Quintessential British club - in an independent Scotland?

[UKIP BEAR 370]

DEFINE ME ADD ON I cannot see it been an issue take that famous British Empire club 1888 founded in Scotland, has always been based in Scotland, became an irish club when a state across the sea became a nation in its own right, adopted/stole their flag 1922, became the first British club to win the European cup 1967 ( never having stopped harping on about it since) and now their main man runs the corrupt cabal. Based on that independence would not be an issue we would just develop identity and multiple personalities like the bheasts from the east

Should that not be infamous?;-)

well unless you have a big steel saw that would split Britain at Hadrains wall and a big blow fan to push Scotland 200 miles north then we would stop being British, we live in the British isles,we will always be British. or we could just go out and vote NO, unionists outweigh nationalists by about 3/1, my only fear is ppl wont vote and just think we'll be fine............ I was born under a Union Jack!!!!

[Bluepeter9 5,167]

Anyone who votes for independence will be culpable in the death of this country....Scotland would implode under Stalin....I mean salmond.

More FUD factor - Scotland will do just fine on its own

In addition to which, the Scottish Nasty Party ethos of the 1970's still remains.

"Home Rule is Rome Rule!"

Many have not forgotten some of Soapy's previous photo shoots.

Thanks for that CB. I for one have NEVER forgotten just how slimy and sleekit the pie man has behaved in his courting of the papish vote. He and his merry band cannot and should not be trusted. Vote NO. To a Scottish Rhepublic.

they think they're irish 125 years later

[heathen fish boy 8,555]

I was born British and British I shall remain! Herr salmond just wants his name in the history books,and it will be,under bawbags and buffoonery of the early 21'st century

you can't possibly believe that?

[bluepeter 5,627]

Agreed

I'll be voting

Just to be clear, I hope everyone votes, regardless if they're right (like me) or wrong (like you)

I also hope that whichever side loses accepts that loss and retires gracefully. I sincerely hope a No vote wins, but if the majority of Scots want independence we should accept that and move on (or move out!).

Im British and always will be. So is Rangers.

[keithgersbear 3,225]

Well let's start with being Protestant - implying a belief in some omnipotent figure ' in the sky' now that's a bit silly isn't it! Like believing in the tooth fairy

Do you have to be so offensive to our Protestant friends on this forum?

[keithgersbear 3,225]

The SNP will play on the Catholic vote. It is the duty for Protestants who aren't involved in the SNP to vote no and save Scotland from tyranny.

[burnbank bear 342]

I think we should vote bluepter9 off rangers media !!

[TravelingWilBEARy 4,319]

It's a hard one to guess at, I think if Independence does happen then give it 2 or 3 generations and the hard line Unionist stance of our support would be diluted to the point of almost non-existence. That's only a guess though, it's an interesting hypothetical question.

[FernandoR20 2,133]

Just as our "good friend" George the cunt Galloway says.. 'Just say naw'.

[IndyBear 10]

After we get indepence we'll still be British

[.Williamson. 81,876]

Celtic have always been seen as some kind of Irish club playing in Britain because of their fans so I don't see why our fans would stop being British because a country changes.

[WillemBear 17]

It really would make this forum a much better place if BP9 was banned, permanently.

Whilst I agree that the opinions expressed by BP9 on here are often ill conceived and flawed to say the least, if we ban posters because their opinions differ from our own, then we are no better than "The East End Fascists".

Rather than deny them their right to freedom of expression, we should be doing all we can to change their opinions by educated and informed persuasion.

IMO independence will go through, the fact there are so many who vote SNP in this country and so little who vote for other parties will see to that. I also believe that in terms of fans being drawn to a club as opposed to supporting them because their father did etc, you will find that there is a decline as we will be identified as outcasts by others who are new to football without knowledge or being swayed from their families club - a british club in Scotland. It's a role reversal of how we view the scum as an irish club in Scotland. Will never stop me supporting my club but i'm prepared for more of a backlash against our fans than what we are seeing now should independence go through.

Not everyone voting for the SNP will vote for independence, they're seen as the only alternative in Scotland to Labour rightly or wrongly. The Tories are the anti-christ in Scotland and any chance the Lib Dems had went with the coalition.

The guy sets out to annoy and troll people by constantly saying the same thing, more than just having a differing opinion. He's made it clear 100 times about how he doesn't like any of the other elements to supporting Rangers so why does he need to keep coming into threads like this?

Kenny MacAskill's brother will probably vote yes . . . Allan is a lobbyist for the energy industry . . . he has contacts with Spanish energy company Repsol . . . Who have a presence in Libya . . . And Kenny released Al Megrahi . . . a Libyan . . . Oh, and what about that wind farm that they're trying to build offshore near to Trump's pitch'n'putt . . . rotten to the core

People with weak arguments usually resort to some sort of editorial censorship to stop anyone poo pooing on their view

You'd love that to be the reason people hate you, but it's not.
