caseyjones 3,009 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Honestly if the best they can come up with is that it rhymed with thanks then I think all their pens should be confiscated.No one wants newco but everyone of the bidders involved has mentioned it at some point.Why not just do a No to Newco banner to stop the words being misunderstood or is that too easy for those noted wordsmiths.If you misunderstood the banner, I really don't know what to say.

caseyjones 3,009 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 You are full of it mate... You are too interested in the semantic of the situation and not looking at the big picture.Facts are we had fans who singled out the nationality of a bidder. Could you imagine the furore if we had some of the following banners:"Take your money back... black""You ain't getting your cake and eating it... fatty""We don't want you today.. gay"All these messages would be considered prejudice and have no place in today's society. Singling out someone for race, religion or nationality is not acceptable.So stopping the narrow mindedness and admit the banner did more harm than good.Beep beep!

eosmhdo 1,879 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 If you misunderstood the banner, I really don't know what to say.Are you saying it has not been misunderstood by plenty including the very bidders we needed at that time.Are you saying it was not controversial.Are you saying they were very good banners intending to help Rangers. "truck off yanks" If you are then its best you don't know what to say to be honest!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don81 2,832 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 A prime example of this is when the Ref gets booed in football at half time or full time. Frustrates me when people do that. This , the amOunt of times some tim has claimed we booed our players off after we've booed the ref off is unreal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NessFTW 40 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 the trouble is people are just making shit up to suit their agenda. its got so bad that even Carlos is confused. if anyone's doing something to upsett the American players its the ones misrepresenting the facts.I don't think for one second Carlos thought the banner was aimed at the players. Regardless of what it actually read, there is no doubt that the banner was extremely insensitive and offensive to our American players. I don't see why there was any need to bring in Miller's nationality into it as part of their 'protest'.Thankfully Carlos did realise that those responsible were in the vast minority and are in fact morons.

A few people did that and it hurt a lot of people,' the American admitted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
