Prince of Orange 84 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 a dont know much about ww2 titles... but if teams wer relagated and promoted then they should count if not then they shoudnt... thats my take on it anyway. a may very well check that out tomorow.lolSo what should we do with the title we won by a single goal (one of the best titles wins ever imo) in the 02/03 season when there was no relegation from or promotion to the spl?

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Just because those clubs lack our dignity does not mean we should drop to their level.Those who worked at home during WWII made a vital contribution to the effort - there is no lack of dignity in recognising their contribution.On the contrary - they deserve respect.

HuistraHairDo 12,514 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 any campaign should be directed at other clubs dubious history, not ours, we have shown through this stage in our history that sporting integrity does win, otherwise why are we plying our trade in the lowest league possible? sporting integrity is the reason we dont count the titles, even selik players faught in the wars, who'd of thunk? Rangers ARE Scottish football, simples. We have shown the way since 1872, and we will show how to take our club from div 3 to Scottish Champions. This is what we do, we are Rangers. I would be slightly miffed if the worst came to the worst and we were stripped of any trophies (can't see it imo), but tbh who cares that much? we will do what we have always done, win more. past glories are what rival fans talk about. roll on 55.to all the young wipper snapper bears, I would advise you look up the word 'conscript'.for the record, one of my favourite chants is 10 german bombers in the air, AND THE R.A......... get masel going there! theres a good reason we sing that. lest not forget.

Silver Fox 167 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Having looked further into this, the Scottish League as we know it, never returned until 46-47! 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!Ok, so its official in the Scottish league history AS IT Stands that we have won 55 titles thus far, and thats without us starting any campaign. PS I am personally incensed to discover that celtic count their WWI titles, never knew that, get them stripped. I Dont think I'm in favour really of claiming WW2 titles we may have won, just not the Rangers way is it ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capetownbear 75 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 If anything we should campaign that other teams titles/records are not officially recognised... the bheasts especially...

GOAT 30,449 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 This thread should have been locked months ago.Celtic count their titles during the war because there was still an official league at the time, there wasn't when we won it. So stop being disrespectful and get this thread tae fuck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebooler 4,509 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 No club should be claiming titles won during the war years. The fight should be to have these titles removed from the clubs who claim them - not to fight to have them recognised for the clubs who don't.

danger ranger 922 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 This thread is bringing all the taigs out of the woodwork, the majority of the opposing posters aren't old enough to remember the Iraq war never mind quote on wars 70 odd years ago. Fuck the scum, let's attack them on all fronts, make a fucking nuisance of ourselves, a bit of reverse psychology, a bit of cold steel right up them, let see how they like it.

bluenose_n1 536 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Things like that is what separates us from the rest we respect our armed forces and under no circumstances should we recognise anything during the wars other than the sacrifice made by our forces to defend our country the reason they claim them is because we will always cast a major shadow over them and they will stoop to any level to try and convince themselves that the are at the very least equal to us but as any good prod knows they are just scum Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
