Minutes applause for Mandela

[*Manticore* 1,893]

clearly some of the nutters on here do exactly that. Confused, angry little men lashing out basically.

Do you seriously have an opinion on the size of people against Mandela?

Amazing.

[Courtyard Bear 41,356]

Well that's an extra pint in the pub to avoid this mock show of mourning.

[BlueAvenger 5,064]

Is this the same SPFL who did not recommend a minutes silence for our fallen heroes on Remembrance Day....so fuck the SPFL.

With regard to the minutes applause for Mandela (should Rangers proceed with it) in my opinion its a personal choice.

Man of peace / equality or racist / terrorist?

I wont be applauding but I wont be booing.

I also hope that my fellow bears don't boo because that's what our enemies will be waiting for and want.

Hopefully that's what anybody who has any problem with it will do.

We're already the big bad Rangers either way.

Exactly

Indeed, the stench of hypocrisy is overpowering, but this could do great damage to our Club's reputation.

How dare Mandella fight against apartheid, what was he thinking

[TravelingWilBEARy 4,319]

I don't like the idea of a minutes applause anyway.

[*Manticore* 1,893]

He should have voted it out.

[TheKingObv 5,987]

Ridiculous

It's not the ideal it's the methods

[FernandoR20 2,132]

This is stupid.

[alstone 374]

Why can't you all just stand and applaud one of the most important figures of recent history and be done with it?

Cos he's a terrorist scum bag

Well bring a banner to the stadium saying what you just said on it and see how you get on

Do you think rangers fans will attack him for it? or are you hoping strathclydes finest throw a rangers fan in jail?

I get the worrying feeling that Rangers fans will be the only set of supporters in the world who refuse do a minutes applause for one of the most iconic figures in recent history

You think so? I've read a lot of other people and other teams fans say the same thing. Not everyone thinks the way the media tell you too!

We didn't have anything for an ex British prime minister yet we want one for Mandela?

Thats because Thatcher was a cunt

[ayro 241]

The decision making of minutes applause / silence and who or what it is for is pretty fucked up right now.

Throw in the clapping on certain minutes, boardroom demos etc and you forget what it actually is you are in the ground for.

Personally, I go to watch my team play football and don't really care about the other bullshit that people want to bring to it.

[OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,473]

And the argument for not doing one for Mandela is because people think he's a cunt...

Thatcher was also an iconic figure. You've made yourself look a bit silly with that post.

Lenny Henry will be firing round to Winnie's with a couple of tins of leg openers as we speak.

And boom there it is. So we can't pay respects to a British prime minister but we should for a murdering terrorist?
