this! We should be singing "61 titles" in our "4 men had a dream" song, regardless if they are made official or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the 45-46 season was not the usual Southern League, which was prominent during the war, as it included teams from the north aswell! So as such, it wasn't the Scottish League that we won that year however it's rather strange that the SFL include it as a title yet Rangers don't!

JTP 221 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The reasons they are or are not included aside, I think we'll all agree that this has now become a tit for tat thing with the beggars. They started it with their stripping of the titles thing.Now some may think that we are "losing our dignity" or that it's not morally correct to include titles won during the war ............. so would I personally back this campaign if it got off the ground?Too fucking right I will, they cunts started it and if it comes back to royally bite them on the arse then I'm in Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delparlane 6,010 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 So typical from our enemies. Whatever we do, there should obviously be parity across the board - Septic, HIVs, Sheepshaggers all want to count titles, then so do we. If we can't include ours, strip them of theirs.

Teams had only played 2 game before the war had ended! It was also a full league as participation was from both the southern and northern teams! I dunno, but either way it's a strange one!
