JCDBigBear 11,002 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Just sent them this by e-mail:REF:Old Firm on different paths Article 22 Dec 2012Dear Sirs,Your on-line article erroneously states that Rangers Football Club lost its 140 year history. This is utter nonsense. The corporate side of the oldco is soon to be no more but the assets were sold to a new corporate owner. The football club has continued complete with history and tradition. This fact has been recognised by the Scottish Football Association, The Scottish Football League, The Scottish Premier League, UEFA, the European Football Club Association (ECA) and Lord Nimmo Smith (a senior Scottish High Court judge). Your article also says that a "few hundred" Rangers fans will be at Elgin when in actual fact our fans will number at least 80% of the 4500 odd who will be at the game. There is so much demand that the game is to be broadcast live on RangersTV. I for one, couldn't get any tickets.You would need to be a real football fan to understand what Rangers Football Club means to its supporters. Having read the Graham Hunter article, he clearly has no idea.Our current attitude to our old rivals is more one of apathy rather than antipathy. This is due to our current position three divisions apart. All the Rangers fans of my acquaintance are not missing our games against "the other lot". As with any intense rivalry, we still hope they lose but our interest in their results is no longer of the same importance as before. That will only return once we are back in the same division. Our recent predicament has only increased our resolve to regain our rightful position at the top of Scottish football. That day is not as far away as many people think.Yours sincerely, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk and disorderly. 15,086 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 There is no Old Firm, we have never played soccer and the writer of that article is a c**t for saying we don't have 140 years of history.

Eaglesham Bear 107 Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 JCDBigBear Well put. Not one with words myself ny E mail to them was a bit more blunt. Wonder if we get a reply? Plenty Austrailian Bears on here wonder if they can pursue this from their end. Can't blame the Aussie hacks for reprinting the bile if this is what they are drip fed from the bigots. It is our responsibility to pursue and correct this information on a global scale for as they say if you say it often enough they will start to believe it. At the moment they have free reign to print what they like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lives a sad pathetic existence and he just cant accept the facts delivered by the SFA and the European governing bodies.Ive said it before but our biggest problem is that for years we were quite apathetic towards them and we have let them get into positions of power and influence and if ever we respond they play the bigot card. Ignoring them doesnt work and neither does one or two people going on the offensive. We need to collectively go after these people and restore a sense of integrity and balance.
