nachothelegend 1,932 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 I've lost family fighting political ideologies in Germany in the past. Don't hold it against all Germans though. I also have Irish married into the family. He certainly isn't a rabid republican supporter of the IRA. Don't see any reason to think Daly is either. As far as I'm concerned he's just a foreigner playing for Rangers. Irish doesn't mean anti-British.And likewise.As I said this is a Bridge too far for me.Never happened in my lifetime and I cannot accept this in Amy way whatsoever.So I'm out.

Inigo 32,534 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Be careful what you wish for at silent Ibrox.We are the Bedrock of RFC, and it is foolish to disregard them.If by we you mean people with views like yours I would say coprolite is a better description than bedrock.

nachothelegend 1,932 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Let's clear this up once and for all.Lee McCulloch is Club Captain.Lee Wallace is Vice-Club Captain.Lee Wallace was captain before Lee McCulloch entered the field of play and then subsequently, after Jig had to be replaced by Daly, Wallace was removed from the pitch and either he, on his own, or from a pre-match instruction, gave the band to Daly who was captain at United I'm sure.If you have a problem with this then you need to have a look in the mirror.Let he without Sin Cast the First Stone.DO not question me. Now respect my beliefs. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie0202 12,339 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I would actually go for Wallace (as vice-captain). Having seen him in interviews he seems pretty intelligent, a good type to be the face of the club and I think his professionalism and fitness shows a good example. Maybe he should be a little more communicative on the pitch sometimes though.Your last sentence is why I don't think he should be vice captain. He isn't naturally vocal or indeed naturally a leader. Last season was different by virtue of the fact he was one of our more senior players but under normal circumstances he would be nowhere near the armband and that is not a criticism of him as a player.I'll say this one quietly. Very quietly, probably based on nothing more than hope but I would like to see Macleod growing in to a captain's role in the future. He is around about the age Barry Ferguson first broke in to the team and has had more starts than Barry had at his age. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the goal machine 7,803 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I reckon Wallace could become the captain we all wanted Davis to be. Not the loudest but one who influenced the team with his work rate, professionalism and set an example for the rest of the lads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,534 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 just Republican.Ok?A Republican from another country doesn't bother me. Bocanegra was from a Republic. Northern Ireland might be a different kettle of fish though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FernandoR20 2,133 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 And what if. won't be returning to Ibrox whilst this Shenanigans goes on.Nothing to do with Religion but this is a Bridge too Far for me. Is that ok with you?Politics is a pain at tTimes but sometimes it's the principle that Matters.Good riddance.You can join bluenose1972 and leave the proper fans to it.

Jamie0202 12,339 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 just Republican.Ok?Nacho I'd like to ask this,All the Irishmen, sorry, Republic of Irishnessmen that have did you or your kin wrong, please answer, would any have pulled on the blue jersey for the mighty Gers? Jon Daly has and will continue to do so. He was even proud to captain our team so on reflection, who is the bigot? It takes a bigger man to admit maybe he was wrong.

Pretty sure Daly has fuck all to do with the kind of Republicanism that you mean, nor do most Irish, few of whom would have been around when they became independent.

This season is huge for him in his Rangers career although not necessarily his footballing career. Here's hoping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear agents are often too good at convincing young players otherwise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
