Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Possibly an appropriate topic for my first post (if it gets through moderation that is).We are united. United in our love for our club and wanting what is best for it. We don't always agree on what that is but that is normal and healthy, we can't expect to agree on everything. If we all met in the pub we'd probably get on well (maybe a few exceptions there but in general we would).Constructive criticism is fine but sometimes people just seem to make things up, particularly about the RST. I've read things on here that I know are nonsense and that is why I registered. At the Trust we believe in fan ownership and have in place a mechanism to achieve that. We have tried to take on board all the criticism by launching a new website which gives members an opportunity to become much more involved in the running of the Trust.I don't think it's particularly helpful to anyone to refer to things that happened nearly five years ago. The vast majority of Board members have changed since then and we want to move forward.I'm happy to answer any questions as long as they are sensible but I'm not going to get embroiled in petty arguements with people who clearly hate the Trust for no good reason.Are you partial to a certain type of orange?

govanblue 16,847 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Go on then. I take it you will be joining the Trust at the same time.(How do I do the whistling smiley?)Oooh. Touché.Unfortunately I have pledged all my money to supporting Rangers directly. But if you put a tenner in to the fund, I'll put another tenner in to the fund too. How's that?PS: If the whistling smiley you want is crabflute, you just type...: crabflute: but without the space after the first colon.PPS - here's a list of Fund member benefits http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=252567entry1061050571 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepeter 5,627 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm not suggesting banning any mention of FF/RST, but what I am suggesting is banning the personal abuse and pointless slagging that we see so often on here. It's holding back the Rangers support.Are you saying the FF and RST can be lumped together as one? FF and the RST have consistently and repeatedly denied this.And you're thinking of the wrong thread, I'm on about the thread previously posted in which he exposed Imran Ahmad on the CRO.So you pick and choose which (or whose) personal abuse offends you? Really? Your post was about the personal abuse dished out to Chris, if I mention the personal abuse he dishes out I'm thinking of the wrong thread...?In any case, it's clear from this vote that your forum has made it's opinion clear. Which is a nice start. Hopefully the administrators of the forum will act upon the mandate it has been given and cut out the personal abuse, the petty shite and accept constructive criticism and debate only. Hate is for our enemies, we all have a common goal.The 'mandate' you claim is (at the time of this post) 56 votes for "developing a more healthy relationship with other forums," 56 votes for "no/unnecessary." That's not a mandate.What's the current standing in the vote on FF? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you well know the money went to Rangers Football Club, not Darren Cole.But for what it's worth, here are my predictions...1. Darren will be a massive player for us next season2. Bluepeter9 will renew his Fund membership this season3.

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Sorry but that is idealistic.The forums are very different and for that reason attract very different types of people as adherents. I can't see any marked relationship between the Rangers that I love/live and the FF forum or the RST. The very ethos of these organisations are the opposite of the Rangers legacy of morality, dignity and dare I say it integrity (sporting and otherwise).For me that's one of the reasons why the events of the last 18 months have hurt so much. People who have been involved with the club have not lived up to these standards, they've let the club - and all associated with it - down.There are others, on the fringe of the club (principally the entities named above), who also have acted abominably and continue to do so.The thought of uniting with them appeals to me as much as the thought of inviting Craig Whyte round for dinner.how to rig a poll: put one question that you want to be the answer - put other questions to split the answers you don't want ! lol what about the option for every one just accepts that forums are bonkers ? that would get a concensus!?
